- 3On level B3, find a Neuromod, 34 GLOO CANISTERS, and a MEDKIT.

- 10Clear the Cyst Nests in the central reactor area. Open the door with the button. Be prepared for potential radiation damage.
- 11Note: A maintenance access panel on the floor near the Fabricator opens a large area underneath the reactor where arming keys are placed. This is for future reference.
- 12Retrieve the 'Divertor' you threw down earlier and place it in the middle of the area.

- 17Replace the broken Divertor with the one you brought.
- 18Return to the 'Reactor Control Room' and initiate the reboot sequence by turning off the systems in the correct order.
- 19After the reboot stalls, go back to the reactor room, remove the broken Divertor, and replace it with the functional one.
