8. Wait for the System to Reengage

Starfield - Wait for the System
Wait again for a few seconds for the system to reengage. The Terrormorph will apear at this point so try not to make unneccessary movement and sound to avoid being detected.

9. Kill the Terrormorph

Starfield - Kill the Terrormorph
Kill the Terrormorph to get a sample so Hadrian can analyze it. You can confront it directly, but it is best to run around the facillity, let the turrets damage it, and restore the power to the Kill Lanes to help ease combat.
