Empty training room

The empty training room appears at the beginning of Metroid: Other M. Samus Aran awakens in the quarantine room next to this location after escaping Zebes' destruction. She is instructed by the Quarantine Officer to go next door, and is led in a training sequence by the Head Quarantine Officer. After the training she enters an amphitheatre-style meeting room to give her mission report.
==Description==
The Empty training room is as the name implies. It is a large square room made up of a dark chrome metal lined with several lights and thick slightly transparent or reflective walls. The room is completely empty (save for any visitors inside), with nothing but a window in the center of one side and a door opposite of the window. Various operations pertaining to this room are controlled through the other side of the window, in a small control room. The controls within this small area can be used to activate certain programs within the training room itself, such as spawning lifelike holograms or digitally removing a floor panel in the center of the room leading to a small basement floor. The control area window is made up of strong materials, being able to repel or reflect Power Beam shots with ease. A large durable shield plating can be deployed downwards to cover the control area, protecting it from various heavy duty blasts or to protect its stationed members from various harmful radiation effects or blasts. The Door leads into other facilities and is the only way in/out of the main training room area, whereas the entrance into the training room's control area lies elsewhere.
If one looks closely at the walls, one can see what appears to be duplicate versions of this room. It is possible there is more than one training room housed within its facility. One of these rooms may also be the Quarantine room housed nearby. The walls may also simply be reflecting this room's surfaces.
Within the Empty training room, the Head Quarantine Officer can be examined in first person view where he will simply wave at Samus for doing so. The assistant next to him mans some of the control consoles within the small control room, and he too can also be examined, though nothing happens.
==Training sequence==
The training sequence starts with Samus releasing Charge Beam fire at one, then two more holographic targets. Next, she is told to transform into her Morph Ball to drop some Bombs, before she is asked to unmorph and stand in the middle of the room. A hologram appears in the floor and Samus walks towards it, standing on it before it disappears and she falls into a chamber underneath the floor. To get back up, she is to Kick Climb. Once back up, the floor seals and the chamber cannot be entered again. The Head Quarantine Officer then opens concealed pits in the floor spawning some of Samus' "pals", a swarm of ten holographic Geemers. After Samus has killed all of them, the officer asks Samus to replenish her Missile supply with Concentration, and then says one of her "pesky buddies" is lurking around the room. Samus goes into Search View and finds the Zebesian Hologram hanging off the corner of a ceiling (which corner is generated randomly), and unleashes a Missile at it. Samus then engages the hologram with Lethal Strikes, Overblasts and Beam attacks (but not more Missiles as the hologram has "had enough of them") until it dies. A blast shield then covers the observation window and Samus is told to unleash a Power Bomb. She does so, and the officer concludes the training.
The officer then states that Samus is due to give a mission report in the meeting room regarding her mission on Zebes in Super Metroid. Before leaving, the officer tells her that he gave her suit a polish so she'd be "at least somewhat presentable". This is foreshadowing Project Metroid Warriors.

==Inhabitants==
*10 Hologram Geemers
*1 Hologram Zebesian
==Trivia==
*If Samus somehow dies in this room from out of bounds, and the game is continued at the Continue Screen, then the entire opening sequence is played once more.
*If the game is hacked to change Samus to Zero Suit Samus, Samus will be unable to clear the training as her Paralyzer's bullets pass right through the first holographic target.
*Manipulation of the camera reveals there are four low-poly rooms adjacent to each of this room's sides. All appear to be a similarly shaped room as the Empty training room, with a TV screen like square in the center and a door opposite of it. However, one of the windows in one room is absent as it is directly behind the window where the Head Quarantine Officer and his assistant is being stationed at, and the duplicate room opposite of it is missing a door, though it is positioned exactly behind the door to the Empty training room door. None of these rooms' surfaces appear modelled as Samus simply falls right through them. 
**It is possible that all these rooms may also be training rooms as well stationed within the facility, however it wouldn't make sense to have a training room directly behind the door where Samus entered the Empty training room from as there would be only one way in/out. Some of these rooms may also be a Quarantine room (without all the proper scenery), as one was housed next door to the Empty training room and both share similar layouts and designs. It may also be possible that these duplicate rooms exist to express reflective lighting within the Empty training room itself.
