Stepping over to the other side of the screen, Minita slashed at tone of the boxes in the hope that it will hurt the haunt.

Fahd moves to the screen and swings at it with all his might.
Seeing the others focus their attacks on the screen, Rhiannon leaves off the idea of channeling divine energy and strikes again and again and again at the screen!

Arin is out of energy channeling, so...
Arin moves to the center of the room, still looking away from the mirror.
[move] 20'
The little gnome begins an incantation that is now familiar to the group. As it ends, they all feel energized with extra... oomph.
[standard] Cast Blessing of Fervor on the entire party. Duration 8 rounds.
Blessing of Fervor (EVERYBODY READ for BENEFITS!):
Blessing of Fervor wrote:
With this blessing, you call your allies to move forth and empower them to conquer and become victorious. Each round for the duration of this spell, each of your allies can choose one of the following bonuses for that round at the beginning of its turn (their choice).
* Increase its speed by 30 feet.
* Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
* Take one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using its highest base attack bonus.
* Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
* Cast a single spell of 2nd level or lower as if it were an enlarged, extended, silent, or still spell.
These effects are not cumulative with similar effects, such as those provided by haste or a speed weapon, nor do they actually grant an extra action, so you can't use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round. Blessing of fervor does not stack with haste.
Seeing the screen destroyed, the paladin can hear the voice still coming from the ruined remains - and though she doesn't understand much of anything surrounding this 'technology' that the others have spoken of, still she can hear the tremors in the voice that gives away Isirah Tana's true feelings. "AI! Keep speaking to her! This Isirah Tana didn't know that you were still alive! Your words are having an impact, despite what she says!"
Then Rhiannon again turns to the flow of divine energy, trying to disrupt this 'haunt' alongside Arin.
Channel Energy:2d6 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10 (DC 16 Will save for 1/2 damage)

Fahd delays, realizing that simply destroying the room doesn’t seem to be having any effect at all on the strange voice.

Yeah forgot what we were dealing with, but the fighter can't do anything, he don't have positive damage and he doesn't have religion, so I guess that is what he does not knowing any better.
Rhiannon continues to channel what positive energy she has remaining...
Channel Energy:2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6 (DC 15 Will save for 1/2 damage)
Using Fervor this time, instead of LoH. As for your question Arin, I should have a total of three left, each of them doing 2d6 damage. I've used 4 LoH (2 for each channel) and two Fervor (again, 2 for each channel.) The Fervor has a slightly lower Will save since it uses her WIS modifier, but I'd rather not run entirely out of one or the other so I'm going to alternate at this point until all my uses are gone. Though actually I'll still retain one of each, as I've got an odd number of uses and I have to use 2 to channel.
That said... after being invited to look at the Haunt description, can we use a wand of healing to damage the thing? Or can Rhiannon use her single use LoH and/or Fervor ability to 'heal' it instead of just channeling? Then I could double the amount of damage I'm doing by just straight up using Fervor and/or LoH on the Haunt. If so, please consider that last 'channel' a use of 'Fervor' instead, if that's OK? And if wands will work, I've got a CLW want someone is welcome to use!

If that works Arin has a lot of healing left. One other possibility: energy body which can be used to heal or harm undead. If the GM thinks this should work I'll switch over to it.
Energy Body (Su):
As a standard action, you can transform your body into pure life energy, resembling a golden-white fire elemental. In this form, you gain the elemental subtype and give off a warm, welcoming light that increases the light level within 10 feet by one step, up to normal light. Any undead creature striking you with its body or a handheld weapon deals normal damage, but at the same time the attacker takes 1d6 points of positive energy damage + 1 point per oracle level. Creatures wielding melee weapons with reach are not subject to this damage if they attack you. If you grapple or attack an undead creature using unarmed strikes or natural weapons, you may deal this damage in place of the normal damage for the attack. Once per round, if you pass through a living allied creature's square or the ally passes through your square, it heals 1d6 hit points + 1 per oracle level. You may use this ability to heal yourself as a move action. You choose whether or not to heal a creature when it passes through your space. You may return to your normal form as a free action. You may remain in energy body form for a number of rounds per day equal to your oracle level.

Fervor blessing: Increase its speed by 30 feet. Blessing of Fervor round 3/8
Arin's little form begins to glow with a shimmery white outline. If you focus on it you think you see an iridescent pattern flowing through it. Slowly his body within glows brighter and brighter until it's indistinguishable from the overall glow, and you start to see golden flames lick from within.
Soon only a warm, golden-white fire elemental is left. However, instead of burning to the touch, it heals.
His form lands on Fahd and the positive energy soothes him while hopefully harming the haunt.
I think the haunt has to strike Arin to get the damage :/
Energy body healing to Fahd:1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
The haunt suffuses the entire ruin; in order to destroy the haunt, you would have to draw the entire haunting presence into a vulnerable form. Furthermore, ghostly undead are often held to the world by unfinished business, and completing that business can end their haunting; since Isirah was driven by the need to survive, directly confronting the shade with Isirah’s existence and persuasive words could help her soul find its final rest.

Shrec can't roll high enough for either check, but upon hearing that voice. Ah, really, fighters can't deal with that, they don't have the means. I should have trained as a Cleric.

Minata, Arin has a *lot* of healing; you could save your wand charges.
The little gnome seems to fall out of his warm fire elemental form and looks around the room. The party looks awfully beat up so he gets to work, starting with finishing up Fahd.
He then listens to Rone explain the situation, and then looks at the device they'd been carrying, with the consciousness trapped inside and asks So, how do we draw her out into that form?
Arin (-4 HP)
Shrec (-1 HP)
Minata (-3 HP) - do you want to use the first charge from your wand to heal the last damage?
The voice of Isarah - at least, the one you are carrying - speaks up. "I remember... this is the Aerotech Synthesis Compound. Once, it created rare gases for technological operations. Now... now I don't know. But if the whole compound is affected, we will probably have to search more to find... the other me?"
I think the Life Bubble spell should still be active. It was 4 hours each when I cast it right before we entered this place. How long do you think we have on it?
"Shall we?", Rone says as he moves to the door to the east.
There is a very short passageway from the exit to the next door, which leads to a long hallway with a door to the north and a metal lattice in the northwest.
"Traps? Stars,no! Why would we trap a place where we worked? If there are any, they were installed after my... mishap."
And indeed, you do not notice any traps. However, the metal lattice prevents access to part of the corridor. Beyond, a large cylindrical device whirs faintly, drawing in air.

”Ask the voice in the box if there is a way through this that we can’t see.”
"I can hear you just fine, you know," Isirah answers. "This is an air recycler. Don't know why you'd want to go there, unless you want to repair it - it is running below capacity."

Place of work. No traps. Got it. However, you know better than us where danger is here. Do let us know about that. Okay, so we don't need to repair the "air machine." Let's go this way.
Arin carries the voice in the box forward and heads West towards where the corridor turns South. He stops at that corner and looks.
Arin, I think I was not clear enough about the corridor. The two strips of light gray on the map are barriers that prevent passage through the corridor by anything your size. Also, I need your boon roll.
