All men are brothers, like the seas throughout the world; so why do winds and waves clash so fiercely everywhere?

Prologue

April 8, 1971

The Patriots headquarters

After the San Hieronymo Takeover, Major Zero and I developed The Patriots with all the funds The Philosopher's Legacy offered and thankfully the initiation was successful. Major Zero and I are working on a new mission, since Operations Snake Eater everyone we knew, Para-Medic, Sigint, Ocelot, EVA disappeared without a trace and so did I. Not until last year, after I met with Roy Campbell, Major Zero offered me a position in the Patriots along with Para-Medic and Sigint and recently we discovered where EVA could have gone.

Snake, I got some new, apparently we discovered some possible evidence of where EVA may be

Hmm… Haven't heard that name in a while

Also, the U.S. Government has given us an opportunity to make FOXHOUND official

How generous of them

Now don't get too cocky this is a serious op

And so what is this wonderful mission

Apparently about one week ago there was a camp discovered in Hanoi by one of our spy satellites, the camp's name is Red Zone, we don't know who runs the place or what they do but we are certain of the construction of nuclear weapons

Nuclear weapons?

Yes

Figured as much, the government wouldn't risk on sending me to such place just for the sake of one hostage

That's exactly right

Hmph, years pass and the U.S. doesn't like to get their hands dirty, what a courtesy of them

Moving on, the base is well guarded and without doubt this may be one of Vietnam's most important military bases, here; these are some pictures and some evidence of EVA being held at one of their camps

From the looks of it she is still lovely, who is the other man?

We researched on all possible files and we ended up with the conclusion that the man is apparently called Dr. Chekov Hendrix, he was one of the U.S. greatest minds until the Vietnamese kidnapped him for weapon engineering, and he was Sokolov's right hand man back then

Why?

Remember the story I told you when I managed to cross Sokolov into the west?

Yeah

Apparently Sokolov left the man in charge of all of his blueprints and ideas

But…

The man began to idealize that he could do better work than Sokolov used to do back in here, and so here we are speaking about this mission

So much for only one man

And so on 1968, we discovered that a facility in the middle of the woods was working on a new type of a nuclear weapon, and 1 month later after the U.S. was informed they began to take extreme caution just in case the Asians would strike us

This doesn't connect, why the U.S. would let the Asians take one of their greatest minds

Why do you guess the U.S. would bring their troops to fight in a senseless war?

Wait, do you mean the war between the U.S. and Vietnam began just because of this man?

Yes

What the hell was he working on?

At the time we had no idea until recently, when they kidnapped him all the blueprints that Sokolov left the Dr. disappeared along with him, it seemed strange to us that he would disappear those blueprints, and now this is why we are sending you in

Does this mean that a possible METAL GEAR is being designed?

No, we cannot raise suspicions just yet; your job is to infiltrate and find put, and bring the Dr. back to the U.S. safely

Hmm… and what does Eva have to do with this?

She showed up just by pure coincidence

After all this years she appears all of a sudden, what an irony

Now be ready in the next few days, NAVY Seals agreed to support us with some of their weapons and lend us one of their submarines, from there we will speak towards the radio and support you with whatever you need

How generous of them

The bad news is that ARMY, Air Force, and Marines will not be involved in anything we manage to do

Figured as much, the Vietnam war must been keeping them busy lately

Precisely, not only this is a war for the returning of one man, let's not forget about the whole debut on genocide

Humanities, not my strongest suit

Snake this is our only chance on getting this right, if we fail the faith of The Patriots and FOXHOUND depends on it or either we might be facing a crisis of a full scale nuclear war

Don't worry I don't plan to

EVA, that name brings back old memories, what was I supposed to say to the woman who tried to kill me seven years ago, and also the woman whom I fell in love with? Familiar faces are yet to come when I arrive to the base. Well I guess I have better stuff to think about besides love.
