The Eye

The Eye is an artificial intelligence used by Soulstorm Brewery to safeguard the core of the facility.

Upon entering the area, the Eye identifies Abe as a "contaminated laborer" and attempts to eradicate him by focusing its gaze and then unleashing a laser where he was last standing. There is nothing Abe can hide behind, so he has to keep moving or else be killed. The only way to 'defeat' the eye is to use its laser to destroy the chant suppressors in the area and then to possess it. After which, the Eye will become docile and Abe will be allowed to continue to pump #4 and #5.

Security Log 3247 suggests that the Eye wants to make eye contact and suggests it wants to make friends. It follows by saying the new circuit breaker should keep it "nice and hostile". So, it is unclear how much sentience the Eye has.
