The first few objectives are to get most of the equipment out into the open, including the driller (which is already here), the connector, and the hexahedron

• 
  Take the Driller. Walk on top of the Pressure Plate to open the door. Drill the wall inside the cell around where the Hexahedron is and place it down on the Pressure Plate.
• 
  Take the Hexahedron out of its cell.
• 
  Take the Driller, and use the same technique as step 1 to drill the wall in the second cell.
• 
  Place the Hexahedron next to the fence inside the second cell.
• 
  Jump over the fence, and use the Jammer to jam the door through the Driller hole.
• 
  Take the Connector, and link the blue Emitter through the hole to the blue Receiver by the Progress Wheel.
