How do I get out of the reactor area that the final Level B port took me to?
1 of 9: After taking Port 7 in the portion of the reactor core on Level B, you should have been teleported to a remote area of the reactor core.
2 of 9: Two sets of platforms rotate in the opposite direction of each other and a circular platform moves up and down.
3 of 9: The reactor in the center has two ports into the final portal. Both are closed off by metal shields.
4 of 9: You need to open the shields to get at the portal.
5 of 9: There are two buttons on opposite sides of the room from the ports.
6 of 9: For each button, move over to it and press it to open that section of shielding. Be sure to activate both buttons.
7 of 9: The best way to get around in this room is to ignore the circling platforms and jump straight to and from the big up-and-down ring. It never lowers into the sludge, but you do have to watch out that you don't get squashed when it rises to its highest position.
8 of 9: Either port will get you where you need to go. Ironically, it takes you back to the very top level of the Level B Core room.
9 of 9: Do not step into the nearby portal as it will just take you back to the beginning of this whole teleporter mess. Walk out the door instead and climb the nearby ladder up to Level A.
