INTRODUCTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my first submission to Gamefaqs, so be gentle. I decided to write this
up after many months of frustration on the Message Boards. Some people were
blatantly misunderstanding the story and plot of the Metal Gear Solid series,
and I was tired of reading these posts. Konami, thank their souls, decided to
release "Document" which I hoped would help clear up any confusion about the
game. This direct copy of the script provided in Document is my little piece in
trying to clear up people's confusion. Any divisions within the script were
there in the game. I tried to make this look as close to the image on my
television as I could. Also, I actually copied this down with only about 95%
accuracy. There were some obvious grammatical and spelling errors due to a
severe lack of proof-reading by the development staff --tsk tsk gentlemen. But
I guess one can forgive them since a new game is in the works, Substance. So, I
basically corrected most misuses of punctuation and left the rest as is so I
wouldn't be accused of doctoring the script. I hope you enjoy and that this
provokes serious Message Board participation. Please note that there will be an
accompanying script to the Plant Chapter forthcoming. The two files are way too
large to include in the same FAQ.
Make sure you use the section headings to navigate through the script. The file
is very large and it can be tough to fin your place after not reading for a
while.
Enjoy

P001_01_P01 Opening Infiltration 1, Polygon demo 1
Verrazano Bridge
April 29th, 2009
The sky is a deep, cloudless blue. Verrazano Bridge, their dark gray
bodies lit by the glare reflecting off the water’s surface. The bridge
has been sealed off, and military and police personnel mill about on the
bridge. Global Positioning Satellite data is relayed in real-time to the
numerous monitors. The scattering of bright points of light over the map
of the harbor area reveal the scope of the security forces at work
guarding the plant. Police officers follow the path of the choppers from
the bridge railing, Binoculars raised. A simple briefing audio consisting
of the Colonel’s voiceover starts.
Colonel:
Snake, do you remember the sinking of that tanker 2 years ago?
Raiden:
Of course.
Colonel:
Terrorists blew a hole in an oil tanker full of crude barely 20
miles off the shore of Manhattan - - your classic nightmare. It
didn’t take long for the government to put an oil fence around
the whole mess. And then that massive offshore cleanup facility
went up inside.
Raiden:
The “Big Shell”. I hear the cleanup isn’t quite over yet.
Colonel:
It takes time. But in the meantime, the Shell’s become a landmark,
a symbol of environmental protection.
Run “Big Shell Background” lines over the demo sequence to this point.
Team leader:
Calling Teams Alpha and Bravo…
Team leader:
Deploy at the Big Shell as scheduled.
Sound bites from the SEAL team leader’s radio call
The choppers are flying low, almost skimming along the ocean surface.
Military and police crafts bob on the water near the bridge trestles,
blocking sea traffic into the harbor. The camera pans to take in the giant
offshore plant. The plant consists of two structures, hexagonal units
clustered on a north-south axis. An oval oil fence surrounds a patch of
the sea, with Shell One and Shell Two at the center.
Telop - - “The Big Shell”: Offshore Cleanup Facility
The structure lies on the ocean’s surface like a giant tortoise shell, or
to the more fanciful viewer, a hex-shaped area straight out of a sim game.
Raiden surfaces in a flurry of bubbles after the choppers pass overhead;
the elaborate scuba wear obscures his appearance entirely, save for a
trace of blonde hair. He would appear to be Snake to veteran players. In
Raiden’s mouth is a cylindrical oxygen module, and the plant and two
choppers reflect off a curious, scroll-like pair of goggles (which
completely cover his eyes). After ascertaining the direction of the
choppers’ flight, Raiden once again dives out of view.
Colonel:
Approximately six hours ago, the Big Shell was seized by an armed
group.
Raiden:
Do we have an ID?
Colonel:
Former members of the Navy SEAL’s special antiterrorist training
squad, “Dead Cell”. Russian private army members may also be
involved. It’s a highly-trained group, and they have the Big Shell
under complete control.
Raiden:
Who’s the leader?
Colonel:
That we’ll discuss later.
Run “terrorist briefing” lines over the demo sequence up to this point.
“The Big Shell”
Aerial shot of the plant’s alien form. The chopper moves in close to the
structure. The Color (texture) of the ocean surface is obviously different
inside the fence. The oil slick covering the fenced-in water deadens the
surface to the point that there is almost no reflectivity. A man calls out
inside the chopper.
SEAL Alpha Zero:
Come in from downwind, the pull up fast!
SEAL Alpha Zero:
Get ready to fast rope down to Shell One!
SEAL Alpha Zero:
Five minutes to ETA.
Team leader:
(OFF) Alpha, your top priority is to rescue and safeguard the
President!
Team leader:
(OFF) team Bravo, watch out for Stillman’s back, and get those
C4’s disarmed...
The chopper’s rotor whips the ocean’s surface (and the oil slick inside
the fence) into a frenzied wake. On the other side of the structure, the
other helicopter circles in a bid to distract the enemy.
Underwater, close to the Big Shell.
Raiden swims below the surface, infrared goggles activated. The
point-of-view shot is tinted red. In actuality, the infrared goggles POV
sequences are in black and white (white for high-temperature areas, black
for lower temperatures). Raiden cautiously approaches the oil fence. The
closer he gets to the fence, the lesser the amount of light penetrating
the ocean surface above. The fence is emblazoned with military warning
signs such as “No entry”, “Danger - - High Voltage” and “No Entry Except
for Authorized Personnel”. A “Decontamination Facility” sign is in view.
Raiden checks the fence; there are numerous dead fish along the fence.
A hole has been cut in the fence, large enough for a single person. There
are signs that the hole was made for infiltration purposes. Raiden slips
through the opening, taking care not to come into contact with the fence.
Raiden:
What are their demands?
Colonel:
Thirty Billion dollars.
Raiden:
Thirty Billion dollars? What makes them think they can get that
much?
Colonel:
There was a government-sponsored tour going on at the Big Shell
that day.
Raiden:
Hostages, huh?
Colonel:
A VIP form one of the major conservation groups and one from our
own government - - the Most Important Person in a sense.
Raiden:
The most important person?
Colonel:
James Johnson.
Raiden:
The President!
Colonel:
Unless the demands are met, the terrorists intend to blow the Big
Shell out of the water.
Raiden:
And the crude will ignite, turning Manhattan Harbor into an
Inferno.
Colonel:
That’s not the worst-case scenario. If the chlorides being used
to decontaminate the seawater go up with the oil, toxins
containing catastrophic levels of dioxins will be released.
Colonel:
In other words, the bay’s ecosystem will be wiped out, and the
sea will turn into a toxic soup for centuries - - becoming the
worst environmental disaster in history.
Run “Terrorist Demands” lines over the demo sequence up to this point.
Underwater, near bottom of Strut A.
A number of dead fish also dot the inside of the fence. Raiden looks up
at the surface; the thick film of crude blocks out the sun entirely. To
the front are numerous lights affixed to the strut. Raiden turns off the
infrared vision. Tiny white precipitates drift down like Marine Snow from
the surface; brilliant in the beams of the spotlights. The shimmering
bands of light and particles are reminiscent of the Alaska sequences in
the previous game. Raiden moves over the ocean floor and locates the
plant’s barnacle-encrusted maintenance outlet. He climbs up the ladder
into the hatch.
Colonel:
You have two mission objectives. One: Infiltrate the offshore
decontamination facility “ Big Shell” and safeguard the President
and other hostages; and two: Disarm the terrorists by any means
necessary.
Colonel:
You should know that SEAL Team 10 is also conducting a rescue
operation.
Raiden:
Is this a joint effort?
Colonel:
No, FOXHOUND remains a covert body. Don’t alert them to your
presence – that’s an order.
Run “Raiden Mission Briefing” lines over the demo sequences up to this
point.
Inside the facility pool, bottom of Strut A
Raiden breaks the surface of the infiltration pool. A POV sweep of the
water’s surface reveals a glimpse of a figure in a diving suit, a possible
enemy. Raiden moves up the ladder with utmost caution; in the demo, the
climb is accomplished quickly and all at once. (In the game, the climb
would be accomplished interactively every time the player falls into the
pool). The C4’s attached to the side of the mini-submarine (placed there
by Fatman) move across the camera lens. Having cleared the ladder, Raiden
inclines his head and raises the Colonel on Codec in a manner similar to
the previous installment.
To the Opening Infiltration 2 Codec Demo 1 (mandatory Colonel SEND)
P001_02_R01 Opening Infiltration 2 Codec Demo 1 (mandatory Colonel SEND)
Codec screen
Raiden reaches the poolside and activates the Codec. The Codec screen
appears: In bot the right and left-hand windows are middle polygon cranial
models. Blinking and mouthing (mouthing tool) in sync with the lines.
Raiden’s head is wrapped in goggle gear reminiscent of the alien
“Grays”. In order to deceive those players who have completed the tanker
chapter into beleiveing that this chapter features the same hero - -
Snake - - the voice effects are modulated accordingly. The hero’s
appearance differs from Snake’s, but the deception will be continued
until he takes off the goggles.
Raiden:
This is Snake. I am now inside Strut A of Shell One.
Colonel:
How are things?
Raiden:
We’re in luck, looks like there are no sentries posted here.
Colonel:
What the visibility?
Raiden:
The lights on the plant’s struts are functioning. I wont have to
use the IR goggles.
Colonel:
Any problems?
Raiden:
There was a brand-new hole cute through the oil fence. There’s
someone else besides me that wanted to get in badly.
Colonel:
That’s not possible.
Raiden:
What about SEAL Team 10?
Colonel:
They landed on the roof of the Big Shell as planned. And by the
way, Snake, we’re changing your code name for all following
communications.
Raiden:
What’s wrong with ‘Snake’?
Colonel:
Just a precaution. You are now designated ‘Raiden’.
*If the user had cleared the Tanker Chapter.
Redundant training will be eliminated for users who have experienced the
Tanker Chapter. Since forcing a repeat of topics covered in the Tanker
Chapter would be unnecessarily dull, the idea is to make the users think
that the entire Tanker Chapter was a VR exercise. At this point, the hero
is still Snake.
Colonel:
All right, Raiden, you’ve already covered infiltration in VR
training.
Raiden:
I’ve completed 300 missions in VR.
Raiden:
I feel like some kind of legendary mercenary...
Continue using the code name from this point.
Colonel:
Okay, we’ll skip that part.
*If the user has not yet cleared the Tanker Chapter.
Colonel:
This will be your first sneaking mission.
Colonel:
The arms will naturally have to be procured on-site.
For below, use lines identical to the previous installment.
Colonel:
Make sure nobody sees you.
Colonel:
If you need to, contact me by Codec. The frequency is 141.85.
Colonel:
When you want to use the Codec, push the select button.
Colonel:
When we need to reach you - - (revise to the line from the
previous title) contact you, press the select button.
Colonel:
When you hear that noise, press the select button
Colonel:
The Codec’s receiver directly stimulates the small bones of your
ear. No one but you will be able to hear it.
Raiden:
All right. I’ll contact you if anything changes.
Colonel:
Fist, make you way to the upper section of the Big Shell.
Raiden:
How do I get up to the next level?
The game clip of the elevator appears on the Codec screen. Forward to
image of Raiden looking up at the elevator and a point of view shot of the
elevator. More images, both of the elevator’s location and indication of
its function.
Colonel:
There’s an elevator at the far end of that area. Use that.
Raiden:
Sounds good.
End image.
Colonel:
Your new Sneaking suit uses electrofiber technology, a byproduct
of fiber-optics research.
To the Opening Infiltration 3, Polygon Demo 2
P001_03_P02 Opening Infiltration 3, Polygon Demo 2 (NM Skull Suit)
Display Raiden on PS2, rotating camera to produce a revolving full-body
model.
Colonel:
The texture isn’t far removed from rubber, but the material
protects against a wide range of toxic substances. The suit
itself has a wide range of built-in sensors.
Colonel:
It is referred to as ‘Smart Skin’ in military R+D. Data about
damage to different regions of the body, including blood loss,
is exchanged between the suit and the intravenous nanomachines to
create a feedback system.
Raiden:
There’s a lot of pressure on my torso.
Colonel:
