==Plot== <!-- This plot summary is meant to be a BRIEF overview β it is detailed enough as is. If you wish to expand it or remove certain parts of it, please use the talk page to discuss your proposed changes. --> {{Metroid Story Order}} Bounty hunter [[Samus Aran]] explores the surface of the planet SR388 with a survey crew from Biologic Space Laboratories (BSL). She is attacked by [[parasitic organisms]] known as X. On returning to the BSL station, Samus loses consciousness, and her ship crashes. The BSL ship she was escorting recovers her body and transfers it to the [[Galactic Federation (Metroid)|Galactic Federation]] for medical treatment, who discover that the X has infected Samus' [[central nervous system]]. They cure her with a vaccine made from cells taken from the infant Metroid that Samus adopted on SR388.<ref name="prime_fusion_guide">{{cite book |first1=David |last1=Cassidy |first2=Mark |last2=Cohen |first3=Tri |last3=Pham |date=2002 |title=Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion: Prima's Official Strategy Guide |location=United States |publisher=[[Prima Games]] |isbn=0-7615-3959-X}}</ref>{{rp|88}} The vaccine gives her the ability to absorb the X [[Cell nucleus|nuclei]] for nourishment,<ref name=manual />{{rp|8}} but burdens her with the Metroids' vulnerability to cold.<ref>{{cite video game |title=Metroid Fusion |developer=[[Nintendo Research & Development 1|Nintendo R&D1]] |publisher=[[Nintendo]] |date=2002 |platform=[[Game Boy Advance]] |level=Sector 2 (TRO) - Navigation Room |quote='''Computer:''' You are still very vulnerable to cold, an unexpected side-effect of the Metroid vaccine.

I have named it the SA-X. I believe the SA-X came from the capsule containing your infected suit parts. It used a Power Bomb to escape the Quarantine Bay. That explosion breached the capsules containing all the X that started this disaster. But the SA-X is definitely our biggest worry right now. The SA-X is mimicking you at full power. You can't face it.}}</ref> Samus avoids the SA-X and explores the space station,<ref name="prime_fusion_guide" />{{rp|98, 107}} defeating larger creatures infected by the X to recover her abilities.<ref name="GTRetrospective">{{cite AV media|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HYNRbq1CmI |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/2HYNRbq1CmI |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=Metroid Retrospective Part 2|publisher=[[Defy Media]]|time=5:40β10:50|access-date=June 21, 2016|format=video|work=[[GameTrailers]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref> She discovers a restricted lab containing Metroids, and the SA-X sets off the labs' auto-destruct sequence while also attacking the released Metroids, who also devour the SA-X. Samus escapes, but the lab is destroyed.<ref name="prime_fusion_guide" />{{rp|135β136}} The computer berates Samus for ignoring orders and admits that the Federation was secretly using the lab to breed Metroids. It also reveals that the SA-X has [[asexual reproduction|asexually reproduced]], subsequently [[cloning]] itself. The computer advises Samus to leave the station.<ref>{{cite video game |title=Metroid Fusion |developer=[[Nintendo Research & Development 1|Nintendo R&D1]] |publisher=[[Nintendo]] |date=2002 |platform=[[Game Boy Advance]] |level=Restricted Zone - Navigation Room |quote='''Computer:''' Samus, you shouldn't have done that. You ignored your orders. You may have to pay a price for that quite soon... {{bracket|...}} As you can see, the Federation has been secretly working on a Metroid breeding program. For peaceful application only, of course. {{bracket|...}} You know that the X reproduce by asexual division. Because of this mechanism, there are now no fewer than 10 SA-X aboard the station. {{bracket|...}} Samus, you must go. Get out. If you stay too long, the SA-X will destroy you.}}</ref> On her way to her ship, the computer orders Samus to leave the rest of the investigation to the Federation, which plans to capture SA-X for military purposes.