MoM portals...I feel like an idiot

I have two questions about the portals in MoM Trial:

1) When we are in the "safe" room, I see the portals pop up, but how exactly am I supposed to enter? I have managed to do it, but I can't tell how. I stand by it, nothing happens. I jump into it, and all I manage to do is jump past it. How are the portals supposed to work?

2) Twice I have been on a team where in one phase, I was supposed to protect the female (sorry, I can't do names, I am confused by who is who). Both times they said, "you will see the portal". The first time I never did see the portal and never went in. Last night I saw the portal once we entered (glowie circle), but I don't think I ever entered--if I did enter, it looked like the same room. What am I doing wrong?

Yes, I am apparently the games biggest idiot. No need to tell me.

Just stand near it and you will go into it.

It is the same room, just with Aurora in the middle and Mother Mayhems attacking her.

Thanks for the help, but it LOOKS like the same room or it IS the same room...sorry I am pretty sure I know what you mean, but I want to be sure.

It seems to me that the room uses the same phasing tech that is used in Atlas. I've stood at the portal and watched as my league faded away, my teammates on the team list turns grey (same as in AP when you cross the phasing boundry) and Aurora appears in the center surrounded by Mother Mayhems.

edit: Next time I'm on one, I'm going to check with /loc to see if it's the same or a different room.

To answer question 1, there seems to be a slight lag time between entering the portal in the safe room and zoning into the next phase. You can sometimes see the same effect on Oranbega maps with portals in them, although it's much less pronounced.