Relax. The suit applies varying pressure to major internal organs
to maximize performance and safeguard their functions.
Colonel:
They call this the ‘Skull Suit’ in FOXHOUND.
Raiden:
Skull suit - - seems appropriate somehow.
To Opening Infiltration 4, Codec Demo 2
P001_04_R02 Opening Infiltration 4, Codec Demo 2 (mandatory Colonel SEND)
Codec screen
An image of a door appears inside the Codec screen. Movie representation.
Colonel:
The hatch with a circular handle will open into the elevator area.
Locate the hatch.
An image of the door with a circular handle.
Raiden:
Copy that. Moving onto main mission.
To game.
P002_01_S01 Strut A junction Hatch 1, Scenario Demo 1
Entrance level pool, Strut A
Raiden finds the watertight hatch into the elevator area and opens it. On
the other side is an L-shaped corridor leading into the elevator hall.
Raiden takes a closer look. (Teach the players how to use “Look” function
and the right analog stuck in the Pad Demo) the section of the corridor
within the field of vision is no more than 30ft in length, and the rest
turns off to the right. Raiden takes a step, then, sensing someone nearby,
freezes. At the far end of the corridor (in front of the sliding door to
the elevator gall), a sentry soldier flashes a “?” to indicate his state
of mind. The man is a Gurlukovich militiaman, outfitted with an Abakan
AN-94 assault rifle, a Makarov pistol, tiger stripe camos and a skull cap
(no backpack). He takes his radio off his hip and tries to reach the
others, but the crackling static (sound effect) forces him to give up.
Raiden conceals himself behind the hatch door and brushes the back of his
neck to activate his own Codec’s SEND.
To Strut A Junction Hatch 2, Codec Demo 1 ( Colonel mandatory SEND)
P002_02_R01 Strut A Junction Hatch 2, Codec Demo 1 (Colonel mandatory SEND)
Codec screen
Raiden:
Colonel, I’ve sighted an enemy sentry.
Inside the Codec screen, binocular framed images (movie) appears. Zoom
into enemy equipment.
Raiden:
An AN-94 and a Makalov…
The rifle muzzle is quipped with a curious, gourd-like attachment - -
the camera closes in on the muzzle compensator, one of the Abakan assault
rifle’s most recognizable characteristics. The binoculars pan down to
frame the grenades clipped to the belt.
Raiden:
Those grenades… all his equipment is Russian made.
Colonel:
Must be a Gurlukovich man.
Raiden:
Gurlukovich?
Colonel:
A Russian private Army that was in line to work with the Shadow
Moses takeover group, four years ago.
Raiden:
What’s their stake in this one?
Colonel:
The must have made a deal - - an arrangement with the terrorists.
Colonel:
They’ve become a band of mercenaries, an army without a country.
Colonel:
A sentry would normally call in reinforcements at the sight of
you, but he can’t do that in that area you’re in now.
Colonel:
The supplementary radio antenna in the walls are completely
corroded. Radio communication is effectively impossible inside
that area.
Raiden:
What about our communication system.
Colonel:
No effect on nanomachine supported networks, only on ordinary
radio transmissions. But even if they’re cut off from each other,
the enemy is armed. Exercise extreme caution, Raiden.
To game
P003_01_P01 Snake’s elevator ride 1, Polygon Demo 1 (MC)
Elevator hall
Raiden enters the elevator hall. Unlike the entrance level pool, the area
is lit. Straight ahead, the elevator had just started its ascent. The
Russian sentry from a few minutes ago is ejected from the rising cage
(courtesy of Snake’s roundhouse kick). The sentry crumples to the floor,
out cold. His cap is marked with a star. Raiden takes stock of the
situation: 2 more men lying in conscious in the elevator hall, both
wearing similarly-marked headgear. Raiden stares after the ascending
elevator, and catches a glimpse of a figure in an out modeled sneaking
suit (Snake is not yet dressed in a flight suit). The strangers back is
turned to the camera and Raiden ‘s gaze. Snake has made his own
infiltration form this point a few minutes ago. Unfortunately, several
sea lice have made their way into his equipment during that time (the
lice manage to make an appearance when Raiden first comes face to face
with Snake, contributing to the former’s distrust). This scene should be
reminiscent of the loading dock sequence from the beginning of the
previous title. The elevator has risen from our view, Raiden sinks to
one knee to commence Codec call.
To Snake elevator ascent 2 Codec demo 1 (mandatory Colonel SEND)
P003_02_R02 Snake elevator ascent 2 Codec demo 1 (mandatory Colonel SEND)
Codec screen
Raiden:
Colonel, there’s definitely another intruder in there beside me.
Colonel:
That’s not a possibility.
Raiden:
Not a team - - looks like a solo job.
Colonel:
One man...? (Sinks with thought)
Raiden:
We may not know who he is, but he managed to take care of every
sentry in the area; they’re all out cold. Whoever he is, he’s got
some skills. (A strong hint at Snake)
Colonel:
We need you to get an ID… But for now, you can take advantage of
the situation and get to work.
Colonel:
There’s a terminal in front of the elevator, a node.
Raiden:
Did you say “nerd”?
Colonel:
Not ‘nerd’ - - “node”.
Raiden:
Oh.
Colonel:
Use the node to gain access to the Big Shell’s facilities network.
Raiden:
Then what?
Colonel:
Pull up that map of the structure; that’ll let you activate the
Soliton Radar.
Raiden:
The Soliton Radar.
For users who completed the Tanker Chapter
Colonel:
True, that radar came in useful during the VR training.
For users who did not complete the Tanker Chapter
Colonel:
A radar system - - uses biological magnetic fields as input.
Colonel:
These estimated enemy positions are projected onto a map according
to reference points collected via GPS signals and field personnel.
Colonel:
We need to get to the map through the Big Shell’s node to put this
data processing to practical use.
Colonel:
The node unit is about three feet high - - should be colored blue.
Each area has at least one, usually built right into the wall.
The game screen image appears on the Codec screen; the user can see where
the node is positioned.
Raiden:
How do I gain access?
Colonel:
Just push the Action button in front of the node.
The Codec screen now shows a visual representation of the node usage.
Colonel:
The nanomachines in your body will take care of the security
clearance, and allow you to access the node.
Colonel:
Complete the procedure before those sentries gain consciousness.
Colonel:
If they spot you, you won’t be able to gain access for a while.
Colonel:
Stay on guard
Raiden:
Got it.
To the game
P004_01_P01 First access to the node 1 Polygon Demo 1 (MC)
Near the node
Raiden spots the node and holds his palm out. The nanomachines inside his
body begin to respond, and ribbons of plasma spew out (use the effect
from the tanker landing). Raiden’s hair stands on end as the access
message appears on the node terminal screen.
To First access to the node 2 Codec Demo 1 (mandatory Colonel CALL)
P004_02_P01 access to the node 2 Codec Demo 1 (mandatory Colonel CALL)
Codec screen
Raiden successfully gains network access. The Colonel raises him on the
Codec.
Colonel:
Good work, Raiden.
Raiden:
The radar should be functioned now?
For users who completed the Tanker Chapter.
Colonel:
Remember your VR training sessions.
Colonel:
The tool is exactly the same one - - it maps the terrain as well
as the position of the enemy personnel.
For users who didn’t complete the Tanker Chapter.
Colonel:
Let me explain about your Soliton Radar system.
The view changes to the game screen, with the radar screen displayed - -
it could also be the radar primer vocals from the previous game displayed
within the Codec screen. The screen shows the game view.
Colonel:
The bright dot in the middle is you, Snake. The red dots are your
enemies and the blue cone shape represents their FOV.
At this time no blue cones are in sight since the enemies are unconscious.
Colonel:
Snake, your radar isn’t affected by the weather, but if you’re
discovered by an enemy you won’t be able to use it.
Colonel:
It gets jammed rather easily I’m afraid.
Colonel:
It’s all made from currently existing technology. You won’t be
able to use it in an area with strong harmonic resonance. So be
careful.
Colonel:
The Big Shell’s layout map should now be available after touching
the start button.
Raiden:
How do I save mission data?
Colonel:
I’ve set aside a proprietary frequency fro saves. And an analyst
to work on the data too.
Rose interrupts:
Rose:
Jack - - is everything all right?
Rose replaces(almost a morph effect) the Colonel in the window. (lot of
static)
She wears a beige suit with a blouse, revealingly unbuttoned. A pair of
earings and traces of makeup complete the somewhat unreal effect.
Raiden:
What are you doing here!?
Rose:
Jack, can you hear me?
Raiden:
Rose! You’re not supposed to be involved!
Raiden:
What’s going on!?
Rose:
Jack, I’m a part of the mission.
Raiden:
Colonel, what the hell is going on?
Colonel:
Raiden meet the mission analyst. She’ll be overseeing the data
saving and support.
Raiden:
Why her?
Colonel:
The FOXHOUND analyst that wa supposed to take part in this
mission was in an accident. Rosemary was brought in as a
replacement.
Raiden:
An accident...?
Colonel:
And according to the files, she knows you better than anybody
else.
Raiden:
Rose may be in the service, but an intelligence analyst is no
field officer.
Colonel:
Not to worry. She has our technical staff at her disposal.
Raiden:
She’s never been a part of a field mission. This is insane.
Colonel:
I have my own reason for selecting her for this mission, soldier.
Raiden:
Colonel, I fail to see - -
Colonel:
I know your VR training performance in an out. But sometimes
that’s not enough. You’re familiar with the Shadow Moses Incident>
Raiden:
You know I covered it in VR.
Colonel:
If there’s a crucial tactical detail that case taught us, it was
the power of the operatives will to survive.
Raiden:
I was trained to fight. My personal feelings have no place in a
mission.
Colonel:
We’ve learned that it doesn’t work that way. And in the field,
you need all the help you can get.
Rose:
Jack? You’re stuck with me whether you like it ornot.
Raiden:
Rose…
Rose:
Your need someone to watch your back. But-
Rose:
(with sudden steeliness) I have conditions that need to be met,
Colonel.
Colonel:
What is it?
Rose:
I’ll perform my duties and save that mission data.
Rose:
But I’m aware that technically, I’m not part of the mission
control team.
Rose:
After all, I’m just a normal girl who’s worried about Jack.
Rose:
But that means Colonel, that I am not required to follow your
orders outside of my immediate duties.
Rose:
Jack is not simply a field personnel for me to track.
Rose:
His safety comes first to me, not ht emission.
Rose:
And because of that, I will be monitoring, and keeping a record of
every communication you have with him, Colonel.
Colonel:
...Given the circumstances, you’re free to do what you see fit.
Rose:
(to Raiden) Hey, I prefer this to being kept in the dark, waiting.
Colonel:
I’d like to make a request, if I may.
Rose:
Of course.
Colonel:
His handle is Raiden. For the duration of the mission, could you
call him that?
Rose:
Yes sir.
Rose:
All right - - Raiden. (slightly awkwardly)
Rose:
Let me know when you’re ready to turn in a save.
Rose:
(Cool, businesslike) The proprietary save frequency is 140.96.
The Codec automatically switches to 140.96.
Rose:
(Softly) I just switched frequencies.
Rose:
Jack? (slightly lowered voice / thinks she’s out of the Colonel’s
earshot)
Raiden:
What?
Rose:
(intimately) Do you know what day it is tomorrow?
Raiden:
April 30th - - is there something special about it?
(the day he and Rose met)
Rose:
Isn’t there?
Raiden:
I can’t remember. I’m sorry.
Rose:
Oh well, I’ll keep trying ‘till I hear the answer.
Rose:
I’m going to let you go now, Jack. Take care.
To the game
P005_01_P01 Raiden elevator ascent 1 Polygon Demo 1 (MC)
The elevator, bottom of Strut A
Raiden enters the elevator, and the see-through cage comes to life. A
sequence of cuts that mirror those from the precious title: a metal forest
of girders and supports falls out of view at high speed. Roll main staff
credits, again in a manner similar to the previous title. The briefing
exchange with the Colonel echoes over the scene.
Raiden is shedding his diving gear; the goggles obscuring his face come
off. A longish mane of hair tumbles our and hides his face again. The
elevator clears the water and a stunning Playstation 2-driven panorama
comes into focus. The Manhattan island can be seen to the distance, over
an expanse of shimmering water. The clear, sunlight day cannot offer a
more radical contrast to the Tanker Chapter. Raiden tosses his head in an
almost feminine gesture to swing his hair out of the way. Slo-mo and
using the hair physics model to the best advantage. Behind him, seagulls
wheel with unforced elegance. His fine-boned, somewhat androgynous
features visible to the camera at last. Raiden raises his face, echoing
Snake in the title scenes of MGS1. The elevator comes to a halt at the
top opf the offshore plant. Display the title “MGS2”. High impact sound

