Ocelot visited the brig today along with a diamond dog soldier holding clothes.
"We brought you some clothes," he said. "You should put them on, so the staff here won't get the wrong impression."
I simply turn my head away from him in disgust as the diamond dog soldier walks into the cage. He tried to hand me the clothes, but I ignore him. He then made the bad decision to try to put the clothes on me and in response I kicked to the edge of the cage and he fall unconscious. Ocelot orders another soldier to grab the unconscious soldier and take him to a medical room.
"Okay, clothes are a no-no," Ocelot jokingly said.
Ocelot enters the cage, which is strange considering what I just did to the soldier. He must think that I can't hurt him.
"So, is there any reason you don't talk?," he asked.
What a stupid question. Even if I could talk, why would I tell him?
"I understand that you wouldn't want to talk to us," he said, "But we should at least form some way of communicating."
I remain silent as Ocelot exits the cage. Then to my surprise, Big Boss walks into the brig. Ocelot proceeds to explain to Big Boss about my condition and then suggests that he take me on a mission. Big Boss remains silent and the two leave the brig. I slip out of my cage and turn invisible. I walk out of the brig and dash to the Combat Unit platform. I enter armory, grab my confiscated gear and dash to Command Platform where I find Big Boss about to get on a helicopter.
I quietly make my way to the chopper and lean against it. Miller begin to look around and slams his stilt against the chopper. Realizing that I've been discovered, I make myself visible which shocks Big Boss.
"Quiet?," He asks.
"Where does she think she's going?," Miller asks.
Ocelot seems to understand my intent and asks me, "You want to head out with the boss?"
Obviously against the idea, Miller answers Ocelot with, "That'll be the day."
Ocelot turns his attention to Big Boss and says, "I don't see a problem with it as long as she's with you. She's a crack shot – a damn fine scout. Well suited for a clandestine op. more than I can say for the others."
Miller speaks up and says, "There's nothing "damn fine" about this… thing!"
Ocelot hands me his Tornado-6 Revolver and challenges me to shoot upwards without shooting the chopper's blades. As I focus on the individual blades, Miller chimes in and points out, "Wait a minute! That thing cost a lot of money!"
Ocelot silently pushes Miller back and motions me to continue. I shoot all 6 bullets through the blades and hand Ocelot his revolver back.
"She can see each individual blade," said Ocelot. "And her depth perception…"
Big Boss approaches me and asks, "You want in?"
"This is ridiculous!," Miller said. "She can't even talk! How could you possibly stay in communication?"
Big Boss remains silent and then says, "Right. I like working solo anyway."
Big Boss enters his helicopter and it takes off.
"Don't worry," said Ocelot. "You'll get your chance."
"Over my dead body," Miller sneered.
"Don't give her any ideas, Miller," Ocelot jokingly said.
I walk back to my cage and take a nap. When I wake up, I look at the sky and realize it's night time. Soon, I hear a man screaming and walk out of the brig. To my surprise, I find a group of soldiers staring at a staff members hanging off of a broken crane over the ocean. Miller walks up to the group and asks, "How the hell did that happen?!"
"We don't know," said a Diamond Dog staff member. "But he's about to fall!"
I don't know why, but I scale the medical building and jump on the crane. I approach the staff member as he begs me to go away. Against my better judgement, I grab him and begin to pull him up. Suddenly, the crane falls apart and we plummet to the ocean. I throw the staff member to the platform and prepare myself for impact. Suddenly, I hear a helicopter nearby and the next thing I know I'm pulled into one. I turn around and I'm shocked to find I was once again rescued by Big Boss. The helicopter lands on the Medical Platform's helipad and we jump out of it. Miller walks up to me and says, "What are you doing out of your cell? Get back in there now!"
"That's enough, Kaz," said Big Boss.
"Enough? But Boss-,"
Big Boss stops Miller and looks at me.
"You're in," said Big Boss.
"This is crazy, Boss," said Miller. "We can't trust her."
"She saved one our comrades, even though she didn't have to," said Big Boss. "She deserves a chance."
Miller angrily walks off and Big Boss says, "Get some rest. You start tomorrow."
Big Boss walks off and out of the corner off my eye I spot Ocelot standing on top of the medical building. I notice a detonator switch in his hand and he salutes me. So, he set up this entire fiasco just so I could get on Big Boss' good side. I don't know why he's trying to help me, but I guess I should be grateful for his assistance.
