Infested Automaton

There's a chamber filled with dead robots. A lone automaton still has a faintly glowing core but it's engulfed by a grotesque, organic growth and doesn't respond.

By studying the Glowing Automaton and how its inner workings are laid out, you realize that specific metals and their arrangements resist various ailments! You apply this Technology to yourself.

At the slightest touch of the core, you are jolted by electricity. You scamper away, feeling altered from the experience.
