Metal Gear Solid 2 PS2 Full codec text dump
May 30 2002

Ver 1.03

By: Artemio Urbina ([email protected]). You can use this dump in its
original for as long as you don't modify it, and give appropriate recognition.
Have fun!
For more stuff like this, visit JUNKER HQ (.net) (MGS1 text dump, Snatcher,
Lunar, etc) Also available is an analysis on the final dialog of Metal Gear
Solid 2, including themes like evolution, genetics, memetics and Artificial
Intelligence (Metal Gear Solid 2:Sons Of Liberty Ending Analysis: Gene and Meme).

Introduction
-------------------------

Well, here is the text dump of MGS2. The format is quite simple. First each
line has the address the text was taken from, and then the text. All the text
of the game should be here. If you find anything missing/wrong, please contact
me. If you have curiosity on how this was accomplished, feel free to contact
me, or grab the source code/executable at my site.

I added the dump from the demo disc, Since I have been unable to rip the text
regarding some of the first parts of the game (the battle with Olga for
instance). This is because I cannot read some files from the DVD ROM....
Safedisc? Any help on reading such files from the DVD-ROM would be greatly
appreciated.

History:
-------------------------

1.3: (30/05/2002) Fixed more typos, a longer introduction and tidbits of text
that were missing.
1.2: (17/12/2001) OK, fixed a couple of typos. Also added a new section. The
dump from the demo disc.
1.1: (14/12/2001) Fixed the dump of the boot ip sequence. A lot of info was
missing there.
1.0: (10/12/2001) Initial release

I.1 Demo Disc Text
--------------------

0x1f08de4: Our boy is right on schedule.
0x1f08e14: He'll know soon enough...

0x268c474: There's a new Metal Gear on that ship, that's for certain.
0x268c4c0: Must be in the holds then.
0x268c4ec: Probably.
0x268c508: But I want you to first go up to the top level of the
infrastructure,
0x268c560: to the bridge.
0x268c580: We need to find out where the tanker is headed.
0x268c5c4: A little reconnaissance, huh?
0x268c5f4: There's too much we don't know about this new prototype.
0x268c640: Capabilities, deployment method - we don't even know
0x268c688: - how close it is to completion.
0x268c6bc: If we know where the testing arena is, I can start to draw ...
0x268c70c: some reasonable conclusions.
0x268c73c: All right. I'll head to the bridge ASAP.
0x268c778: Try to avoid confrontations.
0x268c7a8: Our goal is to collect evidence on Metal Gear development
0x268c7f4: and expose it to the world.
0x268c820: It would be best if you could get out of there
0x268c860: without alerting anyone.
0x268c88c: Don't worry. I know the drill -- we're not terrorists.
0x268c8d4: Very good.
0x268c8f0: Don't you forget that you're a part of "Philanthropy" now-
0x268c940: an anti-Metal Gear organization and officially recognized by the UN.
0x268c998: Recognized, but still fringe, Otacon.

0x2c110f4: They don't look armed...
0x2c11120: Hey, Earth to Snake.
0x2c11148: These are nice, upstanding Marines, not terrorists.
0x2c11190: Don't get caught; you're in stealth mode here.
0x2c111e8: And if it comes to that, a little beauty sleep never hurt anyone.
0x2c1123c: By the way, Otacon, are you sure of this intelligence?
0x2c11284: Absolutely.
0x2c112a0: Hacked it out of Pentagon's classified files myself.
0x2c112e8: No traces?
0x2c11304: Oh please. Moi?
0x2c11324: We can't rule out the possibility that this is a trap.
0x2c1136c: We're both ranked high on the wanted list, y'know.
0x2c113b0: You worry too much.
0x2c113d4: I hope so.
0x2c113f0: They don't seem anything but civilians from here.
0x2c11434: With all the ships passing on the river and in the harbor.
0x2c11480: Putting uniformed Marines on the deck would be a bad idea.
0x2c114cc: People can get a clear view of the water from Riverside too.
0x2c1151c: The waterline is too high...
0x2c1154c: According to the navigational plans,
0x2c11584: this ship should have discharged its cargo upriver.
0x2c115cc: A Metal Gear in the holds will weigh down a ship a bit, I'd say.
0x2c11620: The military trains you to watch for threats from the stern
0x2c11670: on a boat. That's SOP for Counter-terror ops too.
0x2c116b4: Security should be tighter.
0x2c116e0: You worry too much again.
0x2c1170c: Satellite surveillance is a major international pastime these days.
0x2c11764: I'd say the cargo holds, safely below the deck.
0x2c117a8: Do you see the entrance to the holds?
0x2c117e0: Looks like there are a few entry ways into the crew quarters.
0x2c11830: A chopper?
0x2c1184c: Looks like we're not the only ones after Metal Gear tonight.
0x2c1189c: Is that a chopper I just heard?
0x2c118cc: Affirmative.

0x42767a4: Probably another cavalry...
0x42767d0: What's their game? Hijack?
0x42767fc: They're probably targeting the ship's controls.
0x4276840: Otacon,
0x4276858: how many men do you need to take over a tanker of this size?
0x42768a8: The ship is run by a computer so... I'd say about 18 people.
0x42768f8: AKS-74u?

0x4a62534: Russians?
0x4a62550: You sure?
0x4a6256c: No Marine barber touched that head of hair.
0x4e2f5e4: Looks like the tanker's theirs now.
0x4e2f618: Kasatka...?
0x4e2f634: Kasatka? Kamov chopper, right? 'Killer Whale'...

0x56baa24: So it is the Kasatka...
0x56baa4c: Russian choppers...

0x6bbe5a4: ...Shalashaska has landed. I'm on my way to the tanker holds...
0x6bbe5f8: Report your status.
0x6bbe61c: Control room, communications and engine room are under control.
0x6bbe670: All entry and exit points to the tanker holds secured.
0x6bbe6b8: Infrared sensors placed and operational.
0x6bbe6f4: Good work. Are the explosives in place?
0x6bbe730: Yes, they're all planted.
0x6bbe75c: Listen.
0x6bbe774: Once we have what we came for, the tanker will be scuttled.
0x6bbe7c4: And the vehicle's pilot.
0x6bbe7f0: He's the only one who underwent the VR training. No one else can do
it.
0x6bbe84c: Are you sure you can trust him?
0x6bbe87c: Your part in the mission is complete. You are to leave at once.
0x6bbe8d0: No, it's not over yet!
0x6bbe8f8: I can see the moon... even in this storm. Pale as death.
0x6bbe944: I have a bad feeling about this mission...
0x6bbe980: You swore this to me.
0x6bbe9a8: That you would leave the unit, once the mission was complete.
0x6bbe9f8: Do not worry. This is a country of 'liberty and justice for all'.
0x6bbea60: This is where I belong, with the unit.
0x6bbea98: I have nowhere else to go.
0x6bbeac4: Father, I want to fight together.
0x6bbeaf8: There is no choice to make here, Olga!
0x6bbeb30: Need I remind you that you are carrying my grandchild?
0x6bbeb78: ......
0x6bbeb90: You will be on the helicopter out of here, now!
0x6bbebd4: Damn it!
0x6bbebf0: Freeze!
0x6bbec08: Hands over your head!
0x6bbec30: Toss your gun overboard! Slowly.
0x6bbec64: A woman...?
0x6bbec80: Show your face.
0x6bbeca0: You men -- you're all the same.
0x6bbecd0: Who are you?
0x6bbecf0: We are nomads.
0x6bbed10: Wanderers.
0x6bbed2c: I said, don't move!
0x6bbed50: Americans... so you shoot unarmed women too?

0x8b81804: I'm a nomad too.
0x8b81840: What else do you have there?
0x8b81870: Take the knife and toss it.
0x8b8189c: Not there. Toss it overboard!
0x8b818cc: Hold that position.
0x8b818f4: Now, turn around.
0x8b81918: You know what you're doing.
0x8b81944: It's stopped raining...
0x8b8196c: Not too shabby, is it? New York, I mean?
0x8b819bc: And that brings our tour to its conclusion!
0x8b819fc: Scout knife with a surprise --
0x8b81a2c: -- you a Spetsnaz?
0x8b81a50: I think you deserve a little credit.
0x8b81a88: No one's ever dodged that shot of mine...
0x8b81adc: no one gets lucky twice, either!

0xa208ae0: CYPHER!?

I.2 Real game text
-------------------

0xf574: At the moment,
0xf594: every industrialized nation on the globe
0xf5d0: knows the specifications for Metal Gear.
0xf60c: Worse yet,
0xf628: so do a number of rogue states.

0x1e80a4: They are all working on deploying
0x1e80d8: their own Metal Gear force to compete
0x1e8110: with the US's nuclear strike capability.
0x1e814c: The world is about to see
0x1e8178: a swarm of these Metal Gear derivatives.

0x40c814: We initiated development of Metal Gear RAY
0x40c850: as a countermeasure to these pirated weapons forces.
0x40c898: The only thing that can stand up to a Metal Gear is
0x40c8ef: another Metal Gear.

0x6369a4: With RAY,
0x6369c0: the hundreds if not thousands of Metal Gears
0x636a00: that exist all over the world are no longer a threat.
0x636a48: The blind rush to nuclear proliferation
0x636aac: and it will be the Marine Corps, and our RAY,
0x636aec: that will accomplish this.

0x8bf264: This weapon will render all other Metal Gears obsolete.
0x8bf2b0: Nations building up their own Metal Gear force
0x8bf2f0: will think twice about their nuclear strategy
0x8bf330: in the light of the military dominance
0x8bf368: spelled out by RAY.

0xb64704: The shift in the balance of power
0xb64738: will mean a new world order.
0xb64768: And we, the Marine Corps will play a central role
0xb647ac: in its military affairs

0xd5cf14: Some say that the strategic importance of
0xd5cf50: aircraft carriers will be reduced
0xd5cf84: by the completion of RAY.
0xd5cfb0: The opposition from the Navy
0xd5cfe0: is an undeniable fact.
0xd5d008: There is a lot of pressure from Navy brass,
0xd5d048: especially those with submarine
0xd5d07c: and air background.

0xfecd54: Not to mention interference from a major player...
0xfecd9c: But this project is vital to the Marine Corps.
0xfecde0: The enemy is sometimes closer to home
0xfece18: than you think, gentlemen.
0xfece44: Always bear that in mind.

0x1271164: Ours is not the only military project
0x127119c: devoted to Metal Gear development,
0x12711d4: but it cannot be more different in nature
0x1271210: from the Navy's.
0x1271234: Theirs is a program that will add fuel
0x1271270: to the uncontrolled fire of nuclear proliferation.

0x14a65e4: It is a fact that players in favor of such a policy
0x14a662c: are attempting to derail our own RAY project.
0x14a666c: But I promise you that they will not succeed.

0x169f86c: and it is my greatest wish never to have her,
0x169f8ac: or her children,
0x169f8d0: experience the horror of nuclear war.
0x169f908: As a father, I want to leave a better world
0x169f948: for the future generation.
0x169f974: As a soldier,
0x169f994: I know that is my duty.

0x1973fd4: The proliferation and development of
0x197400c: Metal Gear technology are about to render agreements
0x1974054: like the NPT and START obsolete.
0x1974088: There are also forces at work
0x19740b8: trying to exploit this disturbing trend
0x19740f4: to further their own power and influence.

0x1c63054: The human race is about to slide back into the
0x1c63094: endless arms race of that last century,
0x1c630d0: and we cannot afford to play that Russian Roulette again.
0x1c63150: is here to prevent that possibility.

0x1f23b54: The brain drain of nuclear specialists
0x1f23b8c: and the black market trade in weapons-grade plutonium
0x1f23bd4: has been fueling a cottage industry in nuclear weapons
0x1f23c20: since late last century.
0x1f23c4c: Add Metal Gear to the mix,
0x1f23c78: and the result is the renewed proliferation
0x1f23cb8: you see the world over.

0x22f5ab4: We once lived in the shadow of the doomsday machine.
0x22f5afc: This Metal Gear RAY can bring other Metal Gears
0x22f5b64: and ensure that we never know that fear again.
0x22f5bd0: will be the guardians of this peace.

0x261f0c4: The National Missile Defense program was initiated
0x261f108: in the end of the 20th century,
0x261f13c: projected to completion in 2005.
0x261f170: However, the NMD trial conducted in the year 2000
0x261f1b4: was a complete failure,
0x261f1dc: and the success of the 1999 trials
0x261f210: is now considered a chance happening.

0x295b534: There was no technological solution in sight
0x295b574: and the program was already attracting strong criticism
0x295b5c0: from Russia and China for its potential violation
0x295b604: of the Anti-Ballistic Missile agreement.
0x295b640: The fact that any develop- ment in missile defense
0x295b684: would trigger accelerated weapons development
0x295b6c4: has been pointed out from the very beginning.

0x2cfcc74: Former President Sears did also act towards reducing
0x2cfccbc: the nuclear stockpile while nurturing the NMD concept.
0x2cfcd28: who lowered START3's ceiling for tactical nuclear weapons
0x2cfcd74: in order to bring Russia around
0x2cfcda8: to approving a revision to the ABM treaty.
0x2cfcde8: Everyone believed the world was headed for the end of
0x2cfce30: the arms race when Shadow Moses happened.

0x3119824: Even though the develop- ment of Metal Gear REX
0x3119868: is still outside the bounds of official truth,
0x31198a8: everyone in the inter- national military community
0x31198ec: knows the facts.
0x3119910: Its specs spread across the globe like wildfire,
0x3119954: and the nuclear race is on again.
0x3119988: The only thing that can reverse its course
0x31199c8: is this Metal Gear RAY.

0x357c534: Metal Gear RAY is amphibious,
0x357c564: unlike the Army's REX.
0x357c58c: It can cruise deep underwater,
0x357c5bc: move in undetected and make its landing on any shoreline.

0x37fa554: Joint Tactical Information Distribution System
0x37fa594: identifies targets with unerring accuracy,
0x37fa5d4: and takes them out with massive firepower.
0x37fa614: It is the ultimate weapon,
0x37fa640: and it is yours to guard.
0x37fa66c: I'd like you all to think about what that means.

0x3af4084: This Metal Gear RAY is a prototype,
0x3af40bc: designed to be operated by an onboard pilot.
0x3af40fc: In its final form, RAY will be unmanned,
0x3af4138: driven by tele-existence
0x3af4164: and an autonomous control system.

0x3e2dbf4: The importance of next- generation technology
0x3e2dc34: such as C4ISR and RMA in battle situation
0x3e2dc70: has been discussed time and again,
0x3e2dca4: but RAY is the first to deploy it so fully.
0x3e2dce4: With RAY's completion,
0x3e2dd0c: the Marine Corps will lead the way for
0x3e2dd44: a new age of military tactics.

0x4179ce4: We will proceed out of New York Harbor
0x4179d1c: and conduct top-secret field testing of RAY.
0x4179d5c: Shadow Moses has turned public opinion against
0x4179d9c: weapons development,
0x4179dc4: and this training needs to stay covert.

