[[Meta Ridley]] managed to escape the destruction of the frigate and fled to Tallon IV, prompting Samus to follow. Upon arriving she discovered the [[Chozo Ruins|remains]] of the Chozo civilization, including their [[Artifact Temple|Temple]] built to contain the destructive meteor impact, the mutagenic substance Phazon and victims of its effects, and the Space Pirate establishments. Samus manages to severely disrupt the Space Pirate operations, reassemble the [[Chozo Artifact|Cipher]] left behind by the Chozo, and destroy the source of the Phazon in the Impact Crater, [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]], halting the planet's decay.
