I was finally able to float up to the rim of the massive crater. From my vantage point, the edge was on the horizon -- it actually WAS the horizon! Fifty years of my life, I had been trapped there by the Space Pirates. They gave me Phazon, which was good, but they never let me see the outside world. All these memories came to me, just by standing at the rim of the crater. I thought of those days where nothing seemed to happen and time seemed to slow. And then there were the days -- and nights, where countless alarms went off and lights flashed and sirens screamed. And then there was Samus. Why, I do thank her for setting me free, but what I don't understand is why she had to almost kill me!
My thoughts continued to flow for quite a while until I realized that that was the past. I am no longer Metroid Prime, and I don't need to recall any memories because they don't matter anymore. So then I turned around and walked away, leaving my previous life behind me.
