↑ "They possess some of the twelve Artifacts we call the Cipher, yet do not comprehend their function." —Chozo Lore (Metroid Prime)
↑ " It is clear now that we Chozo can never return to our dimension, not while the Great Poison reaches ever further into the planet. It is so powerful, this creeping evil, that our wills are crumbling and our minds beginning to fail. And so, before it is too late, we now make our last stand. We have begun to build a temple to contain this darkness: at its heart we will place a Cipher, a mystical lock powered by twelve Artifacts and filled with as much power as we Chozo can harness in our ethereal states." —Chozo Lore (Metroid Prime)
