Japanese
私が メトロイドの存在を知ったのは 惑星ゼーベスでの戦いの時だった
English
When I learned of the metroids' existence it was during the battle on Planet Zebes.
Japanese
その後 私は惑星ＳＲ３８８へ メトロイドを 壊滅させるために向った

English

Japanese
生まれてすぐ目に入った私を母親だと思った様だ
English
When it was born, it seemed to think that I, whom it immediately noticed, was its mother.
- The よう after 思った here is obligatory, because you typically are not allowed to directly state what somebody or something else is thinking in Japanese, merely what they seem to be thinking. Hence, either "thought" or "seemed to think" are reasonable translations because they would both be said the same way in Japanese.

I took this baby metroid into the Space Science Academy, a space colony.
