Samus not having that tech makes some amount of sense. But her not having offered some of the Chozo Medical Tech to the federation for seed money on her career is implausible.

"Hey, alien bird dad, can I steal some of your technology to sell to some skooks who might not use it well?"

"Sure, part-bird human child."

"Thanks, alien bird dad!"

If the Chozo wanted the Federation to have this tech, they'd have given it. Samus wouldn't need to have given it; the Chozo would have done it themselves.

Now I'm imagining the Chozo giving Samus tech to sell to the Feds like a parent would give their kid pocket change.
 
And now, for some reason, I'm imagining the adventures of Chicken Chozo Boo.

    • She turned to a panel to her right, and immediately scanned it.

    [=]​

    "Whoa, what?" A man right behind the console stared at the screen, as it proceeded to flicker.

    "What is it?" The officer said.

    "The goddamn door controls are going haywire!" He said.

    The officer stared at the console, then turned to look at the monitor. "...Oh...oh."

    [=]​

    "Standard GF high-security clearance." Samus said, simply. "It'll take about two extra seconds." Suddenly, the doors in front of her groaned. "Finished."

    [=]​

    The group inside of the bunker heard the heavy, loud doors right outside of their room groaning as they were hacked. The man behind the console just stared in silent horror, while the officer just sighed.

    "...This is how she infiltrated so much of the pirate bases, isn't it?" He asked.

    [=]​

    "How did you...?"

    "I can communicate with the computers instantly." Samus said, before she tapped her helmet. "My scan visor doubles as a brain-to-OS interface...to me, it is as though time freezes."

    "...Okay, I don't need more of an explanation."

    Samus shrugged, as the doors clanged, now fully-open. "...I can now access this particular bunker. Maybe we'll find some survivors." They walked through the door, before Samus glanced at a similar panel on the other side. With that, the doors started to close, locking them inside.

    [=]​

    "She's here." The officer murmured, as he stood up. "Alright, we're going to give her a nice introduction."

    "Damn right." Higgs said, standing up to his full height. "...A salute."

    "What, for the crazy technoarmor guy who just busted in our bunker?" The guy behind the console asked. "She fucking broke in! We're all in danger-!"

    "Well, if you mean that the whole station could explode, then yes." The officer said. "I suppose that is a danger. If you get on her bad side. Make sure not to do that."

    "Wait, what?" Suddenly, the door in front of them shifted open, and the newer members of the squad all aimed their guns right at the intruder.

    Right as they did, Samus raised her cannon, and aimed it right at them. Ice covered her cannon, and the room immediately felt several degrees colder. "...Wait, the fuck kind of gun is that?!" Nova growled.

    "An ice beam." Higgs said. "...Chozo tech."

    "Chozo...what?"

    "At ease." The officer said, as he took a step forwards. "...I'll handle contact here."

    Samus turned to look at the officer, and immediately aimed her gun at him. She stared down the barrel for several seconds, before realization stepped in. She dropped her cannon just by a few inches. "...Adam?"

    "It's been a while, hasn't it?" He said. "...Lady?"

    Samus's eyes narrowed. Her suit dissolved, as she slowly walked towards him. She stared into his eyes, quietly muttering to herself. She walked towards him, and it was then that Adam realized that Samus was easily two inches taller than he was.

    And it was then that Samus Aran decked him in the face.

    [=]​

    • I must admit, while I don't share the loathing for Other M that is prevalent in this thread, this last scene felt immensely satisfying.
     
    For the people who've never played Other M, would someone explain whats happening?

    Basically a scene superficially similar happened there where Samus ran into her ex-superior officer and he called her a nickname she hated. Except there all she did was silently take it and proceed to let him boss her around like a mindless robot. Like, she literally walks through fire at one point with her fire proofing off cause he didn't say she could turn it on.

    So yea, you could say that it is satisfying to see this Samus deck him before he can even think to start that shit.
     
    Huh, Samus Aran punching someone in anger relatively unprovoked does feel a bit...unexpected because of the loss of control it implies...but on the other hand, Adam. Other M. And there's clearly a reason for it.

    And wasn't she okay with "Lady" coming from Adam, even in Metroid Fusion?

    "He called me "Lady" on missions; from anyone else, it would've sounded sarcastic, but Adam made it sound dignified."

    So Other M even managed to botch the catchphrase from the previous game.
     
    It's a door, it's operational, OBVIOUSLY it must be the only way forward. Because this is Metroid. Just check for an eyeball on the hatch. That's usually a good sign of a boss battle.

    "Adam? But... you're dead!"

    "I got better."

    Yeah, Samus didn't mind Adam calling her Lady. So Moid, I know you hate Other M, but you are going to need to explain why she punched Adam that's something besides him calling her by that nickname.

    ...Possibly for being a relatively high-ranked individual on a ship filled with GF law violations, horrors, and space pirates, all of which seem to be taken from places Samus has been?
     
    "I was holding back with that punch, Malkovich." Samus rolled her fist around and cracked her neck. "Now do tell me why I find you, of all people, on a ship that's filled with GF law violations, crimes against sentient life, and the dead bodies of an untold number of human beings?"

    Adam cracked his neck and wiped his jaw. A thin trail of blood leaked from his broken lip. "I thought you liked that nickname." He muttered, ignoring her speech.

    Samus' eyes narrowed. "The punch wasn't related to the nickname, Adam." Samus said. "It felt like an appropriate thing to do." She frowned, as the other officers just stood there, dumbfounded. "How many are here?"

