Daneel had to re-read the line 3 times to make sure he wasn't seeing things, but by the time he was ready to form any thoughts about it, he heard the maintenance man walk towards the door.
If he left, Daneel would be trapped in here indefinitely, as the core formation would 'lock up' the room.
So, quickly putting the book back and taking one last glance at the items from Lanthanor, Daneel quietly made his way back to the door and exited along with the maintenance man.
After that, he went back in the same way: making the formation think that he was an insect.
It was only after he finally got back to his dormitory did Daneel sit down and revisit the revelation he had just been subjected to.
His fingers forming a tent, he placed them below his chin to prop his head up before closing his eyes.
The Empire Spirit…was not a sentience, as had been indicated by the system when he had first come in contact with it.
