Metal Gear Solid: The Hidden Source
Chapter 5: Snipers in the Field
February 27, 2017
Snake starts to make his way through the thick briars in the forest completely silent. All sorts of insects and small animals pass around his feet as Snake moves through the dense forest.
Suddenly, he hears a tree limb snap up above of him. Pulling out his SOCOM, Snake aims it up high, moving his laser point from tree to tree looking for a figure.
"Freeze!" yells Snake.
Nothing happens. No one comes out, but then again, who would? Snake was obviously a little fidgety.
Figuring out that it was nothing, Snake continues on his route. After about one and a half-hours of traveling, Snake is almost half way to the compound. Snake sits down by a large oak tree. Some reason, his GPS system starting messing up. Trying everything to get it to work, Snake had to finally contact Otacon.
"This damn GPS system doesn't work," Snake tells Otacon. He was clearly upset.
Otacon tries to encourage him by saying, "Don't worry, I can fix it. Let's see here... uhhh... well... it's not working. You're just going to have to go on instincts, Snake. Besides the GPS system, is everything okay?"
"I think someone's spying on me. I've heard a lot tree limbs break, more than I usually here," states Snake.
Otacon is chuckling a little bit. "Snake, you're in a forest. What did you expect?"
"You're not helping matters. I'm going to get back to work," Snake, upset, tells Otacon.
Snake stands up and continues forward looking around for the slightest movement. After another tough five minutes of traveling, he comes to the edge of a field. Snake gets out his Tantzler 17, which is equipped with a scope as powerful as one on a sniper rifle.
Moving from the canopies of every tree in the distance, Snake looks for a soldier since if he walked out in the field or even the edge, this would be the easiest way to kill the one and only Solid Snake.
Snake doesn't see anyone so he continues forward until he remembers that the scope is also equipped with thermal vision. Getting out his Tantzler 17, Snake once again runs by the trees with the scope quickly. This was proven to be a saving grace since there were 5 snipers lined up across the field.
Contacting Otacon over the codec, Snake says, "You never told me about snipers..."
"It's all in the line of duty, Snake," said Otacon. "I can't catch everything. The things I don't catch are your responsibility to find. Anyways, I just learned that this place is filled with land mines and sensors. Be very careful, Snake. I couldn't bear losing you at this point. We are only days away from finding out who the Patriots are, hopefully."
"I'll be fine as long as you find me things like this. I may have the greatest soldier in history's genes, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm perfect. Otacon, you have saved my life many time's before. This is another one of those times. I'll give you updates as I go along."
