As soon as Natalya stops at the computer, but before taking the very last step, a timer is started. The game waits 60 frames and then starts playing an animation. After this, it enters a loop where it simply waits for her current animation to end. Once this is true, the text "Natalya: The blast doors have been locked by the security computer" is displayed on screen.

Now a bigger loop is entered, where the game starts playing random animations. Before selecting an animation though, the game first checks to see if the timer has reached a value greater than 900 frames (15 seconds). If so, it displays the text "Natalya: Got one open! Head for the control room, James, I'll do what i can from here." on screen. It also sets a flag which causes another script to open the door, as well as preventing the "Has timer reached 900 frames" check in future iterations of the loop.
