I'm not so sure though. I think you misunderstand what I mean. She got the powersuit as a kid after all, from the Chozo. The storyline in Zero Mission pretty much says she was raised by living Chozo, not dead ones, and they were all completely wiped out by the space pirates themselves, who had only recently showed up. When I say "current era", I actually meant in the era when Samus was alive. So, I used the wrong term. I meant they made it when she was a kid for when she grew up. As I saw it, only some turned into those spirits, and those were on Tallon IV. They do seem to exist within time, because all the info you read off the walls that is from them AFTER the transformation make CLEAR references to things changing, time flowing on. If they existed outside time, they would know all at once. They also certainly don't seem to be the actual universe itself. I know it's a nice melodramatic way to view it, but I just can't see that being the case with what I've read in the games themselves.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
