If you positioned connector C correctly, you should get LoS to both connector C and the red receiver. With connector B in hand, continue through the puzzle until you come to another hallway with a receiver. You should now be able to pick up connector B without shutting down the gate. Staying as close to the open energy gate as possible, target the receiver and connector A through the window.

When you have an opening, go into the small room and pick up connector C and leave again. If done correctly, you should have a few second window to enter the gate before a beam blocker stops the transmission. Connect it to connector A and the receiver for the energy gate. Down the beam blocker hallway, take a left to pick up connector B. Target the transmitter and place the connector such that it lines up with the right-hand wall, while also having a good LoS through the narrow window and energy gate beyond. The sheer volume of text employed to argue philosophical points is impressive.When you come to the first connector (A), pick it up and bring it close to the right-hand wall of the beam blocker hallway. Still, there are options to appease or ignore the program altogether, which presumably lead down different narrative paths. It seems to have a clever retort to just about everything and the player does not get to really “fight back” until near the end. In the same way that a difficult puzzle would stump me for several minutes at a time, I would often carefully consider each question it would pose, and play out how it would react to each of the given responses. In truth, navigating the dialogue trees of discussion with the Milton Library Assistant can become exhausting after a while. It asks fundamental questions about consciousness, morality, purpose, and the like, and even when it seems like the answer is obvious, it will provide a counter example that brings new perspective to the discussion. Interacting with the Milton Library Assistant is easily the most interesting non-puzzle activity in The Talos Principle. Finally, there are QR codes painted on the walls of the puzzle rooms themselves, put there by entities who have passed through previously. Scattered about, there are audio recordings from a woman whose importance to the story becomes more apparent over time. The Milton Library Assistant is a program created to catalog all of that data, but it ends up with its own thoughts and ideas. Not long after, the player finds computer terminals, which contain catalogs of old emails, websites, and other text that gives clues to the world’s history. Immediately upon waking, the player is greeted by an almighty voice in the sky calling himself Elohim, who gives commands and promises eternal life. The unique thing about The Talos Principle‘s story is that it is delivered through about a half dozen different avenues.

In short, the story is about existing as an artificial intelligence in a strange, computer-generated world. Part of the reason I am so intent on seeing all there is to see is that the narrative is thought-provoking, but I feel like I am still missing some pieces of it.
