Clearly the turret leaves no openings.
So, I'm pretty close to the end of System Shock 2. Although I'm not enjoying myself as much as I was earlier in the game, it's still pretty fun.
And then this happens.
I had been hacking every turret I could, because I never know when I'll need one, plus I value ammo more than nanites. I thought I could just hack this one, shoot the egg, and be on my way. However, when I shoot the egg, nothing happens. It takes me a second to realize that rather than the egg's health, the turret's health has gone down. And no matter what angle I tried to shoot from, it kept happening. Even though the turret is taking up so little space, its hitbox filled the hallway. The game forced me to destroy this turret for no clear logical reason.
