Chapter 2: Cruel Awakening
Lights, numbers and various computations that I couldnt make heads nor tails of flew past me almost blinding me. Then I was sitting in the HQ of Philanthropy with a throbbing headache and a cold sweat.
Otacon: 'You did good Snake, that was European Extreme Mode James Bond himself couldn't get himself outta that mess.' Otacon's voice rang from across the room. I looked towards him he was at the computer but facing me looking concerned. A loud clap of thunder shook the room, I must have been in that VR for hours, when I got here there were no clouds.
Snake: 'I gotta smoke I'll be back in a few.' I undid all of the fastenings and wires that hooked me into the VR world and strode off. At the bottom of the steps I took the gray rain parka.
I wandered along the empty sidewalk with water sloshing under foot and beads of rain bouncing off of my face. I felt empty inside, that VR felt so real... it actually scared me. All the real unsavory characters I came across in the past six years. I walked across a small coffee shop and saw happy faces smiling laughing. I envied them so much that it hurt. I turned my head and walked away and tossed my butt on the ground. There was a nudie bar across the street, that was more fitting to cheer me up than some yuppies.
I walked out almost four hours later completely hammered stumbling when a car stopped in front of me.
Otacon: 'I thought I would find you here. Cummon,' said Otacon as he stepped out and opened the back door for me.
The next morning light pierced my eyes like a bullet, my head was throbbing and confused.
Otacon: 'Snake, You up yet?' he called from the other room
All I did to answer was grumble. My room was empty except for a desk that had a computer and a lamp on it and the bed on the opposite side of the room. I walked like a zombie to the door, my feet felt like I was wearing a pair of cement shoes from one of those mafia flicks.
Otacon: 'Snake! You up' I got something o show you!' He was anxious 'Its about a new Metal Gear!'
Snake: '!?!' suddenly the cement shoes were chipped from my feet and I flew down the stairs. The computer room had four people in it aside from Otacon and me. Raiden, Mei Ling, Meryl, and...
Snake: 'SOLIDUS!!' I balled my fists and lunged at him
