Through exploration, Samus discovers that Serris is dead, and that the actual culprit is an X copy. Samus defeats it and is directed to Sector 3 to obtain the Super Missile upgrade because the SA-X has inhibited access to the closest Data Room (Sector 2).<ref>{{cite|Also, the route to the Data Room in Sector 2 is blocked by still more SA-X activity.

The X then infiltrate Sectors 5 and 6, and due to Samus's aforementioned vulnerability to cold, she is sent to Sector 6, only to discover that [[X Parasite#Blue X|a blue variety]] of X runs rampant, and Samus's ship computer warns her that absorbing them will freeze her from within, so she must stun them or otherwise avoid them until she reacquires the Varia Suit, which she does after battling a [[Core-X#Hard Core-X|Hard Core-X]].<ref>{{cite|Your safety is vital. But as to your brief... Level 2 security locks are released, so Sectors 5 and 6 are open. That means those sectors have likely been infiltrated by X.

You're still susceptible to cold from the vaccine side-effects, so you'll take damage if you even set foot inside there.

Once the upgrade is obtained, Samus is alerted of an emergency in Sector 3. Specifically, the research station's Main Boiler is overheating, and Samus has six minutes to shut it down before the station explodes.<ref>{{cite|Emergency in Sector 3 (PYR). The area could melt down soon. It seems the Main Boiler's cooling unit is malfunctioning (shows target room in Sector 3). This could easily destroy the entire research station, as it would likely trigger the auto-destruct explosives. We have about 6 minutes.|Ship's Computer|Metroid Fusion}}</ref> Samus arrives in the Main Boiler Control Room, and while it initially seems like a B.S.L. employee is operating the controls, Samus is soon forced to engage and defeat a Core-X before shutting down the boiler, indicating that the X can not only assume an organism's form, but they can also absorb its memories and/or knowledge.<ref>{{cite|The X mimicked a crew member... It all makes sense now. The X can absorb the memories and knowledge of their prey.|Ship's Computer|Metroid Fusion}}</ref> Samus has little time to ponder this, as her ship's computer informs her of survivors on the Habitation Deck. Expecting humans, Samus is surprised to find [[Dachora]]s and [[Etecoon]]s, both of which she previously met on Zebes.<ref>{{cite|Etecoons and Dachoras. I've met these intelligent beings before. They seemed to recognize me, as well. How unusual to meet again here.|Samus Aran|Metroid Fusion}}</ref> They leave the area, and Samus is ordered to return to Sector 5. Her ship's computer believes that the X are increasing in strength, so Samus needs the Power Bomb upgrade in the sector in order to combat them. | Once the upgrade is obtained, Samus is alerted of an emergency in Sector 3.

Once Samus has the Power Bomb, her ship's computer directs her to the ship, where she learns that the Reactor Core has been shut down, disabling all power-operated technology on the ship, including elevators and door hatches.<ref>{{cite|The main silo of the Reactor Core has gone offline. That's why all elevators and station systems are down. Elevators and hatches won't work.|Ship's Computer|Metroid Fusion}}</ref> Samus heads to the core, which is infested with a web of roots, to activate the station's auxiliary power, but before she can, she is attacked by [[Yakuza|a large, Space Jump-wielding spider]]. Activating auxiliary power doesn't rectify her situation, so Samus is sent to locate the source of the roots clogging the core: an X Parasite masquerading as a golden Chozo Statue. With an unexpected Plasma Beam in tow, Samus returns to Sector 5 to investigate reports of damage caused by an organism known as Nightmare, one of the specimens transported to the station from the Bottle Ship.<ref>{{cite|It's gotten worse. The damage seems to have been caused by a creature kept here by the researchers, who named it... the Nightmare. Apparently, it was a bio-mechanical organism designed for military applications... It possesses uncommon power and can manipulate gravity. We must assume that it's become an X-host. We have no choice. You must find it and defeat it.|Ship's Computer|Metroid Fusion}}</ref> Its defeat provides Samus with the [[Gravity Suit]], enabling her to further explore Sector 4, her only means of escape from Sector 5. | Once Samus has the Power Bomb, her ship's computer directs her to the ship, where she learns that the Reactor Core has been shut down, disabling all power-operated technology on the ship, including elevators and door hatches.<ref>{{cite|The main silo of the Reactor Core has gone offline.
