Read the journals and notes on the table
The D'ni text under the model is "doyha irvaenteegahl", which approximately translates as: "a machine that is working on minerals".
The left room has a machine; use the red button to switch videos and watch the 3 videos.
The right room has linking books to 3 different parts of Adrael:
  The one book links to a red dessert.
    There is a book back to the DRA Office, otherwise just explore.
  The one book links to a green-floored lab.
    There is a book back to the DRA Office, otherwise just explore.
    (You can see that you're in a city when you look through the glass roof in the other room.)
  The other book links to a dark cave.
    Read the two notes on the easel.
    There is something like a Nexus station with a book back to the DRA Office.
    There is a puzzle with 6 buttons here, but two of the colours have fallen off.
      (Hint: remember the video of the ghost in DRA Office?)
      (Hint: note the colour of the ghosts eyes: Y,R,R&B,R&Y,B,B&Y)
      (Hint: mix the colours from the pairs to get: Y,R,P,O,B,G)
      (Hint: the blue button is the bottom one.)
      Press the buttons in that order to open the latch.
    Pull the level which has been revealed to open the door.
    (The D'ni text on the machine reads "aeh lorgm", "kh'dhprmaeh", and "paedhhs", which might be something like "Water flowing around the city as a defeat".)
    Enter the building and pull the lever there & the door will open when you approach.
    There is another puzzle here:
      (Hint: the gauge is pointing at the orange part.)
      (Hint: each of the star symbols on the wall seem to favour a colour for squares, and has a coloured hexagon in the center.)
      (Hint: the one with the orange hexagon in the center has blue squares.)
      (Solution: on the machine, select the orange hexagon, the blue square, and the left pentagon. Click the grey bar.)
      If you solved the puzzle, you should hear machinery working.
    The elevator to the left of the machine outside should now be working.  Wait for it and hop aboard!
      There is another station here, and you can click the left part to "bookmark" this location.
        (The book in DRA Office now has a bookmark you can use to get back here.)
      Follow the cave and ladder down.
      You may go down one of the passages at a time, by pulling its lever:
        Middle path: 2nd station
        Right path: 3rd station
          There are 2 ladders you can take up:
            The left one goes to a non-working lever, and an office with drawers you can look in. (There is also a ladder on the other side of the lever.)
            The right one leads to a non-working lever, and a closed door.
        Left path: 4th station (having the full symbol), and a closed door.
      Note that the middle path's door seems to have a ladder on the other side...
      Solution: get the bookmark in the middle path, then open one of the other paths to close the middle door, then head to DRA Office, then use the bookmark in the Adrael book to get behind the door.
        Follow the ladder and the path until you reach the water silo.
        The lever beside the closed door will open it, and we see that this was the closed door from the "Right path" we visited earlier.
        Go and pull the big lever in the water silo room, whose picture indicates it will release a lever.
        Go back into the room with the 2 ladders and pipes, and you can now use the levers, though one of them won't budge.
        Head back to the water silo, where you can see that the water has drained out, and thus you can now climb down.
        Push the big pole arm to open the door, and we see that this was the closed door from the "Left path" we visited earlier.
        Go back to the lever that drained the water, and pull it again to turn the water back on.
        Now the water flows through the door we opened, and we can see if from inside the office, as well as through the streambed outside.
        Heading back to the room with the ladders and pipes, we see a vortex behind a triangular gate, with a grey symbol on it.
        That symbol can also be seen in the office, so head back there!
        Click the symbol (which is on the painting), and the circle part of it will glow, then another symbol will appear on the painting.
        Click the symbol on the stone on the painting, and the leaf part of it will glow.
        (If we now look at the triangular gate, we see that those parts of it are now coloured.
        Head outside to the rock from the picture, and now the symbol is on it as well.  Click it and the sides of the symbol will glow.
        Go back to the triangular gate, and now all parts glow, and it can be opened!
          Read the note inside.
          Follow the path, listen to Irena, and then read the journal!
