'''Space Pirate Logs''' are Lore entries created by the [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates]], mostly reflecting what has recently and most importantly happened, showing positive or negative happenings to the Space Pirates. They are found throughout their bases of operations on computer monitors. [[Samus]] can access them with her [[Scan Visor]] and record them in her [[Logbook]]. The following are all of the Logs that are found throughout the ''[[Metroid Prime (series)|Prime]]'' series.

''Test subject Z-d, hereafter referred to as [[Metroid Prime (creature)|Metroid Prime]], was recently discovered in a cavern by mining crews. It quickly dispatched the miners, but was eventually contained by security units and drones. Once contained, we were able to begin studies upon Metroid Prime. The results have been astonishing. It is genetically similar to a Metroid, albeit on a high evolved level. It displays a limitless capacity for [[Phazon]] infusion and shows no Phazon-based degeneration whatsoever. It continues to grow in size, and while it has manifested some psychotic behavior, the cold field we use to pacify remain effective. Authorization for advanced studies on Metroid Prime have been approved.''

''As we continue to observe the development of Project Helix's [[Elite Pirate|Elite Pirates]], it becomes increasing obvious that these warriors will usher in a new era of Space Pirate dominance. They are incredibly resistant to damage, and their ability to transport and wield so many weapons at once makes them the ideal mainstays if our ground forces. Though they are not as quick as typical Pirates, it makes little difference. With a platoon of Elite Pirates in the vanguard of an army of normal and [[Flying Pirate|Flying Pirates]], we will have near-indestructible backbone that should turn the tide in any engagement.''

''The reconstruction of geoform 187, code-named [[Ridley]], was recently completed. After his defeat on Zebes, Command ordered a number of metagenetic improvements for him. Though aggressive, we were able to implement these changes in a cycle. The metamorphosis was painful, but quite successful in the end. Early tests indicate a drastic increase in strength, mobility, and offensive capability. Cybernetic modules and armor plating have been added as well. We believe our creation, now called [[Meta Ridley]], will become the mainstay of our security force, a job he will certainly relish.''

''Initial Project Helix experiments with Space Pirate embryos were disastrous. The Phazon-infusion process degenerated brain tissue even as it augmented muscle mass. None of what termed Elite Pirates lived to maturity; the few that survived their infanthood suffered severe psychotic breakdowns as juveniles, killing anything within their zone of perception. Research team [[]]Sclera made a recent breakthrough, in which parasite studies with a Phazon strain code-named Vertigo were highly successful. Since then we have successful fused Vertigo Phazon with Space Pirate DNA with great success. The latest batch of Elite Pirates have reached maturity successfully and are ready for field testing and training.''
