Samus, rather than kill the Metroid in accordance with her mission directives, takes the specimen to the [[Ceres Space Colony|Galactic Research Station at Ceres]], so that [[Galactic Federation|Federation]] scientists could study its energy-producing qualities. While she was leaving SR388, Samus was ambushed by [[Proteus Ridley]] who attacked her at the landing site in an attempt to steal the baby Metroid, but was eventually subdued. According to Samus, the scientists discovered that the Metroid could be used to benefit civilization, but exactly how is never known. | ||
Shortly after Samus leaves Ceres, the scientists are murdered, and the Metroid is stolen by [[Ridley]] and taken to the reconstructed [[Space Pirate]] base on [[Zebes]]. After defeating Ridley in his lair at [[Norfair]], Samus finds the Metroid's casing broken in two. She encounters the creature herself in [[Tourian|New Tourian]] amidst dried husks of enemies. Since its time away from Ceres, the Metroid has grown to a gigantic size, far larger than any other juvenile Metroid Samus has encountered, but due to its existence away from SR388, it had not proceeded through the Metroids' growth cycle. The Metroid proceeds to attack Samus, draining almost all of her energy before ceasing and fleeing, possibly to warn Samus not to proceed any further. | Shortly after Samus leaves Ceres, the scientists are murdered, and the Metroid is stolen by [[Ridley]] and taken to the reconstructed [[Space Pirate]] base on [[Zebes]].
