Borq has no idea but it looks like it's not safe to touch as you would get a rather nasty shock off it as well as an EMP that would affect your technological equipment.
The floor of B5 is crisscrossed with the brown tendrils of some native plant which has burst in through the base of the pitted walls.
Keskodia moves a little bit closer and tries ot disable it with mysticism
Telepathically
"Could be a magical trap, let me try."

"Trap? I'll be there in a second. "
Before following Keskodai, Raia observes the tendrils closely and tries to match what she sees to species she knows.
When her examination of the plants is done, Raia follows Keskodai toward the purple glow generator. She's impressed by his ability to disable the device without tools.
"Why make a trap that's so obvious? Oh. " An answer suggests itself immediately and she looks around for another trap that uses this one as bait.
Kesokdia examines the trap to see if it was meant to slow people down or if it's guarding or hiding something.
"I wonder if the trap was just meant ot slow people down, if it is hiding or guarding something right here?"

Even with everyone looking, there is nothing else here. It is not magical either.
But with the trap disabled, its light turns off, revealing both the duplicitous nature of the device and Rasheen’s stylized R insignia scratched into the glass. Without the light, it is also clear that the device looks so unusual because it was originally a cobbled-together piece of junk created by an engineer with more enthusiasm than technical skill and is now worth little more than scrap.
Raia also identifies those tendrils as belonging to a toxic creeper plant, an aggressive weed that most known species in the universe are highly allergic to. While the poison is contact-based, creeper vines are covered in ultra-thin barbs that penetrate most materials, meaning armor and environmental protections won’t guard against exposure if the PCs step on or touch the toxic creeper vines.

Satisfied she's identified the viny plants, Raia steps back to the south.
Passing Trouway she gestures to the northwest and telepathically says, "If you're thinking of wandering, don't go that way. "
Joining the others a few seconds later she warns everyone more completely,
"There's a poisonous vinelike plant among the ruins on the west side. It can penetrate armor. Keep alert for fine tendrils in this area.
I recommend that we move counter clockwise around the ruins in our exploration. Although it is possible that a widespread fire-based attack could eliminate the threat completely with little risk. "
"Since we are following the trail of past events, counterclockwise seems like a good choice to unwind time."
Keskodia moves to the entrance of B3 and looks in.

The clouded but still faintly transparent aluminum shards clinging to the edge of the outer wall here hint that it was once one huge window. The forces of nature encroached on this space long ago, with dirt and plant life spilling in from the outside.
Keskodia moves to area A4
"We already found a black box, perhaps this crate is a treasure box belonging to Rasheen?"
Keskodia pauses, thinking of options.
" Or it could be another trap."
More thinking, more options.
" Or it could belong to the bandits."
Another pause.
"Which means it could be trapped, but for different reasons."
Keskodia takes a 5-foot step back while drawing a shock grenade, then throws it at the North East corner of yellow, which should hit yellow, red, and green, but misses all of us.
