20 Years after the shadow moses incident
A warehouse in a New York City shipyard

Snake: "Ok, you got the plan son?"

Little Snake "(Hereafter know as Jim): Yeah dad, we go in, we get the Floppy disk, then Otacon picks us up in the chopper, right?"

Snake: "Yeah, but you left out one thing Jim, we gotta make sure there isn't a metal gear in the warehouse."

Jim: "Ok dad, but this is just a police warehouse, they're not gonna have a Metal Gear!"

Snake: "Son, in this day and age, almost anyone can buy a metal gear off the internet, and since the newly formed country of Cantanzi is mass producing them, they're going for really low prices."

Otacon over codec: "Ok people, lets get this show on the road!"

Snake: "You ready kid?"

Jim: "Yeah, and don't call me kid anymore, I just turned 16 ya know!"

Snake: "ok whatever, KID!"

Snake smirks at Jim as he loads his USB.

Jim: "I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO..

Otacon over codec: "Guys, quit messing around and get ready, the Police Convoy is about to enter the warehouse, that's when you two sneak in and grab the floppy, ok?"

Snake and Jim: "yeah yeaaaah, ok"

Snake and Jim run out of the warehouse and out onto the street, and then quickly behind a dumpster. The police convoy drives buy and turns into the next warehouse down, a heavily armed officer opens the large doors and the convoy continues inside.

Snake: "ok Jim lets go!"

Snake throws a rock at the wall behind the officer, the officer turns around, Snake pelts him with his USB. Jim does the same to the other officer around the corner. Snake leads the way into the building as Jim watches his back, a guard suddenly spots Jim but Jims trusty M9 trank gun puts him out of commission.

Jim: "Umm dad, you sure we went into the right warehouse?"

Snake: "yeah, why do you ask?"

Jim: "THEN WHERES THE CONVOY?!?!?"

Snake: "what the heck, the convoys gone!"

Snake to Otacon over codec: " OTACON, THE CONVOY HAS, UM, WELL, DISSAPPEARED!"

Otacon: "What?!? Ok give me a sec I might know why, lemme check some blueprints of the warehouse, ill call ya back."

Snake: "ok."

Jim: "ok im a little confused and really freaked out!"

Snake: "yeah me too"

Otacon over codec: "ok I think ive got it, the warehouse has a basement, you might want to check for a elevator or an access ramp or something."

Snake: "ok, I think I see something that might work."

Snake pushes a button on the wall, the floor of the building quickly opens revealing a ramp into the basement below.