0x449e514: We cannot risk jeopar- dizing the program
0x449e550: on the eve of its completion.
0x449e580: The disguised oil tanker is a part of our cover.
0x449e5c4: RAY is well worth all these precautions.
0x449e600: Trust me.

0x46c1a38: after the great Manta Ray.
0x46c1a64: Our RAY has a sting
0x46c1a88: that nature never gave the Manta.
0x46c1abc: With this latest Metal Gear,
0x46c1aec: we can rule the sea and land as we never have before.

0x4a41cb4: You must be tense.
0x4a41cd8: Let's do a little stretching, shall we?

0x4de0604: Your necks must be stiff by now.
0x4de0638: Time for some more stretches.

0x4ec6d54: Let's stretch those neck muscles again.

0x4f73d24: We have intelligence that there are
0x4f73d5c: anti-Metal Gear terrorists planning to target this ship.
0x507b5e4: Intruder to the left!
0x511cda4: Intruder to the right!

0x5194474: Intruder in the back!

0x52275b8: should that actually happen,
0x52275e8: I expect you to be prepared.
0x5227618: We cannot, and will not give up RAY.
0x5227650: Stay on your guard at all times.

0x55925f8: will lead the charge into a new world order
0x5592638: with Metal Gear RAY.
0x5592660: That is all. Dismissed!

0x5776bf4: President Sears forced the NMD proposal through
0x5776c38: and succeeded in deploying the program.
0x5776cb4: with plans for the hundred billion dollar program budget
0x5776d00: that actually arranged the legislative approval.

0x5a6ffd4: The Metal Gear REX deve- lopment on Shadow Moses
0x5a70018: was supposedly the first preparatory measure
0x5a70058: taken against the future possibility of
0x5a70094: reduced nuclear defense capability.
0x5a700cc: NMD technology leak to other nations
0x5a70104: would make that contingency likely.
0x5a7013c: But if this theory is correct,
0x5a7016c: it means that there was a calculated intent to cash in
0x5a701b4: on this opportunity
0x5a701d8: by specific interests
0x5a70200: within the military- industrial complex.
0x5a7023c: We are here today to flush out and rid our country
0x5a70284: of these corrupting forces.
0x5a702b0: That is our mission,
0x5a702d8: and you will bear that in mind.

0x6075a64: It is an undeniable fact that there is a force at work
0x6075aac: in our government, and within the military,
0x6075aec: seeking to control national affairs
0x6075b24: to suit its own interests.
0x6075b50: Metal Gear RAY bears the burden of
0x6075b84: confronting this party,
0x6075bac: thwarting their plans and guiding this nation
0x6075bf0: back to its original path.

0x6419e40: the future of the country
0x6419e6c: rests with you tonight.

0x65f4944: George Sears surrendered his presidency
0x65f4980: in the aftermath of Shadow Moses.
0x65f49b4: The official reason given did not of course include
0x65f49fc: the development of Metal Gear REX
0x65f4a30: and next-generation nuclear warheads.
0x68384a4: But even you will have heard rumors that
0x68384e0: he was forced to resign
0x6838508: after the failed cover up cost him his influence
0x683854c: in the political community.
0x69ffe04: This turned out to be longer than expected.
0x69ffe44: At ease -- rest a little.

0x6c525f4: I seem to be repeating myself.
0x6c52624: Chalk it up to old age.

0x6d724c4: I'm on a roll here. Let's go on a little bit longer.

0x6e412f4: Don't stay on the same ground!
0x6e41324: You are here to complete a mission,
0x6e4135c: and that means moving forward.
0x6e4138c: Take pride in being a Marine,
0x6e413bc: and remember what that means.
0x6e413ec: Only those who are willing to take risks
0x6e41428: can achieve victory.

0x9d438d4: He's Romanian, a wizard with knives as you saw.
0x9d43918: The way he moved -- didn't seem human.
0x9d43954: You won't see that in VR, I guarantee.
0x9d4398c: What is he?
0x9d439a8: One of the members of Dead Cell.
0x9d439dc: Dead Cell... Him?
0x9d43a00: A special forces unit created by Ex-President George Sears.
0x9d43a50: The name was originally intended to reflect its anti-terrorist
functions.
0x9d43aac: The unit would launch unannounced assaults on government complexes,
0x9d43b04: for the ultimate terrorism simulation.
0x9d43b3c: They were needed to show VR troopers like you how to deal with the
real thing.
0x9d43b9c: But around the time their original leader died in prison,
0x9d43be8: the unit began to unravel.
0x9d43c14: They were always close to the edge,
0x9d43c48: but they became more and more extreme.
0x9d43c80: Began to go after U.S. allies, even civilians.
0x9d43cc0: We estimate that no fewer than a hundred people died
0x9d43d22: the Dead Cell arranged on their own.
0x9d43d5c: They were out of control -- and it all came to a head six months
ago.
0x9d43db4: What happened?
0x9d43dd4: The unit was devastated.
0x9d43e00: There are only three left now -- and you just saw one of them.
0x9d43e54: Why would they go after the Big Shell?
0x9d43e8c: How should I know? I told you they were on the lunatic fringe.
0x9d43edc: What about the leader? He says he's Solid Snake?
0x9d43f20: Snake died two years ago.

0xb0b9a14: Kid, this is THE bomb disposal guy.
0xb0b9a48: Open any explosives disposal textbook and you'll see his name.
0xb0b9a98: Heh, just ancient history now.
0xb0b9ac8: Why did they bring you out of retirement then?
0xb0b9b0c: Because the terrorist group here includes one of my students.
0xb0b9b5c: The Emperor of Explosives -- Fatman.
0xb0b9b94: He built an atomic bomb when he was only ten.
0xb0b9bd4: I created him in a sense.
0xb0b9c00: And that's why you're here...
0xb0b9c30: I'm pretty rusty.
0xb0b9c54: I was supposed to supervise the bomb disposal --
0xb0b9c98: looks like it was taken care of before I had my turn.
0xb0b9ce0: I wouldn't say that.

0xba5f234: A skinny guy.
0xba5f254: He went in with us...
0xba5f27c: Where is he?
0xba5f29c: I haven't seen him since that skirmish.
0xba5f2d4: Was he killed?
0xba5f2f4: I don't think so. I didn't find his body.
0xba5f330: I see...
0xba5f34c: They told me he was the security systems architect for the Big
Shell.
0xba5f3a4: Why would they take a civilian along?
0xba5f3dc: Everything in this structure is computer-controlled.
0xba5f424: He was supposed to get us past all the security measures.
0xba5f470: I never heard anything about that.
0xba5f4a4: He had official orders with him.
0xba5f4ec: We'll leave that for later.
0xba5f518: Right now, we need to figure out how to deal with all the bombs.
0xba5f56c: But there's no one left...
0xba5f598: from the SEAL's EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) squad.
0xba5f5e4: Yep. So we have to do it ourselves.
0xba5f618: But I've never defused a bomb before...
0xba5f650: Hold on a sec.
0xba5f670: Off to confer with the CO again?

0xc53c1b4: I know Fatman well.
0xc53c1d8: I know how into his own aesthetics he is.
0xc53c214: Signatures?
0xc53c230: Yes. On every bomb he builds,
0xc53c260: he always leaves a trace of the cologne he uses.
0xc53c2a4: The sensor also picks up that particular scent spectrum.
0xc53c2f0: Is that something he learned from you?
0xc53c328: No, it was his own quirk.
0xc53c354: He wouldn't work by any rules except his own,
0xc53c398: and he followed them like a religion.
0xc53c3d0: And common sense wasn't one of his strong points.
0xc53c414: I thought I taught him everything I knew...
0xc53c454: I have no children of my own, and I...
0xc53c48c: thought I found a son in him.
0xc53c4bc: He had the right stuff, you know.
0xc53c4f0: There's something very unusual about an ability like that.
0xc53c53c: Even at Indian Head, he got special treatment.
0xc53c5c8: Maybe that's what started all this.
0xc53c5fc: I didn't teach him the most important thing I had to tell him.
0xc53c64c: There are some things you have to pass on.
0xc53c68c: The trick is to know which one.
0xc53c6bc: Right...
0xc53c6d8: All I taught him were skills.
0xc53c708: And now I have to stop him from using it to destroy us all.

0xd8f2134: The Patriots --
0xd8f2154: even I don't know who the actual members are.
0xd8f2194: Are they financial, political, or military leaders?
0xd8f21dc: No one knows who the Patriots really are.
0xd8f2218: Even my instructions come from a cut-out.
0xd8f2254: All I've been told is that
0xd8f2280: every key decision is made by a group of twelve men
0xd8f22c8: known as the Wisemen's Committee.
0xd8f22fc: Your Office...? The White House...?
0xd8f2330: Merely puppets. Pawns in a game.
0xd8f2364: By pledging my loyalty,
0xd8f2390: an insignificant son of a senator was awarded the Presidency.
0xd8f23f4: Of course, that wasn't the only price I had to pay...
0xd8f243c: What do you mean?
0xd8f2460: Even if a pawn becomes a queen, it is still just a playing piece...
0xd8f24b8: I wanted to leave my own mark in history.
0xd8f24f4: But my ambitions were...
0xd8f2538: You'll understand someday...

0xea9e2c4: My predecessor...
0xea9e2e8: George Sears.
0xea9e308: That was the name the public came to know him by.
0xea9e38c: He was the third Snake, preceded by Solid and Liquid...
0xea9e402: project.
0xea9e41c: Neither Solid nor Liquid, he was a well-balanced masterpiece
0xea9e46c: that the Patriots saw fit to entrust with the Presidency.
0xea9e4b8: However, he fell out of grace with the organization four years ago
0xea9e510: when, acting on his own, he started an incident.
0xea9e554: Four years ago... Shadow Moses?

0xf533aa4: That's right...
0xf533ac4: Arsenal. We're talking about an impregnable fortress
0xf533b0c: carrying a load of over a couple of thousand missiles
0xf533b54: including nuclear warheads --
0xf533b84: all protected by a horde of mass-produced Metal Gear RAY units.
0xf533bd8: Mass-produced...?
0xf533bfc: The RAY unit was originally designed for the Marines
0xf533c44: to be used as a countermeasure
0xf533c74: against the Metal Gear variations throughout the world.
0xf533cc0: The Patriots had RAY redesigned to protect the new Arsenal Gear.
0xf533d14: So now anti-Metal Gears are guarding a Metal Gear?
0xf533d58: Ironic, isn't it?
0xf533d7c: That's not all.
0xf533da0: Arsenal Gear has full access to the Military's Tactical Network,
0xf533df4: giving it the ability to exercise absolute control over our nation's
armed forces,
0xf533e58: not to mention our nuclear armament.
0xf533e90: In short, Arsenal was created to be the core of our country.
0xf533ee0: What kind of idiotic weapon --?
0xf533f10: Weapon? No. You're not seeing the full picture.
0xf533f68: Arsenal Gear is more than just a military tool...

0x10632254: This is no ordinary nuclear bomb.
0x10632288: This weapon is capable of heavy hydrogen nuclear fusion
0x106322d4: using lasers and magnetics to generate heat-insulated compression.
0x1063232c: It was a top secret project initiated by the current President...
0x10632380: and Solidus has no idea of its existence.
0x106323bc: The clean thermonuclear bomb is at an experimental stage
0x10632408: and is handled differently.
0x10632434: Specifically, it becomes launch-capable when Arsenal is activated.
0x1063248c: A nuclear threat still exists.
0x106324bc: Six months ago, we lost everything we believed in...
0x10632504: We were abandoned to take the fall in their cover up.
0x1063254c: We were labeled as killers responsible for the mass-murder of
civilians
0x106325a8: as well as our own allies.
0x106325e4: believed every word,
0x1063260c: turning a deaf ear to whatever we had to say to the contrary.
0x1063265c: Our only goal is to wipe them from the face of the earth --
0x106326ac: and destroy this world of deceit they have created along with
them.
0x10632704: You're insane.
0x10632724: Insane?
0x1063273c: We might be the only ones telling the truth...

0x11a74a84: I remembered my brother giving me a piggyback ride...
0x11a74acc: I was sleeping with my ear against his back...
0x11a74b0c: I could hear his heartbeat...
0x11a74b3c: Sounds like you were close.
0x11a74b68: We were... back then.
0x11a74b90: We were stepchildren in our parent's second marriages.
0x11a74bd8: Wherever my brother went, I used to tag along...
0x11a74c1c: My brother didn't have any close friends,
0x11a74c58: so he used to take care of me.
0x11a74c88: We both wanted to be loved so much...
0x11a74cc0: so much that we used to pretend...
0x11a74cf4: Pretend?
0x11a74d44: My brother was the husband and I was the wife.
0x11a74d84: But it was always just make believe... we were only kids.
0x11a74dd0: You know what I mean?
0x11a74df8: I never had a family... but I think I know what you mean.

0x1291b974: I'm reading an abnormal impulse cascade throughout the neural
network.
0x1291b9d0: I can't shut it down!
0x1291b9f8: What happened!
0x1291ba18: Maybe -- some kind of virus --
0x1291ba48: The Patriots!?
0x1291ba68: I don't know!
0x1291ba88: Ocelot! What have you been up to!
0x1291babc: It's too late!
0x1291badc: Arsenal's system control is going haywire!
0x1291bb1c: ...It's on an emergency ascent course!

0x12f739d4: They were planning to extend their control to digital information
flow
0x12f73a30: with GW and Arsenal.
0x12f73a58: That means the information they want to filter out is contained in
GW.
0x12f73ab4: Including that list of the highest twelve members
0x12f73af8: of the Patriots' Wisemen's Committee.
0x12f73b30: And once you knew who they were,
0x12f73b64: you would cross out their name one by one...
0x12f73ba4: ...while we, with our useless Arsenal, drew their fire.
0x12f73bf0: Very good.
0x12f73c0c: You were using us all along.
0x12f73c3c: Were you any different?
0x12f73c64: But your plan's hit a snag with GW destroyed, hasn't it?

0x13b5faf4: I claimed you for my own,
0x13b5fb20: and raised you as a soldier in the army of the Devil.
0x13b5fb68: I am your foster father, and your worst enemy.
0x13b5fbc0: Because I needed to know whether we were really someone else's
creation.
0x13b5fc1c: We're repeating history, Jack.
0x13b5fc4c: Liquid and Solid hunted down Big Boss,
0x13b5fc84: trying to sever the tie that bound them to him.
0x13b5fcc8: Unless you kill me and face your past, Jack,
0x13b5fd08: you will never escape.
0x13b5fd30: You'll stay in the endless loop -- your own double helix.

