[[Samus Aran]] detects a distress signal from the [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates']] [[Frigate Orpheon]]. She boards the frigate and finds it in disrepair, and largely devoid of life. Data found on computer terminals within the frigate suggest that it had been recently used to research the material [[Phazon]], which the Space Pirates discovered on [[Tallon IV]], the planet the Orpheon orbited. When Samus reaches the ship's [[Reactor Core (Frigate Orpheon)|Reactor Core]], she discovers the most successful biological experiment of the Space Pirates, the [[Parasite Queen]]. Samus is forced to battle the creature. Its corpse falls onto the reactor, causing it to become critical. As Samus begins to evacuate the ship she is confronted by [[Ridley]]. Ridley causes an explosion that greatly damages Samus's [[Power Suit]], reducing it to basic functionality. Samus quickly returns to [[Samus Aran's Gunship|her gunship]]. Ridley flies away to the planet and Samus pursues him. The frigate eventually falls to the planet. | [[Samus Aran]] detects a distress signal from the [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates']] [[Frigate Orpheon]].

===The Great Poison=== | |||

Samus discovers that Tallon IV was formerly inhabited by the [[Chozo]]. Thanks to the [[Chozo Lore|Lore]] the Chozo left on the ruins and temples of Tallon IV, Samus discovers that the planet had been struck by a meteor many years ago. The meteor, which would later be discovered to be a [[Leviathan]], carried with it a strange substance, known to the [[Chozo]] as [[Phazon|"The Great Poison"]]. As the poisonous substance brought by the meteor spread over the planet, it caused great damage to the biosphere. At the time of Samus's arrival, it had already caused widespread mutations in the local organisms, and rendered some areas lifeless. Samus also discovers that the Space Pirates estimated that life in Tallon IV would perish in a span of 25 years. | Samus discovers that Tallon IV was formerly inhabited by the [[Chozo]].

The various carvings scattered around the Chozo Ruins document the Chozo's struggle to destroy the substance emanating from the meteor and return the planet to its original state. The Chozo, who were themselves being eroded by the substance, were unsuccessful in their attempts to right the planet's ecosystem. Eventually, they resolved to seal the meteor and the [[Impact Crater]] from which the substance was emanating. The Chozo built a [[Artifact Temple|Temple]] over the crater to contain the [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Worm]] and to stop the spread of the substance on the planet. They also sealed its entrance and left twelve [[Chozo Artifact|artifact]]s scattered all over the planet that served as keys to break the seal. After this the Chozo left the planet. | The various carvings scattered around the Chozo Ruins document the Chozo's struggle to destroy the substance emanating from the meteor and return the planet to its original state.

===Experimentation=== | |||

After exploring the planet, Samus discovers that the [[Space Pirate]]s have built a base on Tallon IV, and are experimenting with the "Great Poison" and its effects on [[Metroid (species)|Metroids]] and other local species. The pirates officially named the substance [[Phazon]]. After hacking their database on the [[Phendrana Drifts]] facility, Samus discovers that the pirates had accidentally entered the Chozo temple from the underground and discovered a strange creature within. The creature killed the miners, but was later captured and subjected to study. It was discovered that the creature was genetically similar to a Metroid, though much more evolved. It was then named [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]] by the pirates. It was also discovered that the creature was immune to the negative effects of Phazon, and that it had also a high appetite for the substance. The creature was kept in a stasis tank, but it eventually was able to escape. In the process it absorbed some of the pirate weaponry to its body and then returned to its lair in the Impact Crater. Samus also discovers the presence of several [[Chozo Ghost]]s in the ruins of the ancient civilization. The corruption that the Phazon brought was so immense that it even contaminated the ghosts of the Chozo. Some Pirates were killed by these ghosts, forcing the Pirates to prevent any access to the Chozo Ruins or Temples. | |||
The Space Pirates want to extract all of the planet's Phazon for use as an energy source and in continued biological experiments. They set up various research stations in different regions for the purpose of experimenting with Phazon. Finally, they begin excavations into the planet's surface so as to extract subterranean Phazon. This area became known as the [[Phazon Mines]]. It was also home to many biological experiments. | The Space Pirates want to extract all of the planet's Phazon for use as an energy source and in continued biological experiments.

Within the Space Pirates' [[Phazon Mines]], Samus discovers that the Space Pirates had been conducting experiments involving subjecting embryos of their own species to Phazon. In a cavern in the lowest level of the mines, Samus discovers the most successful of these experiments, a huge Space Pirate called the [[Omega Pirate]]. The Omega Pirate attempts to kill Samus, but is unsuccessful. Despite its ability to heal itself by absorbing raw Phazon from the environment, Samus is able to defeat the Omega Pirate. However, it falls on top of her, deluging her in Phazon. The Phazon corrupts her Power Suit, turning it into the [[Phazon Suit]], which has the ability to resist Phazon radiation. It also allows her to conduct Phazon from an external source to her arm cannon to be used as a weapon. | Within the Space Pirates' [[Phazon Mines]], Samus discovers that the Space Pirates had been conducting experiments involving subjecting embryos of their own species to Phazon.

After collecting all twelve artifacts, Samus travels to the temple the Chozo built, the [[Artifact Temple]] hovering above the impact crater. There she uses the artifacts to unseal the crater. However, before she can enter the crater, Ridley, now rebuilt with Pirate Technology as [[Meta Ridley]], arrives and damages the temple. Samus and Ridley begin to fight. After Samus deals enough damage to Ridley, the Chozo temple reacts, firing a laser directly at Ridley's chest. This knocks him into the abyss below. | After collecting all twelve artifacts, Samus travels to the temple the Chozo built, the [[Artifact Temple]] hovering above the impact crater.

Back on the planet, the pool of Phazon that used to be Metroid Prime merges with the Phazon Suit. A hand begins to emerge out of the pool. On the back of the hand, an ominous eye begins to look around. [[Dark Samus]] is born. | Back on the planet, the pool of Phazon that used to be Metroid Prime merges with the Phazon Suit.
