I think mimic's getting impatient. Anyway, you guys are REALLY starting to
ask questions that'll spoil the story. But Rose's motive should be
obvious....... Anyway, like I said, this is a serious fic, but I can't
help but throw in some laughs.........
///////////////////////////////////////
Chapter 19 - Information and a few laughs at no expense.....
While Snake and the others were getting things like body armor from the armory, Otacon called.
Raiden, I have more info on Falcon.
Geez! How much more?
A lot. I think I found out his motive in the whole affair. It ties in with a mental quirk picked up when they took a psychological profile on him before putting him in Juvenile hall. It seems that he detested adults for his life, and apparently, he saw this as a way to get back at all but those he trusted. Namely, Neo-Foxhound.
Pretty warped philosophy. Snake commented.
Well, yeah, but they also found out he hates the reality in his life, and was trying to 'fix' it with his VR technology. I managed to hack a few of his personal programs from the computers there, and they're simulations of a normal life.
You mean.... Meryl started.
Bingo. A normal life, family, friends, everything he could think of, all simulated. What bothers me is that it contradicts his philosophy of hating adults. It doesn't make sense.
Then Raiden remembered a few things.
Otacon, did you dig up more info on his androids?
Yeah, they were ultimately banned because they were TOO human. He nailed every detail down. Even the androids themselves were fooled into thinking they were human. Nothing short of a complete autopsy will due to prove if they're human or not. He even made a substance that reacts just like human bone, only stronger. He's a genius!
Then Raiden got an idea.
What if Falcon wasn't actually assisting Neo-Foxhound?
WHAT!?!?! Meryl yelped, But he...
Hold on a minute! Raiden might have something. Falcon's main flaw with the androids was that when trying to duplicate a person exactly with one, he ALWAYS got the personality wrong. Even his own android with the robotics company was flawed, and was too cooperative and cheerful.
I think I got it.
Otacon blinked.
What's your idea Raiden?
If I could make a double of myself to use in battle, I'd use it instead of risking my own neck. Wouldn't Falcon do the same?
......
Then everyone realized Raiden had a point.
You mean Falcon was never at Rising Heaven to begin with?
Who knows, but he's probably in one of those simulations right now.
Then that'd explain why I found the VR programs running from somewhere in the States......... But Falcon really seems to want to abandon reality. He even integrated a rather odd system. If he's hurt or dies in the VR world, he'll die here!
Aw geez! Let me guess.....When this is over, we're pulling the plug on his video games. Raiden commented.
Would you rather leave him like that? Meryl added.
They were about to talk more, when they heard voices. They then noticed that the wall was actually a two-way mirror, and they were watching Liquid and the others in some sort of break room. Since there were probably a lot of guards to kill them if they tried to kill them now, they remained silent, and watched.
"Wolf, I have a question." Liquid stated.
"Yes?" Wolf asked while wiping off her sniper rifle.
"Why DID you come back to the terrorist game? I thought you hated it."
"As long as Snake's still alive, I still have prey I need to kill....."
Then Snake felt the scar from Wolf's nails that she made back at Shadow Moses.
"And here I thought you had a crush on me...." Liquid said jokingly.
"LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Enigma shouted as she ran into the room, and dove for cover behind the couch Liquid was sitting on.
"What the hell?"
Then Rose Bane ran in, wearing a snap-brim fedora, a leather jacket, and carrying a bullwhip. He also had a somewhat sleepy look in his eyes.
"What the hell's going on?" Liquid asked.
Then Rose Bane set his sights on Liquid, and lashed the whip.
"ARE YOU A TRAITOR!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
"RETURN THE CROSS!!!!!!!!! IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Cross!?!?! What cross!?!?!?!"
"HE'S SLEEPWALKING!!!!!!!!!! HE WAS WATCHING AN INDIANA JONES MARATHON HE HAD ON TAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Enigma shouted, giving the answer to the odd dilemma.
Snake, Raiden, and Meryl stifled chuckles. Then Rose Bane snapped the whip, and Enigma yelped when it smacked her butt. Then the three heroes were struggling to keep from laughing. When Vamp entered the room, things REALLY got out of control........
"Rose Bane, why are you whipping the others!?!?!" Vamp demanded.
Then Rose Bane turned around. Vamp drew his knife, ready for combat. Rose Bane just took out a revolver, and shot Vamp. Vamp parried the bullet, but Rose Bane apparently saw his as dead. Then Enigma slapped Rose Bane for the butt whipping, and Rose Bane started rubbing his cheek.
"Owwwww..... Enigma, what was that for?"
The others blinked. Then Rose Bane noticed his attire and weapons, and sighed.
"Not again....... First it was James Bond, and now Indiana Jones........"
"So.....what did he do as 'James Bond'?" Liquid asked.
"I don't think he...." Enigma started.
Then Rose Bane's watch sounding the hour cut off Enigma.
"Hmmm. My watch is a few minutes behind..... I'd better...."
As soon as Rose Bane pushed the button on his watch, an explosion was heard, and everyone fell over. Then they saw several guards and parts of a wall fall past the window.
"That's not coming out of my paycheck, is it?" Rose Bane asked.