From “Encounter with Vamp 1”
to “Vamp encounter 10”
P010_01_P01 encounter with the Vamp 1 Polygon Demo 1 (MC)
Straight Corridor, BC connecting bridge
Raiden hurries towards Strut B after hearing the intercepted SEALs
communication. He reaches the straight corridor that leads to the connecting
bridge between Struts B and C. To the right is the door into the electrical
control room, and the body of a Navy SEAL (Body 2) lies in front of it. The
man has been slashed apart, and the walls and the floor are literally
splattered with blood. A trail of blood indicates the body has been dragged
some ways. The scene is reminiscent of the ‘carnage corridor’ scene in the
previous title. A smell like iron is in the air.
Raiden moves down the corridor with care (if he has a gun/M9 in possession,
have him hold it).
Inside the electrical control room, Strut B
Change scene (inside the electrical control room)
Inside the electrical control room, a SEAL fires blindly (Body 3) about him,
wild with terror. Every light fixture in the room has already been destroyed,
and only daylight filtering in through a narrow slit of skylight gives a
degree of visibility to the surroundings. A flash of the M4 fire illuminates
the room.
The SEALs (body 4) keep up a running commentary as they vainly struggle
against an invisibly enemy.
Seal Alpha Zero:
Damn!
Seal Alpha One:
Fire!
Seal Alpha Two!
I can’t hit him!
Seal Alpha Three:
What kind of a freak is this…
Seal Alpha Zero:
Aaaargh!! (dying scream)
A response from the SEAL mission control crackles our of one of the SEAL’s
radios:
Squad Leader:
Alpha Zero, come in Alpha Zero!
Corridor in front of the electrical control room, Strut B.
Change scene (inside the electrical control room)
The gunfire can be heard in the corridor. Raiden approaches the door with
caution.
Inside the electrical control room
The shadowy figure of Vamp flits through the air mockingly, easily evading
the SEL team’s fire. Vamp kicks and propels himself off of transformers,
walls and ceiling with great speed and superhuman gravity-defying agility.
The flapping black (dark olive drab) coat gives the figure a bat-like
appearance. The SEAL’s bullets miss their target with stark consistency.
Their enemy lands on the ground, and with the grace of a ballet dancer, does
a deadly pirouette that cuts the SEAL’s arms into ribbons.
SEAL Alpha 0:
(Scream. Long-short pattern)
SEAL Alpha 1:
(Scream. Long-short pattern)
SEAL Alpha 2:

