- Version History -
September 21, 2007 - v0.7 - Minor updates. In light of the upcoming DGN2
as well as a re-release of DGN1 with full voice acting, I finally decided
to come back to this guide. Touched up the walkthrough so it is now
complete. Added a FAQ section.
October 2, 2006 - v0.6 - Major update. The walkthrough is essentially
finished. All of the elements locations within the DGN, as well as all of
their connections inside the memory cube are listed. I just need to verify
one or two small things. The "Memory Element Reports" section is also
complete.
September 25, 2006 - v0.2 - Guide is created. It is far from done, but I
wanted to get it up for public viewing.

(1) Introduction
=================================
This section is to give you an idea of what this game, as well as this guide,
is all about. You'll find a brief description of the game, how you will be
"playing" it, controls, etc.
1.1 - Game and Guide Overview
This is the first FAQ I've ever done, so hopefully it won't be too poor. I
chose this game to be my first FAQ for several reasons. For one, nobody else
has made any type of FAQ for it yet. Secondly, it's relatively short, simple,
and straight-forward. Thirdly, I love the Metal Gear series.
With that being said, should you feel any desire to e-mail me then please do
so. Whether it be a question, comment, request, correction, whatever the
reason may be.
Now then, this game is called Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel. It's
based off of the comics written by Kris Oprisko with artwork by Ashley Wood.
Those comics are based off of the video game Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
for Nintendo Gamecube, which is based off of Metal Gear Solid for Playstation.
A lot of branches on this tree, huh?
However, the term "game" is used rather loosely. It's more like an interactive
comic book. What you'll be doing is watching the DGN (labelled as "VR
Simulation Mode"), and stopping the novel at certain points to search within
it's pages to find hidden memories ("Mental Search Mode"). Then once you've
gone through the entire DGN, you will connect all of the memories you've found
inside a big 3-D cube ("Memory Building Simulation Mode"). Doing so will cause
new memories to resurface within the cube as well as the DGN.
That's about it, so let's get started!
1.2 - Controls
This section will contain controls for each three modes, as well as how to
save, bookmark pages, and so on.
1.3 - Game Modes
This section will explain the three modes of the game, how to read the screens,
read the Sync bar, etc.
===============================
(2) Walkthrough
===============================
This section contains the basic walkthrough of the game. You will be going
through the digital graphic novel itself (VR Simulation Mode), then connecting
the memories within the 3-D memory cube. You'll also have to return to
the DGN to collect a few new "Flashback" memories. These are
memories that appear in VR Simulation Mode (the DGN itself) only after a
particular set of memories have been connected in Memory Building Simulation
Mode (the 3-D memory cube).
Sadly, there is no bonus or benefit for completing the memory cube, other than
the satisfaction of knowing you have it done. But I know that's more than
enough for you!!
Now here is the guide, listing where and when to find each memory, and where
to connect them. This is in a rather simplistic form, as this is a strange
game in terms of making a guide. Here's the basic idea of how to read it:
[a] [b] [c] [d]
3) Colonel Campbell: 100%, (-43, 0), P4F1
[a] This is the name of the memory. When you place the cursor over the memory
element, this is the title you'll see inside the cursor.
[b] This is the zoom percentage, which ranges from 100% to 300%.
[c] These are the coordinates on the page, which are located on each corner of
of the screen. The first coordinate is the horizontal axis (in other
words, move the cursor left-to-right and this coordinate will change) and
can be seen in the bottom-left and upper-right corners of the screen. The
second coordinate is the vertical axis (move the cursor up-and-down and
the coordinate will change) and is located in the upper-left and bottom-
right corners of the screen.
[d] This is the page and frame of where you'll find the memory. P4F1
translates to Page 4, Frame 1. You can see a list of pages ("Simulation
Data") by pressing the R shoulder button when in VR Simulation Mode or at
the start menu. However, the frames can be a little more difficult to
distinguish. Typically, I consider each loaded picture to be a frame
(when you see the small square flashing in the bottom-right corner, that's
a new picture loading.) When in doubt, go to the Simulation Data and count
the picture on the page.
You'll also find some labelled as FM1), FM2), and so forth. These are Fox
marks, which are also hidden throughout the DGN. They're that cool Kojima
Productions logo, and are typically hidden behind characters and walls.
Keep in mind that the zoom percentage and coordinates are estimates. While you
most certainly will find the memory at those exact coordinates, you don't have
to be EXACTLY there to find it.
If I find that a lot of people are having trouble navigating this guide, I will
make a more descriptive and thorough guide. But this should suffice for
getting you through.

Now that you've collected all of these, it's time to go to Memory Building
Simulation Mode to connect all of these memories together.
2.2 - Memory Building Simulation
Listed here is all of the memory elements you collected through VR Simulation
Mode, as well as the elements that will be found while working in Memory
Building Simulation Mode. This list bounces around a bit, but that is the
nature of the beast. The 3-D cube isn't exactly the easiest thing to navigate,
but you'll get used to it. You will see each element and all of the elements
it connects to. All connections for a particular memory may not be available
immediately, but the memories are generally listed in the approximate order in
which you should first encounter them. Also, keep in mind that there are
several connections that the game makes itself. The first title is what you'll
find under the memory element within the cube, and the title in parenthesis is
at the upper-left corner of the screen.

3.1 - Memory Element Reports
Here you'll find the description of each memory element. The first title is
what you'll find under the memory element within the cube, and the title in
parenthesis is at the upper-left corner of the screen.
[1] Solid Snake (Solid Snake)
A legendary hero and the main character of this story. A former FOXHOUND
member, he is of Japanese and English Descent, and is fluent in six languages.
Specializing in high-altitude parachute drops, scuba diving, and free climbing,
he can infiltrate any place in any circumstance, and is known as "a man who
makes the impossible possible." His true name and family are unknown, having
been specially coded as highly classified national top secret information.
