As Samus proceeded forward, she quickly took note of a middle-aged man approaching her location, who seemed to be wearing a light armored-vest underneath a fine suit. For a brief moment, he reminded the bounty hunter of another individual she once knew during her time in the Galactic Federation academy - one [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/metroid/images/9/94/Anthony_Higgs_HD.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110205153830]Anthony Higgs[/url] - however this man was clearly older and more grizzled compared to Higgs' light-hearted and laidback demeanor. Still, Samus found herself on guard; warming her cannon's barrel in the advent of immediate combat. She knew well not to trust anyone until she had a better idea of the situation at large. 

The individual in question would walk up towards the armored figure and offered his hand - before asking who she was - and mentioned if she had missed some sort of briefing. Samus' eyebrow cocked upwards as her head tilted slightly. What was he talking about? Was he talking about the main briefing to her original mission by the Federation? She doubted that's what he was referring to. After all, he wasn't wearing any sort of Federation garments or badges to signify himself as one of their agents. It was oddly suspicious, despite his pleasantries. 

Samus' gaze stiffened, before her attention was drawn towards what appeared to be some kind of barricade in the distance. She wasn't sure if it was friend or foe, yet it was the only structure around that ought to be active. Perhaps she could find more answers there? The bounty hunter then glanced back at the man for a brief second, judging silently as whether or not to trust him. Without a word, the silent huntress would turn and make her approach towards the settlement with haste.
