Metroid Prime: Dark Hunter
Chapter III - The Hunt Beguins
"Recieving urgent transmition through GF channels." Adam mentions, as a small symbol flashes constantly in the ship's control screens. Samus stares at the transmition signal. 'The Galatic Federation. Even though i left so i could do more, it so seems our paths are always connected. To be urgent, must be something very dangerous.' She thought, pressing the signal button. "Initiating security protocols. Video-transmition from Fleet Admiral Dane." The computer informs Samus as the transmition beguins, with Dane in the other end.
"Samus. We seem to require your hunting services. The space pirates are up to something big once more. Meet me aboard the G.F.S. Olympus for a debriefing, we are stationed in Earth's spacestation." The transmition ends, Samus look up through the window and stares. 'In the past year, the Federation has been able to keep the Space Pirates at bay. The improvements to their arsenal have been escalating very rapidly due the previous threatenings the Space Pirates have caused.'
The computorised Adam's mark flashes as he speaks. "Are we attending to this hiring, Lady?" Her eyes return to the controls. "Yes. The galaxy will only be safe if we all keep fighting for it." She changes the ship's route, and makes full thrust towards Earth.
Upon arrival, it takes only a few moments for Samus to recieve another transmission, which she answers without delay. "Samus, you are authorized to dock onto G.F.S. Olympus. Proceed to the docking bay." The transmition ends, as Samus carefuly flies her ship onto Olympus.
After a smooth landing, it barely takes five seconds for Samus to beam down to the platform from the ship's beaming system. She would already know where to go, the first time was before the planet Norion and fleet were attacked in force, by the space pirates, but a Federation soldier would give her directions anyway, which she nods with her head.
Proceeding through the several doors and gates, she'd arrive at the bridge, where she is met with the Admiral. "Samus, welcome back. Let us waste no time." He turns, proceeding to the ready room, Samus following. Inside it, an holographic projection of the Aurora Unit 242 that greets Samus aswell. "Welcome Samus. I am afraid we meet again under urgent requests." The Aurora speaks, then Dane retaking the conversation. "We have information that the Space Pirates are intending to build a new weapon of mass destruction."
Samus remains silent as always, but her mind starts building consensu once more. 'I wonder what type of weapon. The if not the Metroids, then what? They have tried to replicate and reverse-engineer most of Chozo weapons aswell, with very little success.' Her head turns to Aurora as this speaks. "Through the data gathered, i was able to find two research facilities, in distinct parts of the galaxy." The Aurora unit holographic display is replaced with a galaxy map and the coordinates of each facility. One at the end of a galaxy arm, while the other in the nearly oppost.
"The most remarkable facility is hidden between the galaxy arms. They seem to be developing a new cloning technic and a method to to link this new clones, similar to Metroid's neural network." Samus eyes frowns behind the green semi-transparent visor. 'I already see cleary what they intend to do. With this neural link, Ridley will be able to command his troop with much more ease, possibly even other creatures, humans and other setient creatures if necessary to their foul ends.' The Admiral pulls the facility's location closer, speaking just afterwards. "You must bring this facility to it's end. And as of expected, it will be heavily guarded, but we belive you are up to the task, as always."
The Aurora doesn't even let Samus think a moment this time. "The intel also informs of a new life-being, and how they intend to capture it. Unfortunatly, their survivors on the first encounter were three, and none of them has seen the creature directly. Consider this new creature hostile, and very dangerous." Samus nods, the display being replaced by Aurora Unit 242, and a last mention from Admiral Dane. "One last thing Samus. We will back you up, shall you need assistance. I do not think they are going to let you out as often now. We aswell took the liberty to send the data to your ship, along with the payment details. Good luck Samus." With little more other than a firm nod of her head, she turns to leave the ready room, all the way back to her ship.
"I've recieved the data from the Space Pirate's cloning research station location. I have also set the the route towards it." Samus gets informed as she sat down, starting up the engines. "Thank you." She replies, flying her ship away form the docking bay, and heading in direction of their destination.
