Do I think this holographic laser pattern is dangerous? I study the grid pattern. Remembering I an not a contortionist, can I see a way through it? Are there any controls on the contrl terminal by which I could shut it off or change the pattern?

You don't think it's as dangerous as that path Indiana Jones had to navigate in that "Golden Idol" experience you had on the holodeck a few months ago. But something tells you that the locked door at the other end won't open if you don't follow the right directions.

The terminal does not appear to have any sort of shutoff command, but there's a small "info" icon that you can press, which pops up a message, "Security Grid Alpha. Deactivation path mirrors standard maintenance access route for Plasma Conduit 7B".

Now you wonder how many paths there are to conduit 7B and whether mirrors means mirror or copy.... decisions, decisions.

I would go with copies. What is the shape of the grid pattern? (Or is it just a bunch of squares?)

The grid pattern is a bunch of squares. Kind of a tic-tac-toe grid. All the same size, not different squares like the Fibonacci galaxy poster you saw a short while ago.
