I did not get the impression that Samus was scan-immune.
And that post was in all honesty; I still don't believe Chaotix would give away Samus by letting it shine through in the writeup that she was the target of God Emperor when she killed him. I'd rather lose to a well-played mafia than win because the host gave away the Godfather in a writeup... But I might be undervaluing victory here...?
