But before its destruction, several tissue samples are salvaged to continue experimentation elsewhere. | Though Samus is successful in her efforts to suppress the creatures they had created, including a [[Queen Metroid]], the situation gets out of hand and her commanding officer, [[Adam Malkovitch]], decides to separate Sector Zero from the rest of the Bottle Ship and initiate its self-destruct sequence.
