Puzzle elements

Overview

When you enter the puzzle, you find yourself in a large open area with a connector in it. There is a horizontal cylindrical structure in front of you, deep within which a red emitter can be seen. Much further back, there is a blue emitter. On the right side, there is a purple barrier that leads to a U-shaped corridor with lots of open windows. A connector is available here. One end of this corridor has a blue receiver that controls access to a small room with an accumulator in it.

Back outside, near the blue emitter on the back, there is also a red receiver, that leads to a room with another red receiver that leads to the progress wheel.
