===With the Federation Police===
At an unspecified point after Samus left the Chozo, she joined up with the [[Federation Police]]. While she was in the Police, she was assigned several recon missions, all of which were likely designed to keep tabs on Space Pirate activity in her area.
At one point, Samus was assigned to the planet [[Jigrad]]. She was monitoring Space Pirate activity in the area with her comrades [[Kreatz]] and [[Mauk]].<ref>{{Cite manga|We've confirmed the Quantum Radar and the Brethren. [The Space Pirates] easily took over the surrounding planets|Kreatz|1|3|10}}</ref> When Samus' comrades came to check on her at her post, she gave them the numbers of the Space Pirates.<ref>{{Cite manga|I got a complete look around but there's a lot of them. Twenty-four in all and the leader is among them.|Samus Aran|1|3|11}}</ref> Kreatz took a look, and he identified the leader of the Space Pirates name to be Kani,<ref>{{Cite manga|He's there, Kani's there.|Kreatz|1|3|11}}</ref> but he was not able to ascertain what the Space Pirates were doing there.<ref>{{Cite manga|...So, what are they doing?|Kreatz|1|3|11}}</ref> Samus told him that the Space Pirates had left a remnant of their forces; they were forcing the natives of the planet to build a "gaudy building" for no apparent reason.<ref>{{Cite manga|Take a look at that building over there.|Samus Aran|1|3|11}}</ref><ref>{{Cite manga|What is that...They're still working on it...|Kreatz|1|3|12}}</ref><ref>{{Cite manga|...Yeah. The Space Pirates have been in control for two months. Their main forces have gone on to other planets but, those left behind have been hard at work building this gaudy building. Furthermore, they've gone so far as to forgo machines and force the natives to build it manually.|Samus Aran|1|3|12}}</ref>
Kreatz had just suggested to go and report back to headquarters when Samus noticed something; the Space Pirates had brought in a group of children to work on their "gaudy building".<ref>{{Cite manga|Alright, for now, let's report back to headquarters. In another hour, we'll meet up with the other recon teams and move in to the kill together... And that'll be mission accomplished! We were just here for reconnaissance this time so we had an easy time of that.|Kreatz|1|3|13}}</ref><ref>{{Cite manga|Hey wait, what's that? Aren't those children?|Samus Aran|1|3|13}}</ref> The Space Pirates brought in the group of children and "prepared everything as usual".<ref>{{Cite manga|OK, we've got another fresh load of workers! Prepare everything as usual!|Space Pirate|1|3|13}}</ref> "Preparing things as usual" entailed setting up a sensor at a certain height; if a child failed to trigger the sensor, they were dispatched.<ref>{{Cite manga|Hm-So you're not fit to work. Dispatch her!|Space Pirate|1|3|15}}</ref> The adults working on the building pleaded for the Space Pirates to stop killing children, implying that the Space Pirates made that a grisly habit.<ref>{{Cite manga|S-,stop! Don't kill any more children! It's cruel, it's too cruel...|Adults on Jigrad|1|3|15}}</ref> Samus was surprised by such a cruel act, even coming from the Space Pirates.<ref>{{Cite manga|So they're going to kill a kid simply because she's not tall enough?! Ridiculous!!|Samus Aran|1|3|15}}</ref> The Space Pirate began to taunt the little girl he was preparing to kill, saying that it was simply for amusement and telling the little girl to "scream and cry".<ref>{{Cite manga|Well, truthfully, this isn't about whether we can or can't use you. On such a distant planet, this is the only amusement we have. Listen-it's gonna hurt-so scream and cry-!|Space Pirate|1|3|16}}</ref> The Space Pirates shot the girl, but their beams "shot back";<ref>{{Cite manga|The beams shot back|Space Pirate|1|3|17}}</ref> Samus had rushed down in her Power Suit and grabbed the girl. She placed the Space Pirates under arrest.