Metal Gear Solid: Shadow Agenda
Chapter 15: Communications
Snake waited patiently for the door to open, but, to his amazement, it did not.
"Yes sir, right away.", the solider answered exictedly.
Snake breathed a sigh of relief. Had Snake been made to attack the solider, many good things would not come from it. Snake opened the door as he heard the solider run off. He then went quickly up the stairs. At the top he found another hallway that led to security level 4. Snake stepped up to the door, holding his security card over an electronic identity reader. The reader then asked for an i.d. and Snake held the i.d. he had over the reader. A green light came on and the door in front of him opened.
As he walked into the room, he found that there was no one inside. Snake stared up at a clock. The time read 6:30. Snake wondered now about many new things. Travelle had mentioned something about missle launches. Snake wondered if this was another Shadow Moses situation. Snake quickly found what he had been looking for, communication devices. One of the devices resembled a tiny satellite, like the kind intelligence used to retrieve and send messages. There was a sign posted near the dish, which was encased in glass. the notice read:
This is the SAT 9 datalink cell dish. This
is the only portable communications device
in the entire facility. Only personel with
level 4 key cards and identification may
take the device from it's case. The dish,
however must be returned when finished. If
it is not placed back in it's case within
a reasonable amount of time, the dish will
be reported as being stolen (and you
should know how theives are dealt with).
This device plugs into many different com.
systems. Even older models of cellualar and
nano devices have the ability to plug in.
The true purpose of this much is for
EMERGENCIES ONLY, so use wisely. Thank you.
Mr. Burnham,
Chief of Communications and Weapons
"I would call this an emergency.", Snake said put his key card into the slot marked 'key card' and the i.d. in the slot marked 'identity card'.
A buzzing sound went off, as a green light flickered on. The glass case opened and the dish shot out forward. Snake grabbed it, unplugging all the wires in the back keeping the dish in place. The dish wasn't very big. It was just the right size for the new age devices that were becoming ever so small as time went on. Snake looked at his codec. Since The Big Shell, improvements had been made to codecs worldwide, and one of them was the ability to add attachments to the new models. Snake found the plug on his codec and on the dish. He plugged the dish into teh codec.
Snake then ran down to the other end of the room where he found a weapons closet. He walked in and around to a spot where no one could find him if they came into the room. Snake buzzed his codec on and turned on Otacons frequency.
"Otacon, are you there?", Snake blared into the codec.
"Yes, I'm here Snake. You don't have to yell though!"
"Sorry, I haven't been able to reach you. This place is well guarded from outside intruders, but not guarded enough I guess."
"Well, it's not as if it has to be. That place that your in, apparently, is one of the worlds best kept secrets. I have been talkign to other people about info on the base and no one knows jack on the place."
"Thats all fine and dandy, but I have bigger things to deal with than that. I overheard something about missle launches."
"Missles. this is all starting to sound too familiar."
"I said the same thing. Now that I have communnication again though, I need your help. Anything new?"
"Afraid not. Like I said, no one knows anything, but I'm still digging. Oh, and there's something about that file. There's still another incryption. I think Ocelots biggest secrets are hidden pretty deep in there somewhere."
"Alright, Otacon, keep it up. I really gotta know what is going on."
"Sure thing Snake."
"Oh, and Otacon, good to have you back."
"You too Snake, you too."
...Meanwhile...
Missle launch control room, 7:00 A.M.
"Minelly, Lucas, reporting for duty, sir.", the solider said as he saluted Mr. White, Burnham, and Ocelot.
"At ease, solider.", Mr. White told him.
"Everything is ready to go, sir.", a solider sitting next to the launch button said.
"Good.", Ocelot said, sneering as he heard the word 'ready to go'.
"Don't you think this is a little premature. If the Former U.N. gets wind of our location, not to meention other organizations, we may not be ready in time to press on with our full plans. 10:00 was supposed to be the launch time. I believe we should wait.", Burnham told Ocelot, almost insiting.
"Well, Snakes escape from captivity has put wrench in our original plans, but I do have a backup. Snake will certainly answer to the launch if we go now. Then we won't have to chase him. He will come to us."
"I still think we may not be reacting wisely."
"Trust me, Burnham, I am no fool. I have dealt with Snake before. He'll definately come to us. As I say, the best way to catch a Snake is to give it a little incentive. Plant the bait, and he will come to you."
