The player encounters a locked bulkhead with a nearby disabled wall switch. To continue, they must clean off the wall switch before using it to open the bulkhead. As they clean off the switch, it makes a distinct sound once enabled.
## mechanics
- [[mechanisms]]
## dynamics
- When the player cleans off the switch, it becomes enabled, with an obvious visual & audible state change.
- When the player activates the switch, it opens the bulkhead.
## aesthetics
- Learning: that there are mechanisms which become usable once de-grunked.
- Associate the intended colors and sounds with mechanism status.
- Learning: that doors take a long time to open!
- Grunk makes things stop working.
- Corollary: removing grunk can fix broken things
- This world is old and broken down.
