If Sylux does bond with the infant, then I fear this will further lower the importance of Metroid 2's ending, because when people will look back at the infant hatching in front of Samus and attaching to her, they'll simply think:

"Ah, well that's not so special anymore is it? This once-unique moment has already happened in the past with Sylux and... a Pirate."

That awesome moment in Metroid 2, one of the best things to come out of that game, would be utterly ruined. In fact, that moment is one of the most significant things to come out of the entire series because it showed a side of Samus that had never been seen before: kindness and mercy towards the dreaded Metroid species. Prior to that point, she had shown nothing but utter coldness towards Metroids in her slaughter of the species not only on SR388, but elsewhere in the universe as well. Infants in Prime 2 and Prime 3 had either been highly aggressive or indifferent to Samus' presence, giving her the impression there was nothing good to be found in Metroids. SR388's infant Metroid, however, demonstrated the first ever child-like innocence, attachment and playful attitude in the species. Super Metroid further expands on this by the creature's ability to feel remorse and its ultimate sacrifice to protect Samus.

Unfortunately, according to Federation Force (and possibly its sequel), it is now revealed Samus' big change of heart towards the species and the entirety of her relationship with the baby, was caused by a nothing-special, common behavior demonstrated in the past by Infant Metroids. WONDERFUL.
