I was in the Veran lab and stayed too long at which point the door closed and I became trapped. Before killing myself I decided to take some time to look around. During that time, a fezard hybrid tracked me into the lab and attacked me, leaving the door open for me to exit.

Happy that I lucked out, but it seems like this probably shouldn't be possible given a fezard hybrid isn't holding and using the item that opens that door.
