 * 28) Someone in the Lower section runs out of the prism room (hit the lever on top of the grates if the door is closed) and on through the SOUTH exit of the room.
 * 29) The person in the lower section hits the lever at the end of this passage and then runs back to the prism room (or through the portal).
