MedLab Delta is one of the medical labs aboard the G.F.S. Olympus in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
Description
This serves as the room that Samus Aran sleeps in during her month-long coma after Dark Samus corrupts her and the Bounty Hunters on Norion. When Samus awakes, the first thing she sees is a biohazard scanner that informs her that she is corrupted. A Lab Assistant notifies her of the occurrences since the Norion attack, and explains the new PED Suit installed in Samus's Varia Suit. After letting Samus test Hypermode, she sends her to Aurora Unit 242.
The room contains the GF Mk VI Biopod, which Samus was treated in during her coma. It also contains a hatch on the floor that lets Hypermode-vulnerable material out into a spherical formation, which allows the testing of Hypermode while in the pod. There is also a Biopod Control Platform from which a Fleet Trooper can monitor said Biopod and observe the testing of Hypermode in the safety of an energy shield. Additionally, on both sides of the room are enclosed spaces with monitors; underneath the northern station are stations with Galactic Federation Phazon and Phazon Enhancement Device datafiles.

Scans
Samus awakens after the incident at Norion.
- GF Mk VI Biopod
- "GF Mk VI Biopod. Status normal. Unit is used to perform medical procedures of extreme difficulty."
- Biopod Control Platform
- "Biopod Control Platform. Federation medics use this during procedures involving the biopod."
- Phazon
- "Galactic Federation Datafile PD-001.
(Phazon)
Data moved to Logbook for review."
- "Phazon is a substance of extragalactic origin. It is a highly radioactive ore with extreme mutagenic properties. It has certain biological qualities, including the ability to reproduce itself. Exposure to Phazon often affects the brains of sentient beings, causing erratic, destructive behavior. It is also a potent source of energy, surpassing even Fuel Gel in pure output potential. It must be handled carefully, as it can cause “Phazon sickness” if used incorrectly."
- Phazon Enhancement Device
- "Galactic Federation Datafile PX-013.
(Phazon Enhancement Device)
Data moved to Logbook for review."
- "The Phazon Enhancement Device is designed to harness the energy of Phazon minerals, originally discovered on Aether, for a new Federation weapon system. It is being tested on GF Marine battalion stationed in the Norion system. Marines can initiate an energy siphon from a supply of Phazon carried in a backpack into their armorsuits. This allows them to temporarily enhance the exoskeleton and weapon systems to their armorsuits. To date, no marines have displayed signs of “Phazon sickness."

Development notes
The room's internal name is 05_gfship_medical. The keyword gfship indicates the G.F.S. Olympus, and the prefix 05 indicates that this is the fifth of six main rooms on the G.F.S. Olympus.
Trivia
- The Female Fleet Trooper in the room has been theorized to be the "Doctor Wells" mentioned in messages over the Olympus intercom by AU 242.
- Some of the unreachable terminals in this room display rather unique information. This can be seen using a free camera:
- On one of the GF Stiletto-Class Fighter terminals, the name OtherBrain can be seen underneath the ship.
- Another GF fighter computer screen displays the name RETERO on the bottom-right corner. This may be a reference to Retro Studios.
- A computer displaying a Griffin-class frigate has the name "Captain Ramirez". This may refer to the Marine known as Luis Ramirez, who is likely a captain of one of these vessels.
