982456 had been assigned to Metroid research on Tallon IV after the events
that happened on Planet Zebes many deca cycles ago. Despite the hostile
metroids he had to monitor, he was much more happier than he was guarding
the base on Planet Zebes. The hunter had annihilated both of his comrades,
his child-hood friend 973456 and his Space-Pirate Military academy buddy
854367.
It all happened in a flash to him those many cycles ago. They were all guarding the entrance to Norfair when the door suddenly opened. Out of the door stepped the Armor clad Hunter. 982456 had been examining the condition of one of the security sensors. As he turned around to see whom had entered the sector he stood aghast at the presence of the hunter. As soon as the Hunter cleared the door it's attention was drawn to 982456 two friends who assumed the battle position. 982456 barely had a chance to react before a blindingly bright light that shot out of the Hunter's gun vaporized his two friends. Fortunately the hunter did not spot him, and after seeing what the Hunter did to his friends he stood there silently in fear. As the hunter left the room through the hatch as quickly as she came he realized how close he had came to losing his life. He wiped the beads of sweat from his eyes and made haste back to the command center.
But now that was all behind him and he was working hard in the Phazon mines trying to solve the riddles of the metroid. He still despised the Hunter for what he had done to his friends, but was confident that he would never have a chance to exact his revenge since the hunter was probably a million light years from here.
982456 had a busy morning composed of energy absorption, and growth rate tests with the metroids and had checked all the cooling systems thoroughly, he wasn't taking any chances around these metroids as he was fully aware how deadly they could be. The metroids are a mysterious organism that has the ability to float through the air and latch onto their prey with large mandibles. They then absorb their prey's energy and store it in their own body. What so strange about this is this "energy" is that it takes no form, yet without it the prey dies.
"Subject number 846 is acting rowdy!" Reported one of his co-workers. He quickly rushed over to its containment tank, which contained the metroid. It repeatedly thrashed itself against the tank as it screeched loudly. He seized the control panel from the desk in front of the tank and slowly turned the temperature dial. As the cool air filled the containment tank the metroid became less active as the cordite glass of the tank became fogged from the sudden change in temperature. The metroid finally descended and rested at the bottom of the tank.
Satisfied with himself he started to return to his quarters for his daily rations. Just as he was opening the hatch he heard a loud siren. The room became lit with red warning lights as a voice over the intercom came to life.
"Security alert! Security Alert! All Soldiers report to battle stations immediately. There has been a security breach in Sector 1.", warned the voice. A deep fear inside his heart, which had been dormant until now, came to life.
"No it can't be!" he said to himself in a panic. "There's no way the hunter, could possibly have located our base!"
