Facility exterior

The "facility exterior" is a room in Hanubia. It appears in Metroid Dread.
==Description==
This room is directly outside the confines of the innermost facility in Hanubia, which contains the elevator leading down to Artaria. Since it is outdoors, the room is under heavy rainfall, as with much of the outer area, with at least one stream of constant water falling below. The exterior is divided into two floors, which are each accessible from different rooms, but not each other. The lower floor is entered first, initially appearing as a small corridor lined with a black substance, along which a Chozo Zombie walks. Past it is a group of Bomb Blocks embedded into a small tunnel.
The tunnel gives way to a low ledge with an open window in the background, emanating a greenish light. Under the ledge on the left wall is another tunnel obstructed by a Grapple Beam Block. When removed, this opens access to Hanubia's initial entrance. On Samus's first visit to the facility exterior, all she can do is remove this block and use it to access the entrance, and from there, Ferenia. The door to the next room is blocked by a Wave Beam Cover, and Samus does not have the Wave Beam at this point.
Once the Wave Beam is re-acquired and Samus returns to this room from the lower tunnel, the red Chozo Soldier that previously appeared in the background of the Shuttle to Ghavoran is present. It jumps from the background into the mentioned window, soon to be fought within the Hanubia E.M.M.I. Zone. Optionally, Samus can access the top room of this floor, which is a straight corridor with a high ledge, to obtain an expansion (see below).
==Connecting rooms==
*Network Station (via Power Beam Door and Wave Beam Cover)
*"Bioweapon Storage" (via Wave Beam Cover and one-way door)
*"Hanubia entrance" (via tunnel, initially blocked by Grapple Beam Block)
==Inhabitants==
*Chozo Soldier (first visit only, runs away)
*Chozo Zombie
*2 Rodotuks
The higher of the two Rodotuks, when killed, will turn into an X and move to the lower part of the room before reanimating as another Rodotuk. It can be killed again to absorb the X.
==Items==
;Power Bomb Tank
:From the top of the next room, Samus must run into the upper floor of this one with the Speed Booster active. She must save a Shinespark, then lay Bombs on the raised ledge to expose a group of Boost Blocks. Then she must quickly Shinespark down into them to destroy them all. The Power Bomb Tank will be revealed in a small tunnel once this is done. Each door into this floor of the exterior is one-way, potentially making the item more difficult to obtain.
