You're still here? I guess we have a puzzle to solve, then.
What do we have here?
The button you need to activate is on the other side of an emancipation grid.
A what?
Think of it like a barrier; if you try to take a cube through or have a portal open when you walk through it yourself, they'll be destroyed.
Hmm...
You can create a new portal when you walk through the grid. It will still connect to the orange one.
Where is the orange portal?
On top of a raised piston.
Can you get a cube up there?
Send a cube through a blue portal to get it in front of the orange one, then walk through the emancipation grid.
Create a blue portal in this room, then pull the cube through to put it onto the button. This will unlock the door that leads to the exit.
