The Pump Control Unit is a room in Sector 4 (AQA) on the Biologic Space Laboratories research station in Metroid Fusion. The room's name flashes on the screen immediately after entering.
Description[]
Samus accesses the room after defeating Serris. It is entered by a Blue Hatch. The ceiling and floor of the room are yellow, with a chasm in the floor that is completely submerged with electrified water. Samus will require the Speed Booster to be able to actually reach the control unit, as there are Boost Blocks in her way. Some parts of the floor consist entirely of Fake Blocks. When Samus lowers the water level, a message saying, "Water level lowered.", will appear before the level goes down. This will stop the water from being electrified by the broken conduits. The conduits themselves, however, are still damaging on contact. On the way out, Samus can collect a Missile Tank on a platform below, and then shoot the Fake Blocks to get back up to the first level.
The Pump Control Unit shares its theme with Navigation Rooms, Data Rooms, and Security Rooms on the B.S.L. station.
Sequence Breaking[]
If a 1% or even 0% playthrough is in attempt, Samus can also simply prepare a Shinespark just after breaking through the Boost Blocks, and then Shinespark to the entrance of the room. The Missile Tank can be skipped, but it is difficult to avoid.