SEAL Alpha 3:

Vamp aims with lethal accuracy for the men’s jugulars. Blood spurts up to the
ceiling, and the M4’s clatter to the floor. Vamp finishes up by slitting
their throats. Sprays of blood cloud the shaft of sunlight, and the soldiers
screams reverberate through the room. Vamp nimbly avoids the showers of blood
while the Alpha team’s lifeless bodies thud to the floor.
Squad Leader:
All Alpha, come in!
Squad Leader:
What’s going on? Alpha, respond!
There is nobody left to respond to his call.

Change scene (corridor in front of the electrical control room, Strut B)
Raiden takes a deep breath in front of the door, then dashes inside.
Inside the electrical control room, Strut B
Change scene (Inside the electrical control room, Strut B)
The small room is filled with smoke from all the gunfire, severely limiting
visibility. A shaft of sun from the skylight gives the place an oddly solemn,
church-like air. On the floor is a scattering of cartridges from the SEAL’s
M4’s, and the walls and transformers are marked with bullet holes. The damage
from the gunfire has shorted out the machines and the whole scene suggests a
vain struggle against some gigantic creature. Fresh blood coats the walls and
the floor, and bodies that had been Navy SEAL commandos until moments ago lie
under foot. The extensive wounds, apparent even on their limbs, and the
general state of the room point to a cause of death more gory than a common
gun shot. The room has seemingly bee transformed into a butcher shop.
At the far end of the room is an open locker (behind this door is the C4).
Two transformer units in the middle of the floor dominate the chamber. There
are stairs leading down to the lower level on either side.
Suddenly, a slurping sound breaks the silence.
Vamp:
(sucking blood)
Raiden proceeds deeper into the room, cautiously. He can now see that the
Northeast staircase ends only one step down. Vamp stands there with his teeth
in a SEAL’s neck, drinking his blood. The man is already limp, held against
the wall by his killer; because of Vamp’s extreme height, the hapless SEAL’s
feet jerk and twitch in midair. Vamp hears Raiden approaching and releases
his hand. His victim crumples to the floor like a broken marionette. Vamp
slowly licks the blood off his lips with an inhumanly long tongue, then bares
his fangs (overdeveloped canines) in a snarl.
Vamp:
(hisses aggressively)
His breath is white, though the room is not particularly cold. The idea is
that since Vamp came back from the dead at one point, he has abnormally low
body temperature. He wears black shades to cover his eyes, and the holster he
wears over his coat gives him a bat-like silhouette. Raiden aims his gun (if
he does not yet have one, he takes a fighting stance). The nightmarish
specter before him has Raiden unsettled and unsure; the surrealism of the
situation has momentarily deprived him of decisiveness. Raiden’s features are
reflected on his foe’s shades.
Raiden:
!!
The man smiles. He snakes out his long tongue again, this time to lick at the
blood coating his moustache.
Raiden:
What are you? (Shades of Snake’s first encounter with the ninja in the
previous title)
Vamp carefully unsheathes a large knife and cuts into his bare chest, already
with similar marks. Blood runs out of the newly-made wound, staining the
dense patch of chest hair.
Raiden:
!?
Raiden looks on with bewilderment as the man makes four more cuts in his
chest. There are other, older marks, all over his arms and stomach. The scars
are almost tattoo-like.
Vamp:
Five today...
He exhales mistily every time he opens his mouth.
Vamp:
Or rather, six?
He completes the though by taking an acrobatic leap (mid-air turn). With a
dancer’s precision, he manages to get behind Raiden’s back, the FOXHOUND
stands dazed, still shocked by the strange turn of events.
Man (Pliskin):
Get down!!
A man’s voice rings out from the direction of the door (north). Raiden hits
the floor immediately, and several gunshots ring out. Visibility is
momentarily down due to the smoke. Raiden raises his face and scans the room,
but Vamp is nowhere to by seen. A man with an M4 cautiously enters the room.
He wears a SEAL uniform, the sleeves rolled up to the shoulders, and his
features are covered with a ski mask, save for the piercing eyes. On his head
is a large pair of radio headphones (the kind squad leaders carry).
Man (Pliskin):
Where is he!
He demands an answer from Raiden, the latter still on the floor. As the
masked man moves slowly forward, M4 aimed, his boots make unpleasant sucking
noises on the blood-covered floor. Cut to the figure of Vamp clinging to the
ceiling. He noiselessly drops down, knife flashing like a living thing over
the SEAL’s arm. Blood spurts out from multiple wounds on the man’s limb, and
the gun (M4) clatters to the floor as it falls to his knees.
Man (Pliskin):
Agh!
He crawls across the floor, nursing the arm, but the Vamp lifts him up by the
neck with one hand. The monster shoves its prey against the wall, easily, and
studies him wit detached curiosity. Raiden aims his weapon, but cannot get a
clear shot with the SEAL in the way. If Raiden does not own a weapon, he will
pick up the other man’s M4.
Man (Pliskin):
Urgh...!
Vamp:
Hmmm? Strange smell...
White exhalation swirls across the captive’s face. Vamp jerks away from the
man, and the prey falls to the floor. Vamp peers down at the SEAL over his
sunglasses. Through the mask’s eyeholes, he can see a pair of piercing eyes.
Vamp:
You smell like -- !
Vamp knows Solidus’ scent, and knows equally that this cannot be Solidus.
Hence…
Vamp:
Are you -- it has to be!
He realizes that this is none other than Solid Snake, the Dead Cell’s sworn
enemy.
The recent captive rolls across the floor, clutching his bruised throat. He
manages a cry.
Man (Pliskin):
Shoot him! What are you waiting for!
Raiden:
!
Roused, Raiden pulls the trigger. Vamp launches into a pirouette again. For
some reason, Raiden cannot draw blood from him, even after firing an entire
clip at him. Raiden casts aside the spent magazine.
A message from Fortune crackles into Vamp’s radio (inside his ear), and he
comes to a halt. A woman’s voice can faintly be heard from the ‘phone’.
Fortune:
Vamp --
Vamp:
Yeah, Queen?
Fortune:
Are you all done cleaning up?
Vamp:
Yeah, but wait till I tell you what I found... (discovering Snake)
Fortune:
Something interesting?
Vamp:
I’ll tell you in person. Where are you?
Fortune:
In the central unit, with the President.
Vamp:
Be right there.
As Raiden finishes reloading his weapon amidst the gunsmoke, he hears Vamp
cry out strangely.
Vamp:
(weird cry)
Vamp has disappeared.
F.O. / F.I.
Raiden regains his composure and turns the gun on the wounded man.
Man (Pliskin):
Hold on, I’m not an enemy. Calm down.
Raiden’s aim remains unwavering.
Man (Pliskin):
My name is S...
He (Pliskin) is about to state his name, then checks himself and searches
around for a false one.
Man (Pliskin):
Pliskin. Iroquois Pliskin. Lieutenant Junior Grade.
Raiden does not answer. The man pulls off his balaclava with one hand to
reveal a head of blonde hair and the face of a man in his 50’s. His face is
stubbled; there is no bandana is sight. His appearance approximates that of
Liquid Snake in the last title. Raiden continues to stare him down.
Raiden:
Are you a Navy SEAL?
Pliskin does not answer.
Pliskin:
...
Raiden:
How did you get in?
Pliskin:
Fast rope descent, from a Navy chopper.
He looks Raiden over carefully, his reply indifferent and distracted. The sea
lice previously seen at the entrance level pool chooses this moment to crawl
out of Pliskin’s gear. Raiden stares at he bugs, his suspicions mounting.
Raiden:
Have I seen you before?
Because of his resemblance to Snake/Solidus, Raiden finds Pliskin vaguely
familiar.
Pliskin:
That suit -- are you FOXHOUND?
Raiden:
... That’s right.
Raiden concedes reluctantly.
Pliskin:
FOXHOUND was disbanded. (decisively)
Raiden:

