The teaser begins with Samus's ship flying to ZDR, with ominous music playing. She is shown using her ship's controls as she drawls closer to the planet, with her ship dodging several large asteroids in its path. These scenes are from the introduction of the game. Throughout the beginning of the trailer, a narration (above) is displayed, with scenes interspliced between lines. The format of this is similar to the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Preview and the introduction of Metroid: Zero Mission.
The narration states that the X Parasite was believed to have been rendered extinct, with a holographic image of an X being displayed. It goes on to say that the Galactic Federation received a troubling transmission that suggested the parasites are still alive. Footage of a yellow X Parasite floating is displayed, with the camera zooming in ominously on the parasite. The narration continues, revealing that the Federation dispatched seven Extraplanetary Multiform Mobile Identifier (E.M.M.I.) robots to investigate ZDR, where the transmission originated from. Holographic footage of the E.M.M.I. blueprints are displayed. When the text "they disappeared" appears on screen, the music stops abruptly.
Focus is then directed to the cockpit where ADAM, both vocally and via text, tells Samus to treat "our lost assets [the E.M.M.I.] with care". The onboard computer for the ship begins a countdown to atmospheric entry as the camera zooms in on Samus, skipping from 10 to 3.
| “ | ADAM: Treat our lost assets with care, Lady.
Computer: Entering the atmosphere in T-minus 10... 3, 2, 1... |

After a fade to black transition, the camera focuses on Samus, with her Power Suit now colored blue instead of orange, regaining consciousness on a cracked platform. She struggles to get up until she notices a Chozo monument in the vicinity. This room is part of Artaria in gameplay.
