Turn West, examine door: You see a wooden door, opened towards you. What look like red laser beams criss-cross the doorway in a grid pattern, the light source appears to be top left, the beams are deflected by a series of small mirrors to a sensor situated bottom right. The room beyond the doorway is shrouded in darkness.

Use mirror deflect red beam: You use the pocket mirror to deflect the laser beam from source to target. Luckily, you used just the correct angle to avoid breaking the path of the beam. It is difficult to keep the mirror steady. The doorway is now zigzagged with 3 red beams.Comment
