Comment (by segrax):

 I think this can be closed,

 If Dr. Fred hasn't turned the power off, its not possible to open the
 inner door to the lab as you can't get the pin from the Meteor Mess game
 (the attached savegame has the Inner Door open) - This is important
 because The Inner Door is one of two ways which the power on/off script
 can be stopped.


 V0 Script Analysis:

 script-137 (Cutscene: Dr. Fred / Nurse Edna #1) is the cutscene mentioned
 above, at its completion, it starts script-138 (Cutscene: Dr. Fred Play
 Meteor Mess Trigger)

 script-138 delays for 4 minutes, then turns off the power, delaying again
 for 5 minutes before turning it back on, and starting script-96 (Cutscene:
 Dr Fred Play Meteor Mess)


 while script-138 is sleeping, the following actions can stop it

 1. Turning off the Circuit breaker will stop script-138
 2. WALK-TO roomobj-4-130 (Lab Inner Door - basement side) while the door
 is open, will stop script-138


 However:
 if script-138 is running and has turned the power off, its not possible to
 Turn Off the power (the script will do nothing).

 Its also not possible to open the inner door, if Dr. Fred hasn't played
 the Meteor Mess game (as you don't have the pin)


 From the circuit breaker script:

 {{{
 [0044] (EF) if (!getState08(activeObject)) {    // If Power On
 [0047] (62)   stopScript(138);                  //  stop Cutscene: Dr.
 Fred Play Meteor Mess Trigger
 [0049] (D7)   setState08();                     //  Power Off
 [004A] (1C)   startSound(12);                   //  sound Light Switch
 [004C] (42)   startScript(50);                  //  start Room Lights:
 Check for flashlight / room light status
 [004E] (42)   startScript(6);                   //  start Game: Meltdown
 Timer
 [0050] (62)   stopScript(138);                  //  stop Cutscene: Dr.
 Fred Play Meteor Mess Trigger
 }}}