[2] Sneaking (Sneaking Mission)
In an act of aggression, the terrorist group "The Sons of Big Boss" take over
Shadow Moses Island's nuclear waste plant. The Department of Defense summons
Solid Snake, the legendary former FOXHOUND hero living a life of seclusion in
Alaska. They propose to have him covertly infiltrate the island on a solo
mission to neutralize the terrorist threat.
[3] Campbell (Colonel Campbell)
Former FOXHOUND commander. After the original commander Big Boss's death, he
took command and rebuilt the hi-tech special ops unit FOXHOUND, which employs
satellites and other cutting-edge technology. He was codenamed "Chicken FOX"
while a member of the original FOXHOUND. Possessing inside knowledge of both
FOXHOUND and Solid Snake, he was appointed Commander of Operations.
[4] Secretary CIA (The Only Man Who Knows Snake)
After the Zanzibar Land Coup, Solid Snake left FOXHOUND to live a secluded life
in Alaska. The military knew Snake as a legendary soldier who existed merely
on paper. To call him back into action, attention was focused upon Roy
Campbell--the last commander of operations and Snake's friend, together through
the good and the bad.
[5] Commander (Commander)
As an experienced leader of infiltration operations in the original FOXHOUND,
Roy Campbell is appointed commander for this solo infiltration mission. He
came up with the plan of using nanomachines and radio transmissions to monitor
Solid Snake on his mission, and offers long-distance support from the submarine
headquarters.
[6] Support Team (Support Team)
Colonel Roy Campbell forms a support team to aid Solid Snake in his solo
infiltration of Shadow Moses Island. Obtaining environmental data from
nanomachines implanted throughout Snake's body, the team provides optimal
courses of action in real time.
[7] Mei Ling (Mei Ling)
One of the members who supports Solid Snake during the Shadow Moses incident.
Currently a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Specializing
in image data processing, she developed the Soliton Radar and the Codec. She
is also well-versed in proverbs.
[8] Support Team (Support Team 4)
The medical staff's job is to monitor Solid Snake's condition and control his
nanomachines. An expert in genetic engineering, Naomi Hunter was recruited
from a private biotech business to be a part of the support team for this
mission.
[9] Dr. Naomi (Naomi Hunter)
The FOXHOUND medical chief. A beautiful, sun-tanned scientist, in charge of
genetic treatment and gene fortification. She is adored by the other staff
members, who call her "Doctor Naomi."
[10] Support Team (Support Team 2)
Among those Colonel Roy Campbell gathered on the team to support Solid Snake,
he also included expert masterminds. Knowledgeable in Alaskan terrain and
survival techniques, Master Miller was Snake's mentor.
[11] Master Miller (Master Miller)
A third-generation Japanese American and former dedicated FOXHOUND instructor,
he was respectfully called "Master" Miller by FOXHOUND members. He currently
lives a retired life in Alaska. An innovative thinker well versed in science.
[12] Support Team (Support Team 3)
Nastasha Romanenko is another billiant person who supports Solid Snake. During
the Shadow Moses incident, she helps Snake by filling him in on the latest in
military affairs and providing him with information about nuclear weapons
development.
[13] Nastasha (Nastasha Romanenko)
A military anaylyst. Specializing in hi-tech and nuclear weapons, she supports
Snake through the Codec. She worked behind the scenes on a snumber of national
secrets in the NSA, but lost her job after the Cold War and became a freelance
military analyst. A heavy smoker.
[14] M. Analyst (Military Analyst)
A military analyst, specializing in nuclear weapons and familiar with the
latest military technologies, was appointed as a member of the support team.
[15] Teacher (Snake's Master)
Master Miller helped support Solid Snake during Snake's solo infiltration
mission in Zanzibar Land. He has known Snake longer than any other member of
FOXHOUND, and, like Snake, settled down in Alaska after retirement.
[16] M. Staff (Medical Staff)
In charge of medical care on the support team. Constantly in long-distance
control of the nanomachines, the medical staff monitors Solid Snake's health
conditions while on missions, and adjusts Snake's body condition by releasing
adrenaline, nutritional supplements, sugar, and more from the nanomachines.
[17] Correspondent (Correspondents)
The only communications link between Solid Snake and his support team during
missions is the Codec implanted in his ear. Each member of the support team
carries a separate circuit allowing them to transmit highly confidential
information.
[18] Old Commander (Former FOXHOUND Commander)
Former FOXHOUND commander Roy Campbell knew both Big Boss and Solid Snake. As
the only person with such personal knowledge, he is pulled into action once
more when the "Sons of Big Boss" terrorist group demands Big Boss's body.
[19] Strategy (Operation Objectives)
Granted the go-ahead to infiltrate Shadow Moses Island, Solid Snake is given
three mission objectives in briefing. The greatest operation ever undertaken
has begun, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
[20] Obstruction (Stop The Terrorists)
The terrorists are actually the Next-Generation Special Forces, comprised of
genome soldiers and agents of the hi-tech special ops unit FOXHOUND. As a
former member of FOXHOUND, Solid Snake must stop the terrorists.
[21] Rescue (Rescue The Hostages)
DARPA chief Donald Anderson and ArmsTech president Kenneth Baker are being
held by terrorists on Shadow Moses Island. These two must be rescued.
[22] President (President of ArmsTech)
Kenneth Baker is the president of ArmsTech, a top military industry provider.
He is a middle-aged, rotund man. He has been taken hostages by the terrorists.
It is unclear what the president of the civilian company ArmsTech was doing at
a nuclear weapons disposal facility.
[23] Director (DARPA Chief)
The chief of the Department of Defense's central research and development
organization--the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). He has
been taken hostage by terrorists. It is unclear what he was doing at a nuclear
weapons disposal facility.
[24] Confirmation (Confirm Nuclear Launch Capability)
A nuclear weapons disposal facility housing numerous nuclear weapons lies on
Shadow Moses Island. The terrorists occupying the island have threatened
America with a nuclear attack. Solid Snake must discover whether or not they
possess the ability to launch nuclear warheads.
