Power cables

Power cables are Space Pirate cables that transmit electrical power to various systems on the Pirate Homeworld. Two versions are seen in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, in the Command Courtyard of Pirate Command, and the Scrapvault of Pirate Research. They both shimmer a generally orange color.

In the Command Courtyard, the cables are thin and long. Powered by Energy Cell 6, they are connected to a trio of ventilation fans that are blocking access to Flux Control. Samus must carefully evade the Acid Rain in the room and reach the cell, then remove it to power down the cables, and stop the fans.

In the Scrapvault, the cables are thicker and run from the exit access doors to a control station higher up in the room. Samus is required to repair a circuit board in the control station, and then interface with a Pirate X-Ray Pad to open the access doors.