0x144b59e4: I was a part of the Army's Force XXI trials...
0x144b5a28: Force XXI? That's about tactical IT deployment, right?
0x144b5a74: Any field experience?
0x144b5a9c: No -- not really.
0x144b5ac0: So this is your first.
0x144b5ae8: I've had extensive training --
0x144b5b18: the kind that's indistinguishable from the real thing.
0x144b5b64: Like what?
0x144b5b80: Sneaking mission 60,
0x144b5ba8: Weapons 80,
0x144b5be0: VR, huh.
0x144b5bfc: But realistic in every way.
0x144b5c28: A virtual grunt of the digital age. That's just great.
0x144b5c74: That's far more effective than live exercises.
0x144b5cb8: You don't get injured in VR, do you?
0x144b5cf0: Every year, a few soldiers die in field exercises.
0x144b5d38: There's pain sensation in VR, and even a sense of reality and
urgency.
0x144b5d94: The only difference is that it isn't actually happening.
0x144b5de0: That's the way they want you to think,
0x144b5e18: to remove you from the fear that goes with battle situations.
0x144b5e68: War as a video game --
0x144b5e90: what better way to raise the ultimate soldier?

0x155cbaa4: You mean the incident that made this Big Shell necessary in the
first place.
0x155cbb04: Right. And he was the one that sank that tanker.
0x155cbb48: But he's a Legend --
0x155cbb70: Legends are usually bad news.
0x155cbba0: There's not a lot of difference between heroes and madmen...
0x155cbbf0: You're saying Snake is still alive and pulled another one?
0x155cbc3c: No, he's not involved in this one.
0x155cbc70: His body was positively ID'd two years ago.
0x155cbcb0: Snake is dead...
0x155cbcd4: And buried.

0x15e6dc84: What about the other soldiers?
0x15e6dcb4: I saw Russian equipment too.
0x15e6dce4: Former Soviet military. They're probably mercenaries.
0x15e6dd2c: The Big Shell is too much ground for just Dead Cell members to
hold down.
0x15e6dd88: You weren't briefed on any of this?
0x15e6ddbc: ...and you came in alone to boot?
0x15e6de1c: What are you really doing here?

0x1667ca94: Normally, team leaders stay in the CP (Command Post)
0x1667cadc: and give orders with those headphones.
0x1667cb14: And as far as I know, SEALs keep their officers away from the
field.
0x1667cb84: is a motto of the British Special Air Service.
0x1667cbc8: Is he one of the terrorists then?
0x1667cbfc: No, somehow I don't think so.
0x1667cc2c: If there's someone to suspect, I'd put my money on you.

0x16ddaa14: You saw it too, I believe.
0x16ddaa40: The Navy man with half a handcuff.
0x16ddaa74: The other half of it is on the football, or the Black Case if you
like.
0x16ddaad0: The nuclear button.
0x16ddaaf4: And now they have it.

0x17277294: And this is what they plan to do right over Manhattan.
0x172772dc: The New York Stock Exchange...
0x1727730c: -- will suffer the same fate.
0x1727733c: If one of the key movers of world economy stops functioning,
0x1727738c: it could mean the beginning of a global depression.
0x172773d4: Black Monday will look like a picnic in comparison.

0x178028f4: At the time, the DARPA Chief, Donald Anderson --
0x17802938: together with certain influential parties --
0x17802978: initiated the development of Metal Gear REX
0x178029b8: and an advanced nuclear warhead.
0x178029ec: However, this did not fall in line with the Patriots' plans.
0x17802a3c: What's more, Solidus decided on his own to send his most trusted
man,
0x17802a94: Ocelot, to provoke Liquid Snake, bringing about the said incident.
0x17802aec: As a result, he succeeded in obtaining REX and the data on the
warhead.
0x17802b48: But in doing so, he ended up revealing the existence...
0x17802b94: of both REX and the Genome army --
0x17802bc8: a blunder that earned him the wrath of the Patriots.
0x17802c10: Shortly thereafter, Solidus was removed from the Presidential
Office.

0x185ff3d4: I'd infiltrated the dummy tanker to obtain proof that a Metal Gear
0x185ff42c: was under development.
0x185ff454: Shortly after I made it aboard,
0x185ff484: an armed group led by Colonel Gurlukovich
0x185ff4c0: raided the ship and gained control.
0x185ff4f4: Olga and Ocelot were among the raiding party.
0x185ff534: Yeah. And him...
0x185ff558: Who're you talking about?
0x185ff584: A man that was supposed to be dead.
0x185ff5b8: Their target was also Metal Gear RAY.
0x185ff5f0: But Ocelot eliminated Colonel Gurlukovich
0x185ff62c: and Marine Commander Scott Dolph -- and he hijacked RAY.
0x185ff678: So he betrayed them?
0x185ff6a0: I don't know what kind of deal was going down.
0x185ff6e0: All I remember is what Ocelot said at the time --
0x185ff75c: Ocelot then sank the tanker along with the soldiers of the Marine
Corps...

0x19408384: Photos of Snake -- taken by the Cypher -- were released to the
public.
0x194083dc: In turn, we became the world's most wanted environmental
terrorists...
0x19408438: It was definitely a move
0x19408464: aimed at putting a stop to our anti-Metal Gear activities.
0x194084b0: But why did they choose Snake?
0x194084e0: Since the Shadow Moses incident, Snake became sort of a hero.
0x19408530: I think the Patriots weren't too happy about that.
0x19408574: You knew about the Patriots!?
0x194085a4: Well yes... to a certain degree.
0x194085d8: It seems like everyone knows about them except me.
0x1940861c: They didn't choose Snake to be a hero...
0x19408658: So they decided to do a smear campaign.
0x19408694: I think the Patriots wanted to make an example of him
0x194086dc: so everybody would think twice before opposing them.
0x19408724: That's it! They set all this up just to nail you guys?
0x19408770: No. There's more to it than that --
0x194087a4: the Marines' Metal Gear RAY project headed by Commander Dolph
0x194087f4: was carried out in opposition to the Navy's Arsenal Gear project.
0x19408848: To be more precise,
0x19408870: the Patriots considered Metal Gear RAY to be a thorn in their side.
0x194088c8: Hence, they attacked the dummy tanker and stole RAY...
0x19408910: They followed this up with the perfect plan.
0x19408950: They immediately sent a fully loaded tanker to the same location
and sank it,
0x194089b0: then set up the facility to camouflage the development of Arsenal
Gear.
0x19408a0c: And we fell for it -- two more puppets in their show.
0x19408a54: Colonel Gurlukovich... and his daughter, Olga?
0x19408a94: Both fell victim to Ocelot's plot.
0x19408ac8: Was Solidus behind all this? He used Ocelot to get hold of RAY,
huh?
0x19408b20: No. He was underground, keeping a low profile at the time.

0x1b385c84: Then it must be the Patriots...
0x1b385cb4: If that's the case, what's Ocelot doing alongside Solidus?
0x1b54ba46: aJHja
0x1b5f51d4: I can't swim!
0x1b5f51f4: You can do it!
0x1b5f5214: I can't...
0x1b5f5230: C'mon! Deep down inside, you know you can swim!
0x1b5f5274: I can't keep my eyes open in the water...
0x1b5f52b0: that endless blue...
0x1b5f52d8: The water... it wants me... it won't let me go...
0x1b5f531c: Alright, then close your eyes.
0x1b5f534c: I'll guide you.
0x1b5f536c: I... I was injected with something!
0x1b5f53a4: Um... my legs!
0x1b5f53c4: I have trouble moving them!
0x1b5f53f0: Listen, Emma. Just hold your breath...
0x1b5f5428: I'll do the rest.

0x1bf316d4: The President...
0x1bf316f8: ...he's dead.
0x1bf31718: What...?
0x1bf31734: You actually wrote this virus?
0x1bf31764: It's not really a virus...
0x1bf31790: it's more like a worm cluster.
0x1bf317c0: It's actually a delayed-effect autonomous program that's designed
0x1bf31814: to invade GW's cerebrum and render its nerve connections useless.
0x1bf31868: You know what GW is?
0x1bf31890: Of course... I created it.
0x1bf318d0: You look surprised.
0x1bf318f4: Uh... Well...
0x1bf31914: Cat got your tongue?
0x1bf3193c: I'm sorry, I...
0x1bf31974: ? Ever heard of 'em?
0x1bf3199c: Yes. But I only know what I've been told.
0x1bf319d8: Can you tell me what you know?
0x1bf31a08: Uh, sure.
0x1bf31a24: But it's hard to put into words.
0x1bf31a58: Right...

0x1cd8c2d4: Do you remember the panic that gripped the computer industry
0x1cd8c324: prior to the end of the century?
0x1cd8c358: You mean the Y2K problem?
0x1cd8c384: That's right.
0x1cd8c3a4: If you recall,
0x1cd8c3c4: our government supplied the world with a countermeasure program --
0x1cd8c41c: using the internet at full capacity.
0x1cd8c454: The program was distributed to every governmental organization...
0x1cd8c4a8: every key facility... throughout the world.
0x1cd8c4e8: In addition, the same program was included in an OS application
0x1cd8c53c: for distribution among the public.

0x1d60d364: I'm always the survivor...
0x1d60d390: ...Why, Wolf?

0x1d987ce4: Is he still alive?
0x1d987d08: He was when Olga brought him in.
0x1d987d3c: I've checked everything including the Genome data,
0x1d987d84: but there's nothing on this guy.
0x1d987db8: NSA, CIA, FBI...
0x1d987ddc: He doesn't exist in any database.
0x1d987e10: He's a nonexistent operative from a nonexistent organization.
0x1d987e60: I suspected as much. However, I know this man...
0x1d987eb8: Wake him up.

0x1e34fa54: The eighties...
0x1e34fa74: ...the civil war.
0x1e34fa98: You were one of the best among the child soldiers
0x1e34fadc: that fought in that conflict.
0x1e34fb0c: When you were barely ten years old,
0x1e34fb88: At the time, your outstanding kill record earned you several
nicknames
0x1e34fc24: Jack...
0x1e34fc3c: I was your godfather, I named you.
0x1e34fc70: When the war ended, you disappeared from the relief center.
0x1e34fcc0: I wondered what happened to you...
0x1e34fcf4: I should've known they would recruit you.

0x1eef62b4: Two years ago, they were responsible for getting us
0x1eef62fc: out of the sinking tanker alive...
0x1eef6330: So you were partners since the incident?
0x1eef636c: No. I only found out the truth shortly before this.
0x1eef63cc: When I confronted him here...
0x1eef63fc: You fought with Snake!? When?
0x1eef642c: Well... it was around the time you were holding hands with that
girl.
0x1eef6484: Snake...

0x1f6e4114: Ames and the President's deaths --
0x1f6e4168: the computer virus that mimics FOXDIE.
0x1f6e41a0: Did you really think they were all a coincidence?
0x1f6e41e4: Ames' own nanomachines were used to shut down his pacemaker.
0x1f6e4234: I arranged for the appearance of the Ninja as well.
0x1f6e427c: As for the President --
0x1f6e42a4: although Johnson realized what was going on,
0x1f6e42e4: he played out his allotted part.
0x1f6e4318: As for the computer virus, it's a digital counterpart of FOXDIE.
0x1f6e436c: It was also designed to eliminate every scrap
0x1f6e43ac: of information regarding the Patriots from GW.
0x1f6e43ec: Your plan was invalidated even before execution, Solidus.
0x1f6e4438: Fatman was a different story.
0x1f6e4468: He's one of our own people,
0x1f6e4494: a sort of examiner we hired to test the boy's progress
0x1f6e44dc: before letting him tackle the exercise proper.
0x1f6e451c: We had to arrange for Stillman's presence
0x1f6e4558: to coax the maniac into agreeing.
0x1f6e458c: If the boy had allowed the Big Shell to be destroyed,
0x1f6e45d4: this exercise would have ended there.
0x1f6e460c: The project has no room for failures.
0x1f6e4644: What do you mean!?
0x1f6e4668: Given the right situation, the right story,
0x1f6e46a8: anyone can be shaped into Snake.
0x1f6e46dc: Even rookies can fight like men of experience.
0x1f6e471c: An instant creation of genius --
0x1f6e4750: and this training kernel
0x1f6e477c: will provide more than enough data to formulate such a program.
0x1f6e47d0: You, Dead Cell, Olga --
0x1f6e47f8: you're all nothing but pawns placed to create the perfect
simulation.

0x21c9dc04: Do you know why no bullet could hit you?
0x21c9dc40: It wasn't magic or some New Age mumbo-jumbo.
0x21c9dc80: Certainly wasn't your psychic talents.
0x21c9dcb8: It was all staged by the Patriots.
0x21c9dcec: Staged?
0x21c9dd04: You were being shielded by the electromagnetic weapons technology
0x21c9dd58: that the Patriots developed.
0x21c9dd88: Your Dead Cell comrades loved your father and husband --
0x21c9ddd4: we needed a pathetic wretch like you
0x21c9de0c: to keep them focused.
0x21c9de34: You've been our puppet all along -- just like Olga.
0x21c9de90: You were hamming it up as the tragic heroine
0x21c9ded0: thanks to the script that the Patriots wrote for you.
0x21c9df18: Pure self-indulgence --
0x21c9df74: you couldn't get enough of the drama.
0x21c9dfac: ...I could have died whenever I wanted to...

0x22f47a14: I've been inside this arm all along, waiting for the right time to
awaken.
0x22f47a74: You were inside Ocelot?
0x22f47a9c: Yes -- a sleeper in the arm of a Patriots' spy.
0x22f47ae0: It was you two years ago!?
0x22f47b0c: Exactly. I was controlling him.
0x22f47b40: Snake, it was I that leaked information about Arsenal to your
partner
0x22f47b98: and got you out here.
0x22f47bd8: You're the only one that can free me, after all...

0x23a13a14: That's right.
0x23a13a34: George Washington took office as the first president
0x23a13a7c: of the United States of America 200 years ago today.
0x23a13ac4: And it happened right here.
0x23a13af0: We were going to declare another independence --
0x23a13b34: the dawn of a new nation -- here.
0x23a13b68: The end of the Patriots' secret rule, liberation of this country
--
0x23a13bc0: this was where it was supposed to begin,
0x23a13bfc: this is where freedom could have been born.

0x2442c4c4: The data of life is transferred from parent to child.
0x2442c50c: That's how it works.
0x2442c534: But we have no heirs, no legacy.
0x2442c5ac: cloned from our father
0x2442c5d4: with the ability to reproduce conveniently engineered out.
0x2442c624: What is our legacy if we cannot pass the torch?
0x2442c668: Proof of our existence -- a mark of some sort --
0x2442c6ac: When the torch is passed on from parent to child...
0x2442c6f4: It extends beyond DNA, information is imparted as well.

0x25141ae4: The S3 is a system for controlling human will and consciousness.
0x25141b38: S3 is not you, a soldier trained in the image of Solid Snake.
0x25141b88: It is -- a method, a protocol,
0x25141bb8: that created a circumstance that made you what you are.
0x25141c04: So you see, we're the S3.
0x25141c30: Not you.

