This is one of the most complex and open-ended levels in the entire game due to its non-linearity. A large variety of increasingly fast and dangerous strategies have been employed over the years.

The general principle of the current world record strategy is to activate the cleaning bot as early as humanly possible, then photograph the isotope, deactivate all three experiments and collect the first two experimental technologies at blistering speed before meeting the bot at the lasers - all while retaining enough energy to survive the suicidal Data Uplink section.

The following explains the ''second-fastest'' strategy for this level and needs altering to reflect the fastest strat. (The main difference is that activating the semi-secret floor hatch is skipped.)
