Metroids WERE however, made by the Chozo initially, so that is a point in dark samus's favor, even if being Trespasser corrupted does raise several complex and difficult quests and side quests to properly fix. Cause if there isn't a way to cure trespasser infestation, Even if evidence leads to the assumption that it can be resisted at least verbally, then we are in for a lot more trouble than just killing trespassers.
Ah.

You're assuming these things are Trespasser corrupted and not actual Trespassers themselves.

20702
Has anyone actually TOLD US THAT, though???
*glares at the Exposition Fairy*
Come on. Even ALAN should know this with his metagaming shenanigans :P

Metroids have never bled acid blood, nor done anything vaguely related to do with acid. He SHOULD'VE twigged on to SOMETHING there.

20704
Point taken.

Also, I'm going to say this; in the intro, the race of eldritch reality-eating monsters who have enough intelligence to hate absolutely everything and want to eat it have the ability to evolve and morph into any suitable and convenient form.

Now consider; when the hell did Omega Metroids and Metroids start bleeding acid blood?

20705
".....and where did that strange mist go?"

20706
"The dragon. Of course. The dragon. Did we not see the creature absorb it?"

20707
And yet it spoke.
0 INT does not mean that there isn't the chance for INT to develop.
Point, but by that logic, it has to level up to get INT points.

And guess who happen to be the perfect mooks to level up on.


Speaking coherently and being aware of a sense of self generally requires some sort of sapience and conscious thought, so that goes out the window, Elf.
Mimicry and eldritch shittery. Fuck if I know, but I have the stats in front of me and I know for a fact it's 0 INT.

20708
"Other reasons, but.....it also said it wouldn't be fixed. Why would it say that?"

20709
For the record, this is what Dackly Believes, I am probably in agreement that diplomacy is going to fail, but her basic personality has locked her into this path.
Mio would be more reasonable, but she's been attacked in the back by her own team, attacked by tentacles, fought two acid monster creatures, and is not as in-control of her own self as she is.

She's too frazzled to think straight.

And Dackly is starting to slowly notice that, hence her change in approach, trying to become less emotionally biased.
As is Mio. This might.....get a little better.

IT WOULDNT HAVE FAILED (probably) IF NOT FOR BISNIF.....
It would've failed. Sanure simply used Bisnif's attack as an excuse. The creature doesn't even have an INT score. :P

"Robots can be flawed, intelligence can be fooled. As far as we know, its entire will may well be to kill us all now. It might not be, but it will likely be, considering what it already tried to do to Eirika."

"You didn't have to. I can see you're not happy with how things went. Neither am I."
Mio sighs. She had to think logically. Rationally.

The heat of the moment was getting to her.
"Before we jump to the conclusion of fear, let us consider why ELSE it hesitated, yes? Fear might be AN answer, and so could hate, but it's not the only one.

If a predator sees a new prey animal, it will hesitate to see if it's edible or not, then attack with full speed and full haste, for instance."

20713
Eirika doesn't react to this, except to tighten one of her fists excessively.
"......fine. Agree with them. Try to negotiate. If I wasn't wary of it, I'd be all for it.

If you want to negotiate with an inscrutable creature, the motives of which you cannot possibly know, after we have been attacked thrice by everything that seems to be native to this cave, then fine. But exercise some prudence and at least consider what I just said. Even if Bisnif provoked it, that might only have been the difference between us escaping and us being forced to fight it."

20714
Mio looks Dackly straight in the eye, a calm expression on her face.
"Yes. I am. We all are. And we will be forced to fight until we get out of here and away from it.

And you're making as many assumptions as I am about this creature. How could you POSSIBLY know what it feels? Do you know? Can you read its mind? Do you know its motives? Do you even know what it is? For all we know, the other monsters we fought could've been the same, but they weren't. I'm not going to make the mistake of assuming this one, that DID just try to drag one of our group down with it, isn't hostile.

You saw it. It attempted to drag down Eirika with it, before I pushed her out of the way and attacked its tentacle. Until I have proof that it's not hostile, I'm going to defend myself if it attacks me. You disagree with me? Fine. But we've seen far more evidence of it being natively hostile than otherwise."

20715
Mio, if she was surprised by that sentence, doesn't show it.
"Yes. At least we can show our love *makes out with Eirika* strategise."
