Go into the security room and sabotage the fuse box. Climb through the window to the rigth and go to the computer to disable the security. Make your way back to the elevator the same way you got to the security room and then out of the Test Facility. In Decontamination follow the two researchers into the locker room. Go to the right side of the locker room and then go through the window into the security room ahead ignoring the guard that tries to arrest you.
