[Varian doesn't have any tools on him, which is going to make this a little more difficult...but with Orpheus helping him, he's able to reach the smoke detector. He has to squint against the sprinklers still dousing him as he feels around for any sort of way to get it open, and...ahah. Seems like there's a latch to pull off the cover. To save both Orpheus and Varian's eardrums, let's assume the screws aren't as tight as they could be...and with some (a lot) of difficult wiggling and twisting, Varian is able to get enough screws out to reach the battery, which he immediately recognizes as a power source even if he's not familiar with modern batteries.
Once it's been pulled out, the loud blaring stops. ...not that the sprinklers aren't still going, but.]
