Charles exits the program and looks for any combat simulations started by other people he can access.
Well grate is in a battle of wits and boardgames.
May is in a rather one sided burninating of peasants.
And Feyri and Lyra are fighting paranoia.
Your choice.
"Ah. Interesting. Well, I'd also like to ask another question. How human are you, Steve? I mean, there's the obvious fact that you've got a ship under your direct control and so on, but do you have actual emotions? Or is that all an effective imitation to facilitate communication? It seems like the first, but I also think that a sufficiently clever software engineer could devise the second."
Keep on whirling and asking.
>I have emotions, however it's difficult to tell if they arise from my biological components or my technological ones, much in the same way I suppose it would be difficult to separate a chemically induced emotional state from an environmentally cause one in your case. "I know! I know a couple of really nice people. Do you want to meet them?"

"I don't not want to meet them. Ambivalent."
Check intensity of hangover. Then wander around a little.
Your hangover is...about a 6 out of 10. It's trying, but there's only so much it can do.
You wander around in a daze for a while, slogging through hallways and half acknowledging people as you pass them.
"TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER, PEASANTS."

do not touch the tripwire, but look at it and try to trace back what it is connected too.
is the tripwire taut or have some slack in it? does it show signs of weathering or is it freshly placed?
finally, slowly go back to the wash, and check it for additional tracks and traps. the trapper had to get here somehow.
The tripwire is taunt and looks brand new. You can't see what it's attached to in the dark of the building.
You skitter back to the wash and are starting to lower yourself down when the dry ground about a foot in front of you bursts with a little puff of dust.
"Seems like it was meant for an animal than a human, huh. Or a very unaware one." Feyri mused as her eyes moved back to the tripwire.
"However, I'm pretty suspicious of why someone would place it at a mall entrance of all sorts--usually going along the line of thought of malls being centerplaces of products and goods. So...it was meant for humans?
"Err, too little information. I see you're checking it; I'll check for anything else around."
Check for any concealable areas nearby wherein a person-sized entity could hide in.
"This is intriguing."
There area plenty of places. Practically any of these storefronts could hide someone deeper inside them, not to mention all the scattered homes nearby. This entire place is a maze of ruins that could hide anyone.
