Processing Access

Processing Access is a room in Pirate Research on the Pirate Homeworld. It appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Description
The room is a fairly long corridor that twists and turns, with invisible laser beams in the way to detect Samus. However, she can see the beams by using her X-Ray Visor, and avoid them by rolling under them in Morph Ball. If not, one Pirate Commando will appear, and she has the option to kill him or run. A chamber in the middle has two Phazite panels and a Lore entry; the panels only come into use when Samus has the Nova Beam.

Connecting rooms

 * Scrapvault (via Orange Door)
 * Metroid Processing (via Blue Door)

Inhabitants

 * 1 Pirate Commando (if alarms are triggered)
 * 1 Phaazoid (after Pirate Seed has been destroyed)

Items

 * Ship Missile Expansion:Once Samus has the X-Ray Visor and Nova Beam, she can shoot two Phazite panels on the walls, which will open a hatch in the ceiling. Two Wall Jump Surfaces will then take Samus up to a ledge, where the expansion is encased in glass that will shrink with each hit to it by Ice Missiles.

Scans

 * Device:"Optical device appears to have been manually deactivated. Unit is permanently offline."


 * Device (2):"Optical device appears part of a security system that uses light too faint for standard visors to detect."


 * Phazite:"Phazite panel is covering a control switch. A high-frequency Beam could penetrate the panel."


 * First Disciples:"Our struggles have ended. She has shown us the error of our ways. The way is now clear. All previous vows of fealty have been forsworn: we now pledge sole allegiance to our liberator, the great one, Dark Samus. We bear a singular honor, we lucky few, for we are her first disciples. Our burden is a happy one, for we will pave the way to her glorious victory and cosmic rule. Let the light of Phazon lead us!"


 * Glass:"Layered energy shielding. An explosive blast should be sufficient to disrupt the shields."