[25] Developer (Codec Pioneer)
The Codec radio transmitter was developed by Mei Ling. Implanted in Solid
Snake's ear ossicle, it transmits communications through minute vibrations
inaudible to others. Communications are coded and sent in burst transmissions
for maximum security.
[26] S. Radar (Soliton Radar)
This radar makes use of electromagnetic waves emitted from biological readings.
It employs soliton electromagnetic waves released from a satellite to determine
the interior structure of buildings. However, it cannot be used in small
areas, due to heavy acoustic reflections.
[27] A.O. (Auditory Ossicles)
Three small bones called the malleus, the incus and the stapes lie behind the
eardrum. These are also referred to as "auditory ossicles." They transmit
eardrum vibrations to the inner ear. Solid Snake's Codec transmits speech
through vibrations to the ossicles. This avoids noise leaking outside.
[28] ATGC Company (ATGC)
The private pharmaceutical manufacturer Naomi Hunter works for. A major bio
corporation, it is jointly working on a project with the Department of Defense
to provide medical treatment to the Next-Generation Special Forces. ATGC
stands for the four bases that comprise DNA.
[29] Nanomachine (Nanomachine)
The name of a microscopic MEMS-technology based machine the size of a
micrometer (1/1,000,000 of a meter). Powered by static electricity. By
administering it directly to the body, it can balance hormones, give internal
cycle feedback, check blood loss amounts and perform many other molecule-level
tasks.
[30] Sneaking Suit (Sneaking Suit)
This special outfit for infiltration missions was created with electronic
spinning technology using optic fibers. By clinging to the wearer's body, it
protects internal organs and boosts strength. It also blocks harmful elements,
is equipped with varioius sensors, and can interact with nanomachines.
[31] Nanos (Nanomachine's Effects)
Nanomachines monitor the body's hormones, and more, in real time. They also
keep Solid Snake in optimal health by providing him with things such as
adrenaline, health supplements and sugar. Nanomachines can also vibrate,
providing a massage effect.
[32] Sons (The Sons of Big Boss)
This is the name of the terrorists who take over Shadow Moses Island. Their
leader, Liquid Snake, holds the American military responsible for creating him
as Big Boss's clone in the "Les Enfants Terribles" project.
[33] Uprising (Revolt)
The timing couldn't have been worse. Immediately after Meryl joined up with
the Shadow Moses Island unit, the revolt occurred, a sudden rebellion against
the U.S. Army. Helpless, Meryl is captured by the genome soldiers of the
Next-Generation Special Forces.
[34] Demands (Terrorists' Demands)
When the terrorists calling themselves "The Sons of Big Boss" revolt on Shadow
Moses Island, they make two demands to the American Government. After Metal
Gear is started up, they make two additional demands. As the incident unfolds,
the terrorists' objectives steadily increase.
[35] One Billion (One Billion Dollars)
Upon activating Metal Gear Ray, "The Sons of Big Boss" made this additional
demand: One billion dollars. They planned to use this money to fund the
reconstruction of Big Boss's vision: Outer Heaven.
[36] Serum (FOXDIE Blood Serum)
The only way to escape being targeted for the murderous FOXDIE virus is to
obtain a serum that rejects FOXDIE. Having obtained launch capability of a new
nuclear warhead, the terrorist group "The Sons of Big Boss" demand that the
American government provides this serum.
[37] Remains (Big Boss's Body)
Upon recovery of Big Boss's body, the American government discovers the
existence of the so-called "soldier genes" within. Researchers then began
cloning experiments, transplanting these soldier genes in soldiers.
[38] Revolt (Teaming Up To Revolt)
Not all the genome soldiers in the Next-Generation Special Forces agreed with
FOXHOUND to revolt. Many were brainwashed by Psycho Mantis's mental
manipulation.
[39] Next Gen (Next-Generation Special Forces)
The group comprised of genome soldiers, led by FOXHOUND.
[40] G. Soldier (Genome Soldiers)
The genome soldiers are genetically treated and implanted with soldier genes to
become the world's mightiest unit. Among other things, their senses of hearing
and sight have been enhanced. It is said that Gulf War Syndrome was actually
a side effect of genome soldier experiments.
[41] The Source (Next-Generation Special Forces' Parent Organization)
The genome soldiers, who were genetically engineered to employ implanted
soldier genes, were formed under their parent organization, the U.S. Army's
Force 21. Trained using VR Training, they were reformed as the Next-
Generation Special Forces, and sent into battle.
[42] Force 21 (Force 21)
The next-generation integrated infantry fighting system said to have been under
research and development by the U.S. Army since the 1980's. Digital
transmitters are installed on all their weapons, and each soldiers carries a
computer used to minimize casualties and maximize combat effectiveness by
sharing data. The Next-Generation Special Forces team of genome soldiers
emerged from this project.
[43] M. Disease (Mysterious Disease)
The genome soldiers in the Next-Generation Special Forces suffer from a
mysterious symmetrical illness. Animals by nature are asymmetrical creatures,
but when a problem occurs in an animal's asymmetrical genes, it is believed
certain symptoms occur, such as sudden death. The genome soliders are dying
from the illness.
[44] G.W.S. (Gulf War Syndrome)
In America, it's reported that 80,000 of the 700,000 people engaged in the 1991
Gulf War experienced symptoms such as headaches, memory loss, joint pain, and
depression. This became an issue in the President's advisory council. An
investigation was conducted, but the cause is yet unknown.
[45] Johnny (Johnny Sasaki)
The eldest son in the Johnny line, he inherited the name, "Johnny." He is an
ordinary soldier who appears on numerous occasions in the Metal Gear Solid
series. Meryl steals his clothes, and the resulting chill gives him diarrhea.
[46] Armament (Genome Soldiers' Arsenal)
The genome soldiers carry U.S. Army equipment. However, Sergei Gurlukovich
provided them with Russian army firearms for the revolt, making their armory
look more like a museum of weapons used around the world.
