BUG NOTE: It is crucial that Lara steps on the tile between the opening in the floor and the doorway overlooking the drill shaft (i.e., the tile outlined in the screenshot above). If she pulls up at the right edge of the opening instead, this will cause problems later when you return to the DRILL ROOM. For details, see these notes about the dropped drill bug.
