"Adam Malcovich, my former Commander, wasn't too hot about me leaving the GFC. However many of the people there still trust me. When I was on Aether, I scanned the last logs of the dead crew to find out what happened... and to record the last memories for those families that lost a life. Most of the time in the recent missions, I'm glad I forget about bounties. But I haven't been able to relay that message yet to the GFC because of the time warp."
OOC: For reference, this is just after Metroid Prime 2.
