Upon Samus's return, MB is gone, replaced by the corpse of James Pierce. Following a climatic encounter with a [[Queen Metroid]], Samus meets the real [[Madeline Bergman]], who tells her the person she met earlier was in fact MB. From Bergman, Samus learns that what MB had said earlier was true, except that the distress signal was sent not because of out-of-control specimens but because of MB's rampage. Originally created to control Space Pirate forces, MB was given a human form (she originally had a brain-like form) to enable the first experimentally-produced Metroid hatchling to recognize the android as its mother, thus guaranteeing control over the creature.<ref>{{cite|MB was the artificial intelligence originally developed to regenerate and control Space Pirate special forces.|Madeline Bergman|Metroid: Other M}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Because we needed the first Metroid hatchling to recognize MB as its mother, she had to take on the form of a living thing.
