Sorry for the short as all hell chapter today. But as I said episodic meaning they can be long or short. I'll make it up next time though. So don't freak out.

…..

A tape starts up, and immediately the sound of dishes clanking was heard.

"Hmm… there has to be something missing. I have to create the best burger." Miller's voice was heard.

"Commander Miller…. I-I can't eat anymore." A soldier's complained.

There was sounds of people moaning in agreement.

"Don't give up on me yet soldier! Just have to get through at least three more burger! I have to find a way to make them divine."

Moans of pain resounded once again as the tape cuts off.

Another one starts up. "Commander Miller, Sir!"

"What's up, soldier?"

"Sorry to tell you this now sir. We're really disappointed in ourselves for not finding this out sooner!"

"Slow down you haven't told me yet."

"I think it would be better just to show you sir!"

"Alright lead the way."

About a few minutes of feet walking was heard, after that a door opening and closing.

"What's this? It looks so… shiny? Thin? Slim?" Miller couldn't make heads or tails.

"Commander. This is a television."

"What? Sorry soldier, but I have to say that's complete bull."

"It's true sir. Here I'll show you."

A new voice made itself known, "It'll be a sunny day in Leanbox, after that freak storm yesterday, so grab those hats and head to the beach."

"Wow. It's so clear and full of color."

"That's what the R&D team said too. They're currently dismantling one right now, see how it works."

"Soldier, give the order to- Hang on what's this?"

"That? It's something called a game console."

"Game console?"

"It's a device that allows you to play something called videogames. This console right here is called the Leanbox X."

"Videogames?"

"It's kind of hard to explain, but I'll show you."

The tape fasts forwards ahead.

"This is fun!"

"Yeah."

"How come we haven't thought of something like this?"

"I don't know."

The tape fast forwards once again.

"Alright. Soldier give the order to the R&D team to put a T.V in about every room where it's appropriate. Give everyone a T.V in their room too."

"Yes sir!" The sound of the soldier running off was heard.

"Videogames huh? It looks stupid, but once you play it, it's amazing. I have to play with Snake sometime. I wonder if we could use it to bet?"

The tape ends there.

….

Nisa just got back from her…. Fail-? Complete-? It is rather hard to define, because she didn't complete it, a random factor did, so a middle ground?

Right now she was speaking with Kaz.

"So a random woman knocked out everyone, and that woman and the trench coat woman went somewhere else?"

"Yes."

"Huh. Sorry to hear that your thunder got stolen."

"So what are we going to do with all the knocked out people?"

"They have two choices, either work of MSF, or we can just let them go."

Nisa tilted her head in confusion, "Work for MSF? Why wouldn't that- I don't know- uh. Be extremely bad."

"Don't worry we make sure that they're telling the truth about joining. We don't really keep prisoners here. Unless they're a high ranking official that is. Gonna have to be straight with you here. Most of MSF are captured enemies."

"Captured enemies?"

"Basically kidnapping, but…. Yeah kidnapping. Don't get the wrong idea however it's entirely consensual, if they don't want to work here so be it, we just have to blind them, then drop them off in a safe area away from base."

"I thought something was suspicious about this place, but now I know….."

"Know that should convince you we're not heroes."

"On the contrary it does!"

"What?!" Kaz once again found himself dumbfounded.

"Even though the kidnapping is wrong…. I'll let is slide. Your enemies willingly join you to become your ally. That says something about your status in your world. You don't force anyone to work for you. Amazing!"

"What are you going on about?"

"Everything!" A cheerful shout.

"Guhhhhh." Kaz sighs.

….

"So are you sure you want to see the potential recruits? They are ASIC goons." Kaz told Nisa as they walked to see the potential recruits in the brig.

"Actually I want to see how you convert people to your side."

"I guess I could show you how. These are the ones who were transporting cargo. This should be easy."

They walked into the brig to find the ASIC goons up and roudy. Luckily placed in a single cell, large enough for all of them.

As any prisoner would they made assumptions and prattled.

"You'll never get anything out of me!"

"Just wait till ASIC comes to rescue us. You'll be sorry!"

"How long do you intend to keep us in here!?"

Nisa took a step back seeing the women being immediately hostile, but her next step of action would be to cover her ears, because Miller just shot a pistol into the roof.

Miller puts it back after seeing all eyes on him silenced.

"Now then. You've got two choices." He lifted two fingers into the air.

"One is to join us!" He paused to let it sink in, "or reject joining us." He left out a small bit.

"Join you? The hell kind of joke is that?"

"A serious one."

"You kidnapped us!"

"Yes, but it's a better alternative than death."

A few minutes of arguing ensued. Nisa watched on as Miller never raised his voice in hostility, calmly answering accusations. She continued to watch as he slowly convinced each and everyone one of them to join MSF. From promising to keep their families safe, to questioning if they were treated right at ASIC, to, to even assuring them they will be fed and treated equally, as if family.

"Crow! Escort them to the training area!"

"Yes sir!"

Nisa watched as they let the prisoners out and escorted them to a so called training area.

…

"Alright, Nisa time to put you through the most important training you've ever been through." Snake told her.

Not long after she witnessed the conversion process, Miller told her to meet Snake on the warehouse platform. Said it was a form of making it up to her for the mission.

"Alright. I am ready." She had to be ready, she didn't know what he could teach her. It could be anything.

"Alright. I will teach you…. The ways of the Box!" Snake pulled a cardboard box from the side and hide his body inside it.

"Ehh?"

Nisa was beyond all doubt confused.
