The Security Station is a room in SkyTown on Elysia. It appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
Description[]
This room has two main sections. One is a curvaceous hallway containing gearworks that serve to assist the mechanism that keeps the structure aloft in Elysia's atmosphere. The other is a vertical shaft containing two Wall Jump Surfaces. The sections are separated by an Orange Door, and are interlaced by pipework which Samus can access with the Morph Ball, after she melts the metal blocking it. A maintenance platform also exists here, and the room sections are separated by a gear. This can be removed with a Combination Lock.
If Samus idles in front of the Wall Jump Surfaces without the Screw Attack, Aurora Unit 217 will send a transmission hinting that the item she needs to ascend them is on a previously visited planet.

Development notes[]
The room's internal name is 0b_skytown_screwclimb, referencing the Wall Jump Surfaces in the vertical column. The keyword skytown indicates Skytown, Elysia, and the prefix 0b indicates that this is the second of 9 sets of junction room throughout the planet.
