10 years. It's been 10 years. And finally, she wakes up.

All this time, she has been confined inside a research facility in the middle of space. She's been trapped inside a container that kept her asleep, and meanwhile the researchers have been studying her with the purpose of finding new ways of dealing with Phazon energy. What nobody knew is that she wasn't forcefully put to sleep by them, she stayed in slumber for years by her own choice, to regain all of her health and power. And finally, she finds the moment to break out of that place.

She has broken the glass from the container that kept her trapped for a decade. Now standing in the middle of what seems to be the main room of the laboratory, she looks around trying to spot any hint of where she is. But there's nobody. Looks like the staff left to rest and left her alone, completely oblivious of what was to happen today. Although... she feels it at last. She's not alone there.

From behind a shelf, she hears the faint sound of what seems to be... music? Floating towards it with caution, she prepares herself in case there is any danger in here. But there's not. Just a dude listening to music at a really, really loud volume. He didn't seem to have heard her break the glass.

She steps towards the guy, and somehow, she finds herself not feeling the need of destroying him. All these years trapped in that slumber... Maybe it changed something in her behavior? Maybe it was Samus Aran's final blow that did it? She brushes it off for now, seemingly curious about what this human is doing. Without him noticing, she leans over his shoulder to check what he's up to: she sees an artifact which she recognizes as a "laptop", a machine used by humans to gather information. What she spots on the screen is pictures of none other than her rival, Samus Aran, in strange poses and wearing little clothing, with actual parts of her flesh exposed. She finds herself confused. What is this?
