44. Chapter 44

Message #44.

To: Ridley.

From: Samus Aran.

Subject: The Blue Marvels I See.

I didn't want to ever feel again, and I imagine it's strange that I've opened up to you recently Ridley. I went from hatred to honesty and openness. What happened is something I cannot explain. When I killed the omega pirate his phazon infected me. Now it urges me to see reason, and I know not why.

From all I have seen it is the corruption that has ravaged this planet, yet now it is part of me and I feel it urging me to make peace. I know it sounds crazy, but I know almost nothing anymore but to keep moving forward.

Now I've found the last of the artifacts and I am coming to the impact crater Ridley. I want to make peace. We want to make peace.
