Portal Terminal: Difference between revisions

The room houses a [[Portal|Portal Generator]] and acts as a gateway between the two dimensions. There are three [[Industrial Solar Lens|industrial lenses]] suspended along the center of the chamber that concentrate solar power into a [[Portal Dynamo]] at the western end of the room.<ref>{{cite|Structural analysis complete.

Both doors to connecting rooms are found on the west side of the room. The door to Portal Access A is immediately accessible. The door to the Transport Center, however, is behind a large door that can only be lowered using a nearby Bomb Slot.<ref>{{cite|Object scan complete. Door control governed by Bomb Slot.

A [[Luminoth Lore Projector]] containing the [[Luminoth Lore|Lore]] entry "Light of Aether" can be [[Scan Visor|scanned]] behind a sand flow beside the ramp leading to the Portal Generator.
