SCIENCE TEAM LOG 12.890.24

WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CLONED THE HUNTER, IN APPROXIMATION OF 17 TIMES

TO OUR CONTINUED FRUSTRATION THE CLONED HUNTERS STILL DO NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY USEFUL INSIGHTS ON THE NATURE OF MORPH BALL TECHNOLOGY

UNFORTUNATELY THE CLONED HUNTERS HAVE BECOME IRATE TO THE POINT OF EXTREME VIOLENCE

LACKING ANY OTHER OUTLET WE HAVE DEEMED IT BEST TO ARM THEM HEAVILY AND ALLOW THEM SKIRMISH TIME WITH LOCAL WILDLIFE, ALONG WITH A MODIFIED SERIES OF SMALL EXPLORATION TUNNELS IN THE HOPES OF PROMPTING THEM TO RECALL MORPH BALL TECHNOLOGY BASICS

It was an utter and abject FAILURE. Funding is going to be heavily docked. 17 clones. 17! And not a single one with no amount of drugs, enticement, brain scans, or PSI massages can give up even a single inkling of morph ball tech.

Nothing but feathers and bird screams in those noggins. Oh well. They're good for pest control, and the stationed infantry does have fun watching them beat up the wildlife.

I'd like to imagine she never gets involved. We just cut to Samus periodically, doing utterly mundane things. Shopping for dinner. Out having drinks with someone. Attending an intergalactic charity fund., Checking up on an orphanage she funded. Washing her ship.

Meanwhile the actual 'stars' are some Pirates and/or Marines unlucky enough to land there, maybe along with a feral Samus or two. Utter fucking PANDEMONIUM.

Cut to Samus feeding a bird and doing her space taxes over coffee.

>>
>>36496746
In the Prime series, it just seems like Samus turns into energy (easily seen if you look at the morph ball from the side) rather than actually crawling into fetal position. I like both interpretations, though.
>>
>>36496809
The ball's generally depicted as being a little too small for her to have curled up into anyway. She could probably shrink to fit using Space Bird Magic, but at that point why not just go for the full pokeball solution?
>>
>>36496529
>Samus has a cat in her ship
Somehow I expected something like a random bug from one of the planets that just skitters around. Or a parrot or something.
>>
>>36496809
I had always assumed it was both. That she assumes a fetal state but is in a state of energy that makes it possible, allowing her to feel like she's just freely floating and resting as she commands the sphere along. Also with the assumption it's a very 'safe' and comfortable feeling state.
>>
>>36496834
Also, if she's really that agile in the varia suit, she might as well just crawl.

She's not actually Ridley. She's just disgustingly mutated because she injected herself with Ridley genetics and augmented herself with cybernetics after watching footage and learning about how he murdered her 'parents' and then deciding it'd be best to emulate her supposed killer.

In the end after escape is secured they find him bound and being cooed over by one barely-sapient insectoid Samus.

The funny part is that his arrival is hailed like their ultimate saving, only for him to be torn down and dragged away.

Well she is part Chozo, which are an ancient and technically advanced race who died out. They gave her technology and a nice suit and stuff before that though. Also she is part metroid, a race which mutates when exposed to energy and are super tough and she was exposed to phazon, a super deadly energy source which mutates people but shes okay and still looks like a really hot blond in her suit. Also she can turn into a ball. And she killed all sorts of pirates and blows up planets too!

And why? Seriously wondering; not trolling even if it does sound like it lol

I mean, instead of everyone being various classes of human, they'd just be different "classes" (clones) of Samus.

See, I played Fusion, and I remember her absorbing Samus X. What I don't get is how absorbing her freaky space parasite doppelganger (my but she does accumulate those) with her new space vampire genes somehow resets her to some kind of genetic save state. Did they ever specifically say that she'd been reset in-game?

I love Fusion. It was literally Alien Resurrection: Samus. Nothing in it ever said Samus was 'reset' and lost her Metroid genetics.
>>
>>36498533
Maybe Phazon Gooball Samus can ooze through TUUUBES? That could be a perk, I guess?

>>36498548
Not exactly what I meant... but maybe not a bad idea, either. Maybe each part of her hideously haphazard DNA is trying to get her to do wildly different things?
>>
>>36498582
No, you don't understand. It's not about interacting with tubes, all samuses can do that. It's the love, the obsession, the uselessness. I gotta be a space pirate man.

It wasn't in game. It was in an FAQ with Sakamoto that was released alongside Zero Mission but never got outside Japan.

A lot of things really shouldn't leave Japan.
>>
>>36498561

Nigger, when she absorbed the SAX it neutralized the Metroid DNA, Thats how she was able to use the Ice beam to defeat the Omega Metroid.

Her vulnerabilty to cold is why she couldn't use Ice weapons until them.

>>36498606
Neutralized? Bitch, it gave her the ice beam powers which allowed her to use it and also be immune to it. She is Metroid PLUS now, stupidass. Metroid + ICE.

Disregarded and ignored. Thanks.
>>
>>36498649

Are you fucking serious?
>>
>>36498675
Yes? Nothing in the game stated that wasn't the case. Why the hell would she STOP being part-Metroid after eating an Ice Beam SA-X?
>>
>>36498698
Occam's Razor

It's more sensible that she would lose the factor that inhibited ice use rather than gaining more immunity.
>>
>>36498718
That's not Occam's Razor. It still makes no sense. She absorbed her strongest suit and the Ice Beam which granted her the power to use the beam and a suit that kept her safe from it, and then nuked the Omega and became Queen Fuckbitch Metroid Overlord.
>>
>>36498606
That makes no sense. The metroid DNA that lets her snack on Xes like energy bars gets overwhelmed and eliminated by a not-particularly-large X that just happened to look like her? Even if that did happen, now she's got the X infection again, but without her souped-up immune system. Which means, guess what, goodbye Samus. She'd be dead before that omega metroid got anywhere near her.

