On this page of SOMA Guide you'll find a walkthrough for Omicron Exterior location.
Restore Power
You will again be on the ocean's floor. When you regain control over your character, perform a Data Buffer on the corpse lying right next to you. Afterwards, just like with any previous oceanic level, go straight ahead, along the route.
You will soon arrive at the Omicron station entrance - which, as you've probably guessed by now, is locked, because it has no power. Right next to the gate you will find corpse, on which you can perform another Data Buffer. Look up and locate the power lines - follow them, until you reach another building.
Climb up the ladder, where a socket for the Omnitool awaits, which... doesn't work. You will have to restore the power manually. Locate a small lid, to the right from the ladder - just above it there's a sign "Manual Override". Tear it off, and then do the following:
- Press the red button in the "Manual Override" box
- Turn the two valves located to the right of the box
- Flip the level located to the right of the valves
- Flip the level located in the "Manual Override" box
Wait for a short while and then climb up the ladder. Place your Omnitool in the socket by the computer, to summon Catherine. Use the time she is speaking to look around the area. First things first, perform a Data Buffer on the corpse next to the computer. Right next to it there's a growth to regenerate health. Climb up the ladder, where you will find another collectible, a note.
Get back to the level on which you've left the Omnitool and approach the fuse box, to the left of the computer. You must lead the power from the upper left corner of the box to the lower right corner. To do so, you will have to use the appropriate number of switches - when you use too many of them, the system will reboot.
To make things simpler, the above screenshot shows the switches with number ranging from 1 to 16. To solve the puzzle, you have to switch: 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 13, 14, 15 and 16 switch. When you do so, the power will be restored.
When the power is restored, a number of things will be unlocked as well. The first one is the terminal located to the right of the Omnitool socket. You can listen to a series of audio files here, as well as check photographs of station Omicron. When you're done, turn around and approach the second terminal.
When you interact with it, look at the last option - "UbVZrmsP". Click on it, and then note the code that appeared on the screen numerous times - 1050. You will use it in just a second - leave the terminal and go back to the one with audio files.
Select the "Omicron" option, and then click on the "Quarantined" writing. Put in the 1050 code you've just recovered and then accept it by pressing OK. The quarantine will be lifted, which means that the huge door to Omicron will be unlocked.
Take the Omnitool, climb down the ladder to the lower level and use the tool to open up the hatch. Get down on the ground, activate Data Buffer on the corpse, located near the ladder and then head towards the gate to station Omicron. Press the button located to the right of the entrance, and then get inside. There you will find a map, lying on the furniture.
Use the Omnitool to activate the terminal. Machines, as always, will malfunction. Open the gate again and leave the room - now go along the left side, until you get to the lower level and you reach a metal footbridge. Approach it, turn left, and then continue straight ahead. On the left side there will be a ladder, through which you will be able to get to the rear entrance of the Omicron station. Open the door and use the Omnitool to drain the water.
