If you're talking about taking the expedition mission from Sacky, then yes, basically the door is shut (you can get fancy with a Gauss Rifle if you know how to get one - but it's a waste, as there's nothing of note in the 'brain room')

Which is why I mention the Out bug up on the surface... I never tried collecting it again, as I got sick of the undebugged nature of the mission. But you could try it. OTOH, the required 'relic' might be the highly upgraded SSP-100M that you are wandering around in, or the other copy that you gave to Nimble.
