The Air Lock is a very small room on the Frigate Orpheon in Metroid Prime. It connects the Exterior Docking Hangar via the Main Docking Bay to the main sections of the ship.

Properties

This area can be pressurized and depressurized as needed, allowing individuals to leave and enter Orpheon to and from the vacuum of space. The pressurization mechanism is accessed by a terminal that can be scanned in this room. The door leading to the access hall cannot be opened until the air lock is repressurized.

When Samus first encounters this chamber after boarding the derelict vessel, it is in a depressurized state. Dead Parasites and small pieces of debris are floating about in the airspace and will fall to the floor once repressurization takes place.

After the Reactor Core overloads, Samus escapes the frigate using a new route in which the Deck Alpha Mech Shaft opens into the Air Lock.

Scans

Scan Data from Metroid Prime (Scan of door through which Samus initially entered)
Located in: Frigate Orpheon - Air Lock

Entrance to Main Docking Bay[1]

Scan Data from Metroid Prime (Scan of inactive door)
Located in: Frigate Orpheon - Air Lock

Door cannot be opened until air lock is repressurized. Use the activation panel to repressurize room.[2]

Scan Data from Metroid Prime (Scan of Terminal)
Located in: Frigate Orpheon - Air Lock

Air lock repressurization sucessful.[3]

Scan Data from Metroid Prime (Scan of activated door)
Located in: Frigate Orpheon - Air Lock

Entrance to Deck Alpha Access Hall[4]

Trivia

  • The scan data of the door Samus initially enters in this room indicates that the preceding hallway is called the "Main Docking Bay," but that area on the map is conjoined to the Exterior Docking Hangar and shares its name.
