The story begins | The story begins with Samus reminiscing about her [[Super Metroid|previous mission]], particularly her confrontation on [[Zebes]] with the mechanical monstrosity [[Mother Brain]]. She awakes in a [[Galactic Federation]] facility and is directed to a training room by a quarantine officer, where she tests her various abilities. She then reports the results of her mission and presumably leaves. Sometime later, she receives a distress signal known as "Baby's Cry" from a decommissioned vessel later identified as the [[Bottle Ship]]. After boarding, Samus soon comes into contact with the [[Galactic Federation 07th Platoon]], headed by her former commanding officer, [[Adam Malkovich]]. Samus tries to discern their reason for boarding, and she, as an "outsider," is denied this information, and the platoon moves on ahead. Samus meets up with them in the [[Main Sector]]'s Control Room, where they find the corpse of a scientist. The [[Brug Mass]] is engaged shortly thereafter, and upon its defeat, Adam allows Samus to offer the platoon aid under the stipulation that she follow his orders. The platoon is then briefed, and exploration of the facility begins. | ||
===Manual | Samus rendezvous with the platoon in the Exam Center, located in the [[Sector 1 (Biosphere)|Biosphere]] Test Area. Before this, however, she encounters the body of another scientist (found in the Biosphere's Breeding Room) and a [[Little Birdie|peculiar bird-like creature]]. Samus and the platoon learn that the Bottle Ship is operated by the Galactic Federation and was designed for the propagation of bioweapons. They are then distracted by a [[Mystery Creature|mysterious, reptilian creature]], which assaults Samus before being repelled by [[Anthony Higgs]] and escaping. Samus is sent to the [[Sector 3 (Pyrosphere)|Pyrosphere]] in pursuit of this creature, but she is quickly directed to the [[Sector 2 (Cryosphere)|Cryosphere]], where she finds the body of [[Maurice Favreau]] and is attacked by the [[RB176 Ferrocrusher]] while in pursuit of [[MB|an unidentified woman]], who claims that Maurice was killed by another soldier. Samus calls this unknown assailant [[the Deleter]]. Returning to the Pyrosphere, Samus saves Anthony from the [[Rhedogian]] (first encountered on an elevator while leaving the Cryosphere) and, possessing conflicting feelings about Adam, remembers the events leading to death of Adam's younger brother, [[Ian Malkovich]]. Samus later encounters [[Ridley]] in the Geothermal Power Plant, and Anthony is seemingly killed. Contact with Adam is also inexplicably severed, and [[K.G. Misawa]] is incinerated in an unknown area of the sector. | ||
Samus leaves the Pyrosphere and witnesses an unknown soldier (most likely the Deleter) entering the elevator to the Biosphere. She pursues him to a building in the rear of the sector, the [[Bioweapon Research Center]]. Here, she meets the woman from before, who identifies herself as [[Madeline Bergman]]. Bergman tells Samus that the Federation planned to create a force of bioweapons with [[Zebesian]]s at its center, but that Ridley had caused them to go rogue. However, the Federation was also propagating [[Metroid (species)|Metroid]]s from cellular material taken from Samus's [[Power Suit]]. Ridley was also created in this fashion, albeit accidentally. Bergman states that an AI program based on Mother Brain (called MB) was created to control the Metroids, harbored in a secret area known as [[Sector Zero]]. Samus heads to the Cryosphere to reach Sector Zero, encountering [[Nightmare]] on the way. Defeating the creature, she proceeds, reaching the hallway before the entrance. She is startled by an infant Metroid, and just as she is about to kill it, Samus is shot in the back by a [[Freeze Gun]] and is knocked unconscious. She awakes to Adam's voice. Adam tells her that the Metroids in Sector Zero are most likely unfreezable, leaving Samus with no means to dispatch them, though they can be killed if the sector's self-destruct protocol is activated. Adam leaves to do this, sacrificing himself in the process, driving Samus to tears. However, before he goes, Adam commands Samus to kill Ridley and search for survivors in the Bioweapon Research Center's Room MW. Samus then retraces her steps as the sector detaches, and, unbeknownst to her, the ship's propulsion system activates. | |||
Samus permanently defeats Nightmare and, upon reaching the Bioweapon Research Center, finds the body of [[James Pierce]] (on the way, Ridley is shown being killed by unknown means). She eventually stumbles upon Room MW, where she finds a female scientist in a holding cell. This scientist panics and opens a hatch. Samus enters and encounters a [[Queen Metroid]]. At one point in the difficult battle, the ship's PA system announces that the ship will intercept Galactic Federation orbit in thirty seconds. Just before it intercepts orbit, the engines are cut. Samus defeats the creature and pursues the scientist, who also identifies herself as Madeline Bergman. She tells Samus that MB was the person met earlier, an android created to establish a relationship with Metroids similar to that established between Samus and the [[Metroid Hatchling]]. MB developed emotions and began contradicting Bergman and the other scientists. They planned to reprogram her, but Ridley escaped the same day, and MB became violent. She telepathically commanded the creatures of the Bottle Ship to attack those on board. Samus deduces that MB was the one who activated the ship's propulsion system. Samus and Madeline are then interrupted by MB, who plans to kill them. A platoon of Galactic Federation soldiers rushes into the room, and MB unleashes [[Desbrachian]]s upon them. Madeline freezes MB, who is then killed by the Federation soldiers, and Samus and Madeline are separated by a Federation colonel, who orders her to be escorted off of the ship. A soldier complies, and when stopped by the colonel, identifies himself as Anthony and as the one who cut the engines. Samus, Madeline, and Anthony then leave in [[Samus Aran's Gunship|Samus's ship]]. At Galactic Federation Headquarters, Samus resolves not to grieve Adam's death, but she does decide to return to the Bottle Ship, now marked for destruction, to retrieve Adam's helmet. She encounters and defeats [[Phantoon]] before escaping the facility in her [[Zero Suit]]. Samus then returns to her ship and flies off into the distance with the helmet beside her, closing another chapter in the hunter's saga. | |||
