A few months after her return from Zebes, Samus, no longer under orders, receives a distress signal known as "Baby's Cry," which is emanating from a space station known as the [[Bottle Ship]], and takes it upon herself to respond and investigate the facility. Shortly after landing, she comes into contact with the [[Galactic Federation 07th Platoon]], led by her former commanding officer, Adam Malkovich. Initially left in the dark about the Federation's motives ([[Anthony Higgs]] is the only person who treats her amicably), she cooperates with the platoon to take down the [[Brug Mass]]. With the stipulation that she take orders from Adam, the latter allows Samus to help the platoon in its exploration of the Bottle Ship. Her directives take her to three sectors with simulated environments: Sector 1, the Biosphere (a lush, jungle area), Sector 2, the Cryosphere (a frozen wasteland), and Sector 3, the Pyrosphere (a deadly expanse of lava, molten rock, and volcanic structures). She faces many familiar enemies during her stay, as well as a plethora of new and bizarre creations, including [[Nightmare]] and the [[RB176 Ferrocrusher]]. She eventually learns from [[MB|Madeline Bergman]] that a rogue group of Federation agents has been, against Federation protocol, genetically modifying the life-forms aboard the ship for use as bioweapons, and that [[James Pierce|one such agent]] is in the 07th Platoon. Much to her surprise, she also learns that Mother Brain's AI was used to create an android that could control Metroids, long thought to have been extinguished, and that DNA from her [[Power Suit]] was even used to unwittingly clone Ridley. | A few months after her return from Zebes, Samus, no longer under orders, receives a distress signal known as "Baby's Cry," which is emanating from a space station known as the [[Bottle Ship]], and takes it upon herself to respond and investigate the facility. <ref>{{cite manual|Code name: 'Baby's Cry.' A common SOS with the urgency of a baby crying... The nickname comes from the fact that the purpose of the signal is to draw attention. The signal was coming from a remote part of space. I altered the course of my ship as if this detour had already been part of my flight plan. Baby's Cry...

Her desire to stop the rogue agent and resolve the crisis leads Samus to the Bioweapon Research Center, an off-shoot of the Biosphere, where she meets the real [[Madeline Bergman]] and discovers that she and other scientists accidentally created a Queen Metroid. After a long and difficult battle (made worse with the knowledge that Adam sacrificed himself to destroy [[Sector Zero]]), Samus destroys the Queen, shuts down the rebellious android, and leaves the Bottle Ship, which has been marked by the Federation for destruction. She returns before the Federation destroys the ship in order to retrieve Adam's helmet, a task hindered by the appearance another enemy from her past, [[Phantoon]]. With the specter's defeat, a self-destruct sequence is activated, and Samus climbs into her Gunship. With Adam's helmet in the seat beside her, Samus reflects on her experiences on the Bottle Ship and narrowly escapes her demise. | Her desire to stop the rogue agent and resolve the crisis leads Samus to the Bioweapon Research Center, an off-shoot of the Biosphere, where she meets the real [[Madeline Bergman]] and discovers that she and other scientists accidentally created a Queen Metroid.
