>look around the newly entered room
Here it is, the new room. This sure is a room. Wow, what a room.
You are doing everything possible to avoid addressing the Computer Terminal Thing (CTT) across the room, as it looks completely overcomplicated. You did express some unsatisfaction with the previous puzzle's simplicity, but this is a bit much. H.N. absolutely got help on this one, since you doubt that Hare-brained Nimrod could even open command prompt on a modern computer, let alone make whatever the hell this thing looks like.
You consider pondering for a moment who would be willing to help H.N. that also knows how to plug in a USB cable, but decide it would be a waste of time. Revenge against associates only comes after the initial revenge, obviously.
