Bioenergy Production

Bioenergy Production is a room in the Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
==Description==
Bioenergy Production contains a power storage racks system, with three types of racks codenamed Alpha, Delta and Gamma; Samus must first scan a panel to bring the racks online, and then she must scan the individual configuration panels for the racks to stack them into a staircase, allowing her to progress. On later visits, the rack system may be set into another configuration; scanning another console can reset it to the last recorded position. A scan in the room mentions these racks were played with by two Space Pirate units, who were placed on low rations as a consequence.
There is a Spider Ball Track on the wall, using it leads to a Green Hatch.
The Dark Aetherian version of this room is the Phazon Site.

;Computer 1
:"Termination Report 07.195.02Metroid unit 318 was put down today after a failed domestication session. Metroid unit refused commands and terminated one of its handlers before it was subdued."
;Computer 2
:"Theft Report 07.196.05Three Metroids have been stolen. All on-duty units have been questioned. Whereabouts of Metroids unknown. Doubling security in Metroid areas until further notice."
;Computer 3
:"Discipline Report 07.198.02Units 013 and 043 have been placed on low rations after being caught configuring the power storage racks for amusement purposes. Agility training is to occur only in sanctioned training areas."
;Computer 4
:"Security Report 07.199.07The Dark Hunter was spotted near the Metroid tanks. She attempted to breach the containment racks without success, then escaped. Perhaps she is behind the Metroid theft."
;Computer 5
:"Maintenance Report, 07.200.03Energy containment field generators have failed three times. I fear for our safety. We're out of spare parts. One more failure, and we're finished."
;Computer 6
:"Injury Report 07.200.07Unit 686 released a Metroid for target practice today: the Metroid then assaulted 686. He should be regaining brain functions in a cycle."
;Computer 7
:"Training Report, 07.200.08Science 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."
;Computer 8
:"Production Report - Metroids 07.201.01Mass breeding of Metroids under way. We will meet Command's quota within a cycle. Storage remains an issue, recommended expansion of existing facility before a critical Metroid level is reached."
;Energy Tank
:"Energy TankPermanently increases your maximum energy capacity by 100 units."
==Trivia==
*In Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Bonus Disc, the computer terminal for the storage racks display a much different symbol, one resembling the terminals from Metroid Prime.
*In the GameCube version, it is possible for Samus to destroy the two Pirate Aerotroopers without triggering the Door lock. If triggered after their destruction, the music will play regardless until exiting the room or another track is loaded.
*If the two Aerotroopers are somehow skipped and Samus visits this room after acquiring the Dark Beam, the Aerotroopers will fight alongside the Tallon Metroids within this room. The Tallon Metroids can also move the Pirate Aerotroopers during the former's energy draining attack if the latter has not taken into flight.
:*The reason for this is likely because Metroids were never programmed to attack Aerotroopers at all, scarcely appearing within the same room as them. This behavior is also true within the Research Core in Metroid Prime.
