Deck Alpha Umbilical Hall is a room on the Frigate Orpheon in Metroid Prime. It is a circular metal tunnel whose only contents are a Space Pirate corpse and blockage consisting of pieces of scrap metal. Presumably, the pirate had been killed from the blockage of scrap metal falling on top of it due to the scan stating that it died from excessive blunt force head trauma. This blockage can be cleared with a charged Power Beam shot to allow Samus through to the door at the other end.

Trivia[]
- The Deck Alpha Umbilical Hall is known internally as 02_intro_epod_connect.
- Oddly, the rubble can be destroyed in the GameCube version of Prime with a charged Ice Beam shot as well as both Super Missile and Ice Spreader (via hacking), but is completely immune to both the Wave Beam and Plasma Beam.