Pliskin points to the dead colonel's right wrist. A broken handcuff, the

The name was originally intended to effect its anti-terrorist
functions. The unit would launch unannounced assaults on government
complexes, for the ultimate terrorism simulation. They were needed to
show VR troopers like you how to deal with the real thing.
Pliskin:
But around the time their original leader (Fortune's husband) died in
prison, the unit began to unravel.
Pliskin:
They were always close to the edge, but they became more and more
extreme; began to go after U.S. allies, even civilians. We estimate no
fewer than one hundred people died as a result of ‘accidents’ the Dead
Cell arranged on their own. They were out of control – and it all came
to a head six months ago.
Raiden:

Pliskin shows no inclination to respond to the call.
SEAL Bravo Zero:
Alpha! Anyone! Come in, all Alpha! This is Bravo Zero!
Raiden:
Aren’t you going to answer him!?
Pliskin slowly reaches for the radio, as though buying himself some time.
SEAL Bravo Zero:
(Scream)!!!
Sound of static after an agonizing scream.
Pliskin:
The B-C connecting bridge.
Raiden:
We need to get there. Can you handle it?
Pliskin:
I need a few more minutes.
Pliskin is pretending to be worse off than he is. He intends to go separate
ways from Raiden, then keep him under surveillance to ascertain if he can be
trusted. Explanations to come later (standard radio).
Pliskin:
Remember my frequency –- its 141.80.
Pliskin twists around to indicate the large radio on his left shoulder.
Pliskin:
I’ve been briefed on this plant’s layout. If you need information on
the place or about Dead Cell, contact me.
Raiden:
141.80. Got it.
Pliskin:
You’re using nano communication, right?
Raiden:
Yeah. But I can patch into your frequency.

Raiden pauses, and answers after a few moments

Raiden.
Pliskin:
Raiden? Strange codename.
Raiden:

Raiden, having left Pliskin, heads for the BC connecting bridge and the SEAL
team. He is about to open the door to the bridge when a CALL comes in from
Rose.
Rose:
Jack, it’s me...
Raiden:
Everything okay, Rose?
Rose:
Don’t you need me to save the mission data?
Raiden:
Oh yeah -- thanks for reminding me.
User selection: The menu choices are “Save” and “Don’t Save”
Rose:
Jack, do you remember what day tomorrow is?
Raiden:
(mutters) That again...
Raiden:
I’m sorry, but I still don’t have a clue.
Rose:
(Disappointed) that’s okay.
Raiden:
What is it, Rose? Talk to me.
Rose:
I’d rather you figure it out. It’s important.
Raiden:
How important?
Rose:
Important enough. And we’ll talk about it, tomorrow.
Raiden:
Why not now?
Rose:
Tomorrow seems more –- appropriate. I need all the help that I can
get so that I won’t chicken out anyway. (The fact that she is a spy,
as well as her pregnancy)
Raiden:
Is that the reason you decided to be a part of this mission?
Rose:
(Practically a bullseye)...
Raiden:
OK... I’m going to finish this thing by tomorrow, no matter what.
Rose:
You know I’ll do everything I can to help you.
Raiden:
(Forcing a change in tone) Rose, there’s something I need you to do
as an analyst.
Rose:
What is it?
Raiden:
It has to do with Solid Snake. The leader of this takeover is
claiming that he’s Snake himself.
Rose:
The legendary mercenary? Hm.
Raiden:
I need as much data on him as possible. Everything they have on him
after the Shadow Moses incident.
Rose:
He’s dead now, isn’t he?
Raiden:
Yes. Should be a burial record somewhere too.
Raiden:
You should be able to request top-level security clearance from the
Colonel. That should get us into the most classified material.
Rose:
I’m on it.
Rose:
I’ll contact you as soon as I find out something.
To the game
P012_01_P01 Fortune encounter 1 polygon demo 1 (MC)
BC connecting bridge
Raiden arrives at the connecting bridge between struts B and C, only to find
the Bravo team engaged in a firefight with someone. The SEAL’s are firing
continuously from the BC connecting path to a hidden target on the bridge
running between the BC section and the central area. The weapons in use here
are SOCOM’s or M4’s.
Raiden pulls out his gun and moves forward on full alert. As he passes the
large column that was blocking his view, an incredible sight greets his eyes.
The unseen foe is a queenly, slender woman, carrying a linear rifle almost
equal in length to her own height. Around her shoulder is draped a leather
coat as black as her skin; the hem flutters lazily in the sea breeze. A
sidearm (M() rests on her hip, and at her feet are the president
(unconscious) and the black case. She seems to have no interest whatsoever
in engaging the soldiers.
The SEAL team fires on the woman, but the bullets fail to find their target.
The woman carries with her a visible aura, like a pale fire (electromagnetic
pulse). The bullets curve away from Fortune as they close in. Raiden watches
the whole scene unfold from the shadows.
Raiden:
What the hell is that?
A flock of gulls cluster around the woman, reinforcing the illusion of peace
and normalcy.
Fortune:
Come, put me out of my misery!
SEAL Bravo Zero:
This is impossible! Nothing will hit her!
SEAL Bravo One:
Is she the one they call Fortune
Vamp bounds out of the central core, picks up the President like a rag doll
and slings him over his shoulder. Hooking the Black Case up in one hand, he
turns to Fortune.
Vamp:
Queen.
Fortune nods in affirmation, and Vamp runs off weightlessly into the central
core area.
SEAL Bravo One:
Don’t let them take the President!
Two backup members of the Alpha team (SEAL’s) come running out of Strut C.
They look at Raiden for a moment, then continue onto the BC connecting
bridge. Two of the Bravo men clatter onto the central area, toward the woman.
SEAL Bravo Zero:
Ready grenades!
He fires a grenade from the launcher built into his M4. It flies straight
for the target, but comes to a halt in midair right in front of the woman,
then drops to the ground. It fails to detonate.
SEAL Bravo Three:
A dud!?
The SEAL’s in the rear move in closer. The woman wearily raises her face, as
though surrendering to an inevitable inconvenience.
Fortune:
Today is another bad day...
She swings the long linear rifle up to her hip, scattering the seabirds
about her into the air. The ocean breeze lefts her long, tightly curled
hair, and the SEAL’s terror-stricken visages glance off the twin mirrors of
her sunglasses.
Fortune:
Is there anyone here that can give me happiness?
SEAL Bravo Zero:
(a scream of despair at the coming death)
The woman pulls the trigger. The Bravo team disintegrates with every whine
of the linear rifle.
SEAL Bravo Zero:
(scream)!
SEAL Bravo One:
(scream)!
SEAL Bravo Two:
(scream)!
SEAL Bravo Three:
(scream)!
The linear rifle fires with a shattering sonic boom. There are no cartridges
to be ejected since the gun is caseless. Fortune continues to pull the
trigger until the roof of the Shell resembles a crash scene. The stair area
where the Bravo team made its final stand has been honeycombed by the fire
(the rounds cut through the metal with ease, and the bridge is tilted from
the stress. A few coils of the BC bridge support wires sway in mid-air,
sheared off in the middle. The men who were bringing up the rear slide
uncontrollably down the destroyed bridge to their death.
SEAL Bravo Zero:
(Desperate scream)!
SEAL Bravo One:
(Desperate scream)!
SEAL Bravo Two:
(Desperate scream)!
SEAL Bravo Three:
(Desperate scream)!
The bridge breaks off a few inches from where the woman stands, cutting
Raiden off from the central core. Not a single body remains on the roof. The
seabirds continue to fly about over Fortune.
Fortune:
I’m so sorry, my beauties (note: since the gulls are doomed)... I’ll
see you again someday.
Fortune turns and walks away (end of battle). Death comes for the birds at
the same moment, and their bodies begin a long drop toward the water.
Fortune continues her progress down what remains of the walkway into the
central core. A slow, dreamlike sway of her slender hips as she hums
sorrowfully (the ending theme). Raiden reports what he has just seen to
the Colonel.

Colonel, SEAL Team 10’s Bravo team was wiped out.
Colonel:
(without too much concern) I see.
Raiden:
What happened to the cargo choppers?
Colonel:
Both of them are at the bottom of the harbor. Looks like your new
hosts have a Harrier-2.
Raiden:
A harrier? What is this?
Colonel:
Calm down. It just means they anticipated the attack.
Raiden:
What?
Colonel:
Besides, since the SEALs drew their fire, your infiltration went off
without a hitch. On top of that, we know their defensive
capabilities.
Raiden:
Are you saying that this was all a feint?
Colonel:
Raiden, get a hold of yourself. The entire mission is in your hands
now, do you understand.
Raiden:
But...
Colonel:
There’s no time for questions. They could decide to retaliate for
that failed assault.
Raiden:
You mean the hostages?
Colonel:
They could be in danger, yes. But we need to consider the possibility
that they’ll blow the whole Shell. If that toxic spill does take
place, it’ll devastate not only the harbor, but poison the coastline
for generations.
Raiden:
...
Colonel:
Raiden, we’ve had to adjust the mission objectives. The priority is
now on removing those C4’s that the terrorists wired over the Big
Shell. The President can wait, but this can’t.
Raiden:
Colonel, you know I’m no bomb disposal expert.
Colonel:
That’s not a problem – the Bravo team brought an explosives pro in
with them. He was supposed to stand by on Strut C according to their
mission plan. You should find him there.
Raiden:
Is this according to simulation too...?
Colonel:
What are you talking about? Get to Strut C and find him!
Raiden:
Understood... But I need to ask you something before I go.
Colonel:
Make it quick.
Raiden:

Raiden:
But nothing seems real.

