Chapter 2 – To Russia
Snake wasn't sure if his ears had played a trick on him.
"Otacon, are you sure about that?"
"I hacked it out of the Pentagons' classified files myself. I already read everything about it when we had left Shadow Moses. I'm pretty sure, yeah..."
"This can't be happening! You mean that this Tselinioyarsk..."
"Tselinoyarsk, Snake..."
"Stop it Otacon! ... That this TSELINOYARSK is the very same place where my old man had his first real mission...?"
Otacon nodded. "The very same, Snake..."
Snake sat down. He had to think about it once again and needed some rest. This had been quite a shock. He remembered what Otacon had told him:
'Tselinoyarsk is a place in Russia, about a hundred miles away from the border to the former West. Maybe you've heard about the Virgin Cliffs. That's the place...' Otacon had stopped and Snake remembered that he had wanted to hear the rest. Otacon had hesitated, but considering Snakes' evil glare he had continued speaking: 'Snake, what I'm going to say is that...'
'Spit it out, Otacon!'
'This is where your father completed his first big mission. This was the mission that made him to Big Boss. And his mission was to return a weapon scientist to the United States who developed some kind of nuclear device comparable to Metal Gear and to destroy the very same device. Remember, this was during the Cold War. The details are to complicated to tell you now. But I'll tell you later...' Otacon had stopped talking.
"Earth to Snake. We have a problem..."
Snake didn't show any sign of reaction. Otacon grinned and elbowed his friend. Snake woke up.
"Huh? Oh, Otacon. So, why didn't you tell me the whole story?"
Otacon waited for his answer. He wasn't sure about his friends' reaction. Then he decided to tell him the truth.
"Snake, Mei and I decided that it would be best if you would go..."
Snake interrupted him: "...go to Russia, too? You're crazy! We can't do that on our own! We don't have the eqipment, we don't have a plane, we don't have a plan!"
Otacon smiled. "Snake, you already forgot? We have a partner now..."
Snake didn't react. 'What do you mean?', he thought with himself. Then he got it. He wasn't pleased.
"Otacon, you can't be serious! You do trust them, right?"
"Yeah, sort of. I mean, the UNs' offer is our only chance to learn more about this affair. See, Tselinoyarsk was polluted by a nuclear explosion caused by a Russian Colonel named Volgin. Noone intelligent would go there without a good reason. Especially noone like Ocelot. We need to know about the details. So that's why you will go there."
Snake grunted. "You say, I WILL go there? How'd you know?"
"Oh, c'mon, Snake! I've known you long enough now. So please don't play dumb! I know you're going to go. Right?"
Snake thought about it for a moment. Then - slowly - he nodded.
"Great! I'll contact Mei. She already has organized the plane!"
"Wha-What? You already packed my panties or what..."
"Yes, my son... And change your underwear every day, promise me...". Otacon grinned about his motherly way of speaking. Snake didn't laugh. He grunted and made himself a cup of coffee. A strong one.
Two days later, he was in a plane which headed to Russia. Down below, he could see the jungle. Through the radio came Otacons' voice.
"Okay, Snake. Let's go over it one more time...and let me give you the details about your fathers' mission."
End Note: Sorry, this was a bit short. But I had not too much time (school lol). Hope you liked it. Next chapter is coming soon. Please R&R.
