"Everything May Be Lost"

Chapter 2: Into The Darkness

"All Right." Otacon said as we flew to our first search area for S.E.N.

Otacon seemed assured we were going to the right place. Otacon seemed assured about everything.

"Lets get you geared up." He said.

"We don't even know if this is the right place." I said. Otacon grew silent. He looked like he was keeping something from me. He never looked like that, not since the Tanker incident. He motioned me to follow him. I followed him to the back of the helicopter.

"I would give you a FA-MAS." He started.

Why would I of need a FA-MAS? Another sneaking mission?

"You're listening to an A.I.?" I said.

"Raiden did."

"He didn't know." I said back at him.

"You're still going."

"Fine, but you owe me big time Otacon."
