This room is empty except for a few dozen machine parts scattered on the floor. It looks like they should fit together, but you can't see how. Annoyed, you kick one of the pieces, which flies across the room and knocks open a wall panel, out of which tumbles a tattered instruction manual. On the double, you dash over and flip through it, but it has only text, not diagrams. This leaves you feeling, uh, cross and down.
