==Plot==

Samus rendezvous with the platoon in the Exam Center, located in the [[Sector 1 (Biosphere)|Biosphere]] Test Area. Before this, however, she encounters the body of another scientist (found in the Biosphere's Breeding Room)<ref>{{cite|The large, cagelike booth looked like something had been raised in it, and in one corner was the miserable form of a researcher's corpse. |Samus Aran|Metroid: Other M}}</ref> and a [[Little Birdie|peculiar bird-like creature]]. Samus and the platoon learn that the Bottle Ship is operated by the Galactic Federation and was designed for the propagation of bioweapons.<ref>{{cite|This BOTTLE SHIP is under management of the Galactic Federation. In these facilities, life-forms from each planet have been raised and researched as possible bioweapons.|Exam Center computer|Metroid: Other M}}</ref> They are then distracted by a [[Mystery Creature|mysterious, reptilian creature]], which assaults Samus before being repelled by [[Anthony Higgs]] and escaping. Samus is sent to the [[Sector 3 (Pyrosphere)|Pyrosphere]] in pursuit of this creature, but she is quickly directed to the [[Sector 2 (Cryosphere)|Cryosphere]], where she finds the body of [[Maurice Favreau]] and is attacked by the [[RB176 Ferrocrusher]] while in pursuit of [[MB|an unidentified woman]], who claims that Maurice was killed by another soldier.<ref>{{cite|How can I trust you when your troops are willing to kill each other?|MB|Metroid: Other M}}</ref> Samus calls this unknown assailant [[the Deleter]].<ref>{{cite|At this rate, the plan the Federation wanted to keep so secret would be revealed. So they sent in an assassin. Someone to wipe out any survivors as well as anyone who learned about the secret project. K.G., James, Anthony, and... Adam. Could one of them really be a traitor? Until I found out who it was, I decided to call the traitor the Deleter.|Samus Aran|Metroid: Other M}}</ref> Returning to the Pyrosphere, Samus saves Anthony from the [[Rhedogian]] (first encountered on an elevator while leaving the Cryosphere) and, possessing conflicting feelings about Adam, remembers the events leading to death of Adam's younger brother, [[Ian Malkovich]]. Samus later encounters [[Ridley]] in the Geothermal Power Plant, and Anthony is seemingly killed. Contact with Adam is also inexplicably severed, and [[K.G. Misawa]] is incinerated in an unknown area of the sector.

==Gameplay==

While the ''Prime'' series focuses heavily on scanning, it is not as important in ''Other M''. Whenever something needs to be examined, pointing the Wii Remote at the screen turns the perspective from third-person into first-person. When the targeting reticule locks on to a point of interest, the camera zooms in and tells Samus what is needed to destroy or bypass the structure, whether it be items like [[Morph Ball Bombs|Bombs]] or [[Missiles]]. Missiles work in the same manner in the first-person mode.
