In this small puzzle room, the Progress Wheel is blocked off by a set of two Blue doors, each one controlled by a Receiver. Two Emitters are placed on the far wall, but a grate limits the availability of the red one.

Hints

A basic hint:

[ hint ]

Notice that the space between the two Blue doors has a window. You will need to open the red door while closing the blue door from inside this space; a recurring theme in Into the Abyss.

Solution

[ solution ]

• 
  Take a Connector and link the blue Emitter to its Receiver.
• 
  Take the other Connector bring it in between the doors, and connect it to both Emitters through the window, as well as the blue Receiver through the open door.
• 
  Take the first Connector again and link the red Emitter to the red Receiver. The blue beam from the other Connector to the red Emitter intercepts the red beam, preventing the first door from closing, hence the title of the puzzle.
• 
  Walk in between the Blue doors and disconnect the Connector to finish the puzzle.
