Metroid Dread[]

First encounter[]

  • "Power... is everything."

Posing as ADAM[]

  • "So, you've accessed a network station. Well done, Samus. I have reviewed your vital signs and video log from the data you uploaded. I've run a full analysis. But I cannot account for why you lost consciousness. My readings indicate dramatic physical changes in you. Whatever caused these changes seems to have stripped you of most abilities. You might call it physical amnesia. That brings me to your assailant. I am checking the Federation database against your video log. It appears to have been a Chozo. The attacker's identity is not yet clear. I have determined that you are somewhere within the depths of ZDR. Your top priority should be to return to your ship on the surface. This situation is…precarious. Trust your instincts as you navigate upward. This planet appears to consist of multiple areas. Shuttles, elevators, and other modes of transport connect them. Keep an eye out for ways to reach the surface. The ship's location is marked on your global map. Check it for yourself. You may encounter pockets of low temperature. Your Metroid DNA renders you vulnerable to such environments. Spending time in cold areas will be harmful to you. There are many such cold areas scattered underground. Do not enter them with your basic Power Suit. One final thing. Underground interference is preventing radio transmissions. Check in with me at any network stations you find."
  • "Both E.M.M.I. you encountered were clearly trying to capture you. They may have been hacked. If so, it's reasonable to assume all E.M.M.I. will be hostile. E.M.M.I. send out a pulse to detect vibrations in the air within a certain range. Essentially, they can hear you. Upon detecting vibrations, an E.M.M.I. enters surveillance mode to track their source. Stay out of their line of sight when this happens. Otherwise, the danger to you increases dramatically. An E.M.M.I. that has seen you will begin pursuit. Part of the pursuit protocol is to seal the E.M.M.I. Zone exits. You will be trapped inside. To survive, you must leave its range of pursuit. Evade the E.M.M.I. and it will disengage. This will also unseal the exits. An E.M.M.I. will never leave its assigned Zone. Their control system must permit them to operate only within that range. I estimate a 99% probability of death if an E.M.M.I. captures you. There may be a very small opportunity to escape. But exploiting this window will be virtually impossible. The E.M.M.I. are immune to your current weapons. You lack the unique energy used to defeat the first E.M.M.I. Your only option now is to evade capture and find an exit. Your highest priority in an E.M.M.I. Zone should simply be to survive."
  • "There was no record of your assailant in the Federation database. However, there are records of a Chozo warrior tribe. There is a strong possibility the two are connected. You have seen the warrior tribe's architecture and artifacts on this planet.I conclude that this is one of their settlements. But why would someone lead you here and send the E.M.M.I. after you? The footage of the X parasite may have been staged to lure you in. The situation remains unclear. But your priority hasn't changed. You must return to the ship. You have activated the magma supply system. That has restored power to the closed thermal doors. Seek them out to proceed. Continue to search for the unique energy you employed against the first E.M.M.I. It is the only way to confront them. Unfortunately, this energy is limited. You may have noticed it dissipating after an E.M.M.I. is destroyed. There are six remaining E.M.M.I. hunting you. You have no means to confront them. Remember that."
  • "It appears your Metroid DNA has caused you to become a Metroid. Ordinarily, this would have happened immediately after the DNA transplant. Your Thoha genes must have slowed down the process. They were the only tribe capable of controlling the Metroids. Though you possess their DNA, you are not a Thoha. Your physical prowess suggests that you must also possess Mawkin DNA. Metroids are programmed to identify Mawkin as enemies. This suggests one thing to me. It is very probable that your metamorphosis occurred as a result of Raven Beak's attack. His presence awakened the Metroid's killer instinct. Since then, your metamorphosis has accelerated. It can no longer be controlled. You are now a Metroid, Samus Aran. Your very existence poses a grave threat to the galaxy. However, there is no need to fear. You need only use your new powers correctly."
  • "You have followed my instructions faithfully so far. Continue to do so. It's that simple. I consider your performance here on ZDR highly satisfactory. As I hoped, it has even awakened your Metroid powers. I was right to let you live during our first encounter. That one glimpse you showed told me everything. Submit and offer up your power. My plan is the only way to bring order to the galaxy. Fulfill your destiny, Samus. This is an order. Disobedience will not be tolerated."

As Himself[]

  • "You disappoint me... my daughter."
  • "Did you truly believe you could defeat me? You overestimate yourself. You no longer serve any purpose. Even your Metroid DNA is no longer necessary. Do you want to know why? It is now because I can clone an army of the most powerful Metroid of all... Samus Aran. No one can stand in my way, not even you. Foolish daughter... Leave the galaxy to me. Close your eyes and rest. Power... is everything."

Unused Quote[]
