This view confuses you too, but then you recognize the hydraulic lift and realize that this must be the ONE WAY MIRROR in the ASSEMBLY room next door, poised to be installed in that half-finished laboratory. You never did figure out how to get that equipment turned on, but you suppose you still haven't revisited the CONTROL room.

You're tempted to use your super strength to bring that mirror in here and place it behind itself, making an endless hallway of mirrors. Maybe later.
