This article is about the room on Frigate Orpheon. For the room on the Crashed Frigate, see Biotech Research Area 1 (Tallon Overworld).

The 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.

Scan Data from Metroid Prime (Wall Terminal)
Located in: Frigate Orpheon - Biotech Research Area 1

Combat mutation applications are complete. The primary legs of this creature possess galvanized tips, allowing it to penetrate any known alloy.[6]

Scan Data from Metroid Prime (Wall Terminal)
Located in: Frigate Orpheon - Biotech Research Area 1

Parasite egg in pupa stage. Its tough exoskeleton protects it from its mother's acidic embryonic fluid.[7]

Scan Data from Metroid Prime (Wall Terminal)
Located in: Frigate Orpheon - Biotech Research Area 1

The fluid sacs in the mouth enlarge after mutation. This allows for increased production of corrosive bile.[8]

Scan Data from Metroid Prime (Wall Terminal)
Located in: Frigate Orpheon - Biotech Research Area 1

After mutation, the carapace of the larva becomes rigid. The carapace is quite resilient, able to resist the attacks of many predators.[9]
