When your villain organization is running low on resources after the whole phazon debacle, you've got to make some of your weapon acquisitions by purchasing rather than manufacturing them yourselves or just stealing, your underlings are chosen by their ability to follow orders, not to question what they're told, your boss is an artificial intelligence who, though in many ways brilliant, was originally created for archiving purposes and doesn't know the first thing about haggling, and your boyfriend is out fetching some metroids and won't be back for a few days (he said not to worry, what are the chances he'd randomly run into Samus or something, right?), who's going to deal with making sure your space shopping cart isn't full of "great" deals like "lightly used bombs"? Not the ghost or the fish.

Sinedenian organic cave
Descending a steep slope, a pair of Skritniks stumble upon an open plant cave in the upper layers of foam grass. A musty, slightly sweet, putrid-smelling air slowly emanates from inside the cave, attracting their attention. These omnivorous varmints (family negadiadae) are not averse to feasting on a scattering of parasitic plants on the walls and floor of the cave; not many animals are able to digest such parasites, whose bodies are saturated with putrefactive poisons, but some especially aportunistic species, such as skritniks, are adapted to feeding on even such a desperate snack. Despite their poisons and hard shell, the bodies of paraphytes are rich in sugars and other delicacies so desired by hungry pranksters. But they still explore the area with caution before entering the cave, which may harbor dangers far greater than indigestion.

Lady Albina and her Quodilus
Albina oversees the management and spiritual guidance of the Coven of Abatos Planum, Triton. Her congregation includes 45 Quodilus Maris, financed and raised in three batches. Together they cultivate the Maris faith in their little piece of the Neptunian system, furthering the influence of the theocracy and seeking enlightenment through their niche branch of transhumanism.
