Yuzu Metroid Dread -

Her mission wasn't to destroy. It was to harvest.

Yuzu did the only thing her programming allowed. She curled into a perfect sphere—not to roll, but to reflect .

The air on Planet ZDR tasted of rust and burnt ozone. Yuzu, a bio-mechanical scout unit no larger than a house cat, skittered across the condensation-dripping pipes of Cataris. Her chassis, a warm citrus orange, was a stark, cheerful insult to the grim, chozo-ghost-haunted caverns.

She activated her comms.

Her mission, uploaded by the Thoha colony before the signal went dark, was simple: Locate and extract rare X-parasite biomass for vaccine synthesis. But the colony was dead. And something else was hunting.

And somewhere in the darkness, a silent, cloaked figure—tall, blonde, and armored—watched from a ledge. Samus Aran allowed the faintest hint of a smile. She had never seen an E.M.M.I. defeated by a fruit-themed probe before.
