  • 1 of 5: After grabbing your HEV Suit, you need to get back to where the security guard would not let pass until you were properly equipped.
  • 2 of 5: Now he will let you through.
  • 3 of 5: You will find that the path to the experimentation chamber is pretty straightforward.
  • 4 of 5: You will need to use elevators for the first time. Basically, just look for buttons nearby and use the Use key (default is E) on them to get things started.
