Dr. Madeline Bergman

Madeline Bergman was the head of the secret operations on the Bottle Ship and was responsible for the malfunction of MB, leading to her sending the Baby's Cry distress signal. This distress signal caught the attention of Samus Aran and the Galactic Federation 07th Platoon, leading to the events of Metroid: Other M.

Madeline is not seen until the end of the story, but Samus does meet MB, who lies to Samus about her identity. Shortly before Samus fights the Queen Metroid, she sees Madeline curled up in a locked chamber, running away. After defeating the Queen, Samus pursues, and ultimately convinces Madeline that she is not trying to arrest her. Madeline tells her the story of MB and the events that lead to the distress signal, as MB arrives. After MB is shot to death by Federation Marines (not from the platoon), Madeline is restrained. However, it turns out that Anthony Higgs did not die, and he convinces the Marines to hand Madeline over to him and Samus. She leaves the Bottle Ship in Samus' Gunship, and lies under the protection of Anthony and Samus.
