    Head up the stairs again, go to the control room, and activate the second lift. You will board it automatically.

  18. 18
    Continue killing enemies until a piece of the upper level breaks off, creating a ramp.

    Ascend the ramp, go left to a door, and proceed through it.

    Take the Silverback right, through the gate, and along the deck.
