Omega Research

Omega Research is a room in the Phazon Mines. It appears in Metroid Prime.
==Description==
This room has two levels. The first is positioned on a high rafter with a ramp leading downwards; alternatively, Samus can jump down from the rafter itself. A terminal with multiple computer screens and scannable logs detailing the Space Pirates' activities is found immediately upon entering. Across from the rafter is another one with Bendezium rubble blocking a door. Between both is a midair platform propelled in the air by fire indefinitely.
Whichever way Samus descends the room, a Force Field blocks the ramp's access to the central research lab, and must be disabled by scanning an Interface Module. In the center of the lower floor is another group of computer screens and terminals with even more Pirate intelligence, including one Pirate Data entry. Metal crates are found throughout the room.
On Samus's first visit, she passes through Omega Research while enroute to the Central Dynamo, where her hint system (if enabled) has reported power surges. The second time Samus goes through here, she fights an Elite Pirate that spawns from behind the Force Field's location. Even if it was disabled before, the Force Field will have been reactivated, and the Elite Pirate punches through the Force Field, destroying it completely. Samus must then defeat the pirate; upon doing so, her Heads-Up Display will inform her that the doors have been unlocked. Having obtained the Power Bomb, Samus can use it to destroy the Bendezium structure earlier and access a Map Station. Two other Elite Pirates exist in stasis in Cryosleep Tanks in the center of Omega Research as well, but they never awaken.
A Hidden World can be found in this room:

;Computer screen
:"Test results from Battle Simulation 'Samus Aran' are promising.Elite units report a 74% success ratio against Aran in testing. High Command is pleased, but expects a higher ratio by project's end."
;Omega Pirate
:"Log 11.232.8Elite Pirate Upsilon's propensity for Phazon has enabled our research team to infuse it far beyond our safety restrictions, and the results have been extremely encouraging. Its constant Phazon diet has increased its mass exponentially, but it has retained all mental faculties and shows dexterity with all Elite weaponry, including Plasma Incendiary Launchers and the Chameleon Manta issued for cloaking purposes. Elite Pirate Upsilon exhibits miraculous healing abilities; when injured, it seeks out Phazon deposits and coats itself in the substance, which instantly mends the creature's wounds. The subject, which we are code-naming Omega Pirate based on these developments, shows potential to be a new standard for our armies. Our only concern at this point is its potential overdependence on Phazon."
==Trivia==
*If the Force Field was disabled, it will still appear reactivated immediately before the Elite Pirate battle. Scanning the terminal (again) will not disable it.
*The White Door leading to Map Station Mines can be opened with the Phazon Beam (via hacking) and only on this side.
