Hey
guys, I haven't updated for a while, so some of the things said here
may have been said in previous chapters, but all the info here is
better
described.
Chapter
3: Metroid Breed N/A
"Why are you so worried about this
metroid in particular?" I asked.
'Samus, each new breed
of metroid you've had an encounter with has proven to be more
menacing than the last. I have a bad feeling about this unidentified
metroid, we don't know what to anticipate from it. You should proceed
with extreme caution, I fear for your safety.' 'I... I
understand'
'The metroids have been here on SR388 for a few
months, they may have adapted to some sudden environmental
disturbance. There are many reasons this new breed may have arrived.
I will keep studying this species and update you on any information I
come up with.'
'Thanks Adam. I'll be careful'
Upon approaching the door, the metal layers pulled away and
dissapeared into the wall. I stepped into the next room cautiously.
Adam must have been worried about me, so I didn't want to cause any
more reason for him to be. Nothing threatening was in the room that I
could see. A couple of indegenous creatures scurried amoungst the
walls, they were called zoomers.
I recalled my database on
these creatures. Zoomers
anchor themselves to walls and other surfaces. The zoomer has spines
sticking out of it's back that prove to be harmful to my suit. A
basic nerve center is located above the Zoomer's jaws that detect
nutrients. The sharp spines protect it from casual predators, but the
lack of a reinforced carapace makes the Zoomer vulnerable to less
physical attacks such as missiles. The zoomer that is further into
it's evelutionary state is called a geemer. Geemers are a much more
fomidible foe compared to their relatives. When harm threatens the
geemer, it retracts it's spikes and hides it's head deep within the
carapace. Geemers are definately dominent between the two.
As for the floristics of the room, this planet has strange habbits
for all of it's life, plant or animal. Not many of the plants I've
seen are common anywhere else. This room had vines clinging to the
walls and roof. Sap sacs hung in corners. I can sometimes use sap
sacs to my advantage. They are highly explosive and contain toxins
that can eat through my suit. When they are subjected to impact or
trauma, they burst. This responce keeps creatures from feeding on it,
and I can cause them to burst on my enemies. The other plant life I
spotted was tangle weed. Tangle weed was not harmful to me, but only
to small organisms, all they do is hinder me with a special barbed
featured it uses to trap prey. When threatened tangle weed hides
within the ground. Everything on SR388 amazed me, even weeds seemed
to have some intelligence.
Lots
of the rooms had similar features as this one, it was the common look
for the environment of less threatening creatures. I advanced furthur
to the next room.
A
strange thing about this planet is that there are no extra
intelligent life forms, yet there are functional machines and
elevators throughout the planet. These devices may have been
installed by the Chozo or the Space pirates. Perhaps you should know
about the space pirates. They are a race more intelligent than
humans. Their wit met that of the Chozo, yet they had terroristic
intentions. Gradually the Chozo and Space Pirates learned about the
things that puzzled them, which consisted mainly of metroids. I was
brought in by the Chozo, and my blood was fused with Chozo blood, so
I became capable of way more things than a normal human. They had
also given me my suit made from advanced Chozo sciences. The
weaponary for the pirates was incredibly more fearsome. They studied
the metroids and tried to harness their power to enhance their
technology. After I destroyed Ridley and his enormous brother Kraid,
the space pirates split into two groups. One group rebuilt their base
and tried to resuscitate the Kraid and Ridley, while the other set
out to find a planet with some energy to harness. My assignments
often force me to come into contact with them, and at those times I
am in extreme danger.
After I exited
the room, I was interrupted by Adam. 'Lady, the metroids appear to
have surfaced. Apparently the new breed has been free and roaming
about on the outside of the planet for some time.'
"Thanks
Adam, I'll try to find an elevator to surface and check it out some
more.'
'There should be one just ahead, in the door to your
left.' I listened to Adam and walked into the room. It had an
elevator alright. I activated it and stepped on. I started to rise
slowly. 'I think I've got something on that metroid.' He said after a
few seconds of silence.
'yes?' i was anxious to hear the
news.
K,
that's it for now. I'm proud of this chapter, best one so far, probly
the longest :P
And I hope you guys are anxious too :P
