Epilogue
(This is done in first person narrated by Snake)
"The date was January 29, 2010. It was the afternoon, about 2:30 PM. The complex was small and surrounded by mounds of snow. I knew where I was going however. It had been a month since that scare aboard Arsenal, but it is a new year now, and its time to readjust. I walked up the small stepa and into the lobby. I headed for the elevator, reminiscing my thoughts as I approached it. The elevator came and an elderly man stepped out. I got out of his way.
"Good day, sir," said the old man. I responded in a dim voice.
"You, too." I headed for the 3rd floor, room # 6. The elevator arrived at its destination and I walked down that lobby and stopped in front of a door, which read the following:
#6, the Sears Residence.
I knocked on the door and waited for a minute or so. Rosemary opened the door, her newborn child in hand.
"Hello, David. Jack is in office, I'm sure you know where it is." She raised her newborn's hand and made a waiving motion with it. I tickled the baby for a couple seconds, then thanked Rose as I headed down the hallway. It was a small, narrow hallway, it usually reminded me of those bloody hallways on Shadow Moses and inside Big Shell. I came to the end where I opened the door gently. I saw Raiden, which was his codename, sitting at his desk doing computer work for Philanthropy. He greetd me as I entered.
"Hey, Snake. Got any important news?" he asked. I had seen he had changed a bit, he had gotten his hair cut, thankfully in my opinion, and had some hair around his mouth area.
"Yeah, this is very important, that's why I came to tell you. The storm knocked out the telephone lines, so I had to hike my lazy ass over here."
Raiden and chuckled a bit. We got back to business moments later.
"It's about Meryl's location. As you probably remember, Ocelot took her captive a month ago. He haven't heard his whereabouts or anything after that until today."
"So, what have you heard?"
"We found out where she is. We also found out the whereabouts of something else, also. Earlier today, Otacon informed me he received an e- mail with an unknown username. It said that a new Metal Gear is being ready to be tested out. It is, however, different than that of a regular one. That's all he put for its description."
"Does this have anything to do with the Patriots? Did you find that chip in MAX?"
"Yeah, It didn't have any names, just a location of where they are now. But it is the same place where Meryl and Metal Gear are." I looked down, knowing I had to tell Raiden the dreaded place where it was. I didn't want to reveal it just now, so I stalled a bit. "Also, a swarm of those FOX units have been released at this place, which would make it more harder to penetrate."
"Yeah, but where is this place?"
"This isn't gonna be easy. This may be the most difficult mission I need to do."
"Can you tell me where this damn place is?" I couldn't hold it in any longer. He was going to find out where it was no matter what. So I prepared to tell him the place which I feared to tell, which I never hoped to return to again.
"OK. Meryl, Metal Gear, the Patriots, they are located in . . ." I licked my lips and looked down, I later recollected myself and finally told him. "They're at . . . SHADOW MOSES."