0x25ab4404: We used Shadow Moses as a paradigm for the exercise.
0x25ab444c: I wonder if you would have preferred a fantasy setting?
0x25ab4498: We chose that backdrop because of its extreme circumstances.
0x25ab44e8: It was an optimal test for S3's crisis management capacity.
0x25ab4538: If the model could trigger, control and solve this,
0x25ab4580: it would be ready for any contingency.
0x25ab45b8: And now, we have our proof.

0x263ad914: There's no such thing in the world as absolute reality.
0x263ad960: Most of what they call real is actually fiction.
0x263ad9a4: What you think you see is only as real as your brain tells you it
is.
0x263ada14: what am I supposed to believe in?
0x263ada48: What am I going to leave behind when I'm through?
0x263ada8c: We can tell other people about -- having faith.
0x263adad0: What we had faith in.
0x263adaf8: What we found important enough to fight for.
0x263adb38: It's not whether you were right or wrong,
0x263adb74: but how much faith you were willing to have, that decides the
future.
0x263adbd0: The Patriots are a kind of ongoing fiction too, come to think of
it....
0x263adc40: Listen,
0x263adc5c: don't obsess over words so much.
0x263adc90: Find the meaning behind the words, then decide.
0x263adcd4: You can find your own name.
0x263add00: And your own future...
0x263add28: Decide for myself...?
0x263add50: And whatever you choose will be you.
0x263add88: I don't know if I can...
0x263addb4: I know you didn't have much in terms of choices this time.
0x263ade00: But everything you felt, thought about during this mission is
yours.
0x263ade58: And what you decide to do with them is your choice...
0x263adea0: You mean start over?
0x263adec8: Yeah, a clean slate. A new name, new memories.
0x263adf20: Choose your own legacy.
0x263adf48: It's for you to decide.
0x263adf70: It's up to you.

0x27dbea24: At long last, it seems that she will go through the immigration
process.
0x27dbea80: Will Lady Liberty finally get her Green Card?

0x2823ac14: Life isn't just about passing on your genes.
0x2823ac54: We can leave behind much more than just DNA.
0x2823ac94: Through speech, music, literature and movies...
0x2823acd8: what we've seen, heard, felt
0x2823ad08: ...anger, joy and sorrow...
0x2823ad34: these are the things I will pass on.
0x2823ad6c: That's what I live for.
0x2823ad94: We need to pass the torch,
0x2823adc0: and let our children read our messy and sad history by its light.
0x2823ae14: We have all the magic of the digital age to do that with.
0x2823ae60: The human race will probably come to an end some time,
0x2823aea8: and new species may rule over this planet.
0x2823aee4: Earth may not be forever,
0x2823af10: but we still have the responsibility to leave what traces of life
we can.
0x2823af6c: Building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same
thing.

0x29b6a1b4: Do you remember this place?
0x29b6a1e0: Of course.
0x29b6a1fc: This is where we first met...
0x29b6a22c: I remember now --
0x29b6a264: Today is the day I met you.
0x29b6a290: That's it.
0x29b6a2ac: I think I found something to pass along to the future.
0x29b6a30c: He said all living things want their genes to live on.
0x29b6a354: Are you talking about the baby?
0x29b6a384: Yeah.
0x29b6a39c: But genes aren't the only thing you pass on.
0x29b6a3dc: There are too many things that aren't written into our DNA.
0x29b6a42c: It's up to us to teach that to our children.
0x29b6a46c: What kind of things?
0x29b6a494: About the environment, our ideas, our culture...
0x29b6a4d8: poetry...
0x29b6a4f4: compassion...
0x29b6a514: sorrow... joy...
0x29b6a538: We'll tell them everything... together.
0x29b6a570: Is that a -- proposal?
0x29b6a598: This is for your ears --
0x29b6a5c4: only...


II CODEC Text Dump
-------------------------

These are the codec calls. The main source of information is this.

