*It's possible to save Thom (the crewman who runs the diagnostics tests) from being killed by the malfunctioning door down the hall, just after exiting the first room. It requires the player to stand in front of the door and absorb the damage. If Thom survives, his character model will freeze. | |||
*There is a glitch which allows the player to get back into the cryo chamber. The player must jump inside the tube and crouch before the cover closes. Once inside, the player will be able to see [[Headless Master Chief|an apparently decapitated copy of the Master Chief]], but once the cover closes, the player will be trapped inside and must load the last checkpoint or restart the level. | *There is a glitch which allows the player to get back into the cryo chamber.

*It's possible to stand outside of the energy shield test station while the test is running. Just move carefully into the square and when it starts, the machine will push the player out, freezing the player in place until the process is done. | *It's possible to stand outside of the energy shield test station while the test is running.
