Scene 011
Fade-in.
Fade in on a dark room. There's a man sitting on the floor. He has on an overcoat and is holding a cane. It's Kenneth Baker. Snake walks up with gun isn't drawn.
Snake: God, I hope I'm not too late.
Snake walks up closer to Baker.
Snake: Your the ArmsTECH President Kenneth Baker right?
Baker: Yeah, that's me. [Groans in pain a little]
Baker's arm is broken.
Snake: What's wrong?
Baker: ...he broke my arm..
Snake: Who? Who did it?
Baker: OCELOT! That fool tortured me.
Snake: Tortured you? For what?
Baker: ...he enjoyed every second of it...a monster.
Snake: What did he torture you for?
Baker: The security code of course. He can't get to Metal Gear with out it.
Snake: Metal Gear!? What do you mean?
Baker: The new propulsion system we've developed.
It utilizes a rail gun charger, therefore it can fire a bomb at fast speed's.
Snake: Wait a minute. You can't equip that thing with a...
Baker: Nuclear bomb? Well...no...not really. However...
Snake: There's always a however.
Baker: No, your gonna want to hear this however.
Snake: What is it?
Baker: Here at ArmsTECH, were always ready for the next war, it's the way we make our money. The use of nuclear weapons, only increases our customers demands.
Snake: I thought that the treat of nuclear weapons ended with the Cold War.
Baker: No you fool! That was nothing but a front!
Snake: A front! What the hell are you talking about a front!? The whole nation saw the signing of the treaty!
Baker: That's what the public was led to believe. If you were in the government's position, would you really want your tax payers to know that part of their taxes were going towards the development of nuclear weapons!? That's why that was setup the way it was, to let the public go about their lives.
Snake: Don't you think the public would care to know this!?
Baker: What public!? You mean those people! They don't need to be bothered with this! They just want to go about their lives eating cheeseburgers, watching TV and hoping that there's a tomorrow. That is why nobody knows about this new project by us.
Snake: Your talking about Metal Gear.
Baker: The very same. With the implication of the new rail gun launcher, we can launch a nuke without the need of a heavy prolusion unit. Since it's computer controlled, there's also no need for any attachments. Because there's no propulsion device, the weapon renders nothing on the radar.
Snake: You people have been developing a stealth weapon, invisible to radar! How much is the government paying to keep your mouths shut!?
Baker: What are you talking about? We're privately funded.
Snake: Hold on a minute here. This is ArmsTECH. The weapons facility, a division of the US government. Right?
Baker: No, not in any way are we associated with the government.
Snake: But…
Baker: They buy from us from time to time, but we aren't funded by them. Wait a minute, who are you?
Snake: I'm Snake, I'm with FOXHOUND Special Forces.
Baker: FOXHOUND huh? Now it's beginning...uh...to...[groans in pain again, only louder]...to make sense.
Snake: Are you alright?
Baker: I'm fine. Listen, you need to find a girl by the name of Natasha Romenenko, she can fill you in on the details of the actual product. I will tell you one last thing however. I do not know who the terrorists are, but I do know that they are going after that launching device. The codename of it is Metal Gear. Find Natasha, they should be keeping her alive since the final specs haven't been completed yet. Stop them. If they get a hold of that weapon it could be the end. Tell the rest of your squad to hurry up!
Snake: Squad? This is a one man mission Baker.
Baker: What!? No! NO! [hit's Snake with cane in leg] That's not what you promised, Jim, that's not what you promised!!!
Snake: Jim? Jim who?
Baker: Jim Houseman!
Snake: The secretary of Defense!?
Baker: I lied! I know more about this then you'll ever know! The truth is, we've always been trying to develop this weapon! Every year, there's about 600 pounds of MUF.
Snake: MUF?
Baker: Material Unaccounted For, it proves that there is a huge market for Nuclear material. Like I just said, we've been developing this type of nuke for ages, just now, we've finally found out that it wasn't the nuke, it was it's launching device that needed a make over. Finally, we did it, with the production of Metal Gear.
Snake: What were you saying about Jim Houseman?
Baker: There is only one Metal Gear, it cost over a billion dollars to make.
Snake: You guys must be pretty well funded.
Baker: You have no idea [chuckle]. Jim Houseman said that he was gonna send in a squad to help get me out of here.
Snake: Why are you making deals with the SOD?
Baker: Because, he wants Metal Gear. If the US can get its' hands on it, they can rise to the top as the military titan.
Snake: I thought we were the strongest.
Baker: When you talk about power, there's no such thing as being the strongest. The reason we were making deals is because, after he sent in that squad, it was set that he would recover the Metal Gear and get me out of here, that is what I thought you came here for. I guess he took the plans and ran.
Snake: I wouldn't be too sure, I haven't seen a single US solider yet.
Baker: Listen, I've told you what I know. Find Natasha, she might be your last hope! As for me...I'm not sure if Jim will ever get me out of here..but...[cough]...[grown in pain, loud]...I...AHHHHH! NO! Jim!!! NO!!! You promised! Not like this!
Baker gets up on his knees and falls to the ground.
Baker dies.
