The Trooper Security Station is a room in the Temple Grounds. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

Description[]

Upon first visit, Samus encounters a group of Splinters under fire from a Galactic Federation Turret. An Mk VII Defense Gate is found here, with a different scan than normal. It is not operational and must be lifted by scanning an Interface Module. It is too hidden behind a gate, but a nearby biostructure has been compromised and can be access via the Morph Ball. This chamber contains the body of SPC M. Angseth. When Samus activates the Interface Module, the gate will rise, but then shut again and again, forcing Samus to roll under it in Morph Ball form.

After doing so and reaching the nearby door, the Gate closes permanently. Samus will be unable to bypass it again until she has recovered her Power Bombs. The Screw Attack provides an alternative method to destroying the gate in the event Samus is out of Power Bomb ammunition or she wishes to conserve some.

The Dark Aether equivalent of this room was Reliquary Access.

"This is ridiculous. I can outshoot half the men here, and I'm stuck on monitor duty. I didn't join up to stare at a holoscreen! This wouldn't happen to Samus Aran... She'd be out there taking care of business, not pushing buttons and sending reports."