<ref>{{cite video game |title=Metroid Fusion |developer=[[Nintendo Research & Development 1|Nintendo R&D1]] |publisher=[[Nintendo]] |date=2002 |platform=[[Game Boy Advance]] |level=Sector 1 (SRX) - Navigation Room |quote='''Computer:''' Samus, we're done here. Leave the rest to the Federation... {{bracket|...}} The Federation has taken an interest in the X and SA-X. They believe this life-form had endless potential applications. {{bracket|...}} / '''Samus:''' This is madness! They won't stand a chance here! This station will devour them! What could be worth the risk!? / '''Computer:''' Capturing the SA-X, of course.}}</ref> Knowing that the X would only infect the arriving Federation troops and absorb their spacefaring knowledge to conquer the universe, Samus states her intention to destroy the station.<ref>{{cite video game |title=Metroid Fusion |developer=[[Nintendo Research & Development 1|Nintendo R&D1]] |publisher=[[Nintendo]] |date=2002 |platform=[[Game Boy Advance]] |level=Sector 1 (SRX) - Navigation Room |quote='''Samus:''' As soon as the Federation ships land, the X will overwhelm them and absorb the knowledge and power of their occupants. The X are just waiting for the hunt to begin, and then they'll spread across the universe. Galactic civilization will end. {{bracket|...}} The X must not leave here. I must destroy them all before the Federation arrives. This station has a self-destruct mechanism. I must use it to destroy the X here and on the planet. I must send them to oblivion. Them, the station, and myself, if I have to.}}</ref> Although the computer initially intends to stop Samus, she calls it "Adam", and reveals that Adam died saving her life.<ref>{{cite video game |title=Metroid Fusion |developer=[[Nintendo Research & Development 1|Nintendo R&D1]] |publisher=[[Nintendo]] |date=2002 |platform=[[Game Boy Advance]] |level=Sector 1 (SRX) - Navigation Room |quote='''Computer:''' I have been ordered to confine you until the ships arrive. / '''Samus:''' Don't let them do this.

Before the Federation arrives. Samus, this is your last mission. Go to the Operations Room and adjust the station's orbit path to intercept SR388. Then return to your ship and escape. Move quickly, and stay alive. That's an order! Any objections, Lady?}}</ref> Samus realizes that the computer is the consciousness of Adam, uploaded after his death.<ref>{{cite video game |title=Metroid Fusion |developer=[[Nintendo Research & Development 1|Nintendo R&D1]] |publisher=[[Nintendo]] |date=2002 |platform=[[Game Boy Advance]] |scene=Ending |quote='''Samus:''' That perfect military mind... The wisdom of Adam Malkovich continued to serve even after death. Until today, I had no idea that the minds of leaders and scientists were frequently uploaded to computers. My incredible reunion with Adam may have saved the universe...}}</ref> En route to initiate the propulsion sequence, an SA-X confronts Samus, who defeats it and sets the BSL station on a collision course with SR388. As Samus prepares to leave, she is attacked by an Omega Metroid. The SA-X appears and attacks it, but is destroyed; Samus absorbs its nucleus and uses her newly restored Ice Beam to destroy the Omega Metroid.<ref name="prime_fusion_guide" />{{rp|141β143}} Her ship arrives, piloted by creatures Samus rescued from the station's Habitation Deck. They escape before the station crashes into the planet, destroying it.<ref>{{cite video game |title=Metroid Fusion |developer=[[Nintendo Research & Development 1|Nintendo R&D1]] |publisher=[[Nintendo]] |date=2002 |platform=[[Game Boy Advance]] |scene=Ending |quote='''Samus:''' Just one detail still bothers me. This ship can only be started manually. Yet, before I faced the Omega Metroid, the ship moved on its own, guided by someone's hands. Is it possible? Adam...? / '''Adam:''' Lady, what's troubling you? You wonder how I started the ship? Just think about it. They lent me a hand...}}</ref>
