Conduit A

Conduit A is a room on Norion. It appears in Metroid Prime 3 Corruption.
==Description==
This is a forking corridor with two long hallways, at the entrance to which is a large Galactic Federation symbol on the floor. There is structural damage to the walls and floor nearby this from the Space Pirate invasion. The titular conduit is situated underneath the initial walkway, initially out of power since Generator A has been disabled. On return visits, it is active. An alcove to the right leads into the Map Station of Norion, which also contains Galactic Federation Data entries for Rundas, Ghor and Gandrayda. Several exhaust vents have been damaged and release steam capable of fogging up the Visor if stepped into.
Upon entry, Samus encounters three Galactic Federation Marines in combat with a Pirate Militia, taking cover behind crates and walls. One of them shouts "WE GOT GRENADES!" and runs toward Samus, as multiple bombs dropped by the Pirate explode and kill all three soldiers. Samus can immediately avenge them by killing the Pirate. As she proceeds further, three pieces of elongated debris fall in front of her twice, which can be destroyed with the Charge Beam. Another piece near the exit starts to fall, but does not drop in front of Samus, and can optionally be destroyed. Additional hazards along the way include a broken flame exhaust that releases fire at timed intervals, and Jumpmines (which can be seen under the walkway at the entrance).
When Samus returns to Conduit A after reactivating the Generator, she encounters a Shield Pirate Militia, who is killed by a PED Marine. He says "Hostile eliminated!". If spoken to afterwards, he will warn Samus about a group of Jumpmines and Crawlmines ahead:
After the invasion, a pair of Fleet Mechanics can be found here making repairs. They will dismiss Samus if she attempts to speak with them, citing the need to focus on their work.
