Changes: Reactor Core Entrance

Revision as of 02:58, 1 December 2019

Reactor Core Entrance (or Reactor Access in the Tallon Overworld) is a room in Metroid Prime on the Frigate Orpheon. It contains two Auto Defense Turrets that are easily dispatched with Missiles or charged shots, and a panel can be scanned to activate a Morph Ball hologram on the floor, which is used as in the previous room to open the next door. To the left, another door leads to a Save Station. The corpses of Space Pirates can be found lying around the room.

After the crash, the room becomes flooded. The door leading to the Freight Lift becomes de-energized and two Power Conduits must be shot with the Wave Beam to reactivate it.

Connecting rooms

Cargo Freight Lift to Deck Gamma (via large door with spherical lock/De-energized Door)
Save Station (via Blue Door)
Reactor Core (via large door with spheric lock)

Inhabitants

2 Auto Defense Turrets (First Visit): "Subject >> Auto Defense Turret
Use Missiles to break outer casing."

Scans

Crashed Frigate Screenshot (41) — Post-crash

Space Pirate corpse: "Morphology: Space Pirate
Status >> Dead. This creature looks like it struggled to get through this door."

Space Pirate corpse (2): "Morphology: Space Pirate
Status >> Death caused by cranial trauma."

Space Pirate corpse (3): "Morphology: Space Pirate
Status >> Death caused by severe lacerations. Subject looks like it has been partially eaten."

Space Pirate corpse (4): "Morphology: Space Pirate
Status >> Death caused by acid burns to the face."

Ball Clamp: "This device does not seem to be functional. There must be something nearby that will turn it on."

Ball Clamp (2): "It looks like a spherical shape would fit into this clamp."

Interface Module: "Door lock enabled. Please insert metallic sphere to open door."
Elevator panel

Door: "Entrance to Reactor Core Entrance"

Door: "Entrance to Save Station"

Interface Module (after crash): "Primary door control is inoperable. Auxiliary controls must be used."

Interface Module (power restored) (after crash): "Auxiliary door controls online."

Trivia

The "Intro Space" theme, which is heard when exploring rooms aboard the Orpheon before the Emergency Evacuation Area, again plays in this room before accessing the Reactor Core.

In the Gamecube version, the blue door connecting to the Save Station can be opened with a Missile. This behavior is also present in Exterior Docking Hangar.
