I just realized.

Yanno, it just occured to me that if Samus and Adam didn't report back after destroying the station the Feds would have no way to tell if she was still alive.
The last report they got from Adam would have been that Samus was secured in the data room and then, BOOM.
Now the jig would be up the second Samus goes back to bounty hunting of course but she could lay low for a while to give herself some running room and let the incident blow over.

In Metroid 5, Samus infiltrates a GFed facility to get to the bottom of the whole operation, all stealthy like.

she's done it once, damn right she will again.

Maybe the never existed. Maybe the Fusion incident was all a simulation, including the enemies, the vaccine, and maybe even ADAM being a neuralnet-copy of the deceased Commander Malkovich.

Think of it - as advanced as the tech in the Metroid 'verse is, making a near-lifelike virtual simulation environment is not implausible, and using things like a new suit or mimicry-using enemies to explain away potential anomalies in perception would be a perfect coverup.

Until Fusion, there is no mention whatsoever about the , who are oh-so-conveniently all confined to a single spacestation and oh-so-conveniently completly eradicated when the mission is over. At least Phazon spread across enough planets that it left some degree of effect to show where it had been, even if the destruction of Phaaze chain-reactioned all of it eventually into nonexistence.

Face it, Fusion never took place except in a GFed supercomputer and Samus' own mind.

You're saying this like you actually believe it. Do you really think this is what Nintendo is doing?

The entire series is basically a rehash of Roseanne.

You can't download a ballistic weapon into the real world like a music album on your iPod.

Why not ? I don't think any man from the middle age thought that someday we could go in space, watch crappy television show, eat peanut butter banana sandwich or discuss stuff with people around the four corner of the world instantaneously.

Nevertheless, you're theory is sounded !

[Final light]

My theory is they sent Samus into BSL with complete knowledge that the x were there just to test the metroid vaccine. If it worked they would mass produce it. If it failed they would have a Samus clone running around the station that they would most likely find a way to control.

Turns out everything since the K2-L incident was all a dream

END OF THE SERIES

Samus acquires most of her basic abilities by downloading them like music. I'm sorry, but I don't care what the future holds. You can't download a ballistic weapon into the real world like a music album on your iPod.

i think a better comparison is "i download a graphics chip, now i can do this!". its an advanced suit, im sure the data downloads just told the suit how to react and how to do x any y better


why do you find this more illogical then a 10 story dinosaur shooting spikes out of his nipples, belly and penis?

That whole 'it was all a dream' thing is SO IRRITATING. lol

Now: It was all a dream that was caused by getting into Samus' head and fuckin shit up.

That works. lol

[Troid]

You're giving them too much credit.

The X aren't even outside the sci-fi realism scope.

END OF THE SERIES

And little Samus wakes up safe at home in her mother's arms. She tells them all about the crazy dream about being raised by bird people and fighting giant insect creatures and freezing flying jellyfish with her special gun-thingy, and how she kept rolling up into a ball, and how she destoryed this giant brain in a jar("eeww!"), twice, "... and you were there, and you were there, and even you!" And she insists it wasn't a dream at all, "It was real!"