[47] FA-MAS (FA-MAS)
The bullpup compact assault rifle carried by the genome soldiers. Shoots 900 -
1,000 bullets per minute. Resistant to cold and rarely malfunctions. Also
highly accurate, a reason why the French army officially adopted it in the
past.
[48] 5.56 Trumpet (5.56 mm Trumpet)
Another name for the FA-MAS. Called the "trumpet" after its uniquely shaped
silhouette. Standard issue for the genome soldiers.
[49] Grenade (Grenade)
A hand grenade, also called a "pineapple." Explodes five seconds after pin is
pulled. Must be set in the desired location before exploding. Those five
seconds can be used for all sorts of combat methods.
[50] Pineapple (Pineapple)
Another name for a hand grenade. Channels were cut into the surface of
grenades used from World War II to the Vietnam War, in order for the fragments
to break off and scatter upon explosion. Due to their appearance at that time,
grenades have come to be called "pineapples."
[51] PAL System (PAL System)
Permission Active Link. this is a saftey control system equipped on nuclear
missiles. It requires a special detonation code to be deactivated. It is set
to self-destruct if someone tries to break the PAL and use a nuclear warhead.
[52] Two Codes (Two Detonation Codes)
There are two separate detonation codes that allow nuclear weapons to be fired.
the DARPA chief knows one code, and the president of ArmsTech knows the other.
The two men are both being held hostage. The codes must be obtained from both
of them in order to activate nuclear weapons.
[53] Emergency Key (Detonation Code Emergency Cancellation Keys)
Now that the detonation code has been leaked, Solid Snake must obtain the
emergency override keys that cancel the detonation code.
[54] Three Keys (Three Key Types)
There are three different detonation override keys. However, Solid Snake only
obtains a single key. What could this mean...?
[55] Memory Alloy (Shape Memory Alloy)
The PAL override key was made using a shape memory alloy. It changes shape
based on the temperature, turning into three different keys. Using such
environments as a furnace and a freezer to change the key's shape, Solid Snake
deactivates the nuclear weapon's detonation code.
[56] Morph (Change In Shape)
The PAL System's emergency detonation override key is made of a shape-memory
alloy. The key assumes one shape at high temperatures, another shape at
extremely low temperatures, and a third shape at ordinary temperatures. Solid
Snake carries the key to places of different temperatures.
[57] Frozen Ground (Permanently Frozen Ground)
Permanently frozen ground is ground that has been frozen for over two
consecutive years. Located near Alaska's Aleutian Islands, Shadow Moses Island
has an area of permanently frozen ground, and it appears possible to cross over
a glacier to the state of Alaska.
[58] Blast Furnace (Blast Furnace)
Since Shadow Moses Island does not contain an airfield, all facilities must be
self-sufficient. To that end, a blast furnace has been prepared to process
materials. Genome soldiers patrol the scorching hot blast furnace.
[59] FOXHOUND (FOXHOUND)
A hi-tech special ops unit. The special forces that Solid Snake was once a
member of, and Roy Campbell commanded. The best of the best, possessing vast
knowledge and skill. The unit continued after both Snake and Campbell left.
Six FOXHOUND members participated in the Shadow Moses Island revolt.
[60] FOXHOUND M1 (FOXHOUND Member 1)
The former Soviet Union secretly conducted psychic research during the Cold
War era. After the collapse of the Cold War, that technology leaked out of
Russia. Psycho mantis was a psychic soldier who left Russia to operate in
America.
[61] FOXHOUND M2 (FOXHOUND Member 2)
Profiles of FOXHOUND members are highly classified. Disguise infiltration
specialist Decoy Octopus's profile, in particular, is a blank. He is as
mysterious as they come.
[62] FOXHOUND M3 (FOXHOUND Member 3)
Many FOXHOUND members come from minority races. Part Native American, part
Inuit, Vulcan Raven, the shaman who lives in Alaska, is one such member.
[63] FOXHOUND M4 (FOXHOUND Member 4)
After the Cold War ended, some of the militar's leading agents left Russia.
Appearing in conflicts around the world, they were eventually scouted by
America's hi-tech special ops unit FOXHOUND. Revolver Ocelot is one such
member.
[64] FOXHOUND M5 (FOXHOUND Member 5)
Soldiers who no longer have a country to call home create their own identites
in battle. That can be said of all the FOXHOUND members, such as Kurd Sniper
Wolf, a drifter who lost her home country.
[65] Sniper Wolf (Sniper Wolf)
A member of FOXHOUND. A master female sniper. Maximizing her womanly
patience, she can hold her sniping stance for a week straight without eating,
drinking, or moving. A Kurd from Iraq, she sold her services to FOXHOUND. She
feels a likeness and bond with wolf-dogs, bred between a wild wolf and a husky,
and takes care of them inside the base.
[66] Sniper (Sniper)
Using a high-performance sniper rifle and a scope, a sniper can target people
from distances in excess of 100 yards. They can severely cripple enemy forces
by taking out officers, radio operators, gunners, and other key personnel.
It's said that a single good sniper is worth dozens of soldiers.
[67] Ocelot (Revolver Ocelot)
A member of FOXHOUND. Formerly in Spetsnaz. A gun maniac, passionate about
cowboy movies and spaghetti westerns. He served as a torture specialist at a
gulag while in Spetsnaz, where he earned a name for himself among torture
fanatics.
[68] Guns 'N Torture (Pistol & Interrogation Specialist)
Revolver Ocelot can best be described as a Single Action Army fast draw and
sadistic gulag torturer. He has perfected both quick-drawing and torture--as
an art form--and enjoys the aesthetic thrill of war.
[69] Vulcan Raven (Vulcan Raven)
A member of FOXHOUND. From Alaska. Part Native American, part Inuit. Tough
and hardened to cold, he uses a jet fighter's Vulcan cannon as a rifle. Raised
as a shaman, he also possesses supernatural abilities. He is an elite graduate

[70] Shaman (Shaman)
A holy man who heals, drives out demons, and prophesizes using abilities
associated with his spiritual existence. Vulcan Raven possesses power as a
shaman, and communicates with ravens to prophesize.
