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

Also, "federal training"?

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.
