Unofficially
(This is just a really crappy overview of Metal Gear Solid. Chapter one is where the other stuff starts)
Prologue - Shadow Moses Incident
It was early in the morning when the revolt happened. Special- operations unit FOX-HOUND led Next Generation Special Forces to take over a nuclear weapons disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island off the coast of Alaska, officially making themselves terrorists. Threatening a nuclear strike they demanded that the remains of a former military hero, Big Boss, be submitted to them within twenty-four hours. The government responded by keeping a lid on the situation and sending in a former member of FOX-HOUND to infiltrate the facility
The man was known only by his code-name, Solid Snake. He was the one who took down Outer Heaven and the riot in Zanzibar, but now was a retired sled dog musher in Alaska. He was retrieved, briefed, and given contact to a support crew of military analysts and weapons experts and inserted by submarine to the facility with the objectives of rescuing the chief of DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and finding out if the terrorists really were capable of nuclear launch.
Snake successfully infiltrated the facility and located the DARPA chief, who more carefully detailed the revolt and revealed that a weapon of mass destruction called Metal Gear was under development at the facility. Metal Gear was essentially a nuclear equipped walking battleship with the ability to make a nuclear launch from anywhere. Snake had dealt with it before. So it was confirmed that the terrorists had the capability of nuclear launch. The chief of DARPA suddenly died of a heart attack after he disclosed the information.
This all was the start of a nightmare for Snake. He continued through shadow Moses as his superiors continued to command and double cross him, running into members of FOX-HOUND and the genome army along the way. He also met two people of importance as he went along: Meryl Silverburgh, on of his superiors' niece, and Hal Emmerich, or Otacon as he liked to be called. He was a scientist and technician being forced to work on Metal Gear. Meryl eventually fell to the hand of a cruel fate, but Otacon survived, and Snake was forced to destroy Metal Gear and his own brother, the leader of FOX-HOUND, Liquid Snake.
Otacon and Snake escaped through an underground tunnel and died when their jeep flew off a cliff directly outside. That was the official story. Unofficially, though, is an entirely different story.
Chapter one will come soon
