2. Proceed to the FIrst Intersection
Once on the track, proceed along it and use the Psychic Boost Ball to cross large gaps in the track. Once you reach an intersection with a path going up, align Samus with the upper track and use a Psychic Bomb to push her onto it.
3. Remove the First Screw
From the intersection, make your way to the first screw holding the device in place. Use a Psychic Bomb to propel Samus into the socket, then use the Psychic Boost Ball to turn the screw loose.
4. Head to the Next Screw
After the screw is fully loosened, head back to the intersection and continue left. You may encounter enemies crawling along the path; drop a Psychic Bomb close to them to have the explosion will defeat them.
5. Remove the Last Screw
There is another intersection that you can take up to reach the final screw. Similar to the last one, use the Psychic Bomb and Psychic Boost Ball abilities to reach the screw and turn it.
6. Defeat the Enemies that Spawn
Removing both screws will cause the device to fall, making a lot of noise and attracting a swarm of Grievers. Work with VUE-995 to defeat them all.

Once all enemies have been taken care of, direct VUE-995 to hit the tempered glass, then follow its punches with a Missile. This will break the glass, allowing you to claim the reward inside.