[71] Decoy Octopus (Decoy Octopus)
A member of FOXHOUND. Details unknown.
[72] Disguise (Master of Disguise)
Decoy Octopus, a master of diguise, is reportedly capable of even disguising
his own blood. He disguises himself as the DARPA chief, but suffers a fatal
reaction to FOXDIE, carried within Solid Snake's body, and dies in disguise.
Even in death, his true identity was not revealed.
[73] Psycho Mantis (Psycho Mantis)
A member of FOXHOUND. Formerly a KGB Psychic Intelligence member. Possesses
pwerful telekinetic and mind-reading abilities. He lost his job after the
Soviet Union collapsed, and went to America. He worked for the FBI for a time,
then became a freelance espionage agent, operating in many different locations,
until he was recruited by FOXHOUND.
[74] Psychic (Psychic Powers)
Psycho Mantis Possesses powerful telekinetic and mind-reading abilities. He
uses his mind-reading ability to interrogate and brainwash victims, and also to
read his enemies' attacks in battle. When battling Psycho Mantis, one must
learn to close one's own mind.
[75] Leader (FOXHOUND's Leader)
Liquid Snake joined FOXHOUND after Solid Snake left. All activites thereafter
were classified and shrouded in secrecy.
[76] Liquid Snake (Liquid Snake)
A man who looks identical to Solid Snake, but possesses the opposite name. He
joined FOXHOUND after the Zanzibar land coup (after Solid Snake left).
[77] Hind-D (Hind-D)
The heavy combat helicopter, the Mil Mi-24D, developed by the Soviet Union's
Mil Design Bureau in 1973. Referred to as the "Hind-D" in western countries.
Possessing overwhelming attack capabilities, it was nicknamed the "Tank
Killer." Liquid Snake's favorite craft.
[78] Diversion (Diversion)
The U.S. Army times a scramble of F-16's (America's main fighter jet) from
Kalena Base with the start of Solid Snake's infiltration mission as a
diversionary tactic. In response, Liquid Snake departs to engage them with his
Hind-D. Apparently, the diversion seems to work.
[79] Kalena (Sortie from Kalena Base)
Just as Solid Snake begins his infiltration mission, the U.S. Army scrambles
a squad of F-16 fighters to Shadow Moses Island. The plan is to begin the
infiltration while the terrorists have their eyes on the F-16's. The diversion
works like a charm.
[80] F16 (F-16)
The backbone of the U.S. Air Force. First flowin in 1974, it was initially
developed for air-to-air combat. However, it was later modified and used for
a variety of missions, including anti-surface, air defense and air superiority
operations. Due to its low price tag, over 4,000 F-16s are used in nations all
over the world.
[81] Rebirth (Outer Heaven Reborn)
In the past, Big Boss established "Outer Heaven" for soldiers who live to
fight. Solid Snake put an end to that dream, but Liquid Snake continues to
pursue it.
[82] Saladin (Saladin The Wise)
The person who took back Jerusalem from the crusaders in Damascus. Considered
a her in Arabic and Islam countries. Refers to Liquid Snake, who is attempting
to rebuild Outer Heaven.
[83] Armament (Vulcan Raven's Arsenal)
Vulcan Raven carries a heavy firearm, fitting for his giant frame. His combat
style is to use elaborate strategies to corner enemies, then kill them with
overwhelming firepower.
[84] M1 Tank
The main tank employed by the U.S. Army. Equipped with numerous electronic
systems, it is capable of electronically locating and pursuing enemies. Its
main 120 mm cannon has a range of over 3,000 yards, capable of demolishing
virtually anything in its path.
[85] M61A1 (M61 A1)
A Vulcan 20 mm machine gun--commonly equipped on aircraft-is mounted on nearly
all American fighter planes. Armed with this machine gun, Vulcan Raven alone
has more firepower than most strike teams.
[86] Alaskan Indian (Native Alaskan)
Based on biological characteristics, humans are divided into three general
groups: African, Caucasian, and Asian. Alaskan Native Americans have many
commonalities with Asians, and are closely related to them.
[87] Raven (Raven)
Ravens are black birds who create their own territories centered on their
nests. When their territory is intruded upon, they threaten and sometimes
attack the intruder. It is also said that the raven possesses prophetic
abilities, and symbolizes the goddess of death in Northern Europe.
[88] Warning (Prophecy of Death)
Vulcan Raven has a raven-shaped mark on his forehead. A raven flies from this
mark and lands on Solid Snake's shoulder. Having witnessed this vision, Solid
Snake receives a death prophecy from Vulcan Raven.
[89] S.A.A. (Single Action Army)
Revolver Ocelot's beloved classic revolver pistol. The first model was made
over 130 years ago. Many people obtain these pistols for collections or as
works of art, but few still use them in actual combat. Its shortcoming lies
in the time it takes to reload.
[90] Wolf Dog (Wolf-Dog)
A mix between wolf and dog. Sometimes used to pull sleds in Alaska. Sniper
Wolf is fond of them, which turns out to be how she meets Otacon.
[91] Cave (Cave)
The cave wolf-dogs inhabit. Wolf-dog pups are born and raised here. Sniper
Wolf is hiding in the vicinity, awaiting Solid Snake.
[92] PSG-1 (PSG-1)

a 10-inch square mark at 100 yards. A semi-automatic rifle, it offers a high
rate of fire.
[93] VS Sniper (Sniper Duel)
A face-off between the female warrior Sniper Wolf and Solid Snake, equipped
with a sniper rifle. A sniper needs tenacious mental endurance, for
performing long-term ambushes, and patience. A horrendous battle unfolds,
where a moment's lapse in attention could mean death.
[94] Snowfield (Snowfield)
The snowfield where Vulcan Raven is waiting in ambush for Solid Snake, aboard
an M-1 tank. He mercilessly aims the tank's cannon at Snake and fires away.
[95] Tranq (Tranquillizer)
Sniper Wolf takes a tranquillizer called diazepam. This anti-anxiety agent
relaxes the muscles and prevents spasms. Taking large quantities of this drug
for extended periods of time can lead to a physical and mental dependence on
it.
