Have you perhaps "investigated" an area of the tube near Jonas?

The game will not let me pick up the broken one or remove one from the wall. Hints appreciated on this one. I already have the Cola, so once I can get that light bar, I'll be able to take a few leaps forward.

You've got to stay low and find out what Kepler's up to. Hopefully you'll be able to stop him. You feel relieved to have Kevin Johnson on your side, at least. You are at the end of a section of the OSM Tube, which heads north from here. To the west there is a maintenance door exit. To the south, there is a closed door. You don't hear anything but can't get the memory of the beetles out of your mind. You suppose many of them are still in there.

I'm now trying to get time to pass so the gentleman can assist me (I know he's supposed to give me things to move me forward) and get Kepler out of his office so I can get into the maintenance door in his office.
