Was wiki diving some Metroid Prime log entries for research reasons and the Pirate Data log on Meta Ridley is loaded with so many implications about Ridley + how he's treated among the Space Pirates it's kinda nuts.
The reconstruction of geoform 187, code-named Ridley, was recently completed. After his defeat on Zebes, Command ordered a number of metagenetic improvements for him. Though aggressive, we were able to implement these changes in a cycle. The metamorphosis was painful, but quite successful in the end. Early tests indicate a drastic increase in strength, mobility, and offensive capability. Cybernetic modules and armor plating have been added as well. We believe our creation, now called Meta Ridley, will become the mainstay of our security force, a job he will certainly relish.
"The reconstruction of geoform 187, code-named Ridley, was recently completed." <- This one sentence alone raises so many questions. "geoform 187" why are you call him that as though he's a lab sample and not previously a commander + probably your boss? "code-named Ridley" implying that wasn't always his name?
Meta Ridley received genetic modifications in addition to cybernetics, and the process was described as painful? "Though aggressive" implying he resisted???