[96] Wolf's Mark (Wolf's Mark)
Sniper Wolf has a policy to kill all of her marked prey. Taking an interest
in Solid Snake, she scratches his face with her nails, marking him as her
target.
[97] Meryl Sniped (Meryl Sniped)
Sniper Wolf first shoots Meryl in the leg, immobilizing her, then shoots her
arm. She does not kill her immediately. rather, she lies in wait to target
whoever came to help Meryl. This is how Sniper Wolf operates. The only way
to avoid her trap is to shoot your friend yourself, putting her out of her
suffering.
[98] Captive (Captive Solid Snake)
After defeating Sniper Wolf, Solid Snake rushes to the base to rescue Meryl.
It is, however, just a trap. Surrounded by Wolf and genome soldiers, he is
marked by Wolf and taken prisoner.
[99] Disguised (Disguised As Chief)
Using the body of DARPA chief Donald Anderson, who was tortured to death by
Revolver Ocelot, Decoy Octopus disguised himself perfectly. Even the blood
flowing through his body is identical to the chief's.
[100] Brainwash (Meryl Brainwashed)
Meryl is brainwashed by Psycho Mantis. She approaches Solid Snake and slumps
into him. Then she suddenly tries to commit suicide. Snake is left with no
choice but to knock Meryl out, who, brainwashed, would have killed herself
otherwise.
[101] Brainwash (Brainwashed Genome Soldiers)
Not all the genome soldiers in the Next-Generation Special Forces agreed with
FOXHOUND to revolt. Many are brainwashed by Psycho Mantis's mental
manipulation. Once Solid Snake defeats Psycho Mantis, the brainwashing effects
gradually dissipate.
[102] Uprises (Genome Soldiers' Revolt)
Joining up with Liquid Snake's FOXHOUND team, the Next-Generation Special
Forces, comprised of genome soldiers, revolt on Shadow Moses Island. However,
their revolt is actually spurred by Psycho Mantis's brainwashing.
[103] Niece (Niece)
Roy Campbell has a niece. She was obsessed with FOXHOUND, and joined the Army.
Just after she was transferred as a new recruit to Shadow Moses Island, the
nuclear weapons disposal facility falls into terrorists' hands. Roy Campbell
privately petitions Solid Snake to rescue his niece.
[104] Meryl (Meryl Silverburgh)
Campbell's niece. On the same day she is transferred as a new recruit to
Shadow Moses Island, she is caught up in the FOXHOUND revolt. She helps Snake
stand up against the terrorists. Born into a military family, she concentrated
only on training to become a soldier ever since childhood. As a new recruit,
she has never participated in actual combat. Even though she's a woman, she
can fire a Desert Eagle single handedly.
[105] Cell (Cell)
The cell the DARPA chief is locked away in. Meryl Silverburgh, who did not
participate in the revolt, is being held in the cell next to it. Solid Snake
sneaks into the cell through an air duct.
[106] Rookie (Rookie)
Meryl has no real combat experience. As such, she has never shot anyone with
live ammunition. Upon encountering Solid Snake and battling enemy soldiers,
she matures rapidly.
[107] Yearning (Infatuation with FOXHOUND)
Meryl has a tattoo of the symbol FOXHOUND used when Roy Campbell and Solid
Snake were members of the organization painted on her shoulder. She wants to
take a step closer toward becoming a legendary hero like Solid Snake.
[108] Hero (Legendary Hero)
Legend has it Solid Snake single-handedly resolved both the Outer Heaven crisis
and the Zanzibar Land coup. This is why some soldiers refer to him as a
legendary hero.
[109] Snake/Meryl (Snake & Meryl)
Meryl adored Solid Snake as a legendary hero. Each time she learns more about
the rea him, she is that much more infatuated. Snake also rediscovers in her
innocence things he thought were long lost.
[110] Buttocks (Buttocks)
Solid Snake can't help but notice Meryl's hips as she runs off. The second
time they meet, he finds his eyes wandering down to her derriere.
[111] Disguises (Disguised as a Genome Soldier)
Using her feminine charms, Meryl tricks a genome soldier and strips him of his
clothes. She quickly disguises herself as a genome soldier, but Solid Snake
sees through her guise. Her untrained movements and feminine hips are more
than enough to give her away.
[112] Desert Eagle (Desert Eagle)
A large, automatic handgun. Capable of firing Magnum bullets, it possesses
overwhelming firepower. Its powerful recoil makes it a poor choice for women
who have lesser strength, but it is Meryl's favorite weapon.
[113] Boot Camp (Boot Camp)
In the Marines, new recruits and reservists are called "boots." "Boot camp"
refers to a base where new recruits undergo basaic training. There are two
such bases, one on parris Island in South Carolina, and one in San Diego.
[114] Noise (Psychometric Interference)
When infiltrating the base on Shadow Moses Island, visions of Psycho Mantis
appear in various places, accompanied by what sounds like classical Russian
music. This is actually residual psychometric interference generated by
Psycho Mantis, a kind of mental footprint.
[115] Mental Attack (Mental Attack)
Psycho Mantis's mind-reading ability also includes projecting vision into the
enemy's head. Unaware they are experiencing visions, targets of his mental
attacks feel pain and suffering, and can be driven insane. Incredible
willpower is needed to defend against these attacks.
[116] Of Sadness (Mental Attack Of Sorrow)
Psycho Mantis fills Solid Snake with sorrow. However, Snake has overcome
grief as well. Snake's solitary soul is not shaken by feelings of sorrow.
[117] Reading (Mind Reading)
Psycho Mantis's greatest skill is his mind-reading ability. He even seems to
be able to read the player's game preferences. All of Solid Snake's actions
are most likely seen in advance.
[118] Of Abhorrence (Mental Attack of Hate)
Psycho Mantis fills Solid Snake with hate. However, hatred is not an enemy for
Solid Snake, who has killed countless soldiers in battle--it is an everyday
emotion. Psycho Mantis is shocked at the unimaginable state of Snake's heart.
