Metroid: Regeneration
Chapter 1: The Task
Board room 7-A was on of the smaller board rooms at Galactic Federation's Nahr'kayneea Outpost. It was only able to seat eight. Since there were seven generals at Nahr'kayneea, Samus figured that this meeting she was about to attend was to be between her and the generals of the outpost. The room's walls were covered in white panels, and in the middle was a large, white, conference table surrounded by large white office chairs. Shortly after Samus's arrival to the board room, the generals filed in. The last was General Orlow.
"This is not a formal meeting," said General Orlow, "but more of a debriefing of Samus's mission to investigate space pirate operations on the planet Otocon. For those who are unaware, she arrived only an hour ago, and I believe she has some interesting news for us, since in the past Samus has been most successful in retrieving inside information from the space pirates' operations. I call forth Samus Aran."
"Thank you, General Orlow." Samus, who was seated next to General Orlow, stood up and moved to the front of the room. "I realize my adventures on Otocon caused great controversy, and I still think the honorable General Orlow rejects the idea despite the fact that I have returned in one piece. But I have some rather disturbing news. Upon further investigation of the space pirates' Otocon operations, I discovered that the space pirates are once again hoarding phazon. The Otocon base was equipped with large phazon storage units and equipment used to manipulate the gathered phazon.
"Now, even though I was unable to discover why they are hoarding phazon, I feel something dangerous is looming over our horizon. They have already recreated elite pirates by fusing the phazon with some of their own. If they persist with their phazon research, they may recreate the Omega Pirate. But not only one. If my calculations are correct, they already have enough phazon to create an army of elite pirates, or a small squad of omega pirates. If this were to happen, the space pirates would have the Galactic Federation on their knees begging for mercy; mercy the space pirates would not provide."
General Hallman, from sector D, looked worried. "But that could mean…"
"…The utter annihilation of the Galactic Federation," replied Samus. "This would mean the entire galaxy would fall under control of the space pirates."
"THE SPACE PIRATES MUST BE STOPPED!" yelled General Jack from sector O, slamming his fists on the conference table. This made General Hallman jump.
"Calm down General Jack," General Orlow said, soothingly. That is what this meeting is for; to listen to Samus's report and to devise a plan of action."
The general from sector Q, General Mandate, raised his hand. "May I make a suggestion?"
"Of course, General Mandate, that is why we're here," said General Orlow.
"Well, if the space pirates are hoarding phazon then I suggest we send someone to, what planet was it? Oh yes, Tallon IV. We should send someone to Tallon IV."
"What would that accomplish?" objected General Jack.
"Well, Tallon IV is a major source of phazon ever since the meteor impacted with that planet a while back. So, one can make the conclusion the space pirates returned operations to Tallon IV to retrieve said phazon. In that case, if we can put a stop to the mining of the phazon on the surface of Tallon IV, it will stop the shipment of phazon to Otocon."
"Possibly stopping the space pirates' evil designs," concluded General Orlow. "That is what we shall do. Samus knows Tallon IV very well, so she is the we shall send. Do you understand your mission Samus?"
"Yes, General Orlow. I understand it completely," Samus replied.
"Good. It has come to my knowledge the chozo have returned to Tallon IV and rebuilt a great city. Perhaps they may have some information for you, Samus Aran."
"Yes, General." Samus left the board room.
