This could be the work of the Metroid, a parasitic life form that drains the life energy of its victims. I touched the pirate with my hand only to discover that it was only a pile of sandy dust that dissolved as soon as I touched it. Even though the pirate was my enemy, I still face a greater threat today. I moved quickly along through the chambers of Tourian and encountered some Metroid's that I defeated easily with missiles from my arm cannon. I knew that those Metroid's were too young and weak to do any serious harm to the space pirate.
