Snake placed his back onto the wall, waiting for the guard to pass. He pulled out his M9 and ran up to a door just to his right, checked if the guard was looking and then quickly pushed his cardkey into the door's card- scanner, running straight through the door. He looked around; finding a woman crouched over a computer. She heard the door opening, spun around and pointed her gun at the door. Luckily, Snake had jumped into a dark corner, protected by a giant computer just before she spun around. He looked at her, got on one knee and pressed down onto his neck.

"Otacon. Was there supposed to be someone in this room?" He said, watching the woman putting her gun away and return to her work.

"No, why?" Otacon returned.

"Why do you think? 'Cause there is one!" He lowered his voice, since the woman looked around. "Could you check again?"

Snake heard some typing over the line. "Nope. No one is supposed to be there. Maybe you should work your magic on him,"

Snake swore under his breath. "You mean point a gun at her and say freeze? And, it's a woman," Snake ended the comm and looked at the woman //I guess this is it, // He thought as he stood up and pointed the red laser on his M9 at her head.

"Freeze!" He said, his musky voice echoing through the room. The woman smiled and turned towards Snake. Her hands slowly lifted above her head. "Now, throw your gun over here." She put her hand down slowly and took the gun into her hand. With a smirk, she bent down, giving a perfect view down her shirt, and threw the gun over to Snake. She put her hand back over her head and straightened up.

"What do you want with me?" She asked, speaking in an American accent and looking at Snake suspiciously. "You're Solid Snake, aren't you?"

Snake didn't answer any of her questions, but asked her one of his own. "What's your name, and who are you working for?"

The woman smiled. "My name is Invisible Snake. A female version of "Big Boss"."

Snake looked at her, shocked. "And who are you working for?"

A droplet of sweat trickled down her cheek. "I don't even know that myself."

"And why not?"

The woman smirked as a strand of her long, braided blonde hair fell to her face. She shook it back. "I'm a lone soldier."

Snake tightened his grip on the gun. "Speak!"

Invisible sighed. "The colonel."

Snake looked at her. "Well, then. I'll just have to take you with me, Invisible. Just in case you try to pull anything."

"Call me Pixie." She said.

"What?" Snake said, confused.

"It would get too confusing if we called each other Snake. Besides, Pixie is my codename for this mission."

"Good," Snake said, lowering his M9 slowly. "What were you doing on that computer?"

"Shutting down the security." She winked. "Yes, I have the clearance."

Snake, suddenly feeling more secure smiled one of his rare smiles. Pixie smiled back at him. "I can tell you don't smile much, by your facial structure." He frowned again, but Pixie kept on smiling. "You have a codec?"

"Yeah," Snake returned. Just then, his codec rang. "Just a sec," He placed his hand onto his neck. "Snake,"

Pixie returned to her work as Snake spoke into the codec.

"Snake, its Raiden. What's your position?"

"Raiden, I think we have a new recruit," Snake looked at Pixie and then returned his gaze to the floor. "Pixie."

"Pixie?!"

"Yep. Here she is," Pixie pressed down onto her neck, still typing in codes.

"Hello. Raiden, remember me? VR training? Anyway, I am shutting down the security riiiight. Now."

"Raiden," Snake spoke once again. "Meet us on deck 6. The control room."

"Got it," Raiden returned.
