Science Team was responsible for the discovery of Phazon in the [[Dasha System]].<ref>{{cite|Science teams have discovered the presence of Phazon in the Dasha system four cycles ago. High command authorized the deployment of our team shortly thereafter.

The artifact weapon, dubbed the "Dark Beam" by science team, provides energy needed to open the portal, although for a limited time. We've sent expeditions through the portal, and they have returned with incredible news. The portal leads to a parallel version of Aether.|[[Space Pirate Logs]] "Log 05.422.1 (Rift Portal)"|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> Phazon extractions in Dark Aether began, and Science Team began creating powerful armor to defend against the toxic atmosphere and [[Ing|hostile native bioforms]].<ref>{{cite|Phazon extraction raids are under way on Dark Aether. The toxicity of the atmosphere has taken a toll on our workforce, as have the hostile natives of that world.

Metroid studies continued on Aether, with focus on mass breeding and training of Metroids.<ref>{{cite|Metroid Energy Report, 07.202.09<br>Until we recover more Phazon, we rely on Metroids for power. Command has authorized mass breeding of Metroids for this purpose.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> The inability of troops to tame the subjects led some to believe Science Team's decision was extremely unwise.<ref>{{cite|Training Report, 07.200.08<br>Science Team believes the Metroids can be trained. After several cycles of trying, I believe Science Team has vapor for brains. I've lost two assistants to the wretched little things.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> | |||
When [[Dark Samus]] first arrived at the base, Science Team, unaware of her true nature as a sentient Phazon being, suggested she needed the Phazon she was stealing to power her suit.<ref>{{cite|Samus Aran, the accursed Hunter, has arrived. The sudden arrival of the Hunter is strange enough, but her actions are stranger still. She does not seek our destruction, but our Phazon. With each raid, she steals Phazon ore, only killing those who attempt to deny her. What she needs it for we do not know - though Science Team suspects she requires it to power her new armorsuit. Dark in color, it is equipped with strange new weapons. The troops now call her the "Dark Hunter." It is a fitting title.|[[Space Pirate Logs]] "Log 06.362.2 (The Hunter)"|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> | |||
