Metroid Prime (game): Difference between revisions

The storyline in the PAL version of the game is the one used for the ''Trilogy'' version.

[[Samus Aran|Samus]]'s [[Samus Aran's Gunship|Gunship]] detects a distress signal from the [[Space Pirate]] [[Frigate Orpheon]]. She then boards the frigate to find it in disrepair, and largely devoid of life. Data found on computer terminals within the frigate suggest that it had recently been being used to research the material [[Phazon]], which the Space Pirates discovered on [[Tallon IV]], the planet the Orpheon is in orbit above. Foremost among the topics of research aboard the Orpheon is the effect of Phazon on living organisms. When Samus reaches the ship's [[Reactor Core]], she discovers the most successful biological experiment of the Space Pirates, the [[Parasite Queen]]. The Parasite Queen is an animal native to Tallon IV that has been exposed to Phazon, causing it to grow to an atypically large size. It apparently was responsible for the destruction aboard the Orpheon. Due to the threat it poses, Samus destroys the Parasite Queen. Its corpse falls onto the reactor, causing it to become critical. Samus begins to evacuate the ship, but while doing so meets up with [[Meta-Ridley]]. He attacks her, damaging her [[Power Suit]] and reducing it to basic functionality. Samus quickly escapes back to her gunship, and both she and Ridley escape to Tallon IV. The Orpheon's reactor fails, causing it to crash into the surface of the planet as well.
