Been sitting on this one for awhile, but:
Plot Idea! - SI wakes up as/in a suit of Ancient Chozo Power Armor that's been upgraded/hybridised with Commander Tech.
SI, on waking up: "....Shit... Welp, step 1: Obtain Dimensional Travel. Step 2? Head over to Crysis, assimilate a suit, and print myself a damn body with a sense of taste.... Nobody deprives me of my Doritos. Nobody."
-Some Years Later-
Chozo Hologram: Samus, dear child, you must venture forth to the next room where your challenge stands in stasis. It is, a terrible foe, a remnant of our sealing of an enemy from far off lands. Though we had long prayed its power would remain unneeded, your cause is just, and your heart is stalwart. Go, Child, face the Statue, and grasp your destiny."
Samus: *opens door, finds room empty* "Wait, what?" *engages scanner mode, finds message carved into a wall, next to where it'd been blasted open*

Of course, I didn't want to deprive you of the job experience gained by getting here, so I decided to circumvent the traditional maze of Chozo architecture, Nanoha-Style! Moreso, in keeping with Chozo tradition, I have built a maze of my own on the other side of this laser tu- er, passage. Yes, on the other side of this carefully constructed passage, is a maze containing a replica of my current body and the tech you're undoubtedly seeking. Love, Avery.'
Samus: *Grumbles internally, tears through the additional maze, finds a room. Scans room with Vizor*
'Dear Samus, I, uh, d...' "Motherfu-!"
