Ami gave Scrap and Bake a questioning look as they mentioned Cuppa. "You mean your brown-coated unicorn friend? I can find her if you like, it'll take a second if you have the time to wait." The alicorn offered, waiting for an answer from them, but blinking in surprise and suddenly furrow her brow.
"There are power fluctuations in random spots in the lighting... I don't understand why, but I will need to inspect the reactors and try to find the cause of that problem. The lights have worked without flaw apparently for two centuries now, so them going now makes no sense." Then she looked to Bake, Scrap and Violet. "I'll quickly search for her now, alright?"
------------------
Bone Head would step in, the room fully lit and bare of anything aside from scanning equipment and other such menial things. Most of the larger machines were off for now, if only to save wasting any power on unneeded machinery.
Genuinely there was nothing of interest other than a foot-locker tucked under one of the large scanning machines. His scavenging desire would surely lead him to opening it, only for him to see a pair of razor claws incredibly similar to his own, if not wearing a far heavier staining of blood, despite looking otherwise clean.
A flicker of lights would probably not phase the griffon, but perhaps more clacking of talons would.
"Really, Bones? Who in Tartarus would bother leaving their possessions in here? Should've been more considerate to that AI." Bone Head would hear his own voice darkly mocking him, but it was difficult to discern his location due to him throwing his voice in random directions.
As he was taunted by himself, the door leading out of the screening room slid shut, making a clunking similar to the locking of the armoury door.... It seemed he was to be trapped in here with himself.

Amber gave a thoughtful nod, smiling at Dash. "Then let's go get them, we can get Star at the same time and take a look around as a group. Should be fun!" The orange earth pony chimed before trotting towards the stairs upwards once more. "The sooner we do it, the sooner we get to explore!" She then threw in afterwards, seeming quite excited now, perhaps she was wanting to find the reactors and such.
---------------------
In the medical storage, Cuppa was constantly looking around in suspicion as she was waiting to see if anything would come out.
Then there were flashes of light that shocked Cuppa half to death, the mare taking deep breaths as she tried to calm down. "What're ya doin', poppin' up on a pony like that? Ah almost had a heart attack." The bean-butt pony asked, causing Ami to snicker a little.
"Sorry, I was just looking for you, as your friends Bakewell, Scrap and Violet are wondering where you are. I'll let them know you're down here though."
"Uhh... Thanks. Ah jus' thought ah shouldn't interrupt 'em whilst they were bakin'. So ah came down t' the infirmary t' see what ah could find. Should really consider tellin' somepony when ah intend t' do summint... Uhh...."
"Yes?"
"That all ya wanted t' know? Ah'd like t' be able t' make use o' some o' these medical supplies if possible. Would ya mind if ah did that?"
"Well... You aren't classed as medical staff, so... I can't really, sorry." Ami explained, frowning a little. "If I could, I'd assign ponies with higher clearance, but I'm not really allowed to, even now. Need to follow Stable protocols as much as possible."
At the denial of these supplies, Cuppa frowned and lowered her ears in disappointment. "'S okay, ah'll find more elsewhere."
"I'll let your friends know you're here and tell them what you said. I think you had them a bit worried, but I'm not sure." Finishing at that, Ami vanished in a small flurry of fading-out lights.
And Cuppa was alone again. No sounds around her, and everything seemed fine. Maybe Ami's appearance had scared off anything in here for now.
----------------
Xeshir and Lucky would see a colourful ward, as would be expected of a paediatrics ward, though the colour had faded over time, they could both see it was of smiling ponies and happy clouds. Generally anything that was the norm for keeping young foals happy was here.
There was literally nothing wrong with this room at all, the pair could tell that from the beginning. No weird shifting of light, nothing at all.
---------
Arc and Nova would step into the burns ward, they would see a nice, shiny, very sanitary room. The duo could see machines that could only assumingly be required for the gradual treatment of burns, as removing the skin and magicking it back to health worked, but no pony liked the idea of having a chunk of skin cut off and grown back. Not back then at least.
It would also, like Xeshir and Lucky's experience with the paediatrics ward, nothing seemed amiss at all, as if everything had been tidied away perfectly... Which was understandable considering an AI had been keeping it all clean and dust free this whole time.