I’ve made up my mind to stay with you. Whether this is real or a bad

P014_01_P01 Peter encounter 1 polygon demo 1 (MC)
Kitchen, Strut C personnel quarters
Raiden enters Strut C in search of the bomb disposal expert. Strut C serves
as living quarters for the Shell Personnel, and contains the cafeteria,
kitchen, etc. There are no signs of the enemy.
As Raiden enters the kitchen, he hears something. He continues on cautiously
and discovers a man at work in front of the long counter. An array of tools
and equipment lines the countertop. A man, a well-built African-American in
his late 50s (only his upper body is visible), is so wrapped up in his work
that he does not notice Raiden’s arrival. He is wearing a leather jacket with
“NYPD Bomb Squad” emblazoned on the back (Raiden cannot yet see this). His
head is a smooth egg-shape, completely devoid of hair. To Raiden, he looks
like a bomber at work.
Raiden:
Freeze!
Raiden aims his gun (SOCOM). Peter jumps at the intrusion.
Peter:
Don’t Shoot!
Peter raises both his hands. There are a pliers(which look like a weapon) in
one hand. The lettering on his jacket is now visible to Raiden, who weighs
its implication.
Raiden:
You a cop?
Peter:
I’m not NYPD. I came in with the Bravo team.
Raiden’s nerves are not in the best shape thanks to his encounters with the
vampire and Fortune. He keeps his finger on the trigger and the gun pointed
at the man. Raiden is reminded of what happened to the Alpha team. The man
fires a barrage of questions at Raiden.
Peter:
Who are you? And what happened to SEAL Team 10?
Raiden:
They’re all dead...
Peter:
All of them!? That’s bad...
Peter rises slowly. He sinks into thought, and lowers his hand once,
distractedly. Raiden immediately goes into high alert(isosceles stance) and
points his weapon at Peter.
Raiden:
Did I tell you that you could move?
At that moment, a noise sounds from the large door on the cafeteria side.
Pliskin:
It’s all right. He’s not one of the bad guys.
Raiden swings the barrel towards the voice. Pliskin enters fro the cafeteria
side, an M4 slung over one shoulder. He looks less ill than he did before.
Pliskin:
Don’t go pointing that thing everywhere, kid.
Raiden, recognizing Pliskin, lowers his gun. Pliskin walks up to Peter. He
appears completely at ease.
Pliskin:
What’s your name?
Peter:
My name is Peter. Peter Stillman.
Pliskin digs into his memory for facts about peter.
Pliskin:
Lecturer at NAVSCOLEOD Indianhead... Also a consultant for the NYPD
Bomb Squad.
Peter’s face darkens (because Pliskin has heard of him, also for having his
past accomplishments enumerated in this way).
Peter:
A poor old man who got dragged along for this picnic.
Peter gets up and walks over. His right leg is disabled, and he limps
heavily.
Pliskin:
I thought you’d retired.
Peter:
I did. Can’t keep up with everybody, as you can see.
His right leg is a prosthesis. In his right hand is a cane.
Peter:
A famous church got wiped off the map thanks to me. With too many
lives inside. All I lost with this leg.
Raiden does not understand much of the conversation. What he can follow is that
this is the explosives expert that came in with the Bravo team.
Raiden:
So you’re the bomb disposal guy?

Raiden is put off at being treated like a rookie by Pliskin. Peter, sensing his
chagrin, speaks up.
Peter:
Heh, just ancient history now.
Raiden:
Why did they bring you out of retirement then?
Peter:
Because the terrorist group includes one of my students.
A picture (Shinkawa work) of Fatman. Transform the illustration and game data
into a movie like in the previous title (TGS movie). Rotate the images
against the backdrop of a 3D model.
Peter:

Fatman model) when he was only ten. I created him in a sense.
Pliskin:
And that’s why you’re here...

I’m pretty rusty. I was supposed to supervise the bomb disposal –
looks like it was taken care of before I had my turn.

disposal.
Raiden looks back at Pliskin, then glares at him as the implication sinks in
Raiden:

Peter studies the two of him.
Pliskin:
Are you two with SEAL Team 10 I didn’t see out at the mission
briefing.
Pliskin:
Oh, we’re with another squad.
He tries to change the topic.
Pliskin:
My name is Pliskin, Lieutenant Junior Grade. Honored to meet you,
sir.
Pliskin holds out his hand, but Peter ignores it. Instead he inquires earnestly:
Peter:
Mr. Pliskin, do you have any experience with explosives disposal.
Pliskin:
Don’t worry about me. And he looks young, but he can do it. We need
more manpower.

I’m ah –-(reluctant)

lines are spoken. Same specs as the torture. Pliskin in next to Raiden but
behind, and does not fall into his field of vision.
Peter:
There’s no need to think about this so much.
Peter:
You won’t actually be dismantling the bomb. That’s not for amateurs.
What we’ll try here instead is a temporary freezing measure.
Peter:
Here, look at this –-
Peter’s demonstration. He sweeps aside the tools on the tabletop with his
arm, and puts down a sample C4 charge.
Peter:
This is a C4 bomb...
He flips the switch and the diode attached to the C4 glows green
Peter:
It’s live. You can see it pulsing.
The flickering rhythm of the green light does resemble a pulse. Peter takes
out a coolant spray.
Peter:
Now you can spray this on the sucker and...
Peter shakes the spray can several times and sprays the contents on the C4.
The C4 is frozen, and the disposal is complete. The green indicator dies. A
close-up or long shot of the bomb.
Peter:
...There we go. Simple, huh? The spray freezes the detonator
instantly.
Raiden:
How long does the effect last?
Peter:
There’s not way the thing can detonate in this condition. Even if you
leave it alone, it’ll stay out of commission for at least 24 hours.
Pliskin:
That’s enough time.
Peter:
If we had the manpower, I’d recommend complete disposal. But this
will have to do. The spray can be used from several yards away. Check
the floor, ceiling, walls, under a table –- everywhere. Try to
imagine the locations the bomber would choose.
Pliskin:
That won’t be easy. We don’t know a thing about Fatman.
Raiden:
Is there anything that’ll help us locate the bombs?
Peter:
Here, take this with you.
Peter takes out a bomb disposal sensor A and holds it up to Raiden and
Pliskin.
Peter:
It’s what they call an Ion Mobility Spectrometer. It can recognize
ionized gas emitted by C4’s.
A close-up of bomb disposal sensor A.
Raiden:
...the what?
Pliskin:
(translates for Raiden since he seems not to have understood) In
other words, that little gizmo sniffs out C4’s scent.
Peter:
That’s right. I’ve established a link with your radar network, so any
scent detected will be represented visually. Have the sensor
activated and keep your eye on the radar.
Raiden:
(uneasily) What if he’s using some other, odorless substance?

Peter:
I know Fatman well. I know how into his own aesthetics he is.
Pliskin:
Signatures?
Peter:
Yes. On every bomb he builds, he always leaves a trace of the cologne
he uses. The sensor also picks up that particular scent spectrum.
Pliskin:
Is that something he learned for you?
Peter:
No, it was his own quirk. He wouldn’t work by any set of rules except
his own, and he followed them like a religion. And common sense
wasn’t one of his strong points.
Peter:
I though I taught him everything I knew...
Peter:
I have no children of my own, and I thought I found a son in him.
Peter:
He had the right stuff, you know.
Peter:
Even and Indian Head, he got special treatment.
Peter:
I remember some people called him one of the ‘fat cats’.
Peter:
Maybe that’s what started all this.
Peter:
I didn’t teach him the most important thing I had to tell him.
Peter:
There are some things you have to pass on. The trick is to know which
ones.

There should be packets of C4s on each of the vertices, or the struts
in this case. You need at least that to take a building of this
integrity out.
Pliskin:
Six on Shell 1, another six on Shell 2 –- a total of 12 bombs, at
least?
Peter:
Considering the Shell’s architecture and composition from an
engineering standpoint -- that’s my conclusion.
Peter:
And it’s exactly what he would have decided as well.

Peter, assuming he is going with them, starts to move out. Pliskin stops him.