0x90: Snake, go through that door into the ship's interior.
0xc30: Snake, wait! Don't move!
0xc4a: What?
0xc51: Look at the walls on both sides of the hall.
0xc7f: I see something -- infrared sensors!?
0xca6: I see it. Some kind of device on both sides of the hall...
0xce2: ...infrared sensors?
0xcf8: Right. And they're linked to --
0xd19: Let me guess. Semtex.
0xd30: Exactly. Plastic explosives.
0xd4e: So this is what they were talking about.
0xd78: Looks like it.
0xd88: If you trip the sensors...
0xda4: I'll be sleeping with the fishes along with this entire ship.
0xde3: That sounds about right.
0xdfd: Snake, there's another set of infrared sensors in place.
0xe37: If you touch that, the explosives will detonate and that ship will be
pulverized.
0xe8a: Hm, there aren't that many infrared beams.
0xeb6: Maybe you can get past those without setting off the explosives.
0xef8: If you need to see exactly where the beams are, you can use the usual
method.
0xf47: There's a fire extinguisher over there.
0xf70: Break it open and try scattering some of the extinguishing chemicals.
0x9880: Otacon, I took the Pentazemin and you're right -- the seasickness is
gone!
0x98cc: Wow! Really!?
0x98db: What do you mean, "Really?" You said...
0x9904: Drugs are mostly about placebo effect. If you believe it's effective,
it is.
0x9952: You're more naive than I thought.
0x997a: Ok, now infiltrate the holds and get those photographs of the new Metal
Gear. Head downstairs.
0x99da: Congrats, Snake! Looks like those pull-ups were worth it. Your grip
strength is up!
0x9a2f: Shoot out the lights to darken the corridor.
0x9a5d: The enemy will have a harder time finding you.
0x9a8d: Snake, use the flashlight in dark places like this.
0x9ac2: Your USP is equipped with a flashlight.
0x9aeb: All you have to do is select the gun and aim it with the Weapon button,
and the light will go on.
0x9b4e: Not that I need to tell you this,
0x9b71: but the light will turn you into a better target if there are enemies
nearby.
0x9bc0: Be careful.
0x9bcd: Snake, you need to get to the bridge on the top level of the
infrastructure.
0x9c1b: First, find a door that leads into the tanker's interior and infiltrate
the ship.
0x9c6e: According to intelligence,
0x9c8a: this new model was designed to combat all the clone models of Metal
Gear floating around in the world.
0x9cf2: Ocelot sold the Metal Gear specs to anyone with hard cash after he
survived Shadow Moses --
0x9d4f: And raked in enough money to buy a decent-sized country in the process.
0x9d98: But was that -- was money really Ocelot's end objective?
0x9dd2: You think he had a deeper plan?
0x9df3: I do. Nothing definite,
0x9e0c: but acquiring a large sum of money is always a good starting point for
another project.
0x9e65: Hmm...
0x9e6d: Anyway, every country that paid off Ocelot is racing to produce its own
bipedal tank --
0x9ec6: one that can launch the so-called "invisible nuclear warhead."
0x9f06: If the whole world has a Metal Gear, the military dominance of the U.S.
will disappear.
0x9f5f: In a world where Metal Gear has become commonplace,
0x9f94: the only way to regain the upper hand is to possess a weapon even more
powerful than Metal Gear.
0x9ff6: And that means a new Metal Gear.
0xa018: Exactly. The arms race must go on.
0xa03c: The Metal Gear that the tanker is transporting is being developed under
Marine Corps jurisdiction.
0xa0a0: But -- I've also heard a rumor that the Navy is working on its own
Metal Gear.
0xa0f0: Any more info on the Navy's model?
0xa114: I tried to hack some out, but security was too tight.
0xa14b: There's a lot of money being allocated -- that's for sure.
0xa187: But every one of my investigations takes me to one name, then hits a
brick wall.
0xa1d9: The name is "The Patriots."
0xa1f6: Who are they?
0xa205: I wish I knew. I have no idea if this is an individual, or an
organization, even.
0xa258: But once we expose the presence of this Marine Corps Metal Gear to the
world,
0xa2a7: maybe that will shake the "Patriots" out of the tree.
0xa2de: This mission is partly about that too.
0xa306: Snake, you need to get to the bridge on top of the superstructure.
0xa34a: Get back inside the ship and head upstairs.
0xa377: Snake, go to the bridge first and find out where this ship is headed.
0xa3be: The bridge is on the top level. Go up.
0xa3e6: There are stairs in the North block that will take you up. Head north
for now.
0xa436: When the photos are in, we'll put them online and blow this whole thing
wide open on the Web.
0xa495: Don't you think that the authorities will just shut us down?
0xa4d3: Probably. But it won't matter --
0xa4f5: there'll be mirror sites spawning within minutes after those images go
up.
0xa541: We won't even have to ask; people will be grabbing the pictures.
There's no way anyone can stop it.
0xa5a6: Information has a life of its own, and as long as it lasts, it'll keep
existing --
0xa5fa: even if it has to change its form or location.
0xa62a: Life?
0xa631: Yeah -- the desire of people to learn. The demand for data.
0xa66e: That's called idle curiosity in my book.
0xa698: Everyone's got some of that. And sometimes, it can pave the way for
truth. That's what I believe.
0xa6fb: So that's the Ka-60 Kasatka --
0xa71b: a multipurpose military helicopter built by Kamov, the Russian
aerospace firm.
0xa76b: It adapts to a variety of missions:
0xa790: troop and weapons transport, MedEvac, target marking for attack
choppers,
0xa7db: even all-weather surveillance missions.
0xa804: It uses Fenestron-type tail rotors. That's what makes the distinct
rotor sound that you picked up.
0xa868: It is a Russian helicopter, but we can't be sure that the hijackers are
Russian military.
0xa8c3: After all, Kamov did make a civilian version, the Ka-62,
0xa8fd: and there's also the Ka-64, the export model.
0xa92c: Snake, there should be a staircase down to the holds in the northwest
section of the engine room.
0xa98f: Head west.
0xa99b: The Cypher's what it looks like -- a flying surveillance saucer.
0xa9dd: It's an unmanned aerial vehicle used for ground and ocean surveillance,
0xaa26: and it also assists in communication.
0xaa4d: It can take off and land vertically,
0xaa73: and uses a ducted airstream from its rotors and the surrounding shroud
to fly.
0xaac3: The one you saw was the type used by the Army, if I recall.
0xab00: But I can't see the Army officially cooperating with a top-secret
Marine Corps project...
0xab5b: No. Which means that there's someone besides us and the Russians
0xaba1: that are interested in the new Metal Gear prototype...
0xabd9: Cyphers can stay airborne for about three hours,
0xac0b: so there should be an Integrated Mobile Ground Station controlling its
flight pattern
0xac66: and output nearby -- it's got to be on land.
0xac94: I'll bet you anything it's disguised as a regular truck or something,
0xacdb: driving along riverside. Let me check it out.
0xad0a: Good call.
0xad16: Didn't think Gurlukovich was involved, of all people.
0xad4d: Ocelot's former CO -- and a man with a private army of ex-Russian
military and GRU soldiers.
0xadab: I don't like it.
0xadbd: And Liquid was planning to team up with that bunch at Shadow Moses.
0xae02: All he managed to do back then was to provide a toy or two.
0xae3f: Looks like he's had enough of sponsoring insurrections.
0xae78: So this time, he's out here himself. I guess he's after Metal Gear?
0xaebd: History repeats itself.
0xaed6: Metal Gear has enough strategic clout to upset the balance of military
power overnight.
0xaf2f: He must be dreaming of Mother Russia's return to glory.
0xaf68: Like you said, history repeats itself. Some people never change.
0xafaa: Maybe it's the world that doesn't -- or won't -- change.
0xafe4: Maybe. But we're fighting to upset the status quo too, aren't we?
0xb027: So who was that Olga person?
0xb045: Don't know. I'm guessing she's Gurlukovich's daughter. She said
"nomads"...
0xb092: Didn't she -- you know, look a little like Meryl?
0xb0c5: ...I didn't notice.
0xb0da: Hey, Snake, you found a handgun.
0xb0fc: It's a decent one -- USP.
0xb117: That gun can take out the infrared sensors you just saw.
0xb151: The USP fires real bullets -- not the knockout rounds the M9 uses. You
know that, right?
0xb1ab: The USP isn't equipped with a suppressor, either.
0xb1de: If you fire it when there are enemies nearby, they'll probably hear it.
0xb227: Keep that in mind.
0xb23b: Having the USP will make combat easier, but being undetected is still
the best way to go. OK?
0xb29a: Snake, Metal Gear is in the holds below the tanker's deck. Go down.
0xb2df: That USP of yours should let you take out the infrared booby traps.
0xb324: There's no way into the holds except past those sensors.
0xb35e: Take out the trap and head further down.
0xb388: Snake, the Metal Gear prototype is down in the holds.
0xb3bf: That corridor wraps around the holds.
0xb3e6: There are several doors into the holds from the corridor,
0xb421: but it looks like most of them are locked.
0xb44d: But I think the farthest door isn't locked yet.
0xb47e: You can get into the holds from the door at the end of that corridor.
Head north.
0xb4d1: You can get into the holds from the door at the end of that corridor.
Head east.
0xb523: You can get into the holds from the door at the end of that corridor.
Head south.
0xb576: Snake, the Metal Gear prototype is in the holds.
0xb5a8: You took out the infrared sensor trap just now.
0xb5d9: Go through that section to reach the holds.
0xb606: Snake, you can take cover behind objects. Get down and fight back from
a safer spot!
0xb65c: Push the Action button near a scalable railing to hang off the other
side.
0xb6a8: This is called Hanging.
0xb6c1: You can use it to move around, hide, and even maneuver around an
enemy's back.
0xb711: You can move left and right while Hanging by moving the left analog
stick or using the L2 and R2 buttons.
0xb77c: When you're ready to pull yourself up, just push the Action button
again.
0xb7c7: A Grip Gauge appears below the Life Gauge during Hanging.
0xb802: The Grip Gauge indicates how tightly you are holding on,
0xb83c: and steadily decreases as long as you are in Hanging mode.
0xb878: When the Grip Gauge goes to zero, you won't be able to hold on anymore.
0xb8c1: You need to hoist yourself up before you fall off.
0xb8f5: Push the Crawl button while Hanging to jump down straight below.
0xb937: If the ground is too far below, you'll lose some LIFE.
0xb96f: In some places, you won't make it at all. Be careful of that.
0xb9ae: If it's about waist-high, you'll be able to climb up or over things
with the Action button.
0xba1f: Change to First Person View with a weapon selected.
0xba54: Once you aim your weapon with the Weapon button, you're ready to attack
in First Person View.
0xbab3: Using the First Person Attack allows you to shoot high or low;
0xbaf3: you can aim for the enemy's head or even feet.
0xbb23: The L2 and R2 buttons let you strafe during First Person Attacks.
0xbb66: You can crouch, too, with the Crawl button.
0xbb93: Once you've mastered all the moves, you'll be able to do things like
jump out from concealment,
0xbbf5: fire at a target, and then drop out of the enemy's view again.
0xbc35: You can aim the handgun with the Weapon button,
0xbc66: then lower it without firing if you let go of the button slowly.
0xbca8: It saves ammunition, and besides, it could be useful after you've
disarmed an enemy at gunpoint.
0xbd0a: Snake, if you sustain damage from enemy attacks, it could increase your
chances of capture.
0xbd67: The bloodstains would lead them right to you.
0xbd96: That's another reason you should stay away from trouble as much as
possible.
0xbde4: Snake, are you bleeding!?
0xbdff: If your Life Gauge is down to the point where it's red, the bleeding
won't stop.
0xbe51: As long as you're bleeding, your Life Gauge will keep dropping
gradually.
0xbe9c: Besides that, the bloodstains could put the enemy on your trail.
0xbede: The only way to stop the bleeding for good is to let your body recover
until the Life Gauge is green.
0xbf45: Rations are the best way to do that.
0xbf6b: Try to crouch down or assume Crawl position and stay still while you're
bleeding.
0xbfbe: Your LIFE will recover bit by bit.
0xbfe2: I'd recommend that you stay in hiding until the bleeding stops, if
possible.
0xc030: Snake, the M9's anaesthetic rounds have different effects depending on
where it hits.
0xc087: If you manage to land them on the head or the heart area, the enemy
will go down immediately.
0xc0e6: If it's hands or feet, it may take a while for the anaesthetic to take
effect.
0xc136: Try using the First Person View to aim with higher accuracy.
0xc174: Push the Crawl button as you're running to go into a tumble and a
forward roll.
0xc1c5: Make good use of it -- maybe when you need to move from cover to cover
quickly?
0xc216: If you tilt the left analog stick at a smaller angle, you'll be able to
walk more slowly and stealthily.
0xc280: Speed isn't everything. Try moving over noisy surfaces this way.
0xc2c2: Snake, don't just take out enemies and leave them there. That's a bad
idea.
0xc30f: Finding their dead friends on the ground will probably make sentries
raise an alarm.
0xc365: Once you've dealt with someone, put the body somewhere out of sight.
0xc3ab: Bodies can be moved to another location by dragging.
0xc3e1: First, make sure no weapon is selected. Then push the Weapon button
near the body to grab it.
0xc440: As long as you have a hold on the body, you'll be able to drag it.
0xc484: Let go of the Weapon button when you're done.
0xc4b3: It's a bad idea to leave enemies where they've fallen.
0xc4eb: Hide the bodies to make sure no one sees them.
0xc51b: I recommend you hide the enemy's body as soon as you've taken them
down.
0xc565: The tranquilized and unconscious enemies will wake up sooner or later.
0xc5ad: As for soldiers you've killed, the body will become too stiff to move
in a short while.
0xc61a: You can also hide the enemy's body in a locker.
0xc64b: All you have to do is open the locker and drag the body there.
0xc68b: The handgun ammunition and other live rounds have different effects
depending on where the bullet hits.
0xc6f4: If you hit the hand, the enemy won't be able to use it,
0xc72d: and a round to the leg and feet will take away their mobility.
0xc7cc: Destroy the radio on their right hip, to the back, to prevent the enemy
from calling for backup.
0xc82e: Use the First Person View when you need to aim accurately.
0xc86a: Push the L2 or R2 button while in Corner View to move your head and
take a quick look in that direction.
0xc8d4: You'll be able to see farther in Corner View, but there's a greater
chance of being discovered.
0xc949: If you have a weapon selected while in Corner View,
0xc97e: push the Weapon button to jump out of concealment and aim your weapon.
0xc9c6: You can use this while you're standing or crouching. It should help
during gunfights.
0xca1d: Move the right analog stick while in Corner View to look in that
direction.
0xca6a: The difference between this and using L2 and R2 buttons
0xcaa3: is that you won't be exposing yourself to possible enemy fire.
0xcae3: At the same time, because you are staying in the same position,
0xcb24: your range of vision is more limited.
0xcb4b: Snake, in some locations, the lighting makes your shadow longer and
more noticeable.
0xcba1: The enemy might spot your shadow, so you'll want to watch out.
0xcbe1: Turns and corners are especially dangerous.
0xcc0e: But the same holds for the enemy. If you spot someone's shadow ahead,
you can avoid unnecessary risks.
0xcc76: Don't break things if you can help it. Any sign of infiltration will
put the enemy on a lookout.
0xccd8: Exercise caution.
0xcceb: Even if you've successfully thrown the enemy off your trail,
0xcd29: don't ever relax your guard once you've been spotted.
0xcd60: They'll be looking for you, and security will be tighter.
0xcd9b: Don't underestimate what you're up against.
0xcdc8: These aren't sentries you're dealing with;
0xcdf4: they're searching for you, and they know you don't want to be found.
0xce3a: You can't make some feeble attempt at concealment.
0xce6e: Make sure you're completely hidden in some place they wouldn't think of
searching.
0xcec2: If you're spotted and it comes down to an exchange of gunfire,
0xcf02: don't stand out in the open. Find cover ASAP.
0xcf31: Strafe and stretch up from your concealed position to get a good shot
on target
0xcf82: while in First Person View.
0xcf9f: But if they come at you in droves, even you won't be able to fend them
off.
0xcfec: You need to avoid discovery at all costs.
0xd017: As soon as you're spotted by an enemy soldier, he'll call for backup on
his radio.
0xd06b: The search party that's going to show up as a result is a tough bunch.
0xd0b3: For one thing, they have better equipment, like body armor.
0xd0f0: But the main thing is that they're highly trained in search-and-
destroy types of activities.
0xd14f: They'll come as a team and attack as a team. Don't try to take them
straight on.
0xd1a1: If you're spotted, you need to stop the sentry from calling for backup.
0xd1ea: Take him down before he has the chance to use the radio.
0xd224: You can also break out the chaff grenade and interfere with the message
transmission
0xd27a: to prevent any alerts from being issued.
0xd2a4: If you take out the radio, the sentry will have no way of calling for
help.
0xd2f1: Radios are worn behind the right hip. You should be able to target it
in First Person View.
0xd34e: If he does manage to call for backup, get yourself in deep hiding
before they arrive.
0xd3a5: The reinforcements are all wearing body armor.
0xd3d5: It'll take several shots before the rounds do any damage to the
protected regions of the body.
0xd435: But only a single head shot is needed. Aim well while attacking in
First Person View.
0xd48c: You'll be less likely to be spotted in the dark.
0xd4be: But this won't work during a Clearing, so I recommend you try something
else.
0xd50d: Select the magazine and throw it using the Weapon button.
0xd548: The noise will draw enemy soldiers toward wherever the magazine lands.
0xd590: How strong you push the button determines how large a swing you take.
