Samus is transported to [[Galactic Federation]] headquarters for immediate treatment. During the transport, the X multiplies in Samus's body and corrupts large parts of her Power Suit. Because the Power Suit is integrated into Samus's nervous system, the Federation is unable to remove it while she is unconscious. Instead, the Federation surgically removes the infected portions, altering its [[Fusion Suit|appearance]], but the X in Samus's nervous system still provides an immediate threat to her survival. However, a cure is eventually made from Metroid cells derived from the [[Metroid Hatchling]] (seen in ''[[Super Metroid]]''). The vaccine destroys the X parasites in Samus's body, saving her life and rendering her immune to X infection, since she can now absorb free-floating X Parasites to replenish her health, weapons, and abilities. However, it also gave her a vulnerability to cold, an unexpected side effect of the vaccine arising from its Metroid composition. | Samus is transported to [[Galactic Federation]] headquarters for immediate treatment.

There is an unexplained explosion on the station, and Samus is sent to investigate the situation on deck. During her missions on B.S.L., she is issued orders by the computer on her new ship,<ref>{{cite|My mission on the B.S.L station will be overseen by my new ship's computer. Following the commands of this blunt, computerized CO is something I have to bear, as it was a condition of my taking the ship. For someone who dislikes taking orders, this is the second time I've found myself having to do so. It makes me recall my other CO...|Samus Aran|Metroid Fusion}}</ref> which she named [[Adam Malkovich|Adam]] in honor of her previous commanding officer, Adam Malkovich.<ref>{{cite|That computer reminds me of a gruff Federation CO I served under named Adam Malkovich. He called me "Lady" on missions; from anyone else, it would've sounded sarcastic, but Adam made it sound dignified. Out of respect and with some irony, I named the computer after him.|Samus Aran|Metroid Fusion}}</ref> | ||
Samus discovers that the staff of B.S.L had been killed, and most of the creatures that were under research in the separate sectors had been infected, killed, and then mimicked by X parasites. Under orders to exterminate the X as quickly as possible, Samus downloads the Missile data for that purpose in the [[Data Room]] on the Operations Deck. Before she can make her way back to the Main Deck, an electrical interference disables the elevators. Samus escapes from the Operations Deck via the air vents but comes across a [[Core-X]] mimicking an [[Arachnus]] that gives her the [[Morph Ball]] ability upon its defeat. | Samus discovers that the staff of B.S.L had been killed, and most of the creatures that were under research in the separate sectors had been infected, killed, and then mimicked by X parasites.

Suddenly, | With the [[Varia Suit]] in hand, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] is sent to [[Sector 5 (ARC)]] to obtain the [[Ice Missile]] upgrade. After disabling the Level 3 lock, Samus gains the Ice Missiles. Suddenly, she is informed that [[Sector 3 (PYR)]] is in a meltdown and she has 6 minutes to stop it. Quickly making her way to the main boiler room, she destroys a [[Hard Core-X]] that is mimicking a crewman. Samus obtains the [[Wide Beam]] and stops the explosion. Adam then detects life signs on the Habitation Deck. When Samus investigates, she finds the [[Etecoon]]s and [[Dachora]]s from ''[[Super Metroid]]''. The animals flee to the ship. Afterwards, Samus returns to Sector 5 to receive the [[Power Bomb]] upgrade. She is told to go to the ship, and on the way the power fails. Samus makes it to the ship by way of a ventilation duct. Samus goes through the main reactor, and by battling [[Yakuza]], she regains the [[Space Jump]], and restores auxiliary power. She then restarts the core reactor by defeating [[Nettori]], and gaining the [[Plasma Beam]] in the process. | ||
With Main power restored, Samus now must take care of a creature rampaging in Sector 5. Samus fights the [[Nightmare]] and regains the [[Gravity Suit]]. She escapes into Sector 4, disables the Level 4 lock and downloads the [[Diffusion Missile]] upgrade from a data room without being told of it. She is sent to take care of the corrupted [[Security Robot B.O.X.]] that escaped before. After terminating it, she regains the [[Wave Beam]], which allows her to access a restricted laboratory. Inside, she discovers the presence of [[Metroid (species)|Metroids]]. Then, [[SA-X]] begins a destruct sequence of the laboratory, but Samus escapes. While moving about, Samus encounters [[Ridley-X]], and regains her [[Screw Attack]]. | |||
At a [[Navigation Room]], Adam argues with Samus for a time, then reveals to her that he is the real [[Adam Malkovich]]. He gives her instructions on how to destroy both the station and [[SR388]]. As she heads to the necessary area, she must fight [[SA-X]], but the [[Core-X]] escapes without being absorbed. Samus activates the destruct sequence, giving her 3 minutes to get to her ship. Once at the hanger, Samus finds that her ship is gone and an [[Omega Metroid]] is rampaging in the hanger. Do to mutation by the [[Galactic Federation]], none of Samus's conventional weapons do any damage, and one hit from the beast reduces her shielding to one. At the last second, [[SA-X]] comes in and damages it with the [[Ice Beam]]. Samus absorbs the core, and gains her original genetic condition, along with the [[Ice Beam]]. She manages to kill the Omega Metroid, and the ship comes to pick her up. | |||
Samus makes some final remarks and she leaves with Adam, no longer a part of the Federation.<ref>{{cite| That perfect military mind... The wisdom of Adam Malkovich continued to serve even after death. Until today, I had no idea that the minds of leaders and scientists were frequently uploaded to computers. My incredible reunion with Adam may have saved the universe... But how will the beings of the universe view our resolve? I doubt they will understand what we did... the danger we barely averted. They will hold tribunals and investigations. They will hold us responsible. Adam understood this, and he spoke to me in my anger... "Do not worry. One of them will understand. One of them must." I've reflected upon his words, and I see the wisdom in them. We are all bound by our experiences. They are the limits of our consciousness. But in the end, the human soul will ever reach for the truth... This is what Adam taught me. Just one detail still bothers me. This ship can only be started manually. Yet, before I faced the Omega Metroid, the ship moved on its own, guided by someone's hands. Is it possible? Adam...?|Samus Aran|Metroid Fusion}}</ref> | |||