You stay here.
Peter:
No, I’m going
Pliskin:
The two of us can handle it, don’t worry.
Peter:

Pliskin:
You’ll just slow us down with that leg of yours. (intentionally cruel
to protect Peter)
Peter:

Pliskin:
There’s a war going on here. I don’t have time to baby-sit anymore.
Peter looks down and Pliskin continues to stare at him coldly. A minute or two
of silence.
Raiden:
(Attempting to play the peacemaker) Why don’t you let us handle the
grunt work? You can tell us what to do over the radio, like in the
original mission plan.
Pliskin:
(Grins secretly as Raiden responds exactly as he had foreseen.
Cynical SOB.)
Peter:
All right.
Peter sits down heavily.
Peter:
I’ll give you instructions form here. I may also need to prepare a
backup plan just in case...(construction and calibration of Sensor B)
Raiden:
In case of what?
Peter pointedly ignores Raiden’s query.
Peter:
Good luck to both of you. This is a dangerous one.
Pliskin:

Peter registers Pliskin’s words wit some suspicion.
Peter:
If anything comes up, let me know. My frequency is 140.25.
Pliskin:
Good luck, kid. I’ll see you later.
He pats Raiden on the back.
Pliskin:

He utters the USMC motto then leaves the kitchen. Peter watches Pliskin as he
walks out of earshot.
Peter:
That’s man’s no SEAL. I don’t even think he’s a Navy man.

That’s not like him...
Raiden:
Anything wrong?
Peter:
Maybe. Pliskin’s reported other locations too, and none of them are
effective demolition points.
Raiden:
What do you mean?
Peter:
It means they would be the best places to choose if you wanted to
destroy this place.
Raiden:
Are you saying they don’t plan on blowing the Shell up?
Peter:
It certainly seems that way. So far, we haven’t see anything but a
waste of good explosives. Unless of course, we’re missing
something...

Peter:
All the bombs that have been found so far don’t appear to be in the
right kind of locations. And the quantity of explosives isn’t
sufficient either.
Raiden:
Even Fatman can make mistakes, right?
Peter:
No, there’s something else going on here...
Peter:
Get a move on with the disposal, Raiden. I’ve got a bad feeling about

Raiden:
(Slightly peeved) Yeah, I’d say so.
Rose:
OK, that was a stupid thing to say. Sorry
Raiden:
That’s all right(with an effort). It’s just that I’ve never been
trained in this stuff.
Rose:
You okay? Are you feeling well?
Raiden:
I almost threw up a few times.
Rose:
Oh Jack...
Raiden:
But I’m okay. It’s not like I’m in this alone.
Rose:
Oh –- yeah, that’s true.(realizing he is talking about Pliskin,
not her)
Rose:
What do you think about when you’re defusing those things?
Raiden:
I don’t think so much as remember. And I know that I need to resist
that, and keep my mind blank. I can’t let myself be overwhelmed
by the fear.
Rose tries to divert Raiden.
Rose:
So am I a part of what you try not to remember?
Raiden:

It’s true that you’re not the most patient man in the world. (laugh)

Rose:
Jack, do you remember the day we met?
Raiden:
I’m kinda busy right now, Rose.
Rose:
You’re right, sorry.
Raiden:
(Realizing her true intent) I do remember.
Raiden:
It was right after I transferred to New York. There were all these
tourists around you , in front of the Federal Hall.
Rose:
A group of middle-aged Japanese ladies came up and asked me which
building it was that King Kong was climbing in the movie.
Raiden:
You pointed out the World Trade Center.
Rose:
But the ladies weren’t convinced.
Raiden:
The tourists were talking about the black and white King Kong.
Rose:
I said it was probably the Chrysler Building.
Raiden:
You hadn’t seen the black and white original.
Rose:
I just vaguely remembered the pictures. And then you showed up and
started mouthing off.
Rose:
You were like, ‘No, it’s the Empire State.’
Raiden:
I said the Chrysler Building was in Godzilla.
Rose:
(laughs at the reminiscence)
Rose:
We started arguing, and I forgot all about the tourists.
Rose:
I was insisting that I was right and you were doing the same...
Rose:
The next thing we knew, the Japanese women had gone away.
Rose:
And we ended up going to the Skyscraper Museum(ca.2001) to see who
had the better recall.
Raiden:
We argued all the way to Battery park.
Rose:
And for nothing:
Raiden:
Since the museum was closed.
Raiden:
We (becoming suddenly shy) went out separate ways from the museum.
Raiden:
And then I found you again by coincidence out in the base (FOXHOUND)
corridor.
Rose:
An amazing coincidence(not in reality)—- that we were actually
working at the same place.
Raiden:
That night, we went up to the top of the Empire State.
Rose:
It was so beautiful -– I could look down on the Chrysler Building
from hundred and twenty stories above ground.
Raiden:
I felt –- overwhelmed.
Raiden:
I didn’t care anymore who was right.
Rose:
And that was our first date. (as though recalling the event)
Raiden:
We watched ‘King Kong’ I your apartment a bunch of times that night.
Raiden:
Didn’t sleep till morning...
Rose:
(sigh)
Raiden:
If it weren’t for that coincidence, we wouldn’t be together.

I know... (self-loathing)
Rose:
I’m sorry, Jack. I’m taking up your time again. (In reality, Rose
engineered contact with Raiden by the Patriots’ order)

Let’s just say I’m one of your fans.
Ask the colonel.
Raiden:
Colonel, someone calling himself Mr.X just contacted me. Do you now
anything about it?
Colonel:
No – and whoever it was, it wasn’t a burst transmission. The
transmission was sent from inside the Big Shell.
Raiden:
He called himself ‘Deepthroat’ at first. Do you think --?
Colonel:
I caught that part too, but the possibility of it being true is none.

That’s the only way to describe it. A kind of cyborg ninja, complete
with a sword.

Raiden walks out in the direction of the voices. He can see Olga at the top
of the stairs. She wears tiger-stripe urban camos over a ninja inner wear.
Olga:
Are you hiding something from me?
Solidus:(OFF)
Olga, are you it wasn’t an Aresenal Tengu? (referring to the special
squadron attached to Arsenal, a new model of Metal Gear)
Olga denies the suggestion (and with it the user’s suspicion that she herself
may be the ninja) vehemently.
Olga:
Don’t be a fool. Think I wouldn’t know the difference? I’ve never seen
field gear like that, ever.
Solidus:(OFF)
All right. We’ll intensify patrols. Anything else?
Olga:
Actually...one more thing. You’ll find it hard to believe, though.

I checked out the bottom of Strut H for you, Pete.

Wait –- what’s this about? (he has not been told)

I asked Pliskin to look around. Knowing Fatman, I can’t shake the
feeling that all the bombs so far were just wrong.
Raiden:
So did you find anything?
Pliskin:
A hell of a lot of C4’s packed into the bottom of the Strut. Pete
called it right.
Peter:
I knew he had the real thing up his sleeve...
Raiden:
So all the other ones were dummies?
Peter:
No, they’re a threat all right, but the detonation wouldn’t be enough
to destroy the entire Shell. But the C4’s Pliskin found would inflict
serious structural damage.
Pliskin:
That’s not the bad news either. These are sensor-proof.
Peter:
What!

New model, I guess. The ionization sensor can’t detect them.

I lost it.
Peter:
And a church was lost in the explosion. All those kids playing nearby
too...
Raiden:
Lied?
Peter:
Yes, lied. I didn’t lose my leg in the explosion.
Pliskin:

So many dead –- all because of my mistake. All I could think about
was hiding from the crime, shielding myself fro the public outcry. I
wanted people to be sorry for me, for my weakness...
Raiden:

I faked being a victim myself because I couldn’t bear to face the
families of the real victims.

emission, and arrogance. No one should teach the skills I taught him

It’s a bomb all right. Sealed C4, and in huge quantities...
Raiden:
You think there’s another one in Shell 1?
Peter:
For sure. Somewhere at the bottom of Strut A.
Raiden:
What are you so certain?
Peter:
If this bottom section of the strut is demolished, Shell 2 will be
well on its way to destruction
Pliskin:
You mean that Shell 2 will actually sink?
Peter:
Not immediately. There’ll still be five struts left.
Peter:
But, if Shell 1 loses a strut at the same time, it’ll be a very
different story.
Peter:
The Big Shell’s structural integrity depends on a very exact balance.
If both Shells lose a strut each, the whole structure will tear
itself apart under its own weight.
Raiden:
What do we do?
Peter:
I have a sensor that can locate even those scentless C4’s. It makes
combined use of a neutron scintillator and a hydrogen bomb detector.
Raiden:
You brought that stuff with you?
Peter:
Of course. I made the calibrations while I was in the pantry.
Raiden:
Does it work?
Peter:
I just tested it, and it definitely responds. But the best I can do
is a sound beacon, not the radar.
Raiden:
Sound?
Peter:
The shorter the interval between beacons, the closer the target.