0xd5d7: Take aim using First Person View and try to land it where it will lure
the enemy away.
0xd62f: You can hold someone at gunpoint by getting behind his back with your
gun ready.
0xd681: What you choose to do with a hostage making no resistance after that is
up to you.
0xd6d5: When you need to arm yourself with a weapon, hold down on the R2 button
to enter the Weapon mode.
0xd738: You see those weapon icons?
0xd755: Select the one you want by moving the left analog stick up and down...
0xd79d: and matching up the icon to the lower right spot.
0xd7d0: Then let go of the R2 button to arm yourself with the weapon.
0xd80f: If you need to know the finer points of using each of the weapons,
0xd853: just take a look at the guidance window.
0xd87d: If it's items like rations that you need to select,
0xd8b2: just follow the same procedure, but with the L2 button.
0xd8eb: Snake, when I have something urgent to tell you, I'll raise you on the
Codec.
0xd93a: When you see the CALL sign, hit the SELECT button to receive, all
right?
0xd984: As long as you have no weapons selected,
0xd9ae: you can throw an enemy with the Weapon button and the left analog
stick.
0xd9f8: Just get in close and hit these controls at the same time.
0xda34: They'll be down on the ground afterwards, and you may even able to
knock them unconscious.
0xda90: The other attack option when you're unarmed is the chokehold.
0xdacf: Move in close to the enemy from behind and push the Weapon button
0xdb12: without moving the left analog stick.
0xdb39: Hit the Weapon button repeatedly to break the enemy's neck.
0xdb76: Keep it pushed down if you want to move around and drag him away with
you.
0xdbc2: Remember, you can only do this from the back.
0xdbf1: You can't perform a chokehold while facing someone. Be careful.
0xdc32: Move the left analog stick in the direction of a wall and keep it there
to flatten yourself against the wall.
0xdca1: Push the Punch button while in that position to knock on the wall and
create a diversion.
0xdcfc: If you plan carefully, you'll be able to lure sentries away from their
posts.
0xdd4b: When you're flattened against a surface behind a corner, you're in
Corner View.
0xdd9c: You'll be able to survey the area without exposing yourself.
0xddda: The Corner View lets you take a look ahead with the L2 and R2 buttons,
0xde22: or you can jump out with your weapon ready.
0xde4f: Take advantage of all the action.
0xde72: Use Crawl to get under desks and other objects.
0xdea3: Once you're in enclosed space, you'll be in Intrusion View.
0xdee0: In Intrusion View, you move forward with the left analog stick Up, back
with Down,
0xdf34: and left or right with the corresponding directions.
0xdf6a: Use the First Person View button to take a look around or aim with
precision.
0xdfb9: But if someone catches sight of you while you hide, you could be
attacked.
0xe005: It's no guarantee against a Clearing either.
0xe033: Entering Intrusion state doesn't mean you're absolutely safe. Keep that
in mind.
0xe085: Whenever you see an Item Box, you should acquire it.
0xe0bb: Take a closer look to see what the Item is.
0xe0e8: When you take out an enemy, move his body out of the way and check for
an Item Box.
0xe13d: Don't leave it behind.
0xe155: Snake, don't let the enemy spot you.
0xe17b: Once you've been discovered by a sentry, he'll call in reinforcements
and there will be an attack.
0xe1df: Even you're no match for that level of organized assault.
0xe21a: They have better weapons too, remember?
0xe243: We aren't terrorists, okay?
0xe260: Avoid unnecessary confrontations and go for total stealth. All right?
0xe2a7: What you're wielding right now is a converted Beretta M-92F, designed
to fire tranquilizer rounds.
0xe30b: A direct hit will knock the target unconscious.
0xe33c: Think of those rounds as tiny syringes.
0xe365: The impact of the round causes the mixing of two chemicals in the
shell.
0xe3af: The resulting gas compresses a tiny piston
0xe3df: and injects the tranquilizer in the bullet's tip into the target's
skin.
0xe429: The tranquilizer's effects are felt at different times depending on
where the bullet lands.
0xe486: A head or heart shot will take effect immediately,
0xe4ba: but a round that hits somewhere like feet or hands will take a while.
0xe501: Use the First Person View Attack for maximum accuracy.
0xe539: The gun is fitted with a suppressor, so there is no need to worry about
alerting the enemy with the noise.
0xe5a5: But since it is a tranquilizer gun, the M9 has its limitations.
0xe5e6: All it can do is knock the enemy unconscious. Keep that in mind.
0xe628: Snake, that handgun of yours is a USP.
0xe650: The USP comes in a variety of calibers, from a 9mm to a .45.
0xe68e: Yours is a 9mm, with 15 rounds per magazine.
0xe6bc: It's also equipped with a flashlight for nighttime shooting.
0xe6fa: In the dark, select the USP and aim to turn on the light.
0xe735: Unlike the M9, the USP isn't suppressor-equipped.
0xe768: The gunshots may bring enemy reinforcements running, so be careful.
0xe7ad: Hey, you have a chaff grenade.
0xe7cd: You can use that to interfere with enemy radio communications...
0xe80f: and electronic devices for a short time.
0xe839: The chaff grenade is a weapon that disperses aluminum foil or
metalcoated glass
0xe88a: and plastic fibers to confuse the enemy radar.
0xe8ba: What you have is a portable application of the chaff- launchers
0xe8fb: built into fighter planes.
0xe917: When detonated, the grenade releases tiny chaff pieces
0xe94f: as well as miniaturized active jammers using a small amount of
explosives.
0xe99b: The grenade can't create full-scale chaff corridors or chaff clouds,
0xe9e1: but will form a Radar Cross Section area large enough for
single-personnel use.
0xea32: This weapon is for electronic interference only, though.
0xea6c: It has no effect on enemy personnel.
0xea92: The stun grenade in your equipment is for incapacitating enemies
without killing them.
0xeaea: Stun grenades are non-lethal weapons that knock out enemy personnel
0xeb2f: with an intense flash of light and a burst of sound.
0xeb65: Once the grenade is airborne, a timed detonator ejects an internal
cartridge
0xebb7: using a small amount of explosives.
0xebdc: The cartridge then explodes, and releases a flash rated at over a
million candlepower,
0xec34: with an accompanying bang of over 200 decibels.
0xec65: The combinations of the flash and the bang temporarily overwhelms human
sensory perceptions.
0xecc3: There are no projectiles released, so it can only knock out enemies,
not wound them. Keep that in mind.
0xed2c: Snake, you have an empty magazine in your hand. Why are you still
carrying that around?
0xed85: Good, you have a pair of binoculars. You'll be able to use them to
survey enemy territory from a distance.
0xedf1: They come with a zoom function and auto-focus, and have all the
durability of military equipment.
0xee54: You won't have to worry about breakage with these.
0xee88: So you've got rations now. These are military food supplies,
0xeec6: and allow you to recover some LIFE with use.
0xeef4: If it is equipped in advance,
0xef13: the ration will automatically be used and LIFE will be regained when
you receive damage.
0xef6d: You can select it in the window and push the confirmation button to use
the item on the spot.
0xefcc: Rations were designed to be carried and eaten on the field.
0xf009: They're all about functionality and calories.
0xf038: They use a special freeze-drying methods developed by NROC.
0xf075: They're compact, portable, and last for weeks.
0xf0a5: You've picked up gel bandages, I see.
0xf0cc: When you're bleeding, select the bandage as an equipment to stop the
blood.
0xf119: The bandage is a type of alginate dressing.
0xf146: It's a highly absorbent pad that gels blood and other fluids on
contact.
0xf190: It releases calcium ions during absorption, hence the coagulating
effect.
0xf1db: Snake, are you smoking? You really should quit.
0xf20c: First of all, it turns you into an instant target in the dark.
0xf24c: As for what it means to your health, I won't even go there.
0xf289: Remember what Naomi said about lung cancer rates?
0xf2bc: Everyone knows that it's a dangerous substance.
0xf2ed: So's war, and I've done that all my life.
0xf318: Well, you can screw up your own body if you like, but think about other
people, okay?
0xf36f: This is the new kind that has almost no second-hand smoke. It won't
bother anyone.
0xf3c3: Oh really? Didn't I see you toss the butt off the bridge? Littering,
polluting...
0xf416: Ummm...
0xf41f: You have a long way to go, my friend.
0xf446: You have Pentazemin in your inventory.
0xf46e: If you need to take some, select it in the Item Window and push the
Enter button.
0xf4c1: Pentazemin is a mild tranquilizer used to treat clinical depression,
0xf507: obsessive-compulsive behavior, and anxiety.
0xf534: It belongs to the benzodiazepinate family,
0xf560: and along with its antidepressant and anti-anxiety qualities, it
suppresses convulsions.
0xf5ba: Take it when you have a tough shot ahead with the sniper rifle and you
need to minimize shakiness.
0xf61e: But I guess you don't have one of those yet.
0xf64c: Well... you can also try some if you're feeling really seasick.
0xf68d: Using the old cardboard box trick, huh? Looks good on you, Snake.
0xf6d0: Camouflage is the best way to slip past enemy surveillance.
0xf70d: But cardboard is just paper when it comes down to it.
0xf744: It won't withstand any serious assault for long.
0xf776: Don't rely on the trick too many times, either. And I recommend you
keep it dry.
0xf7c8: Aim the gun and push the L1 button to automatically lock onto the
target.
0xf813: You can use this feature from First Person View or from Top View as
well.
0xf85e: There's something about that soldier who was standing outside the
infrastructure.
0xf8b1: I think you should check it out -- use the hatch on the port side of
the infrastructure
0xf90a: to get out onto the navigational deck.
0xf932: That's where you need to go.
0xf950: I don't think they're going to let you into the hold so easily.
0xf991: I'll have to stand my ground and fight. I can try a Jump-out shot from
Corner View.
0xf9e6: Good idea.
0xf9f2: If you go with Jump-out shots, you can wait behind cover for the right
time to get in a shot.
0xfa51: Select your gun and flatten yourself against an object, then switch to
Corner View.
0xfaa6: Hit the Attack button to pop out and catch the enemy off guard.
0xfae7: Let go of the Attack button to get back behind cover.
0xfb1e: Wait for a lull in the enemy fire to strike.
0xfb4c: Snake, what if you run out of ammunition during an exchange of fire?
0xfb92: Leaves you suddenly vulnerable, doesn't it?
0xfbbf: That wouldn't happen with Tactical Reload.
0xfbeb: So change the magazine before it becomes empty.
0xfc1c: That way, you would never run out when you're actually facing the
enemy.
0xfc66: Exactly.
0xfc70: To perform a Tactical Reload, unequip the gun, then equip it again.
0xfcb5: The gun should now be loaded with a fresh magazine.
0xfcea: Use the quick change button -- the R2 button -- for this one.
0xfd29: Snake, they've got grenades. If you see an incoming one, just get the
hell out of there.
0xfd83: Snake, the enemy's serious about not letting you through.
0xfdbe: You have no choice but to take all of them out. Start firing.
0xfdfd: After pushing the Crawl button in Hanging mode and falling,
0xfe3a: If you see a good handhold, try pushing the Action button.
0xfe76: If you hit it just right, you should be able to grab on.
0xfeb0: It won't matter if your direction if off a little bit. Experiment with
it.
0xfefc: When you're springing up from Hanging mode with the Action button,
0xff40: you can use the momentum to knee someone.
0xff6b: If you see an enemy walking near the railings, give it a try.
0xffaa: Select the grenade when you take a peek.
0xffd4: You can then use the Weapon button to throw the grenade while taking
cover behind objects.
0x10030: If you get lucky, you could seize an item from someone after you hold
them up.
0x10080: There are some items you can only acquire from holdups. If you've got
the time, try it out.
0x100dd: I see you have the grenade equipped.
0x10103: It's an anti-personnel frag grenade -- throw it at the enemy
0x10141: and the blast and fragments will take the enemy out.
0x10177: Watch out -- pushing the Weapon button will pull out the pin.
0x101b6: Release the Weapon button to toss it.
0x101dd: The throwing distance depends on how hard you push the Weapon button.
0x10224: After pulling the pin, you'll have five seconds until the grenade
explodes.
0x10271: Get familiar with changing the timing and throwing distance of the
grenade before it goes off.
0x102d1: You have the Thermal Goggles equipped huh?
0x102fd: They provide night vision by using variances in heat distribution to
create an image.
0x10354: It uses a two dimensional solid state projection system to create
high-res images
0x103a7: at sixty fps in real-time.
0x103c3: By using the Thermal Goggles, you can take a look at the enemy's neck
to see if they have dog tags or not.
0x1042f: You're using the Anti-personnel Sensor, I see.
0x1045f: It measures the electromagnetic fields and heartbeat of life forms
0x104a7: and converts the data into vibrations.
0x104cf: If an enemy draws near, it will vibrate.
0x104f9: The stronger the vibration, the closer the enemy is.
0x1052f: But, remember, when using the Anti-personnel Sensor,
0x10565: you'll only be able to feel the vibrations coming from the sensor.
0x105a9: I'll explain how to use the camera.
0x105ce: That digital camera you have was specially made to take pictures of
the prototype Metal Gear.
0x1062d: When a picture is taken, the screen data is first stored in the
camera's internal memory.
0x10688: Then it's automatically processed through various algorithms to
protect against tampering.
0x106e4: Each picture is electronically stamped and distinctively encrypted.
0x10729: So, in the off chance that someone alters the data during
transmission, we'll know immediately.
0x1078a: Oh -- there's a limit to the internal memory's capacity.
0x107c4: If the memory becomes full, overwrite the pictures you don't need
anymore.
0x10810: When you're ready to take a shot, use the L1 and R1 buttons to scroll
left or right
0x10869: among the picture previews at the bottom of the screen.
0x108a2: Send the pictures to me when you're done.
0x108cd: Press the Action button when you're in front of the workstation
southeast from there,
0x10924: and the pictures will be sent to me.
0x1094a: Get some good shots!
0x192d0: Snake, it looks like that door can't be opened from the deck.
0x1930f: You can infiltrate the ship through other doors.
0x499a7: Push the Action button down in front of the door and wait until the
door opens before letting go.
0x49a0a: If you need to open the door faster, hit the Action button repeatedly
while you turn the handle.
0x49a6c: Make sure you keep doing it until the door is open.
0x596c0: I see a lifeboat. That's a fully enclosed, fire-resistant model,
equipped with its own oxygen pump.
0x59725: Those have a water-based cooling system and self-contained air supply
on board.
0x59776: This means that even if the boat is sealed,
0x597a3: there would still be air available for the crew and engine operation.
0x597ea: It automatically rights itself if it's overturned,
0x5981e: and can withstand contact with fire for a significant period of time.
0x59865: But you won't be able to use that lifeboat.
0x59892: It's too noticeable, for one thing, and it just doesn't have the kind
of speed we need.
0x88d00: It looks like that part of the railing flares out.
0x88d34: Once you take out someone, drag the body there and throw it over.
0x88d77: It's a bad idea to leave the body around. You wouldn't want to alert
the enemy of your presence.
0x88f33: Snake, if you fall from there, even you won't make it. You can't fall,
no matter what. OK?
0x98b7a: Snake, switch to First Person View and look at the upper decks.
0x98bbb: See the sentries? Take them out in First Person View before they see
you.
0xe88ba: See those lockers? It's a good place to hide yourself if you're in a
pinch.
0xe8907: Push the Action button near the locker to open the door. Walk into it
for a quick concealment.
0xe8967: Push the Action button once more to get out of the locker.
0xe89a3: You can see out from the slit in the door.
0xe89cf: Make sure you check the area using First Person View before you go
out.
0xe8a18: You can also hide enemies you've knocked out in the locker.
0xe8a55: Just open the locker, then drag the body to the locker.
0xe8a8e: If you open the locker, you can use the door as a cover during an
exchange of gunfire.
0xe8ae6: But of course, this is a pretty flimsy door -- there are limits to how
many bullets it can withstand.
0xe8b4d: Don't count on it too much, okay?
0xe8b70: This reminds me of when we first met.
0xe8b97: I was the one inside the locker that time. We're equal now, huh?
0xe8bd9: Not unless I wet my pants.
0xe8bf5: That's a low blow, Snake!
0xec05e: Snake, get yourself out of sight now! Enemy search parties are on the
way. It's a Clearing.
0x149d1f: It doesn't look like you can open that locker. It must be locked or
something.
0x149d6f: Try another one if you really need to use a locker.
0x178f3a: Snake, those pipes you see along the wall and ceiling are steam
conduits.
0x178f85: They're thin enough to penetrate with gunfire.
0x178fb5: Don't touch the steam -- one of those blasts from the hole will burn
your skin off.
0x17900a: You may be able to use it as a trap of some sort, though.
0x188dc5: Snake, watch out for the floor there. It's wet from the rain.
0x188e04: You'll leave tracks if you just walk on it.
0x188e31: If someone finds your prints, they may decide to raise alarm.
0x188e70: Crawl instead and you won't leave any traces.
0x198b15: Snake, that door is probably busted. Try the other ones.
0x1a0310: What do you think you're doing, Snake? You don't have enough to keep
you busy?
0x1a0360: Try to remember the mission, if you can.
0x1b0700: Snake, the holds are straight ahead,
0x1b0726: but right now, you need to get to the bridge, on top of the
