Fadley was sweating. The fact that the air conditioning on the ship was broken didn't help. His worrying gave him awful indigestion. He walked over the bridge to a nearby first aid kit. The bridge of the ship was stylized in chrome and looked complicated. It used to belong to Bailey Shipping Company, but Bailey had gone bust right after this ship was made and so it sold on g-bay for a down to earth price. Fadley was lucky to get it in such good condition; usually these ships were a mess because they were made to carry food.
The first aid kit was useless, all the painkillers were gone. It was said that a bit of Phazon radiation was a good painkiller, but it was also said that Phazon was a good killer. Fadley turned round and searched for a seat to relax in. This was not good; he had several illegal out-law Space Pirates on board, a stolen super weapon and a mentally unstable woman. Fadley jumped when Samus came out of her dormitory and walked up the steps and sat in a chair beside him.
"You're in a good mood", he said
"I decide to talk to Sumas and stop my….." she paused in mid-sentence to think of a suitable word, "alterations"
"Who the hell is Sumas?"
"He's the demon possessing me"
"WHAATT! How can you say that so calmly?"
"He really is a nice guy…"
"When he tries to kill?"
A slight pause, then Fadley calmed down, "What are you going to do now?"
"To finish what I began…." she smiled, like when a cat sees a mouse.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean to settle my differences, not all the Space Pirates hate me…and what you've told me of the GF, I need to sort things out. I go there and tell them I've gone into a Cryo-chamber to relax. They'll re-hire me and then by accident, I slip up. Things blow up, some criminals are released. Put the whole galaxy into panic."
Fadley looked uncertain, and then suddenly she felt, what she thought was, his feelings. Anxiety, stress and something, betrayal? No thoughts of betraying wait…
"Are you alright?" Fadley broke her mind reading.
"Yeah, just thinking, you don't look very well, are you ok?"
Fadley coughed exasperatedly, "Just a Space cold". Fadley really put on a show when he was ill, he would lie in bed and 'play' naughty VR programs, and otherwise he would fall around corridor complaining of stomach pains.
Another conscience awoke in her body, it was Sumas, he seemed in a happy mood, "So what does your Kixi say?"
"Kixi?"
"Life partner"
"He isn't" Samus could imagine this monster rolling its eyes, it was funny and so she giggled. Fadley looked at her suspiciously, "What? Are you OK?"
"Oh it's nothing, I was just thinking." Fadley still looked suspicious, Samus decided to look out the spaceship's front window into space. It was dark and lonely, there were very few planets in sight, wasn't that what Fadley had told her about the terrorists, that could move planets? This was a new world she had been chucked into, would have it been different if she had been there? Could she have stopped thousands of people getting killed? She was getting angry at herself for entering that cave, setting off that spirit, why was she so noisy? It killed billions and she was happy as ever? The terrorists weren't the murderers, she was, she could have stopped them. She was useless to the world, she was a poison.
"Oh please…"
"What?"
"Stop feeling sorry for yourself!"
"I am not!"
"You are not yet the poison, but continue in that attitude and you soon will be!"
"Why are you arguing with me?"
"You may not like it but we are bonded no matter how much you try to get away!"
"You're not my father!"
"You don't know your father!"
That had hit hard, Samus stood there shaking, it was happening again, black spots in front of her eyes, NO, she had to fight it! She was going to part in any destruction yet! She tried to focus on something, but the room was too bland, nothing struck out. She felt regret pass her conscience, was Sumas feeling sorry? Maybe he didn't know, she didn't know either about any of her parents. She was orphaned as a young girl on the planet of K-2L when the Space Pirates raided it. She was brought up by Chozo and trained as a warrior, but her family was missing, she may be human but she didn't feel like it. Something was missing, there was a huge hole in her and she didn't know what could fill it in. Killing only distracted her from it but it didn't fill up the hole. She felt craving for truth, and what she thought was right. It was time to do something after a decacycle, it was time to be the Hunter behind the visor once more.
