Adam Malkovich: Difference between revisions

Adam appears in ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'' as the commander of the [[Galactic Federation 07th Platoon]] and Samus Aran's former commanding officer. The 07th Platoon consists of Galactic Federation troops [[Anthony Higgs]], [[Maurice Favreau]], [[James Pierce]], [[Lyle Smithsonian]], and [[K.G. Misawa]]. They are ordered to explore the [[Bottle Ship]] and rescue any survivors of [[MB]]'s rampage. When he and Samus meet aboard the [[Bottle Ship]], he does not disclose the reasons behind the Federation's presence when asked, stating that such information is not for outsiders. However, after the defeat of the [[Brug Mass]], he realizes that Samus's aid could prove beneficial, though he informs Samus that she is now under his command. She agrees, and the platoon is briefed in the Bottle Ship's Control Room, located in the Main Sector. While Adam can only contact the members of his platoon via the [[Save Station]]s scattered around the complex, he is able to maintain visual and aural contact with Samus from the room, giving her orders and authorizing the use of her weapons as needed. This contact is inexplicably broken during Samus's fight with [[Ridley]], though Adam may have been attacked by the Deleter (Pierce). Adam is not seen again until Samus finds an infant [[Metroid]] in [[Sector Zero]], to which she ventured in order to destroy the Metroids and MB. He shoots her in the back with his freeze gun (the only weapon authorized for use by the platoon), disabling her [[Power Suit]] and knocking her unconsciousness. When Samus awakes, Adam informs her that the Metroids in the sector are, unlike the Metroids Samus encountered on her previous missions, unfreezable, and are therefore unable to be dispatched by any weapons at Samus's disposal. He also tells Samus that if enough damage is done to the sector, it will detach from the Bottle Ship and explode. With Samus unable to stop Adam or change his mind, he ventures deeper into the sector, and before the doors close behind him and separate the two permanently, he turns back and asks, "Any objections, lady?", a familiar phrase to which Samus, with tears in her eyes, responds with a familiar thumbs-down.