There’s another one in that pantry I was in. You can go back and get
it.

Fatman has my number. (calmly)
Peter:
A proximity trigger. Microwave.
Raiden:
Microwave? (hesitantly)
Peter:
With a 7 foot range.
Alternate:
Peter:
With a 2 meter range.
Peter:
It’s not a technique I taught him. Neither was that multi-bomb booby
trap. Looks Like he’s far surpassed me as far as explosives technique
goes. As for the rest –
Pliskin:
Pete, get the hell out of there!
Peter:
There’s less than 30 seconds left. It’s too late.
Raiden:
No!
Peter:
Pliskin, get away from Strut H, as fast as you can.
Pliskin:
Pete --
Peter:
Raiden, keep your distance.
Peter:
Use the spray from as far away as possible.
Raiden:
Me? (frightened by the responsibility)
Peter:
You can do it. I know that.
Raiden:
I’m not so sure...
Peter:
But I am. Do it, know you can. (emphatically)
The sound of the countdowns termination (long beep)
Peter: (cry)!!
The transmission is abruptly cut off.

Codec screen
Raiden’s elevator reaches the bottom of Strut A. He successfully defuses the
scentless bomb at the bottom of the Strut using Sensor B. Raiden calls the
Colonel.
Raiden:
Colonel, I’ve neutralized the bomb.
Colonel:
Good work, Raiden.
Raiden:
It was a great loss for everyone.
Colonel:
Yes, it was.
Raiden:
Colonel, any damage report on the explosion?
Colonel:
Seems that the duct for diverting the contaminated sea water was
destroyed. And the central section of Shell 2 is flooding.
Colonel:
And the explosion’s ignited the oil slick on the surface.
Raiden:
What about the toxins?
Colonel:
The chemicals stayed in containment. There’s no immediate danger.
Raiden:
Is the Big Shell stable?
Colonel:
Shell 1 was unaffected. The price was high, but the threat of the
bomb is over for now.
Raiden:
What’s the next objective?
Colonel:
Rescue the President. Get back to the upper level.
Raiden:
Roger that.

Codec screen
Raiden returns to the elevator hall to begin his new task of locating the
President. Another call comes in from the Colonel.
Colonel:
Raiden, the terrorists have retaliated for our bomb neutralization.
Raiden:
What?
Colonel:
A hostage has been killed –- shot in the head.
Colonel:
They shot one of them on the roof to make sure we caught it. One of
our satellites caught it, clear as day. (The Colonel is in fact
lying. No hostages have been killed)
Raiden:
Damn!
Colonel:
They announced that they would kill one every hour from now on.
Raiden:
What are my orders? What should I do?
Colonel:
Stay with your mission objective. Rescue the President.
Raiden:
What about the other hostages?
Colonel:
President Johnson is your first priority.
Raiden:
(becoming heated) Priority my butt. They’re all in danger!
Rose:
Jack, be reasonable. I know what you’re feeling, but you can’t save
them all.
Raiden:
No, not by myself.
Colonel:
Are you expecting that Pliskin to come through?
Raiden:
...
Colonel:
Looks like he’s turned his radio off too.
Raiden:
I can’t complete this mission by myself.
Colonel:
That man was not included in the simulation (The S3 plan).
Colonel:
He’s not a factor in this mission.
Raiden:
What do you mean by that, Colonel?
Colonel:
Your mission must remain a solo effort.
Raiden:
What about the SEAL’s? no second attempt?
Colonel:
They haven’t even gotten to planning that.
Colonel:
All we can do is wait. In the meantime, you’re our only hope.
Raiden:
...I understand.
Colonel:
Raiden, go and rescue the President. You can start off by getting to
the upper level of Strut A.

From “Re-enter Fortune 1”
To “End of Fortune Battle 1”
P028_01_P01 Bomb disposal/Re-enter Fortune 1 Polygon demo 1(MC)
Elevator hall, bottom of Strut A
Raiden waits for the elevator to come down to the elevator hall. After a
short while, the elevator descends into view and comes to a stop. The door
opens, and a slender black woman steps out. Fortune is coatless, dressed only
in a leather leotard that leaves her arms and legs bare. She looks more like
a model than a battled-hardened soldier, and appears totally incongruous in
her surroundings. Her hair is tossing though there is no hint of a breeze in
the hall (caused by the electromagnetic field). Discard if difficult to
execute modeling wise. The insects(from the pool) make a beeline for Fortune
as if the had been waiting for a shepherd. Rather than make contact with
Fortune’s skin, they simple range about her.
Raiden conceals himself behind some objects in the center of the elevator
hall. Fortune, completely at ease, takes aim with her long linear rifle. She
begins to talk, seemingly completely aware of Raiden’s presence, whom in
actuality she believes is Snake. Vamp has informed her of the arrival of
Snake, her father’s killer, in the Big Shell. Assuming he is responsible for
the neutralization of their bombs, Fortune has come to seek him out. Her
objective is to kill him –- or alternately to be killed by him.
Fortune:
I can’t tell you how happy I am that you were alive after all. I knew
this moment would come.
Fortune:
Show yourself and finish me –- like you finished off my father!
Fortune:
Otherwise, you’ll be the one to die.
Fortune fires the rifle two or three times. The shots take out the upper part
of the container concealing Raiden.
One of these shots will blow away a pipe at the top of the door to the
previous area, bringing down a shower of rubble, blocking the way.
Raiden:
Oh crap!
Raiden moves to another concealment, and Fortune sees his face.
Fortune:
That’s not –-him?
Raiden ducks into the shadows.
Fortune:
This could be –-interesting. You’ve seen the fires of hell, haven’t
you? [Fortune with her uncanny ability to sense terror in others,
realizes that Raiden carries with him a dark past. His childhood, in
fact, was spent as a boy soldier in the ruthless fronts of the
Liberian civil conflicts. Subplot.]
Fortune:
Maybe you can give me death...?
Behind her, the elevator begins its ascent. She glances at it, then smiles in
satisfaction. Raiden also looks to the departing elevator, but with
frustrated longing.
Fortune:
My name is Fortune, lucky in war and nothing else...
Fortune:
And without a death to call my own.
She turns to Raiden and coolly utter her request:
Fortune:
Hurry, kill me please!

Elevator hall, bottom of Strut A
In the even that Raiden tries to return to the previous area during the
Fortune battle, Fortune will strafe the top of the door, bringing down a
shower of rubble and blocking the way.
Fortune:
Didn’t I tell you? You’re not going anywhere!

P029_01_P01 Fortune battle Codec call, Codec demo 1 (mandatory Colonel CALL)
Codec screen
None of Raiden’s conventional attacks will work on Fortune, and he has no
choice by to run from her continuously. After approximately 4 minutes of
this, the Colonel will call in.
Colonel:
Raiden, Fatman just contacted us directly.
Raiden:
Fatman called us?
Colonel:
Yes. Looks like he placed a bomb on the heliport. He specifically
asked for you, Raiden.
Raiden:
What!?
Colonel:
He’s killed off Peter. Now he’s after you.
Raiden:
Why me?
Colonel:
How should I know?
Raiden:
Look, this is really not a good time for this.
Colonel:
The countdowns already begun, Raiden!
Raiden:
Great, how much time do I have left?
Colonel:
I’ll show you the count.
According to the difficulty level:
Colonel:
200 seconds remaining.
Colonel:
300 seconds remaining.
Colonel:
400 seconds remaining.
Colonel:
500 seconds remaining.
Raiden:
So he’s planning to take this place out
Colonel:
It looks like he has a different Agenda from that of Dead Cell.
Raiden:
What about backup?
Colonel:
None, There’s no time.
Raiden:
What type of explosives is it?
Colonel:
He didn’t say.

P031_01P01 End of Fortune Battle 1
Elevator hall, bottom of Strut A
Raiden cannot hit Fortune at all. On the other hand, he is fast losing places
of concealment to her linear rifle. When all the hiding places are lost or
after five minutes of battle, the elevator arrives.
The elevator comes to a stop and Vamp steps out. He runs up behind Fortune.
Vamp:
I’ll take over, Queen.
Fortune:
What is it?
Vamp:
It seems our friend Fatman is out of control.
Fortune:
He’ll actually try to destroy this place?
Vamp:
Yes. This could unravel everything we’ve planned.
Fortune:
But why would he do such a thing?
Vamp:
Who knows? But he’s nothing more than a stereotypical mad bomber now.
He’s completely lost sight of our ideals.
Vamp:
And with it, his loyalty to Commander Jackson (Fortune’s husband and
the Dead Cell leader who died in prison after he was falsely(?)
incarcerated)
Fortune:
All right. I’ll take care of the wayward soul.
Fortune indicates Raiden with her chin.
Fortune:
(sadly)It wasn’t him (Snake)...
Vamp:
Unfortunate.
