Chapter: 1
To Samus Aran,
Once again we at the Galactic Federation HQ must call on you in order to insure the safety and protection of the universe, as we know it. The notorious Mother Brain and her space pirate army recently stormed a high security prison, and kidnapped a very dangerous man...at least he was a man until the day he decided to try to escape and got shot and killed. The guards at the prison figured they could have him fixed up and use him as a "super guard", so they had cybernetic implants, and one chip that would allow for him to be controlled only by the high-ranking employees at the prison. Three other bounty hunters and two mercenaries are also being assigned to this mission. If you choose to accept this mission, we will have a com-chip installed until your helmet for easy communication between you and the other five. We have traced the Mother Brains fleet used for the break in to a rather large uncharted asteroid. We hope that you choose to accept this mission, and look forward to receiving a reply from you.
From Galactic Federation HQ
The Galactic Federation had not called in Samus for a long time; so it came, as a bit of a shock to her that so suddenly they would need her. She checked the intergalactic news circuit for any information they had on the prison kidnapping, but they claimed that they had had no prior knowledge about the incident. If the intergalactic news had not known about it that meant that the situation must be much worse then the letter from the Federation had led her to believe, so she decided that she had to accept the mission, for two reasons. The first reason was that she was intrigued that a prison kidnapping had not been documented by the news circuit, and also because it would mean that she was one of the first people who would set foot on the asteroid and be able to document it.
The flight had been long to the HQ, but it was worth it. The adrenalin pumped through her veins as she awaited the briefing of her new mission. When she finally did arrive though, she was having second thoughts as she began to recognize one of the other ships in the hangar towards the briefing room. The ship belonged to a mercenary named Jaxon, she had previously had a relationship with him, but their work had torn the apart. She knew that she could not let feelings get in the way of her work, so she had left him, but she still longed to be with him. As she finally entered the docking bay she decided that she would have to ignore her feeling for him while they were on the mission.
She entered the briefing room in her normal flight suit; she had already sent her power suit so that they could give her the necessary equipment for the mission. She looked around at the other 5 people recruited; she recognized all but one of them, who looked similar to a chozo. At first she thought that she was just imagining it, she knew that the chozo had been wiped out years before, even with as strong of warriors as they had been, but as she neared closer she realized that it was in fact an ancient chozo, possibly the last of its kind. She ended up standing between Jaxon and the chozo during the briefing.
"All of you have had a com-chip designed to meet each and everyone of your own personal standards. We also have programmed in a direct link to the supply office in case you need any weapons sent to you while your there." There was a small pause while everyone chips were handed out, three of which were in armour. "Your ships will all be equipped with necessary equipment, and will be ready for departure 0900 hours tomorrow, we have provided lodging for you all and ask that you get sleep so that you are at your full tomorrow when you leave."
Everyone stood there for a minute, then Samus spoke up, "I think it would be rise if we are entered at different parts of asteroid, then they would have to split their forces into small regiments when they sent them out to find us." She knew that that was the best way to avoid an ambush, but she hadn't thought of that when she said it. She was more thinking in the mind of avoiding Jaxon.
"We will have plenty of time to discuss tactics in the morning, but it's late and I think it would be wise if we go some sleep. You never know what could happen on that asteroid." The chozodian said as a clock chimed 2100.
