Snake slid a clip into his Socom, and walked out the door in the towards the Main Cargo Hold. He stepped out inside now inside the room, with the large tank. He walked up the gangplank, and saw a door, jammed open, he grinned seeing that it had a level 5 security level lock on it. "This must be it," Snake thought to himself.

Snake stepped in the room, and looked closely at the arm to 'Metal Gear X' he glanced at the computer screen, something was typed on it. It read, "Snake, this is Raiden, I saw Liquid here, He fell over the railing to your left and I havn't seen him since. I'd be careful, I'm off to find the other parts of 'Metal Gear X' wish me luck!

P.S. Contact me on the Codec when you receive this, thanks.

Snake exited the note and switched on his Codec, paging Raiden.

"Snake here, what's up Raiden?"

"Whaazzzzupppp!!" Replied Raiden.

Snake followed along and said, "Whhhazzzzzzuppp!!!??" Snake chuckled.

"Ok, seriously, I'm in Cargo Hold 2, there's nothing here. But I think they may have the body, and head in higher security rooms."

"Ok, I'm looking at the arm now. I don't see Liquid, but I'll continue to be cautious, I'm copying the blueprints of the arm to a disk I have here, I'll send it over to Kaos and see what he has to say about it, Thanks Raiden."

"No problem, Snake." And the Codec conversation ended, Snake walked down the plank, leading to the lower level, Snake slowly took out his Socom and began looking around, it was kind of dark. Snake took out his N.V. Goggles, and strapped them on, looking around. The goggles suddenly turned, got excruciatingly bright, and Snake ripped them off nearly blinded. Seeing that someone turned on the lights, he switched on his Stealth, and crawled up the plank, and watched Otacon enter the room, now working on the computer.

Snake crept up behind Otacon and stuck his Socom to the back of his neck, turning off his Stealth Camouflage.

"Hello, friend." Snake grumbled, not happy at all.

"Hey, Snake I was going to tell you that I was coming but I lost contact with you."

Snake looked puzzled and lifted up his shirt, showing him the red mark where 'Otacon' had punched him.

"You didn't do that? You weren't there with Tyde?"

"Tyde?"

"..It must not have been you. But someone who looked exactly like you, Otacon. When I say exactly, I mean EXACTLY."

"..Snake I never told you about this, but I was cloned, the military wanted a clone of me just in case something happened to me, during the Son's of Liberty operation. You see, if Emma and I had died, they wouldn't have been able to complete Arsenal, but with a clone just in case they would have been able to complete the 'Ultimate War Machine'."

"I see.." Snake looked down at Otacon still somewhat puzzled.