>>36498595
Someone should introduce Sakomoto and George Lucas. I feel that they would have much to talk about.

I want art of Samus looking grumpy in a fluffy sweater. Or classy in one. Or both.

Alternative hypothesis: She absorbed the Varia suit into her DNA twice.
>>
>>36498728
Yeah it;s 1am razor

Still i figure the reduction makes just as much sense and is a bit closer to a good end.

>>36498744
That's also a good point.
>>
>>36498698

Because their DNA is incompatible which is why metroid DNA was used in the vaccine.
It stands to reason that a parasitic clone of herself would neutralize the changes made to her by the metroid cells as the SAX was based on her unaltered genetic template that the parasite had originally encountered and infected.
>>
>>36498748
This just doubles the theory. All she did was absorb the Ice Beam power she needed. She was ALREADY immune to Ice-X and extreme temps, what she wanted was the Metroid-killer beam from the final X.
>>
>>36491869
Mongoose Traveller
>>
>>36498728
The other reason it makes sense to lose the metroid is that she gets the Varia suit back. The rest of her Fusion suits were all... fusion-y... but the last suit looked just like her normal suit.
>>
>>36498756
...she needed Metroid DNA to even absorb and survive the X. Why would eating one 'neutralize' it? Why not just allow her to become the ultimate Hunter with the Metroid DNA and eat the doppelganger?

>>36498773
It wasn't. It was her Fusion suit, just in her classic colors.
>>
>>36498755
>Still i figure the reduction makes just as much sense and is a bit closer to a good end.

I mean, Samus can have Metroid DNA and be fine. That's still a good end, and it's even poetic. It's a parallel again to Alien and also makes her that which she hunted to extinction, her life saved by the baby twice and bonded with it, and she's also bonded with the very creature her own parent species created to save the galaxy.
>>
>>36498773
It actually didn't. She never got the shoulder things (which you can see on the SA-X's in-game sprite but never on Samus), and if you look at one of the Eng Mission screens it shows her in an orange fusion suit.

Also in Metroid Prime itself, it's the Fusion suit with the Varia colors. But yeah her end game mission screen shows her with it.

We need to face facts. Samus is forever a member of the Turtleneck Sweater Club. We just have to live with it.
>>
>>36498854

But Prime takes place before Fusion.
>>
>>36498867
But if you plug in a GBA with fusion in it then you can use the Fusion suit, lots of people believe this means its post fusion, which is the dumb.

...it was a tie-in bonus. Not literal. In Prime, if you own Fusion, you can hook the games up and have the Fusion suit as a skin in Prime. When you gain the Phazon suit, you get the Varia colors on your Fusion suit. For fuck's sake, anon.

Look. It was the only choice they had. Honorary Science Team Member Federation Marine Human Codenamed 'Sally' suggested that since there was 87 known cold-vulnerable clones, and it was going to be cold for the next two days, and there was only 50 extra-soft sweaters in the crate, that the resulting war for control of the sweaters might whittle their numbers down and buy they at LEAST a day of safe time to do recon and scavenge for supplies.

Well, 48 sweaters. Honorary Science Team Member Hunter Clone X-77837 #16 Codenamed 'Sammy' and Honorary Science Team Member Hunter Clone X-76437 #3 Codenamed 'Samuel' both claimed one for themselves.

Sammy wanted four of them, but was denied permission with the diplomatic persuasion of Honorary Science Team Member Federation Marine Human Codenamed 'Torrence'.

Science Team makes sacrifices to stride ever forward. DESPITE allegations of gaseous substance for gray matter.

>>36496834
I thought it was a full poke'ball solution? It's the 'meditation morph ball', because it turns her into energy, freeing her from fleshiness and allowing her to focus her thoughts.
>>
>>36499074
That's just what she says. She doesn't care about being free from flesh. She just loves being a sphere and able to sneak and hide in little dark passages, the fucking birdbrain.
>>
>>36499106
You ever think Samus giggles to herself just a little when she wreaks havoc in a pirate base, then rolls into a ball and sneaks off through an air vent? I know I would.
>>
>>36499137
It's like the wive's tale about the ostrich with its head in the ground. She feels safe and IMMORTAL when she's hiding in some vent in her little sneaky morph ball mode.

I'd love a game like Alien: Isolation, except replace the Alien with Samus.

But under desks or beds are the best places to hide, but with Samus just rolling around that wouldn't be an option.

Obviously, rolling would only be a thing that happens later in the game to get you. At first, vents and beds SEEM safe.

For double Phazon?
>>
>>36504823
Try to make it immune to ice weapons.

>>36504569
Inject it into the Chozo ghosts. Sure they don't have corporeal bodies, but surely SCIENCE! will prevail.
>>
>>36504882
I suspect that you would get a promotion. Maybe become Chief Scientist if you managed to use your double phazon on tubes.
>>
>>36505114

...I was thinking of using it on another sample of Double Phazon. Thus creating Quad-Phazon.

Then Octo-Phazon.

I figure I'd stop somewhere around Mega or Kilophazon when I accidentially drop some on the floor. and it melts through to the core of the planet turning it into a sentient Phazon Planet that eats other planets and spits giant Phazon Asteroids at things it does like.

>>36505149

doesn't like even. In fact it just spits Phazon Asteroids everywhere and at everything.
