Federation survey team

The Federation survey team is a reconnaissance team working for the Galactic Federation. They play a key role in M07: Cauldron in Metroid Prime: Federation Force.
General Alex Miles reports that the team disappeared while exploring an Underground Lake on Excelcion, and tasks the Federation Force with going there to find them. The Force reaches the lake and discovers the survey team's ship, and the team themselves alive. They battle two Sawkens and destroy the creatures.
Once they have been saved, the team reports evidence suggesting that the Space Pirates have been experimenting with augmentation technology, with the Lake serving as their testing grounds. The Sawken creatures they encountered were native to the lake, but their size was unnaturally increased and the Pirates were able to control them. This is foreshadowing the final battle against Samus Aran, who is brainwashed and has her size increased via the amplification beam.
