Private First Class E. Denys
Species	Human
Death	Most likely War Wasp attack.
Gender	Unknown
Affiliation	Galactic Federation

Private First Class E. Denys is a Galactic Federation Trooper in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Denys is the last of the known troopers to die on Aether. The trooper was one of those in Force Two, sent to set up a base unknowingly near a Splinter Hive. It is unknown who or what Denys's killer was, although the Trooper Logs entry seems to imply that the trooper may not have had the opportunity to identify their attacker. It is possible that it was a War Wasp, which likely instantly killed them by a lethal stinger blast, as the Logbook entry and Denys's position after death suggests they were looking into a hole leading into a room that, when Samus explores it, proves to contain War Wasps.

I'm the only one left. Managed to get out of the hive, but when I got to the ship, everyone was gone...dead. I'm heading for that alien building we saw earlier. Maybe someone can help me there... Wait, something's moving down there. Hello...?

In the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Bonus Disc, Denys's name is R. Harris. This is likely a reference to Ryan Harris, an assisting producer of the Prime Series. R. Harris's unused Logbook entry seems to imply that they saw a Luminoth, likely the one whose corpse is found in the Sacred Path.

This bridge should be secure. The only person able to operate it was that alien that came down here earlier, and it's dead. Just as well; the last thing we need is another way those things can get to us and attack.

Trivia

• A careful inspection of Denys reveals that, unlike the other dead Marines, they are missing their assault rifle. How Denys lost their weapon is unknown, as is how they were able to enter through the door to the Sacred Bridge without it.
• How long Denys survived for is unclear. Scans of the Splinter bodies in the Splinter Hive reveal that some of them were killed recently, leading to the conclusion that Denys was killed only a short while before Samus arrives. The Metroid Prime 2: Dark Echoes Q&A on Metroid.jp confirms that Denys survived the longest out of any Herakles trooper.
