Chapter 3 Breaking and Entering

Snake positioned himself on the cliff above one of the soldiers. They wore woodland pattern camo. fatigues with red berets, no helmet or bullet-proof vest, not well suited for resisting projectiles to the head…

He chose a fairly large rock, and when the guards had their backs toward one-another, Snake chucked the stone down hard enough to knock the closer guard out, stone cold. When his patrol partner turned around, he spotted his friend spread eagled on the ground, unconscious. As he rushed over to his fallen companion, he failed to register Snake sliding down the sloped cliff and closing in from behind. As soon as the guard stopped, Snake had the bottom of his knife pressed hard against the soldier's back. The soldier reached for his gun, but Snake was quick to interrupt-

"Keep your hands where I can see them!"

Slowly, the guard raised his hands above his head. He said, "Hey!.. That's not a gun."

"Test my patience and you'll find out, but I doubt that knowing would do you any good. Drop the gun, take off your belt, step forward, and lie down with your fingers locked under your chest."

Cursing under his breath, the guard complied. Snake first grabbed the gun, a Berreta M92F, taking the butt of the gun and striking it into the back of the guard's head, effectively knocking him out cold. He then took the belt and used it to secure the sentry's hands. Snake searched the guard and managed to find two clips and a ration. Reluctantly, Snake pocketed the ration and walked over to examine the fence for a weak point. For all Snake knew, the barrier was electrified, and he wasn't going to be the one to test that possibility.

Snake did the simplest thing he could think of. Hoisting a guard over his shoulders, he tossed him into the fence. No buzzing, no flashing, Snake even checked the guard's pulse, No, still there. There was no sign of anything undesirable.

Snake climbed the fence, using his knife to cut the barbed wire to pieces. When he made it over, Snake weaved through the rows of tanks, (Snake noticed that they were virtually all shermans, a US tank from World War II) wary of guards as he skulked his way through the rows of shermans.

Trying to avoid a guard patrol, It quickly became clear that he had made a wrong turn. Growling came from behind, and Snake bolted, but it was already too late. The dog bounded after him, close enough to snap at Snake's heels. The hound leapt, tackling him to the ground, and he managed to slip arm under the dog's throat, barely preventing it's jaws from enclosing on his neck.

Using his legs, he vaulted the dog off of his chest over his head, and onto the pavement. He got up as the hound did, and teeth bared, the Doberman lunged.

Snake punched the dog across the skull. Wrapping his hands around the dog's neck, slamming it to the ground. Thrashing and snarling, he slammed the dog to the ground, constricting it's airways until it passed out. Snake let go, and walked away quickly to avoid detection, this time far more cautiously.

Snake made it outside the entrance to the building. He took cover behind a nearby power generator, taking in the surroundings in order to plan an infiltration method. The building itself was surrounded by an inner fence, with a spotlight guard tower on each corner along the perimeter. Snake spotted a hole below the one of the towers just big enough for Snake to slither through. Within the fence two trucks were parked left of the entrance, with a sentry on either side of the entrance.

He slid under the fence and crept over to the trucks, mindful to avoid the spotlights, opposite the side of the sentries. Snake tapped lightly on the chassis of the truck, catching the sentries' attention.

"Huh? Did you hear that?" One of the guards said, in thick Arabic.

"No,.. But the boss warned us about a security breach. You'd better go and check it out,.. Just in case."

Snake slid under the truck as the guard rounded the corner.

"See anything?" the second guard asked

"No, no… I guess it was ju..*Grunt*"

"Sasha?...Sasha!" the other guard crept over, only to find his partner slumped over, out cold. "What the..?" He reached for his radio. "Sentry 1138 to base…"

No answer.

"Repeat. Sentry 1138 to base." Not even static. "Damn!" he cursed, "Broken."

Snake slipped through the front door, dropping a pair of batteries as he proceeded inside.

Snake stood for a moment, stunned at the sight before him. There were six or seven rows of them, ten within each row. They were all M3C6 Goliath tanks, armed to the teeth with 135 mm shells, a small machinegun mounted at the top, and a six-round missile launcher, with spare missiles stored within the tank itself. Able to travel at 75 mph fully loaded, they're still too expensive for the US to manufacture.

*Call*

Snake heard a ring in his ear. Realizing it was the codec, he ducked behind the nearest tank and turned the knob to "RECEIVE"

*140.15* "Hello Snake, my name's Holly, Holly White. I trust that the Colonel has informed you of my duties here. I've been posing as a journalist for sometime now, so I've been able to take careful notes about how things work around here. I'm here to help you in any way I can, and I've been able to find out quite a bit about supply depots and their contents around the base."

"Do you know where I can find any stealth-specific weaponry?"

*140.15* "As a matter of fact, I do. There is a silencer for your Berretta on the floor directly above you, along with a very effective, very valuable prototype phase stealth camouflage suit as well. The room containing the suit is secret and considering it's value, I'd say it's a safe bet that it is heavily observed by armed guards as well. You may want to try retrieving the Mk. 23 before trying to get the suit. I've marked both items on your soliton radar system…Does that help at all, Snake?"

"Very helpful…Holly." Snake cut transmission and began his search for a way to the upper level.
