    Go to the room across from the audio equipment and use the device with two reels to open a door to the right, granting access to an Atomic Health pickup (SECRET 3).

    The right cell holds Pipebombs and a Large Medikit. The left cell contains Devastator Ammo.

    Across from the top of the first Blue Key door you opened, there is another Blue Key door. Enter this room to face an Enforcer and a Pig Cop.

    Collect the Large Medikit on the counter to your left and the pistol near the photocopier.

    You will find a Red Key door in this area.
