It's Makoa's turn to try and puzzle a way through an alien security system, in Ohhh yes, twice the purple flame!
The characters each faced a unique test. The principle behind this was actually pretty simple. The only way to enter the sanctum is through its teleportation, and it first teleports any visitor to a randomly-selected test chamber. Each test is designed to be *impossible* for the invaders, based on their specific biology and capabilities. In the case of this chamber, the key is colour vision! The invaders are red-green colourblind, and can't see the path laid out on the floor in matching shades of red and green. The mid-path teleportation breaks up the path further. Anyone straying off the path will be assaulted by the drones until they make it back, and they need to complete this puzzle while also activating the torches with the magical fire.
The reason for the randomisation is also simple. It means that if by some chance one of the invaders does manage to make it through, others can't follow them by just following their description of what they did. While I only provided three test chambers, in theory there are hundreds of variations. An individual invader has no idea what dangers or challenges they would face if they entered the chamber.
Since there's no sign the invaders made it into the sanctum, the plan clearly worked.
