Watch out for the White EMMI as you are filling up the pool with water.

After sliding down the narrow path, you should find the hidden path to the Charge Beam below the door to the frozen room.

Find and Destroy the Central Unit

After activating the switch, you can return to the Network Station and enter the EMMI Zone. After both obtaining the Charge Beam and activating the switch, you can now head further south of the EMMI Zone and acess the Central Unit room.
