Message #13.

To Samus Aran.

From: Ridley.

Subject: You Missed Me.

Ahh, ha ha ha, defeated again, bounty hunter. It feels good in my new body, to stretch my wings and fly through space. I am the pinnacle of perfection among my people, and now I am invincible.

You lost me in the atmosphere, and now finding me won't be easy. But I only want to be here to watch you suffer and die. There are some ruins of your people not far from your position. If you head there you can stop postponing the inevitable. The ruins are filled creatures who killed your people, and it is a fitting end to your story. Either fight through them or die trying. Either way I'll be watching the fun from far away.
