In his position between the bases of the trees, Snake held his breath as he looked down the scope of his rifle. He slowly breathed out and closed his heavy eyes and thought.
It has been so long since I've been in Alaska. The last time was Shadow Moses…God I hope this mission doesn't turn out like that.
A cold bead of sweat slowly crept down Snake's forehead and dripped off his brow and landed on his right hand making him jump. Snake opened his eyes and focussed again, looking down the scope. 2 men came into view; both had AK's and green balaclavas on.
They were guards to an Atmosphere research facility in Alaska where the top scientists in bio-weaponry were being held hostage after a Russian terrorist group named The Warriors of Nova kidnapped them after being influenced by an Unknown identity. There was also talk of a Metal Gear involved. That's why Snake was here. Breathing in again he waited until the two guards crossed over in their patrol, then he fired. The bullet tore out of the rifle barrel, it hit the first guard in the skull, killing him instantly, and the bullet ricocheted out of the guard's neck, hitting the second's radio, blowing it up.
"St!" Cursed Snake as he pulled back the bolt on the sniper rifle and inserted another round. Looking back down the scope, he saw the lucky guard running for the gate to the compound. Snake wasn't going to miss again; the bullet entered the guard's upper left torso spinning him as he ran. The guard dropped to his knees, whimpered and fell forward into the snow. Standing up Snake swung the sniper rifle over his back and jogged towards the gate but was met by two guards coming to change shift with the others.
Snake went into a sprint, greeting the first one with a jumping spin kick catching the guard on the chin snapping his neck. Now rolling over to the second he grabbed the guards arm and judo threw him over his shoulder. Now the guard was on the floor, Snake dropped down to one knee bringing his elbow down on the guard's throat, his arms shot up into the air, but slowly dropped down. Snake got up to his knees and dismantled all but one of the Ak's, which he picked up. Now going around the men he collected all the magazines off them. Snake sneaked into the compound and rolled behind two barrels .He raised his hand up to his ear and spoke into his codec.
"Otagon, I'm in the compound"
"Good Snake, the scientists are being held in the far block, but there is a problem. You will need to find three key cards, one for the mid compound gate, which is guarded by a 50-caliber machine gun, one for entrance to the far block and one to get into the Hostage room itself. Snake, I think it would be easier if you found a master key card as they give you access to every structure and room in the compound"
"Great, where do I find one of those?"
"High ranking personnel should carry them"
"Ok, find an officer, beat crap out of him then nick his key. Easy"
"Oh and Snake, the unknown identity is Revo…"
The conversation was cut short as bullets flew over Snake's head.
"Snake, What an expected visit! Nice to see you again!" A voice shouted out.
