The Story So Far

I went to the planet called SR388 to destroy the Metroids. After a deadly struggle, I managed to defeat the Queen Metroid and as I was preparing to return, a baby Metroid hatched before my eyes.
As I was the first thing that the baby saw, it took me to be it's mother.
I felt that studying the baby might produce some peaceful applications so I took it back to the Galactic Federation.
But, that baby Metroid was attacked in the middle of an experiment and fell into the hands of the Space Pirates who are led by Mother Brain.
In the hopes of rescuing the baby, I infiltrated the stronghold controlled by Mother Brain on the planet called Zebes.
But, Mother's overwhelming power brought me to the brink of death.
And then the strangest thing began to restore vigor to my spirit's light which was so close to going out.
"Why am I still alive?"
The baby protected me from Mother Brain's attack.
It gave me power.
"Mother. Time to go!"
Mother Brain, the Space Pirates and the Metroids are terminated along with Zebes.
I did not know how much time passed since then. I was travelling in my Star Ship when I unexpectedly received a signal.
Code name: "Baby's Cry."
A common SOS with the urgency of a baby crying.
The nickname comes from the fact that the purpose of the signal was to draw attention.
The signal was coming from a remote part of space. I altered the course of my ship as if this detour was already part of my flight plan.
Baby's Cry.
It was as though it was crying specifically for me.
