One year later...

One later, Snake is reading "Times": Today it is exactly one year since the terror action against a nuclear power plant outside London. Parts of London are still evacuated after the explosion. The police said (back then) that a fire started in a control room, and the firefighters could not stop it. Today we know that the fire was caused by some kind of explosion, likely by terrorists. Next week the government will hold a press conference where they will release some information about the terrorists, who they are and how they're going to take them. So now it is just to wait."

"Otacon, do you think they know that we are involved?" Snake asks. HE and Raiden and of course Otacon are sitting in a bar in New York.

"I don't know. Let's hope not. By the way I found out some more about the new metal gear." And Otacon gives them a sign that say's they should switch over to nanocommunications.

"The new metal gear, as you said snake, is a flying weapon. To be precise, it's a satellite! But this metal gear has no nuclear weapons; nothing to protect it self whit, just the GW system. So I would guess that another type of metal gear is under construction. But that I have already confirmed. Both of the metal gears prototypes are housed on a military HQ right outside San Francisco. But the only way to get there are trough the air. So both of you, listen Snake, have to infiltrate the HQ whit two parachutes. I can fly you over there whit my helicopter, that's no problem. The security is very tight and you have to land in the sea about 500 meters from the facility. I will come after you, somehow! The HQ has ten floors under the ground and the metal gears are, of course, in the floor -10. We can not destroy the metal gears. We have to implant a virus I have created. The only way to install the virus is by a computer that is in there. The exact location is not known and we can not find out before we get there!"

"Hmm, ok. How should we find out where the computer is?"

"Like the Big Shell, you have to log on to a node to get a map over the facility! By the way, this time it won't be terrorist that holds the metal gear, but the government. So try not to kill anybody unless it is necessary. Got it Snake?"

"Yeah, but Olga is one of the Patriots, right. Wouldn't that say it is a change that Olga is there?"

"Yeah, maybe it is her that stands in charge for the security! Let us go home me!"

Otacon, Snake and Raiden drives home to Otacon in a very rusty car. To be more precice: a Norwegian car called troll.

"Ahh, do you still have this car, hehehe!" Snake says while he laughs.

"Yeah, in fact I do! It was not necessary to something like that!" Otacon cries.

"You shouldn't say much either. You always complain about my relationship to my cigarettes!"

"SNAKE, I don't like that tone."

"Oh no, bad for you! So, do you still live whit your parents?" Snake asks

"No, you know very well that I don't have a real family! Damn you!!" Raiden tries to calm the whole situation down whit some tricks he learned on TV, but Otacon hits Snake in his face.

"AAAAAAARHHHG, you shouldn't have done that! Now it's time for revenge. Besides I have never liked you and your proverbs." And then snake takes up a hammer.

"noooooooooo, don't do that!" Raiden shouts out and he covers Otacon, but it is too late. Snake hits Raidens head so hard hat Raiden blacks out.

"ohhh, see what you have done! That is so typical you; violence is the answer to everything!" Otacon claims.

"It was you that started!!!!!!"

Luckily nothing more happens between Snake and Otacon!

* Some weeks later:

"Snake and Raiden, it's time to jump. Snake, you have the discs?" The three guys are now over the HQ and are about to jump from the helicopter. The weather is terrible, almost impossible to fly, so it is a great risk to jump now, but there is no way back.

"Raiden, you first. You take all the weapons and Snake takes all the rations."

"What about my cigarettes?" Snake asks and his eyes have an expression that's say: Ahhhrg, can't...live.without..cigarettes!'

"I can take them whit me, but will you take the chance." Otacon has no choice than to take the cigarettes whit him. He has some bad experiences whit that!

Then Raiden and Snake jumps......
