Coded Messages: Ridley's Plea

by theclownsarethere

After the events of metroid 1, Ridley reaches out to Samus in an attempt to break free of mother brain during her second uprising. This piece is told in a series of e-mail like messages between the two as they battle away, but come to a greater understanding of each other.

27. Chapter 27

Message #27.

To: Samus Aran.

From: Ridley.

Subject: Off the Beaten Path.

No matter what happens you will never escape your problems. Killing me won't bring the chozo back and nothing else will.

You have no need to continue to fight me like this. Sure we'll do our best to survive but that's it. If we die our blood is on your hands. The chozo were wiser than us all, even mother brain regrets what she did to them, and so do I.

So let's just think for a minute and not be so rash.

Ridley: A willing friend through these hard times who hasn't given up yet.
