LEON pulls the cart toward the Relay Room, but a sudden relay failure plunges the Core into darkness, causing the cart's magnetic wheels to lock and the QUOMIRE mass to pulse, which disengages the cart's brakes just as LEON releases the handle, leaving the cart rolling uncontrolled toward the open door.

LEON kicks the cart's rear wheels free from the threshold's lip, but the QUOMIRE mass's pulse causes the Core door to slam shut, trapping the cart and LEON on the opposite side of the newly closed heavy access door.

LEON places the solid QUOMIRE mass on a magnetic service cart to suppress its hum, but the mass’s static charge magnetizes the cart’s wheels, locking it against the Upper Access wall and forcing LEON to manually crank a manual release lever to free the path toward the surface exit.
