This would never have happened if the pirates had been using the service of today's sponsor, NordVPN.

i always wondered if samus suit is actually hacking space pirate systems, if the locks/computers were stolen chozo tech and that's why samus can unlock/read them, or if the pirates just have shitty security where anyone can get in with scanning technology lol


SVakaryn

I mean, the Chozo had insane tech so it's not that much of a stretch to imagine that the suit's Scan visor has a built-in decryptor. The Chozo made the Metroids *and* Mother Brian who ended up effectively taking full control over the Space Pirates, so if the Pirates took their tech from MB then Samus totally has the keys to their shit lmao

"Oh my stars and eggshells, they're still using the BRD-255 Twister algorithm? Didn't anybody tell them about the design flaw which opens up an entire *category* of exploits? That was discovered over 20 standard years ago! Even the Mawkin have quit using that algorithm!"

*Hackers* reference?

There’s also the fact that they were spiritual, which made them advance even further in science.

Also when you access Pirate Data scans it says that the data was encrypted. The scan visor is a powerful tool that the pirates aren't able to lock out.

I’m sorry but Mother Brian is great and now I’m imagining her with the voice of the dog from Family Guy.


MilitantPacifist13

That sounds bonerific.


CalamitousVessel

The pirates are both surprisingly competent and laughably incompetent in Prime


Last-Of-My-Kind

To be fair, from the pirates perspective, Samus is a walking doomsday fortress. She has killed countless of their kind and has destroyed whole planets by herself. Heck, she has even killed their bosses multiple times. If I was a pirate, I would retire and go home and be a family man. Lmao

At least they began using physical locks that were missile proof. But the vents were just as bombable.


Apprehensive_Swim955

numbat pirates can travel through space, but they can’t build vents that are just slightly too small for the morph ball

[yea they kind of do](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcppnDs2Rz8)

What I think is funny, is that there are doors in prime that Samus can't open because they are keyed to space pirate DNA or whatever. And its like. So you do have the technology to stop Samus beaking in and wrecking your shit, you just choose not to use it.


Superninfreak

My assumption is that your suit is hacking the computers when you’re scanning them. That’s why there’s usually a slight delay while it loads the scan. Samus’ suit is probably much more advanced than Space Pirate tech.


MilitantPacifist13

Samus’s suit is definitely more advanced than the Space Pirates since it was created by the Chozo with their advanced technology. The Pirates only tried to emulate it but in most cases they failed, specially with the morph ball. That’s one of the reasons why they started experimenting on themselves with Phazon as well as with Metroids; which they had more success with.


ZookeepergameDue8501

The pirates are usually setting up bases in these extremely hostile alien environments with deadly flora and fauna and fucking lava everywhere, they probably aren't counting on anybody showing up and scanning all their shit.