superstructure. Go up.
0x1b0e40: Snake, that door is probably busted.
0x1b0e66: Right now, you need to get to the bridge, on top of the
superstructure. Go up.
0x1b9a1a: That must be the crew lounge. The tanker's crewmen would relax here
when they're off-shift.
0x1b9a77: There's a lot of stuff there. Make sure you don't move it around too
much.
0x1b9ac3: Someone may notice that it's been tampered with.
0x1b9af5: Leave no traces -- that's common sense when infiltrating a target,
right?
0x1c98ea: Look at the TV over there. It's showing the hold.
0x1c991d: So that's...
0x1c992b: The new Metal Gear.
0x1c9940: Why are they broadcasting this?
0x1c9961: They probably want to keep a record of this exercise -- and maybe
give a little presentation?
0x1c99c0: Presentation?
0x1c99cf: That ship's been transmitting a live video feed via military
satellite uplink for a while now.
0x1c9a2f: So there's some brass out there, smacking their lips over this little
home movie.
0x1c9a82: I've been trying to pinpoint the receiving location, but I haven't
had much luck.
0x1c9ad5: There's a heavy duty firewall in the way. I'll try some more, though.
0x1c9b1c: Wherever it is, it must be a warm, dry office with hot coffee on tap.
0x1c9b63: A far cry from that tanker, huh?
0x1c9b85: That's what happens when the battlefield has a Revolution in Military
Affairs.
0x1d9e15: Snake, how long are you going to stand around watching TV? Get back
to the mission.
0x1ea445: The hallway's pretty narrow, but there is that alcove to the side.
0x1ea489: If you're about to run into someone, you can always hide in there and
let them pass.
0x221f60: Snake, that door opens out onto the deck.
0x221f8b: You still have to get to the bridge to find out where this transport
is headed. Go up.
0x23b1aa: Snake, there's a surveillance camera in place.
0x23b1da: Once you're in its field of view, an alarm will go off. You can't
afford to be seen.
0x23b230: Wait for the camera to point the other way, then run past it.
0x23b26f: There's also a blind spot right beneath the camera. Use it to buy
some time.
0x23b2bd: You can also use the chaff grenade to set up some electronic
interference.
0x23b309: The camera will be ineffective for a while.
0x23b336: There's a blind spot right beneath the camera. Use it to buy some
time.
0x25c8fa: That must be the mess hall.
0x25c917: It's pretty small considering the size of the ship...
0x25c94e: I guess modern tankers are so automated that you only need a crew of
about twenty.
0x25c9a2: That's not a lot to feed.
0x25c9bd: There's a lot of things there, but make sure you don't disturb
anything and leave traces.
0x25ca18: The enemy might notice.
0x26c8b1: So he was about to have dinner...
0x26c8d4: And got a bullet in the head instead. Poor *******.
0x28c9da: Snake, that's the pantry -- where they keep the food supplies.
0x28ca1a: Hm, lots of cardboard boxes. You could probably use one to blend in
and avoid being discovered.
0x2a356e: Snake, they're waiting to ambush you on top of the stairs!
0x2a35aa: There's no way you can make it up while being sniped from above.
0x2a35ec: You can't get up those stairs until you've shaken the enemy from your
trail. Get out of there for now!
0x2adc0a: This is the bridge -- but it's not just a place where you steer the
ship.
0x2adc55: In a modern tanker, navigational, engine control,
0x2adc88: communication and all the other major operational functions are
consolidated in the bridge.
0x2adce5: The ship is auto-piloted via a global positioning satellite system.
0x2add2a: This is a precision instrument we're talking about here, so it's
probably best to leave it alone.
0x2c66e0: Snake, you're not the only one with a gun. If you don't take cover,
you'll get hurt.
0x2c6736: Hide behind something.
0x2c674e: She may be hiding too, but you have a clear shot whenever she decides
to attack.
0x2c67a0: Use the First Person View Attack!
0x2c67c3: Snake, she's shooting from concealment.
0x2c67ec: You should use the First Person View Attack.
0x2c681a: Push the R1 button to change to First Person View.
0x2c684e: Then use the Weapon button to raise the gun and you can attack from
that viewpoint.
0x2c68a3: Push the L2 and R2 buttons while in First Person View to strafe left
and right.
0x2c68f4: Push the L2 and R2 buttons at the same time to stretch up on your
toes while still in First Person View.
0x2c695e: These moves can be useful.
0x2c697a: Snake, use the Corner View to watch for a chance to attack while
hidden.
0x2c69c4: Push the R2 or L2 button while in Corner View to take quick looks
out.
0x2c6a0c: You can also move the right analog stick while in Corner View to
survey other directions.
0x2c6a67: If you have a weapon selected,
0x2c6a87: push the Weapon button while in Corner View to jump out from
concealment and aim your weapon.
0x2c6ae6: Your best opportunity will be when she tries to attack. Shoot before
she does!
0x2c6b36: If you use a First Person View Attack, you should be able to strike
from between containers.
0x2c6b94: You'll have an element of surprise on your side.
0x2c6bc6: Snake, she has grenades -- you can't stay in one place.
0x2c6bff: Keep moving around and you'll be safer!
0x2c6c28: Who is she, anyway?
0x2c6c3d: That scout knife had Spetsnaz written all over it, but...
0x2c6c78: Spetsnaz? That's the special ops of the Soviet GRU. So she must be
Russian...?
0x2c6cc8: Who knows. All I'm sure of is that she shoots like a commando.
0x2c6d15: Snake, she's shooting at you from behind the tarpaulin.
0x2c6d4e: She can see you, but the tarp's completely blocking your view.
0x2c6d8e: You haven't got a prayer like this. Do something about that tarp!
0x2c6dd1: Snake, get rid of that light! You can't see anything with that glare.
0x2c6e18: Shoot it out or you're a sitting duck!
0x2c6e40: The handgun's effects vary depending on where you manage to land a
shot.
0x2c6e8a: Aim for the head for the highest degree of damage. Use the First
Person View to take aim.
0x2c91b0: Snake, are you trying to run away? I don't think she'll let you. You
have to stand your ground here!
0x2c9216: Don't tell me you're getting discouraged!
0x2c9241: You're supposed to be great under pressure, remember?
0x2c9278: She's almost done. Hang in there!
0x2cb093: Snake, if you go any further out, you'll be completely exposed to the
enemy.
0x2cb0e1: Are you suicidal or something!? Get back!
0x2cd860: What are you doing?
0x2cd875: How could you shoot someone who's unconscious! What are you, some
kind of a monster!?
0x2d63ca: Snake, I know you're into high places,
0x2d63f2: but do you think maybe you can head down into the hold sometime this
year?
0x2d643e: You're here to take those photos of Metal Gear, remember?
0x2e6ef4: I'm not in the mood to go sleep with the fishes, but...
0x2e6f2d: There are too many sensors. Looks like I'll have to find another way.
0x2e6f74: No need to worry. There's a way through.
0x2e6f9e: Take a close look --
0x2e6fb4: do you see the thing with blinking green light right next to the
explosives?
0x2e7002: That's the control unit for the sensors.
0x2e702c: Destroy that and the sensors stop functioning.
0x2e705c: You can't get in close enough to touch it, so you'll have to shoot it
out.
0x2e70a8: But your M9's knockout rounds won't work. Find a gun somewhere.
0x2e70e9: But the M9's knockout rounds won't work. The USP you picked up should
do the trick. Use that gun.
0x2e714c: The actual explosive device is the one with a blinking orange light
on it.
0x2e7198: Don't even think about shooting that.
0x2e71bf: Any significant impact will set off the detonators, which is not
good.
0x2e7207: Just aim for the green lights and take out the control unit.
0x2e7245: Looks like there are several control units.
0x2e7272: Unless you take out all of them, you won't be able to get through.
0x2e72b6: Once you've destroyed a control unit, the IR beam should shut off.
0x2e72fa: If the beam is intact, that means there's a control unit you haven't
managed to take out.
0x2e7355: You need to destroy every single control unit.
0x2e7385: Use the First Person View Attack to target and destroy only the
control unit.
0x2e73d4: You should be able to target the partly concealed unit by climbing on
top of objects,
0x2e742b: crawling or stretching.
0x2e7571: There's a bag of extinguisher compounds for fires.
0x2e75a5: Maybe you can shoot the bag and scatter some of the chemicals.
0x2e75e5: If you trigger the sensor, the explosives will detonate.
0x2e761f: Don't ever make contact with the beams. This is very important.
0x2e7660: Aim carefully and take out just the control unit from the infrared
sensors.
0x2e76ad: Use the First Person View for accuracy.
0x2e76d6: The control unit is the one with the green light.
0x2e7709: The plastic explosive is probably Semtex.
0x2e7734: It was developed in the former Czechoslovakia. As easy to use as C4,
and just as powerful.
0x2e7790: The composition is a mix of RDX and PETN, with a detonation velocity
of over 26,000 feet per second,
0x2e77f6: with temperatures reaching up to 3000 degrees Fahrenheit.
0x2e7831: It was probably the explosive used in the Pan Am 103 bombing over
Lockerbie in 1988.
0x2e7887: If this much Semtex goes off at the same time, the tanker will
disappear in two seconds flat.
0x2e78e6: Make sure it doesn't go off, then. Don't trip the sensor, don't touch
the Semtex.
0x2e7939: Are they planning to take Metal Gear, and then sink the ship...?
0x30a2da: That's the engine room. You can see the tanker's engine in the middle
there.
0x30a328: The engine noise is pretty loud, but that means the enemy's hearing
will be hampered too.
0x30a383: The reason the ship's drive section is in the aft area
0x30a3bb: is so that more oil tanks can be fitted into the middle part.
0x30a3fa: A shortened propeller axle is another benefit.
0x30a42a: The simplification of the drive structure means a greater emphasis
can be placed on hull strength.
0x31105d: Snake, the engine room is full of solid structures --
0x311094: you could probably use them to get away when the enemy is chasing
you.
0x3110dc: Use the Hanging mode wisely.
0x31a0aa: Snake, that shadow -- it's --
0x31a0c9: It's him, no doubt about it.
0x31a0e7: But Raven was -- you know, out in Shadow Moses...
0x31a11a: I know. Maybe it's the last of his nine lives,
0x31a14a: or maybe his Maker decided to give him another chance...
0x31a184: You're not serious, are you?
0x31a1a2: Maybe I am, maybe I'm not.
0x31a1be: Either way, we'll find out soon enough.
0x31a1e7: Snake, watch your step, okay...?
0x39aa2a: She's not dead, is she?
0x39aa43: No, just knocked out.
0x39aa5a: Good.
0x39aa61: Looks like a little angel, doesn't she?
0x39aa8a: What's gotten into you?
0x39aaa3: Nothing.
0x39aaad: Sleeping Beauty may have been awakened by Prince Charming's kiss,
0x39aaf0: but you'd better not try it here.
0x39ab13: I'm with you. Besides, I've had enough of tomboys.
0x3ba28d: That door probably can't be opened. Try heading north.
0x3eff40: That door probably can't be opened. Head east.
0x41809d: Doesn't look as though you can open that door. Just keep heading
south.
0x440440: Once you've got the photos,
0x44045d: use the workstation in the southeast end of that room to send them
over to me.
0x4404ad: But if they aren't what we need, I'm going to have to ask you to take
another set.
0x440501: Snake, the tanker's holds are divided into three separate blocks,
0x440544: and Metal Gear is in the farthest hold. You need to head north.
0x440585: You know the number you're up against. If you're spotted, there's no
winning that fight.
0x4405df: You have to stay out of their sight, okay?
0x44060b: Snake, take those pictures before the Commandant finishes his speech.
It's the only chance we've got.
0x440672: As soon as he finishes up, the Marines will go back to their posts.
0x4406b7: That's way too many pairs of eyes watching out for Metal Gear.
0x4406f7: There's no way they'll let an intruder with a camera slip past.
0x440738: Do what you have to before that happens.
0x440762: You absolutely can't let anyone see you in there.
0x440795: There are too many Marines in there to handle, even for you.
0x4407d3: If they see you, you're dead. Caution's the keyword here.
0x44080e: The Marine Corps' defining character is that of an emergency response
team in crisis situations.
0x440870: But the Army's been steadily enlarging its own crisis response
capabilities,
0x4408be: building on the strength of their Medium Brigade.
0x4408f1: Analysis is that the Marine Corps sees this as an infringement on
their own domain,
0x440946: and is more than a little alarmed.
0x44096a: We both know that Metal Gear REX was being developed for deployment
by the Army.
0x4409bc: So it does make sense that the Marines are trying to compete with
their own version of Metal Gear.
0x440a20: So the Commandant says the Navy is leaning on them, huh?
0x440a5a: I'm sure the Navy isn't happy about the new Metal Gear prototype
being developed.
0x440aad: From what I can tell, the new model can make an approach, launch an
attack,
0x440afa: and execute takeoffs from the ocean without any support.
0x440b34: If the weapon makes it past the testing stage, it could render
aircraft carriers,
0x440b87: battleships, even submarines obsolete.
0x440baf: It's a matter of life or death for the Navy as an organization...
0x440bf2: And if it's true that the Navy has its own Metal Gear in the works,
0x440c37: that's another reason for them to get nervous.
0x440c67: You heard the Commandant mention the NMD -- the National Missile
Defense program.
0x440cba: It was conceptualized late last century as a defense network to
detect and engage
0x440d11: enemy ICBM's launched at the continental United States.
0x440d4a: But at the same time, it came under fire for contributing to nuclear
proliferation.
0x440d9f: The MIRV'ing of ballistic missiles and the increase in weapon
lethality
0x440dec: were some of the byproducts of these defense R&D's.
0x440e21: There was a lot of opposition from the international community,
0x440e62: on the grounds that the program violated the Anti-Ballistic Missile
Treaty.
0x440eaf: Russia and China were especially vocal in their criticism.
0x440eeb: Program deployment is a ways off, in any case.
0x440f1b: The military hasn't been able to come up with a good technology to
discriminate
0x440f70: between actual targets and decoys.
0x440f94: There are also other tech issues that have to be addressed.
0x440fd1: Ok, we're finally there.
0x440feb: So this is the new Metal Gear...
0x44100d: Yep. And we're going to show the whole world its baby pictures.
0x44104e: Get the prototype on camera.
0x44106c: We need four images. One from the front-right, the front, and the
front-left,
0x4410bb: and a closeup of the "MARINES" marking on the prototype.
0x4410f5: Once you have the photos, use the workstation in the southeast end of
the area to transmit them over to me.
0x441162: Send me something I can use!
0x441180: Ok, we're done with the image from the right.
0x4411af: Three left to go -- one each from the front-left and front, and a
closeup of the "MARINES" lettering.
0x441216: Good luck.
0x441222: The picture from the left is perfect. There's three left to go.
0x441263: One each from the front-right and front, and a closeup of the
"MARINES" lettering. Have fun.
0x4412c1: The front shot works. Three more and we're done.
0x4412f3: Take a picture from the front-right and front-left side, and a
closeup of the "MARINES" lettering.
0x441357: We're good on the image of the lettering. Three left to go --
0x441396: one each from the front-right, front-left, and the front of Metal
Gear.
0x4413df: I have the photos from the right and left. We still need two:
0x44141e: One from the front and a closeup of the "MARINES" lettering.
0x44145c: The photos from the right and front are good to go. We need two more.
0x4414a3: One from the front-left and a closeup of the "MARINES" lettering. Be
careful.
0x4414f2: We can use the photos of the right and the insignia,
0x441528: but we're still missing one from the front-left and the front.
0x441568: The photos from the left and the one of the lettering are great.
0x4415aa: The two we need are the ones from the front-right and the front. Good
luck.
0x4415f7: The photos from the left and the front are good to go. We have two
left:
0x441641: One from the front-right and a closeup of the "MARINES" lettering.
0x441685: We already have the pictures from the front and the one of the
lettering.
0x4416d0: Take two shots of Metal Gear from the front-right and the front-left.
Send it over as soon as you can.
0x441738: The photos from the right, front and left are ready to go up.
0x441777: The only one we need is a closeup of the "MARINES" lettering. We're
almost there.
0x4417ca: The photos from the right and the left and the one of the lettering
look good.
0x44181a: The only one we need is of Metal Gear from the front. Good luck.
0x44185c: We're okay on the photos from the right, front and the one of the
lettering.
0x4418aa: The only one we want is of Metal Gear from the front-left. I know you
can do it.
0x4418fc: I have the photos from the left, front and the one of the lettering.
0x441942: The only one we still don't have is of Metal Gear from the
front-right. That's the last one!
0x4419a0: Why are you turning around? Metal Gear is in the farthest hold, I
told you.
0x4419ed: The Commandant is almost done with his speech. We're just about out
of time -- hurry!
0x442f00: Snake, that door is locked from the other side. There's no way back
now. Keep moving.
0x444b90: Snake, you can't walk on that floor without causing a racket.
0x444bcf: You'll be in trouble if someone hears you.
0x444bfb: To move more quietly, try crawling, or walk slower by pushing the
left analog stick a little bit at a time.
0x446860: Snake, face the ladder and push the Action button to grab onto the
ladder.
0x4468ac: Push the Action button again at the top or the foot of the ladder to
let go.
0x4468fa: Remember, while you're going up or down a ladder, you won't be able
to use any weapons.
0x44a410: Snake, look at that hatch over there. It probably connects to a
below-deck network of ducts.
0x44a46e: Face the hatch and push the Action button to open it.