[119] Of Authority (Mental Attack of Master Miller)
Psycho Mantis's last effort is to send a vision of Master Miller, Solid Snake's
mentor. Master Miller was more than just a teacher to Snake, and was the only
person he truly trusted. However, Snake realizes he is merely a vision just
in the nick of time.
[120] ArmsTech (Armstech)
The world's leading arms manufacturer and seller of every lethality known to
man. However, the company has grown unstable due to recent military
downsizing. After losing its bids on the SDI program and Fighter Plane X, the
company was on the verge of bankruptcy. It then proposed the Metal Gear
project to DARPA, and proceeded with development.
[121] DARPA (DARPA)
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The Department of
Defense's advanced research and development branch. Its name was changed from
ARPA in 1972. It is known for its development of ARPAnet, the precursor to
the internet. Additionally, it performs original technological research in a
wide variety of fields, and contributes to military development.
[122] M.I.C. (Military-Industrial Complex)
DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and ArmsTech were in
collusion. Having missed out on the SDI Program, ArmsTech proposed the Metal
Gear project. They were secretly promoting a nuclear installation plan in an
attempt to overcome a global trend of military downsizing.
[123] Black Projects (Black Projects)
Unofficial, off-the-record project classification. Only known within the
Department of Defense, the Metal Gear project fell into this category and was
kept hidden from the rest of the American government. The real reason for
this was to cover up the collusive relationship between DARPA and ArmsTech.
[124] M.G. (Nuclear-Mounted Walking Tank)
A weapon that can freely traverse all types of geographic locations otherwise
inaccessible by long-distance bombers, submarines and intercontinental
ballistic missiles, to single-handedly perform a nuclear strike--the concept
behind Metal Gear. With the creation of Metal Gear, the world's nuclear
strategy maps must be rewritten and military balance will collapse.
[125] Rex (Metal Gear Rex)
Metal Gear Rex is a bipedal walking weapon developed by Hal Emmerich as a
mobile strategic missile defense measure. It roars like a dinosaur when
activated, and packs enough firepower to overwhelm any opponent. It is tested
on Shadow Moses Island.
[126] Armament (Metal Gear's Arsenal)
In addition to a nuclear weapon-launching rail gun, Metal Gear Rex is equipped
with an 8-pod missile unit and a lser unit for close combat. It also uses a
radar to detect unseen enemies.
[127] Radome (Radome)
Short for "radar dome" Metal Gear Rex captures enemies on radar and launches
attacks. Destroying the Radome would create a chance to damage the otherwise
impregnable Metal Gear Rex, since the pilot must open the cockpit to see.
[128] Railgun (Rail Gun)
This weapon uses a magnetic field to launch ammunition at supersonic
velocities. Collaborated research between Rivermore Labs and ArmsTech
succeeded in miniaturizing the gun. It is mounted on Metal Gear Rex's right
shoulder. Nuclear warheads launched by the rail gun strike their targets
without being detected by thermal radars.
[129] Laboratory (Rivermore Labs)
A nuclear research facility in the city of Rivermore, California. Collaborated
with ArmsTech on Metal Gear Rex research. Developed a rail gun unit that
launches nuclear warheads at ultra-high velocities as well as a new stealth
nuclear weapon.
[130] S. Nuke (Stealth Nuke)
A stealth missile whose jet propulsion is undetectable by enemy military
satellite surveillance. Research for such a missile has been underway since
the 1970s. Metal Gear Rex's rail gun can be used to attack a target without
burning propellant. It marks the birth of stealth nuclear weapons.
[131] Exercise Data (New Nuclear Weapon Exercise Data)
ArmsTech and DARPA conduct a simulated Metal Gear Rex exercise on Shadow Moses
Island. Obtaining this exercise data is the U.S. Army's top-priority mission.
[132] Developer (Metal Gear Creator)
ArmsTech researcher Hal Emmerich is the developer of Metal Gear Rex. He
succeeded in making Metal Gear Rex capable of practical use by carrying out the
research his father suggested. He intended the Metal Gear to be used for
peaceful purposes as a mobile defense measure against strategic missiles.
[133] Emmerich Clan (The Emmerichs and Nuclear Weapons)
Metal Gear developer Hal Emmerich's grandfather was a member of the Manhattan
Project team, which developed the atomic bomb. Furthermore, his father's
birthday was August 6--the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. The
Emmerich family has deep ties with nuclear weapon development.
[134] Manhattan (Manhattan Project)
In 1942, in the midst of World War II, President Roosevelt felt that the key to
victory was to develop an atomic bomb before Nazi Germany could. He ordered a
team of scientists, led by Dr. Oppenheimer, to develop the atomic bomb.
[135] Hal Emmerich (Hal Emmerich)
An ArmsTech developer, Caucasian, wears glasses, friendly. A brilliant weapons
designer. He is taken hostage by terrorists. A fan of Japanimation, he
regularly attends the Otaku Convention, a Japanese animation event held in
America, which is where he got his nickname, Otacon. Where Solid Snake uses
bullets and brawn to fight, Otacon uses wisdom and knowledge.
[136] Otacon (Otacon)
This is a convention held in America that attracts fans of Japanese animation.
Hal Emmerich is a regular attendee. In other words, he is an Otaku, or "geek."
[137] Japanimation (Japanimation)
Hal Emmerich is a Japanese animation fanatic. He especially likes animation
series in which robots appear, such as "Policenauts." This appears to have a
big influence on his ideas for the Metal Gear Rex design.
[138] Otaku (Otaku)
An "otaku" is a person who loves and spends most of their time and income on
animation, manga, games, idols and similar fields of interest. The name is
mostly used to describe fanatics of Japanese animation and science fiction in
the 1980's.
[139] Walking Machine (World's First Bipedal Walking Robot)
The world's first bipedal walking robot was the WABOT-1, developed by Japan's
Waseda University Department of Engineering in 1973. This was what first
interested Otacon in Japan, and inspired his love for Japanimation (Japanese
animation).
