[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.

An honorable undertaking.

[ As a contemplative matter, and simply from his own sense of honesty, he considers the fact that the Imperium is also bent on ruling the galaxy by any means necessary, has notably destroyed several planets, and exterminated hostile races as well. He wonders about these space pirates though. Were they enslaved and eaten, as humanity was during Old Night? Do they consider themselves part of a great crusade? Or are they simply.... greedy. ]

An infiltrator, then. [ He considers his last undertaking to Caliban, and nods. Not so different indeed. ]

Good to know you, then. You'll find that.... you will return when you left, so you aren't losing any time here.

[If Samus had to guess, the Space Pirates simply had no sense of morality. They understood the morals and ethics of other races and simply did not care. Genetically, they were bred to be psychopathic and even parasitic by nature. While intelligent, their minds were programmed to want to rule everyone else...

Sometimes it made Samus sad to think that there was such a race beyond any sort of redemption, but that pity was vastly outweighed by her total disgust and vengeful nature towards the creatures.]

That's certainly a relief to me, I wouldn't be here right now if I knew I was leaving those in my galaxy stranded.

Hopefully none of those pirates follow me into this world. [God help them all if Ridley were to come through to this dimension.]

[greyerrant]

If they do, they will find it defended.

[ He need not say more than that. ]

[screwattack]

[Again, there's a small quirk at her lips.]

Definitely. I myself would do my best to fight back any number of Space Pirates in order to assure the safety of the citizens here.

How many tend to come, if they come?

[screwattack]

I've not heard of any of them arriving in this place so far. If a single one were to arrive, it would pose virtually no threat. Space Pirates are deadliest in swarms.

That being said, it depends on the Pirate. A grunt is of no concern... a captain or commander could pose serious trouble. Especially considering they have a tendency to come back no matter how many times they fall.
