Another Dead End in Blast Pit ...
My post will be without pictures tonight, I have several, but blogger is not being cooperative, so I'll try to be as descriptive as I can.
When I left off I was still in Blast Pit. I had somehow made it past the Green Monster without killing it. I had made it to the bottom of the big room and through a few collapsing bridges. I made it past another room or two that had pools of the radioactive ooze. I was on a lift that was unsteady, jumped across to a ladder and went to the bottom.
Basically now I've climbed a few ladders in a similar type room that the monster was in. There are some fast moving platforms that keep going from one side of the room to the other. At the top of the room is a suspended platform that sort of looks like a spaceship. There is a scientist stuck at the top and on either side is a red button that launches some long metal arms that come towards the tower, there is also lightning/lasers that shoot out from it.
Now what this has to do with anything, I'm not sure. I don't know how to get down or if I'm supposed to get back and kill the monster. Frankly I'm a little frustrated and don't know where to go next.
Any assistance or suggestions will be appreciated.

what you have just done is turned on the "power". you need to turn on two more things. Keep an eye out for the pipes that run down the corridors, they will give hints on where to go next.
What Sam said.
If you want a clearer idea of what you are trying to accomplish, go back to the control room where the scientist got killed, and take a look at the console. That should give you some idea. Also, take a good look at the room the creature is in. That's a clue too (hint...look up).
BTW, in the main creature room, I believe there are several doorway you can go through. You'll need to explore them all to complete your tasks.
I'll just say that this is probably one of the harder parts of the game to figure out from what I remember, so hang in there! I've really been enjoying reading this non-gamer's POV so far -- here's to you making it to the end!
this one just takes time; it all revolves around the blast pit itself.
There's a great gaming rule of thumb that dates all the way back to the original King's Quest adventure games, but is even still relevant today:
1) Pick up anything that isn't nailed down.
2) If it is nailed down, look for loose boards.
(Half-life related paraphrase: If you find a button, push it!)
