Standing in the quarantine bay Greg wasn't sure what he had expected to find. He had been doing everything he could to combat the virus and keep it out of the environmental sectors but their was nothing he could do.
One thing that had been bugging him for a while was how did the X-virus get out of the quarantine bay anyway? The bay itself wasn't exactly very secure, definitely not compared to the small lab that was being used to breed metroids but the containment cells themselves should have been more than able to hold in whatever was put in them.
Unless it was equipped with a rocket launcher. The virus's weren't responsible for the outbreak, at least not the virus cells the other scientists had known about. He could see the cell where the infected parts of Samus Aryans suit had been stored.
Samus Aryan, bounty hunter extraordinaire. He had seen her once on the pirate planet Zebes during the Metroid crisis. Before that noone had ever heard of her before she ws just one more hunter in a galaxy that required thousands of them, but after she defeated the pirates and destroyed the metroids they had been cloning there wasn't a place you could go without hearing her name.
In all fairness she deserved it, not a year after zebes she was dispatched to SR388, The home world of the super predators known as the metroids. Single handedly she wiped out they're entire race. Something that at least two full battalions had not only failed to do but had died trying.
If she hadn't done so they wouldn't be here above what was once the most dangerous planet in the known galaxy researching an ecosystem that had once been dominated completely by the metroids. Of course maybe it would have been better if the metroids had just stayed where they were.
The X-virus a virus specific to the sr388 ecosystem was once kept under the heel of the metroids, unable to combat such a powerful species it had lied dormant on the planet waiting for the time when the metroids would no longer exist.
Samus suit had been stored here after it had been stripped off, to hopefully get rid of the virus that had infected her. Greg didn't know how she was doing right if she had recovered or not but he now knew that the virus was more complex than any of them could have imagined.
The virus replicates by infecting a host and then invading their cells, killing off the host but giving the virus a blue print with which it could shape itself in the fashion of its host, giving the virus its physical abilities and allowing it to sneak into environments undetected and infect the animal population.
He now knew that much from what he had seen so far on the station. And using that as a starting point in a theory of his he now saw how the whole incedent had happened.
Samus Aryans combat suit was partly biological and thus the virus could recreate it from what little bits of it had been in the cell, and once it had replicated both the suit and Samus herself it had the perfect body with which to destroy the opposition with, the hole where the containment cell had been was a perfect testament to that.
With that suit its no wonder the virus was spreading as fast as it was, the security robots had been activated but none of them stood a chance against a clone of the hunter.
Greg doubted he stood much of a chance himself, he had a scientific arm cannon with two settings low and stun, wouldn't even faze something like that, and even if by some fluke he did kill the thing, the virus would just replicate itself or infect him, only the metroids could destroy an X, and he couldn't get to them. He did have one advantage and that's was his jump boots, the rocket powered boots he had kept from his days in the space marines. With them he was faster and more agile than the X samus but not by much.
Looking around the bay he noticed a light clanging sound coming from the open door. Which didn't make much sense, he should be the only one left alive on the station…..

!!!!!!!!
!!!!!OH LORD NO!!!
Throwing himself on the floor behind a smashed crate Greg hoped he had been fast enough, If the the thing knew he was here it could just stand in the door and waylay the entire room, it wouldn't even have to know exactly where he was.
He waited for a minute not daring to look up to see if it had left, Eventually the viral killing machine left walking towards the stairs that would take it to the enviro sectors.
Thank you lord, thank you lord, oooohhhh boy I wish I was dead. What am I thanking god for, that things heading for his hiding place, a small electrical service chamber hidden in the wall by the elevator leading down towards the enviros.
Now he didn't have a chance of keeping those suckers out of there. Hold on don't panic, just so long as the security locks aren't opened they cant infect much more thanmabye sectors one or two.
Except the Metroid lab can be accessed from sector 1. They might not even need to open the security locks to get at the lab, they could probably just blast their way in.
Well I guess its off to sector 1 I go.
