STORY

I had gone to planet SR388 to destroy the Metroids. After a deadly struggle I managed to defeat the Queen Metroid, and as I was preparing to return, a baby Metroid hatched before my eyes.

As I was the first thing the baby saw, it took me to be its mother.

I felt that studying the baby might produce some peaceful applications, so I took it back to the Galactic Federation.

But that baby Metroid was attacked in the middle of an experiment and fell into the hands of the Space Pirates, who were led by Mother Brain.

In the hopes of rescuing the baby, I infiltrated the stronghold controlled by Mother Brain on planet Zebes.

But Mother's overwhelming power brought me to the brink of death.

And then the strangest thing began to restore vigor to my spirit's light, which was so close to going out.

"Why am I still alive..."

The baby protected me from Mother Brain's attack.

It gave me power.

And then the baby was destroyed above my head...

"Mother... Time to go!"

Mother Brain, the Space Pirates, and the Metroids were terminated along with the planet Zebes.

I don't know how much time passed since then. I was traveling in my Star Ship when I unexpectedly received a signal.

Code name: "Baby's Cry."

A common SOS with the urgency of a baby crying...

The nickname comes from the fact that the purpose of the signal is to draw attention.

The signal was coming from a remote part of space. I altered the course of my ship as if this detour had already been part of my flight plan.

Baby's Cry...

It was as though it was crying specifically for me...

-Samus Aran-
