Biotech Research Area 1 is a room on the Frigate Orpheon. Samus must go through this room twice: once while traversing the Frigate, and again while evacuating.

The first time Samus enters this room, she may access an upper walkway that wraps around a lower section containing three specimen cells, two of which are broken and empty. This walkway has two injured Space Pirates on it and wall terminals that can be scanned.

When Samus returns to this room, she enters on the lower level. As she does, a Parasite Queen that was hibernating in the third specimen cell becomes volatile and attempts to escape. Three Space Pirates are trying to subdue it when an explosion kills them all. A damaged section of walkway allows Samus to climb up to the upper level again, where three more Space Pirates await her. An unstable ventilation cap breaks open, killing any nearby Pirates, exposing an escape route.
