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 "heat beam sterilisation" where he was last standing. There is nothing Abe can hide behind, so he has to keep moving or else be killed. The Eye's aggression is assured by a circuit breaker, with five chant suppressors preventing a rogue laborer from potentially sabotaging this function. The heat beams can destroy chant suppressors, and Abe uses this to allow the activation of the circuit breaker, which renders the Eye docile and purple.
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". It is unclear how much sentience the Eye has.
