[ Oh... no. She's found a nerd. Samus isn't even very opposed to this sentiment; she's worked very closely with Federation scientists before and some Chozo spent their life's pursuit chasing and spreading knowledge across the cosmos. Their greatest creation (and warrior) may very well be her.
Despite that she inwardly struggles how much to indulge Adrian on this. He's just botched his awful part time shift and watched a guy puke and broke his nose (though that seems fine now), so he should probably not make any of his money-making endeavors worse and she should go about her way. ]

[ It's unclear if it's pity or the way he looks at her wide-eyed, or the foolish dim hope that maybe he might be smart enough to eventually figure out why most of her suit doesn't work by showing him what does, but...
Samus tilts her head back and sighs. She looks around and motions with a broad sweep of her arm for him to follow her down the dark alleyway next to the store.
Down there she brings a single finger to her lips, a universal 'keep this quiet' gesture. She then holds out her right arm and light starts to shimmer and shine around it, slowly manifesting into the outline of something. The arm cannon suddenly flashes into shape around her arm. It smells faintly of ozone, and the inner lights glow with a warm alien light. ]
