Chapter 11: Hostage
Snake is behind a few metal crates looking at Metal Gear MAX being assembled with weapons. He calls everyone, Raiden, Otacon, Mei Ling, Colonel, and Raiden.
Snake: I found it!
Ocelot: Where is it? What room?
Snake: It's in a large room that seems to be hidden. There is no door or passageway to enter.
Colonel: How did you enter the room?
Snake: I hitched a ride on a conveyor belt that led me here. There was a conveyor belt connecting two large rooms, one with RAY, one with MAX. Genomes were taking weapons from RAY and equipping them to MAX.
Otacon: Snake, Raiden, Campbell, there was engine trouble with our chopper and now we're aboard Arsenal.
Mei Ling: Raiden, where are you?
Raiden: I'm with the Colonel. We just witnessed Havoc and Poison kill Vamp.
Snake: What! But how?
Colonel: They said Vamp worked for the Patriots and was mind-controlled by them to undertake any task the requested. They controlled him to try and kill us.
Raiden: Havoc sent a sword through Vamp's heart. Before he died, he told us to defeat them two, for the sake of humanity, then he died.
Ivan: It all seems weird.
Snake: I know, but I'm not just going to sit here. Raiden, Colonel, move out. Now that we've found Metal Gear, we need to capture Ocelot and Liquid, and kill the Patriots' spies. Otacon, Mei Ling, and Ivan, stay put.
Otacon: I'm gonna try and repair the chopper. We'll still help you. Go find Ocelot, Liquid, Solidus, and the Patriots' spies.
Raiden: Gotcha.
All end transmisson. Right after they end, Snake gets another call, but the frequency is 141.93, he's never heard of it. Snake: Who's this.
Ocelot: Snake, you found Metal Gear, good job.
Snake: Ocelot! Why did you contact me? How do you know where I am?
Ocelot: That's an easy question. I have a giant radar of Arsenal right in front of me. I can see where you are.
Snake: It doesn't matter now, we've found Metal Gear and I'm going to destroy it.
Ocelot: Before you do, I have to tell you something. To keep you from tempering with our plans, we have a hostage kept in the holds. If you destroy Metal Gear, the hostage will die.
Snake: Who is this hostage?
Ocelot: I'm gonna put her online, maybe you know her, or has it been too long?
Hostage: Snake! It's me. I'm being held prisoner.
The voice seemed familiar, but Snake still didn't know who it was.
Snake: I'm sorry if I forgot who you are, but, who is this?
Hostage: Snake, It's me.Meryl.
Snake: Meryl!
Snake remembers back to Shadow Moses of all the times with her from the gunfight when she was dressed as a guard to the escape while fighting Liquid. He then talks to her.
Snake: Don't worry, Meryl. I'll save you.
Meryl: Please Snake! Rescue-
Ocelot: That's enough chit-chat, you can either destroy Metal Gear, or save your friend.
End transmission. Snake calls Raiden quickly.
Snake: Raiden, there's a woman held hostage here, her name is Meryl Silverbaugh.
Raiden: Meryl from Shadow Moses!
Snake: Yeah, she's being held in the holds. Have Mei Ling find them and tell you where they are. A voice transmits over an intercom in the room. It is Ocelot's voice.
Ocelot over PA: Intruder near the conveyor belt! Eliminate immediately! I repeat, intruder near the conveyor belt! Eliminate immediately!
Snake: Raiden, contact her. Her frequency is 140.15. Hurry!
Raiden: Alright, I gotcha Snake.
As they end transmission, Raiden hears gunshots over Snake's Codec. We now see Raiden with the Colonel in the room where Vamp is laying dead.
Raiden: Colonel, there is a hostage named Meryl Silverbaugh here, the one from Shadow Moses. I'm sure you remember her.
Colonel: I not only remember her from Shadow Moses. She's my daughter.
Raiden: What! Why is she here?
Colonel: All her life she wanted to be a soldier. She probably figures she can prove it here aboard Arsenal. I just know how she found out.
Raiden: Don't worry, Colonel. I'll save your daughter.
Colonel: Good, get in contact with her. I gotta rest here for a bit. That encounter with Vamp tired me a little. Exit this room and contact her, this room is abour to jam your radar and Codec, Havoc and Poison must've left a long-lasting chaff grenade as they left. I don't know how we didn't hear it.
Raiden: OK, good luck.
Colonel: Good luck Raiden.
Raiden then leaves the room before taking one last glance of the old Colonel slumpnig on the floor. End of chapter.