    "You punch me, and you still expect me to talk." Adam laughed a little, before he cracked his jaw a little. "That's the 'Lady' I know."

    "Well, how many?"

    "Four of us." He said. "You can recognize Higgs." The tall man waved, with his muscles flexing through his shirt. He wore a pair of denim overalls, and on his back was a minigun. "There's Nova." He motioned to the woman with a cigarette in her mouth and a gun trained on Samus. "Charles." The last man's eyes darted between them. He was a head shorter than Samus was, and just raised his hand. "We're all that's left of the original rescue team."

    "Rescue team?" Samus frowned. "...I have to rescue the rescue team. I suppose this is what to expect, Adam."

    Malkovich clenched his teeth and wiped his split lip. "Lady-"

    She cut him off. "The only survivor I've found so far is this woman here." She motioned to Chloe. "...Security Guard. Officer Chloe Sullivan."

    Chloe's eyes darted between Samus, then the officer. "Uh...do you two have...a...uh...a history?"

    "Took the words right out of my mouth." Charles muttered.

    "More than you know." Higgs said.

    Chloe paused...before her mouth opened in a wide "Oh". She blushed a little and took a step backwards.

    "Not that kind of history." Higgs muttered.

    Chloe blushed even harder. "...Uh...sorry."

    Do... do Samus and Adam have a history with a geographical feature, as well?

    EDIT: And no, I don't know why my eyes were drawn to that one word. I just looked at the block of text, my brain analysed it and said "It's babies all the way down, except for here". I didn't even really read it, like my eyes didn't go back and forth or anything, I just read the whole block at once and noticed that immediately.

Her hair flowed out, as the rest of the team just stared in silence.

    • "So I trust that you have been here for only a small amount of time?" Samus asked.

    "The past twenty hours." Adam said back as he stood up. "We were called here when the blood started flowing."

    "Is FTL communication still possible?"

    Adam laughed a little. "If it was, we wouldn't be stuck here relying on your help."

    Samus narrowed her eyes. "...And what of any other survivors?"

    "I wish I knew." Adam said. "I had one contact with some people in a sector they called the 'Pyrosphere', but that was before one of those creatures impaled and ate half of my team."

    "...Did it have multiple eyes around a mouth, which covered yet another eye?" Samus asked.

    Adam paused. "...Yes."

    Chloe's jaw dropped slightly as Samus dismissively stared at him. "...Your team needs work, Adam."

    Adam paused. "You killed it, didn't you?"

    Samus tapped her helmet neck, and a visor appeared in front of her face. She tapped it once, and a flurry of information formed in front of her face. "It took me precisely three minutes and twelve seconds."

    "You always were an efficient killer." Adam smiled.

    "I don't need your praise, Malkovich." Samus turned

    "I wasn't trying to shower it on you. Just stating a simple fact."

    Samus grimaced. "If you are honestly trying to regain my favor just to make up for-"

    "I swear to you that isn't the purpose, Lady." Malkovich said, simply.

    Samus glared at him again. "Then tell me why I don't believe you?"

    Adam paused. He looked at the ceiling, then at her. "...Because...because..."

    "How disappointing." She frowned. "...Now a decision from the rest of the team. Do you want to stay in here, or would you rather attempt to scout the rest of the station? I am not responsible for the loss of life, though if you come, I will do my best to protect you."

    The people inside of the bunker paused, before Higgs stepped forwards. "I'm willing to volunteer."

    Samus glanced at him. "...Alright. That's one."

    Nova looked between the both of them, before she moved. "Same."

    Charles looked at them all, then stepped back. "...Fuuuuuuuuck that."

    Chloe stepped forwards, and noticed Samus looking at her.

    "Are you sure?" Samus asked.

    "I...yes." She nodded. "I am."

    Samus clenched her teeth. "Sullivan, I hope you realize that having you around, as you are right now, is more likely to endanger the team unless we find you a proper medical station, right?"

    She nodded. "

    Adam looked between them, before he shook his head. "I'll stay behind and provide orders."

    "Orders?" Samus raised an eyebrow. "I am not part of the Federation, Malkovich."

    "It isn't for you, Samus." He said. "...I still have eyes over much of the station. I can provide info over the comm."

    "And I'll try getting more of it online." Charles said. "Yeah! That's my plan! And shit."

    Samus shrugged. "Then it's settled. I will be looking over these two." Samus said.

    "Wait, two?" Chloe asked.

    "You aren't coming with us." Samus said. "I am going to drop you at my ship. If something goes wrong, you can just fly to the nearest GF-controlled planet."

    Chloe clenched her teeth. "What?!"

    "As for the rest of you..." Samus grabbed Chloe by the shoulder, and pulled a paralyzer gun out of her suit. "I will cover you as well as I can, but you are still responsible for your own lives." She clicked once on her chest, then once on her head, and her suit and helmet reformed over her body. "First move is that we put Chloe back in a safe location. Second move is that we continue forwards."

    "Got it." Anthony said. "Let's move."

    • No offense, but Chloe has no place in combat right now. She is severly injured and needs medical attention. Even if she wants to fight, she isn't really capable of fighting.

    In her situation who would you rather stay with, The unstoppable bounty hunter or the team of marines who just admitted to losing half their people to a monster said bounty hunter killed in 3 minutes and 12 seconds?
