    A blue tripwire security system is ahead. Options to bypass: a 60% Str Control Panel (requires Multitools), explosives, Spy Drone, careful jumping, or Speed Enhancement level three or beyond. Triggering the trap will close the door to 'Hazard', requiring a reset to reopen.
  32. 32
    You have three options: break a 90% Str lock to Maintenance Access, open the radiation room door, or open the grate of the crawling space. Choose the crawling space, which opens above the flooded generator room. Dive in.
  33. 33
    In the flooded generator room: a crate with a MEDKIT in the Southwest corner and a crate with a LAW in the Northeast. Two bodies are floating here. The one beneath yellow pipes holds two BIOELECTRIC CELLS. Below this body, in a transformer, find TECH GOGGLES. The other body has no items.
