When Samus gets near the planet she intercepts a distress signal coming from a nearby space pirate ship the Orpheon, which is in orbit around Talon IV. Samus investigates the ship to find it in ruins, with rubble and dead space pirate bodies found everywhere throughout the ship. She quickly discovers the source of all the carnage was due to the parasite queen, a giant mutated creature that was created due to the space pirates experiments with Phazon. After defeating the creature, it falls into the ship's reactor causing the ship to overload and start a self destruct sequence. While escaping from the Orhpeon, Samus runs into the Space pirate commander Ridley who was gentically rebuilt following their fight on zebes. After she see Ridley she loses almost all of her powers following an explosion that knocks her into a wall. After this she tries to follow Ridley in her ship but their is an engine failure and she is forced to land on Talon IV.
