As the rest of the allied forces were slowly pushing through the crowded rooms, Samus continued on her way to the bridge with little resistance. The only thing that tried to act against her was the entire set up of the labyrinth-like vent system, with various pipes sometimes intersecting in odd directions. There were some occasions where a pipe system would seem to go in the right direction, only to suddenly go the completely opposite way. It was already fairly difficult to navigate even with her visor continuously scanning the general area for the fastest route possible to the bridge and even then, judging by the sounds of battle, she was only barely a step ahead of the rest. If it wasn't for her ability to scan her surroundings, she'd be completely and utterly lost in the dark cramped halls. Not even the bounty hunter's superior sense of direction would've helped her in that predicament.

Thankfully, Samus was able to eventually figure out the direction she needed to be going and soon found herself ascending the Venator's right tower towards the bridge. She was getting closer to her target and so far hadn't been seen or detected by the enemy since she entered. The sounds of battle had also grown fainter, meaning that she seemed to be comfortably in the lead. Then suddenly, she felt the entire ship jolt as if it was suddenly hit by something. She could even feel the faint vibration that seemed to indicate something burying itself into the very hull itself. Still undeterred, the bounty hunter continued to make her way up until she found herself right on top of the bridge.

Her scans did indeed detect the Admiral's presence within the room, however he was guarded by a significantly sized defense group - 20 enemy clones to be exact - and were all armed. If Samus was to simply drop in, she would surely take a significant amount of damage for such a fool-hardy plan. And yet, there was neither a better alternative but to descend down from the vents. However, this didn't concern the bounty hunter much, for she already had a plan ready to be set into action...

As the battle was beginning to grow ever more heated by the second, the admiral and his guards seemed to be too busy assessing the situation and figuring out their next course of action. Everything seemed to be in chaos and completely against their favor but alas the crew is desperately trying to hold the line. But as they were preoccupied with the overall situation, the crew would suddenly notice a small spherical object - no bigger than a balloon - drop into the command bridge seemingly out of nowhere. The metal item rolled around slightly before stopping completely in place, as it blinked an ominous looking light while beeping furiously. 

[b]"Get down!"[/b] a clone shouted as he attempted to dive for cover.

Whatever the crews reaction would be, they would not be prepared for the fact that it released a thick cloud of smoke and steam that attempted to cover most of the command bridge. The cloud would be so dense that one could barely see their own hands, let alone each other. Taking advantage of the situation caused by her smoke bomb, Samus dropped from the vent and morphed back into her human form in mid-air, landing with a powerful clunk. 

Without delay, the bounty hunter quickly proceeded to blast the nearest guard next to her as she attempted to eliminate the guards one by one in quick succession. As soon as she blasted the second guard, she swung her cannon arm to slam into the face of another before firing at a third guard nearby. If she played her cards right, she should be able to succeed without dying or taking severe injuries. She just had to be careful not to accidentally kill the admiral in the process...
