Message #26.

To Ridley.

From: Samus Aran.

Subject: No One.

I don't need your help I don't need anyone's help. I am Samus Aran, the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy.

The chozo are dead now and I'm all that remains. They were weak and perished because they shied away from the technology that could have saved them. I will not make the same mistake.

I just broke through lab hydra and am heading for lab aether. There's nothing you can do to stop me Ridley, no one can stop me. I will save this planet and all others from malicious lifeforms like you, and I will pry power from your corpse.

Samus Aran, the destroyer of you and your kind.
