The dark-skinned man hadn’t intended it, but his words had stung Samus. “No one calls me lady”, she’d said. Of course, that had been a lie.
“It’s fine,” she said. She couldn’t tell if Ganondorf was genuinely the pompous gentleman he came across as, or if it was a part he was playing. In any event, it was better to assume the former.
The man’s eyes glimmered with relief. “If you don’t mind me asking, what was that you used just then?” He looked up and down the suit with a smile of polite interest, and then waved his hands as his smile cracked into embarrassment. “Truth be told, I’ve never seen anything like it before. Like … your ...” He looked hesitant, as though afraid to offend. “Suit?”
“Suit,” Samus reassured. “Actually, it’s one of a kind. The race who made it all died out.”
“Incredible,” said Ganondorf. “Were they great sorcerors?”
“Of a kind,” said Samus. “We would call this technology, not magic. I suppose in some sense, they’re not that different.” She thought back to the brown-haired girl. “But I’m no magician. Just a soldier.”
“I see.” Ganondorf nodded with interest. “You must tell me more of your world’s technology, once we …” he looked around him, raising his palms, “Get out of this … predicament.”
Samus nodded, and turned her body to the side, crossing her arms. If this was a virtual reality, one valid hypothesis was that they would try to make friends with her, extract information she wouldn’t willingly give to her enemies. Such a goal would be fruitless. She had no knowledge of how the suit truly worked besides what she knew instinctively. The secrets of the suit had died with the Chozo.
Why else might they trap her? Knowledge of the Galactic Federation? It was true that she knew a lot of things about them that most people didn’t. But if that was the case, why go through all the trouble to kidnap the galaxy’s most well-armed and dangerous bounty hunter, when they could kidnap some politician or scientist? There were a thousand possible explanations, of course. Samus could mull them all over. But right now, her best way of finding more out was to play the game. Do what they wanted. See what they wanted. And then figure out what to do next.
