"The Armadillo upgrade." Samus selected from the list, seeing that it was an upgrade for her Power suit. She hoped it didn't have mental changes like the last one. She had just spent the last hour collecting every precious metal on the station and around her ship, and obsessively hoarding them, until she was able to stop focusing on them long enough to revert the change. She took the chip from the machine, and inserted it into her armour, as the change began.

To start, she felt a stirring in her head, and quickly removed her helmet, as she noticed the armour on her biceps bulking up, becoming thicker and thicker, while her shoulder pads actually became somewhat smaller and more spherical, losing the spikes sticking out. The fingers on her gauntlet grew thicker and longer, extending into long talons, the toes of her boots gaining similar long talons extending from the boot. She bent over and gave a slight grunt as her hips widened considerably, a short metal tail growing between the now very wide hips, although not to the extent of her previous upgrade, even with the metal of the suit. On her head, a thick leathery cap grew over her scalp and down to her nose resembling an armadillo, while her ears grew pointed and turned the same leathery colour of the cap. Finally, her hair turned a bright rose colour, and her suit changed colours from orange and yellow to a deep brown and maroon.

Brought slightly off balance from her tail and hips, regaining control quickly due to her previous experience, Samus looked at her helmet, it having change to resemble a stylised armadillo's head. Checking her readouts for the changes made by the upgrade, she saw that her suit had a much higher defence, and an increase in power to her morph ball.

"Finally, something useful." She said, trying out her new morph ball.
