DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN METAL GEAR SOLID BUT IF I DID…. I DUNNO BUT I DON'T. And for right now were going to have meryl name the "guy" john.

Reaching the hangar meryl exits the elevator casually and like a guard walks around without a point or like idiots. Meryl was for some reason attracted to that man. She didn't like thinking of him like that she needed a name for him she thought for a second then she came up with john. But what was he doing here? Who sent him? What was he doing? Did he really kill the DARPA chief? She didn't know but she wanted to find out but how… she wanted to find out more about his being here and about him. He was very attractive, extremely fit, and was obviously the man of her dreams. How could he look so much like the terrorist leader liquid snake with out being related to him and if he was is he part of the nuclear threat was he helping the launch or trying to stop it? How far does his intelligence go about it all? Does he know were the ARMS CORPS president Kenneth Baker is? She knew she had to find out one way or another. She had to find him first she knew he was still in the building because the door to the nuke building was sealed shut no one would get through until unlocked. So she once again headed for the elevator she went down the case of stairs next to the elevator her codec started to ring it was an unknown frequency…

" Who are you?"

"I was really impressed by the way yourself out of there."

"The one from the prison?"

" You're the colonels niece Meryl right?"

"No… its not him… just exactly who are you?"

" I'm the fool your uncle sent to this hell hole…"

"You came her alone trying to be some kind of hero or some thing?"

"I don't need lectures… your just like your uncle you know…"

"How do you know my uncle?…"

"We go way back"

"What's your name?"

"My names not important…"

"AHA, could you be solid snake? Are you the solid snake!"

"That's what some people call me…"

" The legendary solid snake? You! Sorry about before I wasn't sure if you were one of the good guys…"

" But I knew you were"

"How?"

"It's your eyes…"

" My eyes?"

" They're not soldier eyes…"

" Let me guess they're rookies eyes…"

"No… they're beautiful compassionate eyes…"

" just what I'd excpect from the legendary solid snake… trying to sweep me off my feet?"

"Don't worry. You'll land back on them once you meet me. The reality is no match for the legend, I'm afraid. "

" I don't believe that".

" Why did you look surprised when you saw my face?"

" Because you look just like him."

" ...You mean the terrorists leader, Liquid Snake?"

" Yeah, you know him? You're not brothers are you?"

" I have no family."

" So, what's the deal then?"

" Who knows maybe I'll ask him pesonally... But first I want some information. You were involved in this excercise from the beginning. What exactly happened here?"

"I'm sorry. I was captured along with President Baker right after the terrorist attack. "

": That's okay. But what is this place? I don't think it is just a nuclear wepaons disposal facility..."

" Boy oh boy... it's just like them! Nobody told you anything, did they? Okay... you see, this place isn't really for disposing nuclear weapons. This base is owned and operated by a dummy corporation of ArmsTech. "

" This is a civilian base?"

" Right. For the development of Metal Gear."

" Colonel!"

"FOX-HOUND and the Next-Generation Special Forces were called here for the test launching of a dummy nuclear warhead."

"Why FOX-HOUND?

"Because they're a Special Ops group used to handling top secret missions. They figured they could keep it all hush-hush. "

"But we must have fired nuclear warheads before. Why just this time?"

"I heard it was because this was to be a final test before the formal adoption of the Metal Gear program... that's what I heard anyway. "

Snake : Hmmm... sounds kind of fishy... So what do you think the terrorists want?

Meryl : Sorry, I'm not sure. I was captured with President Baker right after the revolt started.

Snake : Oh yeah, that's when he gave you the detonation override keys, right? Meryl : That's right.

Snake : Amazing you were able to keep 'em hidden from the guards.

"Well... women have more hiding places than men. Anyway, you met up with Baker, huh? How's he holding up?

"He's dead...

"What?

" Heart attack. Same as the DARPA Chief.

"The Chief died from a heart attck too?

"Yeah, was either of them sick or anything?

" No, not that I heard of.

" Well, I don't believe in coincidences. Something funny's going on.

" Hmmm. Sounds like it. But I have no idea what.

" Me neither... yet. Do you know the person who designed Metal Gear?

" You mean Dr. emmerich? Snake : Yes. Is he still alive?

Meryl : Probably. he should be in the second floor basemant of the Nuclear Warhead Storage Building to the north.

Snake : Second floor basement?

Meryl : Yeah, that's where his lab is. I think they're forcing him to work on the nuclear launching program.

Snake : So they'll need him alive until that's done anyway.

Meryl : Then we'd better do something before he finishes.

( snake and meryl decide the best route to rescue the doctor and that is to go between the to buildings in a canyon meryl goes to unlock the cargo door)

Wow the legandary solid snake this must be serious. What is the US going to do if the terroists have the capablility to launch a war head? But if they do what are they going to launch it with? Suddenly meryl heard a voice behind her

" PRIVATE"

meryl spins around to see a genome soldier.

"WHY ARE YOU LATE WITH YOUR STATUS REPORT?"

sounding as manly as she could she says…

" sorry sir ill get right on that I thought I saw an intruder…"

"Ok return to patrol"

meryl is surprised that, that worked she knew they were dumb but not that dumb…in fact she felt a litle sorry for them. She resumed to the security room and then enters the room and gets on the computer to access the main security. She finally opens the door and calls snake.
