Kill the Auto Defense Turret (1 Missile!) and proceed to Biohazard Containment.


== Boss Battle: The Parasite Queen ==
== Biohazard Containment ==
Scan: Space Pirate Log 09.992.3


Don't forget to save in the Reactor Core Entrance
Kill the Auto Defense Turret, activate the elevator, and ascend.  Kill four Pirates, and proceed to the Cargo Freight Lift to Deck Gamma via the Deck Beta Transit Hall.


Towards the end of the mission you face the first boss: The Parasite Queen, a giant mutated parasite. Upon beginning the fight, you should scan the queen straight away. This reveals that the parasite queen has a weakness in the mouth and as such your auto aim readjusts to target from the belly to the mouth, and increases the amount of damage you deal. To kill her you must simply shoot her enough, with charged shots being the most effective method of harming her. You should only use missiles when you have a clean shot.  
== Cargo Freight Lift to Deck Gamma ==
Kill the Auto Defense Turret while still behind the door in Deck Beta Transit Hall. Scan the terminal to activate the lift, then enter the hologram to descend. At the bottom of the lift you encounter your first healthy Space Pirate. Congrats!


The Parasite Queen attacks by firing a stream of green energy at you, which,-if she scores a direct hit-can do between 10 and 20 units of damage. Her main defense is a blue shield which covers two sides of the boss and stops all attacks. Occasionally, the shield will suddenly spin rapidly and block almost all incoming shots but single power beam blasts can still get through, or you can simply run round avoiding the incoming attacks which you can do by dashing as the shield quickly settles.
To proceed to the Reactor Core Entrance, you must first activate the door lock by scanning its terminal, then enter the lock clamp in Morph Ball form.  The door opens.


After beating the parasite queen, you are informed that the auto destruct sequence has been started and you have 8 minutes to get out. This part of the frigate is very linear so there is no difficulty in simply following the path to your ship. Clearing the halls of the vast swarms of parasites is not necessary and simply wastes time, so just run through them (or roll using your Morph Ball if the tunnel is mostly downhill.)
== Reactor Core Entrance ==
Do yourself a favor and Kill the defense turrets before you enter the room and activate them.  Proceed left to the [[save station]].  Save, return to the Reactor Core Entrance, and unlock the door via Morph Ball.  Proceed to the Reactor Core.
 
== Reactor Core ==
Scan: Parasite Queen.
 
First order of business: kill the [[Parasite Queen]], a giant mutated parasite.

I hope you didn't forget to save in the Reactor Core Entrance

After beating the parasite queen, she falls into the reactor, initiating the auto destruct sequence.  You have 8 minutes to get out. Proceed to the Elevator to Deck Beta via Deck Gamma Monitor Hall.
 
== Elevator to Deck Beta ==
At the top of the elevator, there are turrets.  You can turn them off at the terminal before turning the corner. Proceed to Deck Beta
 
== Deck Beta ==
 
At Deck Beta, they're killing the other Parasite Queen just as you enter.  There's a large explosion.  Proceed up some broken stairs, kill three Pirates, and proceed.

Path: Subventilation Shaft Section A, Subventilation Shaft Section B, Cargo Freight Lift to Dedck Gamma, Main Ventilation Shaft Section A, Main Ventilation Shaft Section B (2 Turrets), Main Ventilation Shaft Section C, Main Ventilation Shaft Section D, Main Ventilation Shaft Section E, Main Ventilation Shaft Section F, Biotech Research Area 2.
 
== Biotech Research Area 2 ==
Here there is a short video involving [[Meta Ridley]], and a path to cross using the [[Grapple Beam]]. Proceed to the Connection Elevator to Deck Alpha.
 
== Connection Elevator to Deck Alpha ==
First, disable the defense turrets by scanning the terminal.  Then comes the tragedy of all Metroid games:  As you scan the terminal to enter the elevator, there is a mysterious explosion which removes every upgrade to your suit. So sorry.  Before the game can be completed, you're going to have to fully upgrade your suit all over again.  Fortunately, the mysterious suit is Chozo-made, and Tallon, the planet below, is their home planet.  What a coincidence!
 
Enter the elevator and proceed.
 
Path: Deck Alpha Mech Shaft, Air Lock, Exterior Docking Hangar.
 
Exit the Hangar and Samus escapes to her ship to pursue Meta Ridley to the planet below.  Home Free!
