If you want to put this FAQ on your site, ask me FIRST. I'll 
probably let you, but I would like to know where people are putting 
it. After all, I wrote this. It's only right that I should know 
where it is, ne?

Now, on to the mini-FAQ:

After looking through all the other FAQs I could find, there wasn't 
one that explained how to get through the electric grid on Myria 
Station other than "run through it really fast and cure the 
poisoning you'll have afterward. Phooey on that! Puzzles are meant to 
be solved, and this one isn't really that hard. It just takes a little 
time (took me about 20 minutes to figure it all out).

The main thing to notice: you don't have to turn off the entire grid 
to get through. That's what made it take so long when I was trying to 
figure it out. Once I figured out I just had to make a *path* through 
it instead of turn everything off, it was easy. Just line up the 
charges on the three control panels to create a path at least two 
blocks wide.

If you want to try it yourself before spoiling your brain with the 
solution, here's a little spoiler space for you. The solution is below.

Here's how to get through the electric grid thingey:

---------

Legend:   + = red "+" on the screen
          - = blue "-" on the screen
          e = empty space on the screen

Room 1
------

 + + + + e e e e -
 e e e e + + + + +
 e e e e e e + + +
 e e + + + + + + +
 + + + + e e - - -
 e + + + + + e e e
 e e e e e + e e e


Room 2, right
-------------

 e e e e + + + + e
 e e e e - - - - e
 - - - - + + e e e
 - e e e - - - - e
 e e e e - - - e e
 - - - - - - e e e
 + e e e e e - - e


Room 2, left
------------

 e e e e - - - - +
 - - - - e e e e -
 e e e e - - e e e
 - e - + e e - e -
 + + + + + + e e e
 + e e e e e + + +
 - e e e e - - - -

Use the left and right direction buttons to move
them back and forth. This will create a path that
looks like this:

Legend:  + = charged, n = not charged

 + + + n n n n n n
 + + + n n n n n n
 + + + n n n + + +
 + + + n n n + + +
 + + + n n n + + +
 n n n n n n + + +
 n n n n n n + + +

Since there is no charge on the "n" path, you can
walk through unharmed, as long as you don't touch
any of the "+" parts.

There. Wasn't that easy? Once you go down the elevator the grid 
is turned off permanently.
