So what exactly happened to the Head Doctor, and what is that VLM5030 thing doing here instead?

Also, "federal training"?

You're acting like you know something.

oops sorry that was supposed to be "anything else"

Any little detail might be useful in understanding how this place works. The nurses only answer questions in roundabout ways, so they're not much help, but if you were here before, then there has to be some reason for it. I mean, this can't all just be some sadistic game.

Snake, I'm not hiding anything from you. Most of what I know has to do with your future, and I don't see how telling you any of it now is going to make a difference.



Er. That sounds really bad, doesn't it? Look... I'd rather talk about it in person. I've never li I won't lie to you, Snake. Not if you really want to know.

Otacon -

You can hold it against me if you like, but I have no idea if I trust you yet. I know I should be able to, but I've seen so much deception and betrayal in my life that I don't know if I believe a single word you say. Is that clear?

Also, I have absolutely no interest in knowing my future. I've never believed in horoscopes or fortune tellers. Besides, since I'm here, it's not as if that future you say I'm going to have is actually going to happen.

And it can't just be a sadistic game, but the way my life has gone, I'm starting to wonder. It's like the mundane people toying with us just get pleasure out of watching their puppets suffer.

To be honest, I'm surprised you've trusted me this much so far. It doesn't matter. Even if we don't share the same experiences — or will ever share the same experiences, at that — I'm still your friend.

They picked the wrong people to toy with, then. There's not a fortress we've met that we haven't able to get into and out of.
