Special platforms that amplify the use of kinesis and stasis are scattered throughout the machine and are particularly situated before doors that require the decryption of the modified language used by the aliens to bar or allow entrance to certain areas. The "promenade" in particular is an area surrounded by an arch; situated before large doors and monoliths that require the manipulation to successfully activate the kinesis boost that will launch the traveler across great distances in a short amount of time. Opening all pathways allows easier access to the machine.
