A low voice spoke softly...
"Welcome Samus...your arrival brings us joy and happiness... As you've seen from space, a liquid resembling water covers 89% of our moon's surface, leaving us with 6,975 miles of land. Only 4,756 miles of which make up our largest continent. The rest of our land is speckled across the Satellite ocean in islands. One island brings us great concern... A metroid breakout has been detected..."
"I, Samus Aran have tried my hardest to protect the mainland from metroid infestation. Unfortunately, the metroids had the tendency to grow larger and reproduce faster in the liquid known as Hibern-five. The name is derived from Hibern, a large moon orbiting the gas giant Vectra, and five meaning five-times the normal growth of metroids as a species. The metroids developed the ability to live off Hibern-five, but still maintained their instinctual lust for "life energy". Due to this imperfection, a hierarchy was established. Stronger Metroids drastically evolved into whale-sized creatures and fed off their much smaller brethren. Consequently, the smaller metroids began to travel through the satellite ocean in search of food. Unfortunately entire island cities were wiped-out. I could do nothing, the metroids were reproducing to fast... The infestation grew out of my control. I alerted the Galactic Federation and recommended the immediate evacuation of Hibern... Half of the mainland had been destroyed before the evacuation began. Studies had not begun until the metroids had devoured every living creature on Hibern. The breakout then leveled-out as the smaller metroids turned to cannibalism. The speed of reproduction was enough to sustain the smaller metroid population as well as the larger species. Against my recommendation, the Federation wanted to capture the larger metroids for "beneficial studies". The larger species were then casually called "Devourers" due to their developed taste for smaller metroids and ability to kill creatures twice as large as themselves. This massive species of metroid was found to grow up to seventy feet long, it moved slowly in flight but very fast in light liquids.A blockade was formed around Hibern's orbit to ensure no space pirates could access the moon. Unexpectedly, a ship carrying fifteen devourers jumped out of orbit..."
