Chapter 7: Secrets Unfolded

The screen was black. Only the Colonel's voice could be heard in the background.

Colonel: The year is 1960. The United States and the Soviet Union have reached there climax in the Cold War. There was classified intelligence of a new, nuclear weapon being developed deep in the hart of the jungle, in mother Russia. Many of our men have tried there best to investigate the situation, but all have failed. We cannot afford to lose anymore soldiers. The United States held there breathe and waited. One man stood up. There was one man good enough and crazy enough to get the job done. That man is known by his codename, Snake.

The lights flickered back on where Snake was sitting on a bench with a cigarette in his mouth and a pack of Marlboro Red's in his hand.

Snake: It's good to see you Campbell. I'm looking forward to this mission. How are the wife and kids?

Colonel: Glad of you to ask. Rebecca is doing fine and Roy Jr. just turned 17.

Snake: Good to here. What are my mission objectives?

Colonel: You will be dropped off 200 miles from where the mission will take place. Snake, we've monitored your training over the past two years, and for a forty year old man, you're very strong. I would say that you're still in your prime. But, have been professionally trained for survival. This isn't going to be just some short mission that will take place over the day. This mission will take at least 4 to 5 years for completion. It will be like none of your other missions. Do you think you can do it Snake?

Snake: I'm more than ready.

Colonel: Your moral seems great.

Snake: But why am I being dropped off so far away?

Colonel: The area is heavily guarded. This is a heavily secured project in a heavily secured area. These boys we're dealing with are serious.

Snake: Serious, but not as trained as I, Campbell.

Colonel: That is true, but you'll be going up against hundreds of soldiers. We will have care packages sent along the way with you. Take this radio; it comes with an ear piece. You and I will be communicating through this.

Snake: Why a radio? Couldn't the transmissions be intercepted?

Colonel: These radio transmissions are specially designed. The head set is programmed so only you can hear it and no one else. The time has come. Are you prepared?

Snake: Ok, I'm ready to go.

Snake equipped his SOCOM, and dagger to his camouflage sneaking suit. The plain propellers could be heard rotating from with inside of the building. Snake was making sure that both of his parachutes were strapped on tightly. He didn't want to have any bad falls. A young Ivan Shalashaska with his greases back, blonde hair approached Snake.

Ivan: Be careful Saladin. This is your sneaking mission preformed in the jungle.

Snake: Shalashaska! I thought you were part of the Soviet Union.

Ivan: I've abandoned her and joined up with the "winning team."

The picture began to fade out. It returned to modern day with Ocelot striking a pose of though.

Ocelot: I can remember it like it was yesterday. August 17, 1960, was the day I became a Patriot.

Patriot 4: Yes, I can remember it to. But there are still 3 men we need in order to complete the Genesis Army. You know who I'm talking about, Ocelot.

Ocelot: Both Solid and Liquid Snake. And the one other man needed, my dear comrade, Saladin Snake.

Patriot 5: Big Boss.

Ocelot: Oh, he'll be here soon enough. I knew all along that Big Boss was out there still alive. I thought that your Snake Eater was him at first, but when I go to looking, I released it was my former comrade, Total Apocalypse.

Patriot 4: Today we celebrate. There are only 70 hours remaining until we take over. But we still have to find away to capture Solid Snake.

Ocelot: What about Olga's child. Maybe we can find away to lure him in.

Patriot 4: No, I have a better idea. That idea is named Dr. Naomi Hunter!
