Message #20.

To Ridley.

From: Samus Aran.

Subject: No Reason To Leave.

Look Ridley, we both have a sense of purpose and honor, that's why we survive through every challenge. I owe the chozo my life, and technically so do you. Without motherbrain you would have never risen up to command such a large army of your people. Without her you are nothing.

Now I owe it to the chozo to survive and defeat you. A great evil seems to have ravaged this planet and I will stop it. I have just take the leap and plunged into the magmoor caverns. I have the technology to cross it, and I will do so.

No matter what Ridley, you can't hide from the truth, and that'll never change.
