As I left the decaying body of the spore creature and made it down towards Norfair, a thought struck my mind. What if the Metroid larva I collected on SR388 was looking for me. What if it felt like I deserted it on that research station. I don't know if the Metroid larva had awoken my maternal instincts, but I suddenly stopped and realized the cheer absurdity of the though. I was raised by the Chozo and taught that Metroids were an abomination, a perversion of their lust for power and knowledge. They also told me that their fatal mistake of creating such an abomination had to be corrected. The heat of the lava and the frustration of not having immediate access to all areas of Norfair interupted my thoughts. It was clear to me that I had to return to Norfair before this mission was over, but in order for me to do so I had to upgrade my power suit to be able to resist the heat of the volcanic areas. In my heart I knew this journey was far from over.
