Podworks

The Podworks is a room on SkyTown, Elysia in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
==Description==
The Podworks is the interior of the Spire. Upon entrance, there is an L-shaped Morph Ball tunnel that ends with a piston going down into the room. Progress is impeded by metals that will melt if shot with a high temperature weapon. The room itself is square in shape, with a central square-shaped tower containing an almost eye-like construct. A damaged circuit board is by each side; the one on the right is covered by plating that must be ripped off. A final circuit board is found within the tower, blocked by a fragile gate that can be also be ripped off. Repairing all of the boards causes two cables to light up and bring power to the Pod, while the Skytown Announcer says "Escape pod online."
==Role==
To destroy the Leviathan Shield Generators for the Elysia Seed, Samus Aran was required to utilize the Spire Dock, since she could not reach them with her Gunship. After fending off a Space Pirate attack, Samus began the destruction sequence for the Dock. The Spire released an Emergency Evacuation Pod for her to escape with, however due to unknown reasons (likely old age or tampering by another party {Most likely a Space Pirate}) the Pod malfunctioned, forcing Samus to work quickly to repair it as the Spire would drop the Theronian bomb in five minutes. To repair the Pod, Samus had to fuse three circuit boards with her Plasma Beam. After the repairs were made, Steamspiders would begin invading the Podworks, though they pose little threat to Samus. She had to return the way she came in and activate the escape pod, escaping just before the Spire falls onto the Leviathan Shield, causing the destruction of both the shield and the Spire.
After the Pod lands back on SkyTown, this room can no longer be accessed since the Spire has been destroyed.