0x44c664: Snake, you see that projector there?
0x44c68a: See what comes up if you turn it onto the screen in front of you.
0x44c6cd: I'm guessing there isn't enough space for all the Marines in that
farthest hold where Metal Gear is.
0x44c733: So they're broadcasting the live proceedings --
0x44c764: Why risk broadcasting in the first place?
0x44c78f: Don't cut across in front of the projector, or the enemy may spot
your shadow.
0x44c7df: Crawl across if you need to move in front of the projector.
0x44e3f0: Snake, they'll find you if you make any loud noises, even inside that
duct.
0x44e43d: There's no way you can take on that many of them.
0x44e470: Don't even think about firing a gun, okay? Please?
0x451250: Snake, that workstation is the transfer point between the tanker's
intranet and the outside world.
0x4512b4: Use it to send those pictures over.
0x4512d9: All you have to do is face the computer and push the Action button,
0x45131e: and the photos will be sent.
0x45133c: Hope you took a good one!
0x451357: That workstation is hooked up to the greater military network;
0x451397: the speech in the holds is being relayed out through that machine.
0x4513db: We'll be making use of it too.
0x4513fb: I managed to get in through an Army IC router in Ohio.
0x451433: All I had to do from there was use the Link-16 to remotely install a
few drivers
0x451489: and an application onto that workstation.
0x4514b4: So your camera can talk to their computer now.
0x4514e4: Hey, even military networks use products based on commercial
technology.
0x45152e: Nothing too unfamiliar there.
0x45154d: Besides, I cut myself a back door when I still had access.
0x451589: I had a lot of access privileges while we were developing REX.
0x4515c9: Hey, are you listening?
0x4515e2: Oh, ah, yeah...
0x4515f3: Really? Anyway, the program will compress, encrypt and packetize the
photo's image data.
0x45164d: I used BATON for encryption, by the way.
0x451677: And the beauty of it is -- the packets are disguised to look like the
TADIL-J message format.
0x4516d6: Get it? It's the standard Tactical Digital Information Link message
format,
0x451723: and the packets will be sent out cloaked by their own speech
broadcast.
0x45176c: Tell me that isn't brilliant!
0x451790: Want me to go over it again?
0x4517ae: No, once was enough.
0x455474: Oh, so he was broadcasting all this stuff.
0x458d40: Snake, you're not going to be able to climb back up that thing.
0x458d81: You should forget about going up to that level.
0x45b0c0: This is Snake. Do you read me, Otacon?
0x45b0e8: Loud and clear, Snake.
0x45b100: Kept you waiting, huh? I'm at the "sneak point."
0x45b132: Everything going okay?
0x45b14a: The stealth camo's busted. Landing impact.
0x45b176: We must have overused it. Sorry, but you're gonna have to deal with
it.
0x45b1bf: You're not in the military anymore.
0x45b1e4: Right. I didn't plan on relying on this gadget anyway.
0x45b21c: The private sector's not so bad, is it? Privacy guaranteed...
0x45b25b: I'm happy as long as no one gives me any more unwanted gifts.
0x45b29a: You mean that thing with Naomi?
0x45b2bb: And I can't say I miss the chattering nanny.
0x45b2e9: Mei Ling's not so bad. That reminds me, I have to get in touch with
her again
0x45b338: about that new Natik flashware.
0x45b359: Diverting toys from the SSCEN (U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center)
again? Give her a message from me:
0x45b3be: someone will find out sooner or later.
0x45b3e6: She's better off assuming it's sooner and quit while she's safe.
0x45b428: Too true. Okay, Snake, let's get to work.
0x45b453: You know how the technical specs of Metal Gear were sold on the black
market after Shadow Moses?
0x45b4b5: All Ocelot's doing...
0x45b4cc: Exactly. And now every state, group and dotcom has its own version of
Metal Gear.
0x45b51f: Not exactly a classified weapon for today's nuclear powers.
0x45b55c: This new one seems to have been designed to wipe the floor with all
the other models.
0x45b5b3: The only consistent description is that it's an amphibious,
anti-Metal Gear vehicle...
0x45b60b: That explains why this one is under Marine Corps jurisdiction.
0x45ba80: We need to get a fix on who they are.
0x45baa7: Judging by their transport, aren't they some kind of military
commandos?
0x45baf1: Not necessarily. It could be the KA-62, the civil model.
0x45bb2b: This isn't like Shadow Moses. Reach me if anything happens.
0x45bb68: I'll be waiting just past the Verrazano Bridge. You need to be off
that ship by then.
0x45bbbf: I'll be in touch.
0x45c3b0: Snake, did you find out where that ship is headed?
0x45c3e4: I'm looking at it -- 35 degrees longitude, latitude around 58.
0x45c424: More than 500 miles off the coast of the Bermudas, out in the middle
of the Atlantic...
0x45c47d: So the prototype is ready for solo testing -- it's basically
combat-worthy.
0x45c4ca: That area is outside the Second Fleet's operational range, too.
0x45c50b: It must be a stand-alone Marine Corps project -- which means this
prototype Metal Gear
0x45c567: must be designed for independent deployment, without any Naval
assistance...
0x45c5b5: Anyway, analysis can wait till later.
0x45c5dc: Snake, you need to go down to the holds and locate the actual
Metal...
0x45cdb0: Otacon, the ship appears to be under their control.
0x45cde5: The men have Russian gear, but I haven't been able to find out
anything else about their origin.
0x45ce47: I know who they are.
0x45ce5d: You do?
0x45ce66: We've ID'd the old man.
0x45ce7f: Who is he?
0x45ce8b: Sergei Gurlukovich.
0x45cea0: Gurlukovich...! One of Ocelot's allies?
0x45d7eb: Look, Snake, all we need is the photographic evidence of Metal Gear.
0x45d831: As long as we have those, we can put it online and blow the whole
thing wide open.
0x45d885: So no pyrotechnics, okay?
0x45d8a0: All right. I'll do my best.
0x45d8fa: The frequency is 141.12.
0x45d914: How can I check in and save my progress?
0x45d93e: I'll do it. There's a frequency set aside for it -- 140.96.
0x45d97b: Sorry, but no Mei Ling this time.
0x45d99e: Call me on the Codec when you want to save.
0x45d9cb: Got it.
0x45e7d9: Yeah... The GRU colonel. He's the one Ocelot was supposed to meet up
with, after Shadow Moses...
0x45e83b: They're after Metal Gear...
0x45e858: Everything's changed. This is not going to be as simple as we
thought.
0x45e8a0: You could say that. I saw a surveillance remote just now, it looked
like the Cypher.
0x45e8f6: A Marine Cypher-T?
0x45e90a: No, Army.
0x45e915: First the Marines, then the Russians -- now the Army...?
0x45e94f: You're right, this isn't going to be simple.
0x45e97d: Snake -- There's something I have to tell you.
0x45e9b4: We didn't dig up this info -- about the new Metal Gear -- on our own.
Not like usual...
0x45ea0d: How did you find out, then?
0x45ea2a: It was a tip. An anonymous tip.
0x45ea4b: Anonymous? You've never trusted those -- why would you start now?
0x45ea8e: I, ah -- I have a younger sister. A stepsister. We have different
parents...
0x45eadc: I only knew her for two years.
0x45eafc: You've never mentioned her before. So...?
0x45eb27: The sender of the tip was "E.E."
0x45eb49: "E.E."?
0x45eb52: Her name is Emma, but I always called her "E.E."...
0x45eb87: Emma Emmerich?
0x45eb97: Yeah. It just caught my eye, you know?
0x45ebc0: I figured it was a coincidence, but I couldn't get it out of my mind.
0x45ec07: There's really no one out there who knows about her.
0x45ec3d: When was the last time you saw her?
0x45ec62: Over 10 years ago.
0x45ec76: You think it's a trap? To lure us out here...?
0x45eca6: I don't know. After I got the tip, I did break into the Pentagon
system to get confirmation.
0x45ed04: Okay...
0x45ed0d: Watch your back, Snake. Maybe I screwed up.
0x45ed3a: I've got a light-equipped USP; I can take them on now.
0x45ed72: There's no ammo, but it takes a 9mm, just like the Marines' M9. I'll
find those somewhere around here.
0x45edda: Don't raise too much racket with that thing.
0x45ee08: I hear you.
0x45f5a0: Snake, are you in yet? Have you made it to the holds?
0x45f5d7: It's taking longer than I expected. We've already passed the
Verrazano Bridge.
0x45f627: All right. We'll use another recovery point.
0x45f655: They may be planning to change course.
0x45f684: The exits to the deck are all sealed.
0x45f6ab: What are they planning?
0x45f6c4: If they get Metal Gear, we're going right off the fringe.
0x460580: OK, Snake. Let's go over this one more time.
0x4605ae: Use this camera to get photographic evidence of the Metal Gear
prototype.
0x4605f9: Now, do your thing and take pictures that speak louder than the
government's plausible denials.
0x46065a: We need four shots:
0x46066f: Metal Gear from the front, front-right, and front-left,
0x4606a8: and a close-up of the Marine Corps marking.
0x4606d5: Marking?
0x4606df: There should be a "MARINES" insignia on the body of Metal Gear.
0x460720: Just let someone try explaining away a clear shot of that.
0x46075c: All right.
0x460768: There's actually one little thing...
0x46078e: Just spit it out. I'm used to things going wrong.
0x4607c1: It looks like someone's monitoring our transmission.
0x4607fd: I don't have a clue. All they're doing is watching -- it would creep
me out less
0x46084f: if they tried to interfere with our communications.
0x460884: Could it have something to do with that Cypher we saw?
0x4608bc: Maybe. I've switched the encryption protocol for our burst
transmission for now.
0x46090e: What I want to do is use a different method for sending those photos,
just in case.
0x460963: Instead of using the Codec?
0x460980: Exactly. There's a workstation in the southeast corner of the block
where Metal Gear is housed.
0x4609e1: I've made arrangements so that you can send the pictures from the
machine.
0x460a2d: "Arrangements"?
0x460a3e: I hitched a ride on Link-16 into U.S. military's proprietary network.
0x460a85: Managed to get into that workstation and overwrote a part of the
system software
0x460adb: so I could remote-install a little app I wrote...
0x460b0e: Why bother with anything that complicated...
0x460b3c: No, it's pretty simple, really.
0x460b5d: Look, all you have to do is stand in front of the machine and push
the Action button.
0x460bb4: The app will automatically launch and download the image data from
the camera,
0x460c04: split the files and encrypt them individually.
0x460c34: The data packets can then masquerade as...
0x460c60: OK, OK. So all I have to do is push the Action button in front of the
computer
0x460cb4: once I have the pictures, right?
0x460cd6: Well, sure, if you put it that way.
0x460cfb: And one more thing...
0x460d12: The Commandant's already begun his speech, but you need to get the
pictures before he's done talking.
0x460d79: Otherwise, they'll spot you. OK?
0x460d9b: How much time do I have?
0x460db5: I hacked into his personal files and took a look at the text of that
speech.
0x460e03: I'd say you have seven more minutes -- longer if he throws in a joke
or two.
0x460e51: A seven-minute time limit, huh?
0x460e72: Remember, Snake, just the photos, OK?
0x460e99: With these kinds of odds, I won't be making any sudden moves.
0x460ed8: But that doesn't mean we can just let Metal Gear be hijacked.
0x460f17: Okay, okay, but first, the photos...
0x460f3d: All right. We'll deal with the rest when we get there.
0x460f75: Stay low.
0x46ada0: Do you want to save, Snake?
0x46adbd: Time to save?
0x46adcc: Oh, you need to save. Just a second.
0x46adf2: Oh, Snake, you want to save?
0x46ae10: Need to save, right, Snake?
0x46ae2d: You all right, Snake? I'm ready to save whenever you are.
0x46ae68: Snake! Thank God! I can do a quick save if you need.
0x46ae9e: Snake! Do you need to save?
0x46aebb: OK, see you, Snake.
0x46aed0: Hang in there.
0x46aee0: Oh, you're not going to save? Well, okay, just let me know when you
need to.
0x46af2e: OK, Snake. Stay out of trouble.
0x46af4f: Look, Snake, this frequency is for saving only. Remember?
0x46af8a: Hang in there, Snake!
0x46afa1: Let me know as soon as you need to save, okay? Don't let them get
you!
0x46afe9: Don't give up!
0x46aff9: Snake! You've got to stay alive!
0x46b01b: Hey, there's no MEMORY CARD (PlayStation 2) in the MEMORY CARD slot.
0x46b062: Saving can't be done unless you have a MEMORY CARD (PlayStation 2)
ready.
0x46b0ae: You need to set the MEMORY CARD (PlayStation 2) in the MEMORY CARD
slot.
0x46b0f9: Oh no. Snake, there wasn't enough space left on the MEMORY CARD
(PlayStation 2) to save the game.
0x46b15d: 'Scuse me but -- you can't save unless you format, you know.
0x46b19b: I'm really sorry, Snake. There was an error and I couldn't save.
0x46b1dd: There's no MEMORY CARD (PlayStation 2) in the MEMORY CARD slot!
0x46b21f: I can't save unless you have a MEMORY CARD (PlayStation 2) ready!
0x46b263: Set the MEMORY CARD (PlayStation 2) in the MEMORY CARD slot now!
0x46b2a6: Snake, there wasn't enough space left on the MEMORY CARD (PlayStation
2)!
0x46b2f2: I couldn't save the game!
0x46b30d: Look, there's no way to save unless you format the MEMORY CARD
(PlayStation 2)!
0x46b35f: Snake, there was an error and I couldn't save!
0x46b38f: Snake, you of course know the saying "One for all, all for one."
0x46b3d1: What is this, all of a sudden?
0x46b3f1: Oh, I figured you'd need a lot of motivation, so I came prepared.
0x46b434: It's from 'The Three Musketeers' -- the book, not the candy bar.
0x46b476: Anyway, it means that if you go up against everyone by yourself,
they'll gang up on you too. I think.
0x46b4dd: Since you're on your own on that ship, you need to take this to heart
and avoid confrontations.
0x46b53e: How was that? Just like the old days, huh?
0x46b56a: Almost reminds me of Mei Ling, but... You sure you got it right?
0x46b5ac: Of course! And I'll teach you a lot more of these, you can count on
it.
0x46b5f5: Great...
0x46b5ff: Okay... There's a saying that goes
0x46b627: "Even a bird on high dies a glutton's death, as do the fish of The
Deeps."
0x46b673: The lesson is -- er, don't be greedy.
0x46b69a: The fish that belonged to a family called the Deeps died from
overfeeding,
0x46b6e6: and so did a bird that got high on something -- probably fermented
fruit.
0x46b731: ...okay. If you say so.
0x46b74a: I do, Snake. Don't take unnecessary risks just because you're greedy
for more Items.
0x46b7a0: Remember the Deep family's fish.
0x46b7c7: Another Chinese proverb:
0x46b7e1: "Those who look to the Heavens prosper, those who defy it are no
more." Do you know this one?
0x46b840: The meaning here is -- hold on a sec --
0x46b869: that you can only survive as long as you're a part of the natural
order of things.
0x46b8bd: You remember pre-ripped jeans?
0x46b8dd: Manufacturers thought that just because people loved old, broken-in
jeans,
0x46b929: they would want to buy new jeans that looked old. So they
purposefully --
0x46b974: What do jeans have to do with nature and order?
0x46b9a5: Denim should fray and rip on its own, naturally. Right?
0x46b9de: Some designers tried to go against that, and -- no one bought them!
0x46ba23: The earnings report from that fiscal year is enough of a proof!
0x46ba64: Earnings...?
0x46ba72: Hey, Snake, what's "Hardest won, most easily lost"?
0x46baa7: It's time, get it? Amazing how relevant these Chinese proverbs still
are!
0x46baf2: Once the moment's gone, it's gone.
0x46bb16: Except for daylight savings time, of course.
0x46bb44: That extra hour to do anything you like with every autumn... gotta
love it.
0x46bb91: Then again, you lose an hour every spring, so I guess the proverbs
are right.
0x46bbe0: Wow, they thought of everything.
0x46bc02: Did they even have daylight savings back then?
0x46bc32: Of course not! They knew how to save time. We're the ones that need
to be tricked into it.
0x46bc8e: But you said --
0x46bc9f: The moment never returns, Snake. Let's not waste it on idle
questions.
0x46bce7: Okay...?
0x46bcf1: The Chinese have a saying:
0x46bd0d: "Those who are lost never question a path, and a drowning man doubts
not the shallows."
0x46bd66: And it means -- means that you need to make use of other people's
help. Otherwise, you could be in trouble.
0x46bdd3: If you're lost, you don't even know whether a road you come across is
a right one, and, uh,
0x46be30: what's the difference between shallow and deep if you've already
drowned... right?
0x46be84: Anyway, the point is that help is always a good thing to accept. So
make good use of the Codec.
0x46bee5: Look -- this stuff seems nothing like what Mei Ling used to talk
about.
0x46bf2e: Hey, she couldn't do better herself!
0x46bf59: "Acquaintances agree. Friends argue."
0x46bf80: That's a straightforward one.
0x46bf9f: The better friends you are, the more openly you can disagree with
each other.
0x46bfee: So feel free to present a counterpoint if you don't agree with what
I'm saying. Argue away!
0x46c04b: Sure. All right.
0x46c05d: ...Not a promising start. OK, forget what I said -- just go along
with my advice.
0x46c0b0: Do you know the saying "One forgets the hurt once the wound has
healed"?
0x46c0fa: And that of course means -- uh --
0x46c11d: where'd I put that piece of paper --
0x46c143: Did you say something?
0x46c15b: No, nothing. So, uh, forgetting the pain when the wound's healed
means... Um --
0x46c1ac: That you have to get better fast! Yeah, that's it. So stock up on
those rations and bandages.
0x46c20b: Is that really all it means?
0x46c229: Hey, I'm the expert here.
0x46c244: Snake, have you heard this one? "Evil is human nature, and his entire
being, falseness."
0x46c29e: The concept of so-called Original Sin.
0x46c2c6: The idea that you're born bad, so you can't help doing bad things...
0x46c30c: Hold on. I thought the idea of Original Sin was that you had to work
even harder
0x46c35e: at being good because you were born evil!
0x46c389: Er -- oh yeah, that too. Very good, Snake.
0x46c3ba: You know the story about Achilles and Paris?
0x46c3e8: The moral here is -- er -- something about his heel?
0x46c41e: Anyway, even the great and virtually immortal hero Achilles was
finally done in by Paris.
0x46c479: Talk about a dangerous city.
0x46c497: So don't get complacent. The mission can turn around and get you.
