Operations Deck

The Operations Deck is a collection of rooms that includes a Recharge Station, Save Station, Navigation Room, Data Room, and the Operations Room, and is a subarea of the Main Deck on the Biologic Space Laboratories research station. The main room of the Operations Deck is where Samus finally confronts one of the SA-X. It is also the first area where Samus uses a Data Room to download Missile data, increasing her chances of survival from 10% to 20% according to the computerized Commander Adam Malkovich. This area also provides an alternate route to the Arachnus through a ventilation shaft, which can be accessed through a grate vulnerable to Missiles, after the elevators are taken offline due to electrical interference. This ventilation shaft becomes blocked off when Samus returns to the Operations Deck to reach the Operations Room during her final mission aboard the B.S.L. station.

The Fusion website features an "Operations Deck" section, which serves as a recap of the plots of previous Metroid games.

SA-X (near the end of the game, after receiving order from Adam to initiate the self-destruct sequence.)

Official Data[]

Metroid Fusion: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide[]

OPERATIONS ROOM: "You'll visit the Operations Room at the beginning of your adventure to download data, and at the end to change the station's orbit. Level 4 security hatches protect the main controls."

Trivia[]

The bottom-left platform between the doorways leading to the Navigation Room and Save Room is originally more open spaced in the prototype. Consequently, this change also affects the SA-X fight.
The ventilation shaft that Samus uses to reach the Arachnus becomes blocked off when she battles the SA-X. How it becomes destroyed remains unclear. It is likely the SA-X blocks it off in an attempt to stop Samus from reaching the Operations Room before she arrives. Given the explosion sound produced upon reaching the door to the Operations Room, the SA-X possibly enters through the blocked-off shaft as well. Furthermore, the SA-X's Core X escapes through the same blocked off shaft.
Disabling a layer in the room reveals an Elevator shaft backdrop positioned near the center of the bottom-right square of the room. It is not clear if this is a loading glitch or if its presence hints at an earlier room layout.
