Sector Zero Entrance

The "Sector Zero Entrance" is a room in Metroid: Other M. Classified in the map as part of the Cryosphere, it leads into the unexplorable Sector Zero.
==Description==
A shot of the door to enter Sector Zero is seen briefly in a cutscene shortly before Samus enters this room, in a U-shaped corridor where she feels the BOTTLE SHIP begin to move.
Visually, the room is a long hallway lined with large buttresses, four on each side, that have a blue stripe along their lengths and white-colored lights near the ceiling. There are two similar lights in the ceiling as well. The entrance to Sector Zero is at the far end, in a doorway surrounded by large black tubes with orange stripes on them. Halfway during the cutscene in this room, the BOTTLE SHIP begins to move toward Galactic Federation Headquarters, and more lights turn on in the room.
After the cutscene, Samus ends up back in the corridor she entered this room from. It is possible to re-enter this room before the escape sequence is triggered, but there is little incentive to do so other than to explore it more freely. Once the escape sequence begins, this room detaches with the rest of the sector and is destroyed.
==Role==
When Samus enters this room, the camera's perspective frequently shifts, showing different angles of Samus and something following her. After some time, she stops and automatically enters Search View. When she turns to her left, she is surprised by a Baby Metroid. Recoiling, she has a flashback of the baby from SR388 hatching (as depicted in Metroid II: Return of Samus and Metroid: Samus Returns). After hesitating, she prepares to kill it. However, she is shot in the back and collapses. Losing focus, her Varia Suit fluctuates until it de-materializes. The infant Metroid prepares to attack the defenseless Samus, but is frozen and killed. A soldier comes over to Samus.
Shortly after, the soldier is revealed to be Adam, who explains to Samus that the Metroids in Sector Zero, which she had come to eliminate, cannot be frozen. He speculates that the Metroid he killed had not matured enough for it to overcome its immunity to cold. Adam tasks Samus with stopping the BOTTLE SHIP from reaching Galactic Federation Headquarters, rescuing a survivor he found in Room MW and killing Ridley's clone, before approaching Sector Zero. When Samus asks how he plans to destroy unfreezable Metroids, Adam explains that he intends to cause enough damage to the sector that it detaches and self-destructs, and he stunned Samus to prevent her from stopping him or carrying out his suicide mission herself.
Adam proceeds into the main airlock, locking blast doors behind him so that a struggling Samus cannot follow him. He momentarily turns around and asks "No objections, right Lady?", to which Samus responds with a tearful thumbs down. Moments later, Sector Zero begins to separate from the BOTTLE SHIP and Samus hears the explosion. Reactivating her Power Suit, she swears to finish the mission.

==Connecting rooms==
*"Sector Zero Access" (via automatic door)
This room leads into the Sector Zero Main Airlock. As Samus does not get the chance to enter Sector Zero, this room effectively classifies as a dead end.
==Inhabitants==
*Baby Metroid
*Adam Malkovich (cutscene only)
==Trivia==
*While Samus would normally be wearing her Paralyzer on her leg, the black Paralyzer holster is absent during the entire cutscene. It is possible that D-Rockets animators overlooked this detail. This is supported by the fact that she has the Paralyzer holster if she dies after the Sector Zero cutscene.
*Gallery Mode concept art describes this room as a "large gallery passage".Metroid Database translation - https://www.metroiddatabase.com/wp-content/uploads/Metroid-Other-M/art/InGameArtGallery(ENG)/momart93-sector-zero-1800x1013.png An artist that does not identify him/herself provided commentary:
