Chapter #3Getting a Physical by: max   Samus approached the medical center. She was not exactly thrilled to be were she was today, but to maintain a license as a professional bounty hunter the federation mandated that all applicants health and wellness be up to date. As she walked through the doors of the featureless stark white building she turned to see a holographic display on the wall. Welcoming patients, and in this case specifically her, and displaying a path along the walls to appointed area for her physical. Following the guide she was led to a small room with a single metal chamber in the center.
At quick glance through machines panel indicated that the medical test was automated and all she needed to do was, strip down to appropriate clothing, climb into the pod and run the program. Entering the pod, she quickly removed her jacket and activated her zero suit. The pod began to activate and quickly began scanning her whole body. After about 5 minutes the pod began stutter, displaying odd readings to Samus as she lay there. She began to go over the readouts, apparently there were some genetic anomalies in her system. Going through the report she noted that the anomalies were linked to a foreign DNA strand within her body.
"Metroid...dna...wait, I'm in a public area with....ah crap." Samus spoke out loud as an alarming series events played out rather quickly. Sirens began to sound in the background, and the pod she was in suddenly was awash in red light.
"No...no dammit, NO!" Samus shouted kicking the pod door, but it was to late, the unit had already locked her inside, and was displaying a red biohazard sign.
"I am not a dam metroid, Let me out, I know how the federation responds to this kinda crap, I don't care to be shot at today!! Now open up!" Samus shouted anger beginning to rise up in her voice. She grabbed the control panel and began trying to override the medical pod. The unit rejected her attempts which only caused her to grow angrier. Suddenly she felt something shock her, like a small lighting bolt running up her arm. She looked down worried that the pod may have just tried to sedate her. Instead she found the unit lights had began to blow out all around her.
"Hmm, not a great sign, but if the power is going out I bet I can force a manual override." Samus pondered out loud. She then began to flip through the control panel again. quickly she found the holo-display began to fade, every time she would touch it, the lights would fade a little more. Worse every time she felt those little botls of lightning shooting up her fingers and arm. She tried to stay calm, she tried to be rationale, she new if she stayed calm she could do this.
"I have faced down space pirates, metroids, X parasites, and escaped no less then 3 exploding planets.... I can do this....just keep calm, remember the chozo training." Samus spoke to herself as she began to make some progress on the quickly fading control screen. Finally she through sheer luck or malfunctioning tech she got access to emergency options screen.
"Perfect...Now where is..." FZZT -BOOM- the control panel quickly shorted out as Samus felt a shock and burning sensation run through her entire body. Samus stared blankly at the broken display.
10 Seconds...Many would call that an impressive amount of time to keep your cool and come up with a new solution to a possible life threatening situation.
For Samus going from calm and collected to Berserk rage in 10 seconds was a new feeling. Especially considering the lack of life draining monsters involved.
"rrrRRRaAAHAGHH!" the guttural scream startled the 3 federation marines and two federation medical hazmat workers. Each stepped back as the lid of pod with a class S biohazard burst off its hinges. They weren't sure what could break ceramic titanium alloy off its hinges, but they also knew they didn't want to pick a fight with it.
"Citizen you are infected with a Class S biohazard. Stand down and prepare for containment." Spoke the head medical worker his voice slightly mechanical sounding due to the suits speaker. Samus emerged from the pod, Standing her usual height of 6' 3" looking around she took a breath and raised her hands.
"Okay I'm calm, lets not due anything stupid. I really aren't in the mood to be shot at right now." She said as she began to raise her left arm. unfortunately one of the soldiers was a bit to much on edge, and launched a stun blast the bounty hunter. The blue ray of energy collided with her body and knocked her to her knees.
"OW!, You Son of a Bitch. I have KILLED things for less than that you...oh, warm...." Samus's rage trailed offed as her whole body began to heat up. A sensation like being bathed in sunlight filled her body. The hazmat workers stepped forward with their kits but then suddenly stopped. Samus's whole body began to move, outward. When it finished she was bigger. not by much only a couple inches, maybe she was nearly 6 and half feet tall now.
"What happened?" Samus asked
"We don't know Miss Aran but were here to help. please let us contain you." Spoke the lead scientist.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
