Startlingly, Natasha's idea works.

Well, that isn't the startling part. Natasha is very rarely wrong, you've found, which is why you appreciate it so much when you have the opportunity to work with her in the field. The startling part is that Tony, who is kind of a bumbling idiot sometimes, and Steve, who means well but has always been more of a fighter than a man of subtlety, manage to make her idea work.

You find the control room without much difficulty (Natasha takes care of the guards to either side of the door without so much as a sound, and Tony mutters something about 'Vulcan nerve pinches') and Steve covers Tony while he taps in commands on the central computer. Natasha prowls the room looking for anything that might provide additional intelligence, and you stay in the far corner to provide cover fire if necessary.
