Security Access A is a connecting room in the Phazon Mines on Tallon IV. It appears in Metroid Prime. The entrance is initially blocked from the Main Quarry by a Dual-Control Force Field, though this can be deactivated via two Interface Modules. There is a Bendezium wall to the left that can be destroyed with a Power Bomb to obtain a Missile Expansion.

Development Data
A Sentry Drone and tall generator-like object loaded into the room via hacking.
The room's internal name is 00b_mines_connect.
This room has an unused layer labeled "Don't Load", containing a tall indestructible generator-like object to the northern side of the room. This object is connected to the wall by destructible scaffolding, identical to the barriers seen in Mine Security Station. This layer also loads a Sentry Drone, which appears only if Samus passes through the doorway from Main Quarry. The aforementioned generator can be used as cover when engaging the Sentry Drone.[1]
