You arrive at the Zebesian asteroid field. Once, there was a planet. On that planet, you were raised by the Chozo to be the Defender. What would they say, now? You're an outlaw, your suit is a mess, and the planet that was once the great center of Chozo civilization is now mere debris.
Well, fuck that. This is the mission where everything goes back to normal. You prepare to dock with the Pirate vessel, getting your coveted Ice Beam ready for some ass-whuppin', when Adam interrupts you.
"Samus, are you sure this is smart? Your employer has not shown his face, his voice was encrypted, and he sent you to an active Pirate vessel. Don't you think you should simply destroy the ship and leave?"
Well, Adam's pretty smart, for your ship's computer. Then again, destroying SR388 obviously didn't guarantee the extinction of the X, as they're present onboard the vessel. Would simply destroying the vessel kill off the X once and for all?
