Changes: Energy Transfer Module

Revision as of 21:40, 12 July 2011

“	Before you arrived, the Ing had stolen a device from us... one that collects planetary energy. With it, they have weakened our planet to the verge of collapse. But Fortune smiled upon us this day, for the Energy Transfer Module... is now bonded to you. With it you can help us...help us restore our world.	„
—U-Mos

The Energy Transfer Module is an upgrade in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is used by Samus Aran to transfer planetary energy from Dark Aether to Aether. It was used to retrieve the Light of Aether from Dark Aether, the latter which was destroyed when the planetary energy was removed.

Samus must defeat the Dark Alpha Splinter in order to obtain the item. The upgrade appears as a glowing ball of blue-white energy that floats in the center of the Temple Sanctuary. When Samus reaches out to pick up this upgrade, it darts around the room before entering her suit, and is not recognized by her systems. U-Mos explains what it is and states that the Ing had taken the Module before she arrived and taken most of Aether's energy, implying that they were positioned in the Great Temple to complete their take-over when she stepped in. This item also rendered Samus immune to any form of Ing-possession for the entire duration of her mission on Aether, as the Energy Transfer Module's core produced constant light energy within her, thus repelling any Ing who attempted to possess Samus.

Inventory data

The Energy Transfer Module allows you to siphon power from Energy Controllers.

Samus's Notes: The Energy Transfer module has a power core fueled by light energy. The presence of this energy protects the user from Ing possession. Once you have siphoned all power from an Energy Controller on Dark Aether, you must return it to an Energy Controller on Aether.

Trivia

Energy Transfer Module EoA — *Metroid Prime: Episode of Aether*

The sound that plays after the Energy Transfer Module is bonded to Samus differs between the GCN and Wii versions of the game.
When Warrior Ing transform into their gaseous form and throw themselves at Samus in an attempt to possess her, they will be unable to enter through the crevices of her suit and simply remain on its surface in a liquid form. However, Samus will be getting constant damage for the duration of the time her suit is covered in the black ooze. Moments later, it will remove itself from her.
When Samus acquires the Energy Transfer Module, it does not immediately appear in her inventory. It only appears after U-Mos talks to Samus. This may be because Samus' suit did not recognize this alien technology, and that after U-Mos explained what the Energy Transfer Module was capable of doing, it was updated into Samus' inventory.
Initially, it is refered to as an Unknown Item by Samus' suit similar to some ancient upgrades found in Metroid: Zero Mission.
After taking planetary energy from Dark Aether, the area will take on an orange/crimson hue. This is most noticeable in Dark Agon Wastes.
Additionally, after taking an area's energy, it has been noted that the amount of Ing will increase drastically, and they will become much more aggressive. This is likely an effort by the Ing to stop Samus from transfering the energy to Light Aether.
