[On the network, a video feed starts up from one of the watch comps, pointed directly at the face of the user. Said user happens to be a woman with blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, wearing a futuristic looking armored suit. Her helmet is currently off so that her face is visible on camera.

It appears that she is sitting in a stark white hospital room, with several doctors nearby reviewing clipboards and storing samples of... are those vials of glowing blood?

Speaking of glowing, the woman herself happens to be glowing slightly blue all over, and there are dark blue veins running along certain areas on her face.

When she's positive that the feed is working, she begins to speak.]

My name is Samus Aran, from my universe I'm what's known as a space hunter, a hired mercenary and bounty hunter primarily working for the Galactic Federation. One of my missions recently left me infected with a radioactive substance known as Phazon; my body is currently producing Phazon at a steady rate, and the city's government feared that my condition may cause harm to civilians, so I have been in the hospital for the past two days while tests were being run.

As I assured them, and as they confirmed, my condition is not contagious nor is it outright harmful to either myself or any others that I come into contact with. I now assure you that there is no need to fear my condition, and I'm taking great care to make sure that I keep it under control.

[To her chagrin this might mean regular check-ups at the doctor's.]

As a warning, my body and my suit are irradiated, so radiation detectors will go off if I come near them.

I'll be happy to answer any questions or concerns regarding my condition, but first I would like to ask if there happens to be anyone from my universe currently residing in the city. If you are at all familiar with the Galactic Federation, whether you are a part of the Federation Police or military, or whether you are simply aware of their presence as the law enforcement of the galaxy you are from, please let me know.

[She is getting this strange feeling that he... recognizes her? Or perhaps he was from her universe and knew who she was. Recently, Samus had gained a lot of recognition among those in the galaxy, that was possibly it.]

The pleasure is mine. You seem happy to see me, have you heard of me?

Uhh... Nope!!! I just think space people are really cool!!!

[ He tried. ]

There are many people within my galaxy who have heard of me, it isn't much of a stretch of the imagination that you have possibly heard of me too.

[She doesn't really even sound like she's gloating about her fame, she just seems aware of it. To be honest, she could care less about being famous, though the respect among those in the Galactic Federation definitely helped her get her job done easier.]

Y-yeah, that's it...

[ He's not sure she's going to buy that what with his wings and Greco-Roman attire. ]

[No, she doesn't really buy it, but then again, she doesn't really care how he knows about her. She's sort of used to the fame by now, even if it came from an odd place.]

There's no need to be nervous.

Ah. Well, sorry. I just...get nervous around people I admire.

[Samus seems a little amused by that, and tilts her head curiously. There's a hint of a smirk at the corner of her lips.]

There's no reason to admire me.

What do you mean? You're awesome! You go around the universe kicking space pirate butt! I only did that in one chapter of my game!

[Samus tilts her head.... She isn't sure what she's more confused to hear from that whole string of words right there.]

You've fought Space Pirates? [And... what in the world did he mean by game?]

Yeah. I think they're different from yours, though.

[ He's not going to say definitely different than hers because that would invite her to ask just how he's so sure... ]

Man, they were tough.

From mine...?

[There was only one race of Space Pirates as far as she was aware, and they came from her universe.]

... I think you'll need to clarify, I don't seem to understand. Are you a soldier within the Federation? [He certainly didn't look like it....]

[ crap ]

I'm from a video game and you're not that's how I know they aren't the same!

A... what?

[Samus has never heard of a video game in her entire life...]

I'm sorry, kid, you've lost me.

[ Samus not knowing what a video game is. That's not ironic or anything. Still, Pit could use this to his advantage... ]

It's, um. Don't worry about it.