<ref>{{Cite manga|I'm with the Federation Police. Don't move, you're under arrest.|Samus Aran|1|3|17}}</ref> The Space Pirate leader pointed out that Samus was seemingly alone and ordered his men to attack,<ref>{{Cite manga|Fools, what are you so afraid of? Take a better look. She's alone!! Finish her off!|Space Pirate leader|1|3|18}}</ref> beginning a firefight. Samus sent the civilians to safety, and began her fighting.<ref>{{Cite manga|Here, everyone, go hid somewhere until this is over...Quickly!!|Samus Aran|1|3|19}}</ref> Kreatz was worried about the consequences of disobeying orders, so he asked for advice from Mauk, whom had been silent up to that point.<ref>{{Cite manga|Oh man-She started a firefight-We're disobeying orders and we'll have to write an apology. What should we do, Mauk?|Kreatz|1|3|21}}</ref> Mauk's answer was simply to join the conflict. That prompted Kreatz to join the conflict, as he enjoyed a firefight as well.<ref>{{Cite manga|H-hey, what's up? They're leaving me out. I can't let that go! Count me in! I don't hate this kinda stuff!!|Kreatz|1|3|22}}</ref>
After the firefight, there was one Space Pirate left alive.<ref>{{Cite manga|Now, the only one left is you!|Samus Aran|1|3|24}}</ref> When the Space Pirate happened to crawl underneath the sensor the girl had failed to trigger, Samus decided to kill the Space Pirate just as he was preparing to do to the little girl.<ref>{{Cite manga|Wasn't it that if you weren't detected by the sensor...You get 'dispatched'!?|Samus Aran|1|3|25}}</ref> The Space Pirate begged for mercy,<ref>{{Cite manga|Have mercy!!|Space Pirate|1|3|26}}</ref> but Samus remembered the murders on K-2L and was going to shoot him anyway.<ref>{{Cite manga|Did you say...'Mercy'!? Such an...insolent phrase...!!|Samus Aran|1|3|26-27}}</ref> Just then, Samus heard the cries of the little girl; she had been keeping it in the whole time. The women of the colony comforted the little girl, telling her that it was over.<ref>{{Cite manga|O-oh, why all of a sudden? What is it? Were you surprised by the loud cry? Ah, you've been keeping it in this whole time. It's alright, it's alright. It's over now. It's alright. It's alright. It's over. Hey, it's over.|Woman on Jigrad|1|3|28}}</ref> Samus decided to not shed any more blood and placed the Space Pirate under arrest.<ref>{{Cite manga|In the name of the Federation Police, you are under arrest!! According to Federation law, you have the right to a trial. Until that trial is commenced, it is my duty to guarantee your safety while keeping you restrained...Do you accept?!|Samus Aran|1|3|29}}</ref>
Afterwards, [[Chief Hardy]], the commander in charge of Samus and her friends, reprimanded the three for disobeying orders.<ref>{{Cite manga|You fools! I could grill and boil you and still not be satisfied! I'm going to tie you out in the sun and cut the word 'orders' into your foreheads. Do you understand?!|Chief Hardy|1|3|30}}</ref> The little girl came to thank Samus for saving her,<ref>{{Cite manga|Thank you nice lady. Thank you for saving me!|Damara|1|3|31}}</ref> but Samus told the girl that she was the one who had saved her.<ref>{{Cite manga|No...You were the one who saved me...! Truly, thank you!|Samus Aran|1|3|31}}</ref> Samus walked off hand in hand with the little girl, who told Samus her name; [[Damara]].<ref>{{Cite manga|I'm Damara, what about you?|Damara|1|3|32}}</ref><ref>{{Cite manga|I'm Samus, nice to meet you!|1|3|32}}</ref>
Later, [[Adam Malkovich]] told Chief Hardy that while the Pirates were gone, now he had to deal with a piece of baggage; Samus Aran.<ref>{{Cite manga|My, my. The battleship prepared to fight the Space Pirates has gone to waste. And it appears that we've gained an unnecessary piece of baggage...Samus Aran...|Adam Malkovich|1|3|32}}</ref>
