===Mission File 02543=== | |||
Samus is hired by the [[Galactic Federation]] to locate and render assistance to [[Galactic Federation Marine|Federation Marines]] that went missing in the [[Dasha Region]] 8 days prior.<ref>{{cite|--- Mission File 02543 --- 8 days ago, contact with Galatic Federation trooper squad Bravo was lost.<br>--- Contract Agreement --- Locate Federation troopers and render assistance.<br>--- Data Confirmation --- Last transmission received from a rogue planet located in the Dasha region called Aether.|Samus Mission File|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> She arrives at [[Aether]], the planet from which their last transmission was received, and heads for the coordinates 78.67.563. As she enters the atmosphere, her [[Samus Aran's Gunship|gunship]] is damaged by a lightning storm and she becomes effectively stranded while her ship repairs itself.<ref>{{cite|Your ship has been damaged. Auto-repair function initiated.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> Continuing her search on foot, Samus discovers dead Marines scattered within a hive of indigenous creatures called [[Splinter]]s. Amidst searching for survivors, she comes across a [[Ing|unknown biomass]] that reanimates many of the corpses, which engage her in combat.<ref>{{cite|Bioscans indicated terminated lifesigns in this trooper, and the presence of an unknown biomass with parasitic tendencies.|Logbook|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> Soon thereafter the bounty hunter comes across her twisted doppelgänger, [[Dark Samus]]. Samus pursues Dark Samus through a [[Portal]] into [[Dark Aether|another dimension]] with a poisonous atmosphere, where she is attacked by a group of [[Warrior Ing|dark creatures]]. They steal most of her weapons and she is flung back into Aether with only her most basic suit functions and the rift disappears. | |||
After she leaves the hive, Samus discovers the [[Communication Area]] where the Troopers attempted to set up a [[Galactic Federation Communications Array|communications array]] and that atmospheric interference is scrambling outgoing distress beacons.<ref>{{cite|The engineer tells me there's no way we'll get the ship's engines online, and the atmospheric interference is scrambling our distress beacon.|[[Trooper Log]] for [[PFC L.

Tyr]]'' was undergoing repairs by Force One of the [[GFMC Task Force Herakles|squad Bravo]], she finds the remainder of the troopers dead and a final report left by [[Captain A. Exeter]].<ref>{{cite|Datecycle 07.014.2 (Cosmos) Final report, GFMC Task Force Herakles. Exeter, A.C. commanding.|Captain A. Exeter|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> In the final report, Exeter reveals that the crew was pursuing a [[Space Pirate]] frigate that crash landed on Aether after a skermish, but their ship was also damaged by a strange storm.<ref>{{cite|While on patrol in the Dasha system, we engaged an unknown Space Pirate frigate. The enemy frigate was crippled, and it crashed on the planet Aether. We followed the Pirates, but our ship was damaged by a storm as we entered Aether's atmosphere.|Captain A. Exeter|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> The trooper's comm systems were unable to penetrate the interference and the task force split into two divisions: one ordered to set up an Ops base and the other focused on repairing the ship.<ref>{{cite|Heavy magnetic activity during the storm disabled our comm systems. Upon landing, we split into two units: one to set up an Ops base, the other to repair the ship. Each unit was doing fine, no problems... ...until they appeared.|Captain A. Exeter|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> Depicted in the report is some sort of [[Darkling|dark]] variant of Splinters slaughtering the task force, and Samus travels to the nearby [[Great Temple]] in search of clues. | |||
===The Luminoth=== | |||
There she meets [[U-Mos]], the last remaining Luminoth sentinel. U-Mos explains that the Ing have stolen the life source of Aether - called the [[Light of Aether]] - and are hording it in their contorted Dark world. He sends Samus on a mission to recover the lost Light of Aether. | |||
Samus ventures to several different regions of Aether: [[Agon Wastes]], [[Torvus Bog]], and the [[Sanctuary Fortress]]. She recovers the [[Dark Temple Key|keys]] to the regions' specific temples and defeats the Ing in the parallel Dark portions of the levels. Along the way she encounters [[Space Pirate]]s, who are harvesting [[Phazon]] to use to increase firepower. The pirates keep [[Metroid (species)|Metroids]] in captivity in order to test the Phazon on them. | Samus ventures to several different regions of Aether: [[Agon Wastes]], [[Torvus Bog]], and the [[Sanctuary Fortress]].
