How do I pick up this sniper rifle extended barrel?

Question

I'm near the beginning of Mass Effect 3, and I noticed a Sniper Rifle Extended Barrel just outside of this barrier inside of the

Mars Archives.

I can walk very close to it, but the "pick up" action never becomes active. How do I grab it?

Answer

Basically, you can't do anything through the orange veil. (I think it's some sort of decontamination field?)

Fortunately, there are controls in the previous room that you can use to adjust where the orange veil falls within the room.

Simply activate the controls on either side of the door until the orange veil is on the far side of the sniper rifle mod, then activate them again to stop them. Go into the room, pick up the item, and voila!

You may need to move the veils again if you want to get out of the room, however.