[140] Love Her (Love For Sniper Wolf)
When Otacon lays eyes on Sniper Wolf, who has a soft spot for Wolf-dogs, he
falls in love with her kind side, despite Otacon and Sniper Wolf being enemies.
In a conflict where love is not permitted, theirs was a forbidden relationship.
Although painfully aware of each other, they bid farewell knowing death will
part them.
[141] Optical Disc (Optical Disc)
MEtal Gear Rex's combat exercise data is stored on a hard disk. However, the
hard disk is hit by a bullet and damaged. The only remaining data is stored
on an optical disc. ArmsTech president Kenneth Baker entrusts Solid Snake with
the disc.
[142] Destruction (Destruction of Metal Gear Rex)
Solid Snake fires a stinger into the cockpit, shutting down the Metal Gear Rex.
In this miraculous moment, a single person stops a seemingly-invincible bipedal
tank.
[143] Self-Sacrifice (Gray Fox's Self-Sacrifice)
Solid Snake and Gray Fox battle Metal Gear Rex. Using himself as bait, Gray
Fox destroys Metal Gear Rex's weak component, the Radome. Without the Radome,
Metal Gear Rex's cockpit must be opened in order to see enemies visually.
[144] Rescued (Rescuing Meryl)
After Metal Gear Rex is destroyed, Meryl is set free. The story has an
alternate ending in which Meryl dies if Snake cracks under Ocelot's torture.
[145] Handkerchief (Wolf's Handkerchief)
Sniper Wolf uses a handkerchief to treat an injured wolf-dog. Otacon obtains
this handkerchief, and upon seeing Wolf's feminine side, falls in love with
her.
[146] Solitude (Sniper Wolf's Loneliness)
Sniper Wolf, a solitary soldier born among a tribe of people but belonging to
no particular country, can endure individual long-term battles as a solo
sniper. Otacon, who notices her loneliness, is gradually attracted to Wolf.
[147] Kurd (Kurd)
A group of people who inhabit a region encompassing parts of Turkey, Iran and
Iraq. They are a group of people that has been used in the past by other
countries for their own purposes.
[148] Rhodesia (Rhodesia)
The Republic of Rhodesia is located deep within the continent of Africa. Its
independence movement began in 1960, and in 1965 it became an independent
nation. However, due to a predominantly Caucasian government, a Rhodesia
liberation party took to guerrilla warfare with the objective of making it a
native-African governed nation.
[149] Torture (Ocelot's Torture)
Revolver Ocelot derives sheer pleasure from torturing people. He gleans truth
from his subjects by torturing them to the brink of unconsciousness and death.
He is a sadist to the core.
[150] Imprisoned (Imprisoned)
Unable to go along with the revolt, Meryl is thrown into a cell, the DARPA
chief occupying the cell next to hers. Meryl is the first to notice Solid
Snake's infiltration.
[151] Triple Spy (Triple Agent)
Revoler Ocelot is actually a spy for the President, not a terrorist. His job
is to report on the fighting between Solid Snake and Liquid Snake to the third
Snake, Solidus.
[152] Ambition (Ocelot's Ambition)
Revolver Ocelot plots to rebuild Russia. Siding with Colonel Sergei
Gurlukovich, he obtains Hind-D copters and Russian heavy firearms. In return,
he promises to deliver Metal Gear Rex and new nuclear arms to Russia in an
attempt to return the Russian military to its former strength.
[153] Geneva (Geneva Convention)
An international treaty on the protection of those injured, sick and captured,
as well as civilians, during war. The first treaty was established in 1864,
and at present most countries have joined the treaty. It states that prisoners
must be treated morally, forbidding death sentences, torture, threats and the
like.
[154] Reload (Joy of Reloading)
The biggest shortcoming of the Single Action Army is the amount of time it
takes to reload. It must be reloaded after six rounds, but Revolver Ocelot
enjoys the thrill of reloading.
[155] Gurlukovich (Sergei Gurlukovich)
A colonel in the Russian Army, in charge of a powerful private army. Grieved
over Russia's loss in military superiority, he teams up with Revolver Ocelot
to plot the rebuilding of Russia. To that end, he supports the terrorists, the
Sons of Big Boss.
[156] GRU (GRU)
The Russian Federation Army Chief Administration for Intelligence. Reporting
only to the Chief of Staff and the Minister of Defense. It has no obligation
to report directly to the president. Existed since the Soviet Union era.
[157] Spetsnaz (Spetsnaz)
A special forces unit under direct jurisdiction of Russia's Intelligence
agency, the Russian Federation Army Chief Administration for Intelligence
(GRU). Established in the 1970's, when terrorist threats ran rampant
throughout Europe. Using their own special weapons, they were once considered
the world's most elite fighting force.
[158] Shalashaska (Shalashaska)
In his younger days, Revolver Ocelot participated in the Soviet Union's
invasion of Afghanistan. Back then, he was feared by Afghanistan guerillas,
who called him "Shalashaska."
[159] M.W. Operation (Art of Mind Reading)
American government leaders and top executives are counseled in the art of mind
protection to resist mind-reading attempts by psychic soldiers. Not even
Psycho Mantis is able to succeed in his brainwashing attempt.
[160] D. Code B (Detonation Code B)
Two detonation codes must both be known in order to gain nuclear launch
capability. DARPA chief Donald Anderson knows one of the detonation codes.
However, he dies while being tortured.
[161] D. Code A (Detonation Code A)
Two detonation codes must both be known in order to gain nuclear launch
capability. ArmsTech president Kenneth Baker knows one of the detonation
codes. He breaks under torture and blurts out the code.
[162] Success (Success in Obtaining the Detonation Code)
FOXHOUND member Psycho Mantis tries to use his mind-reading abilities to learn
ArmsTech president Kenneth Baker's detonation code. However, Baker resists the
attack on his mind, guarding the code. Switching tactics, Revolver Ocelot
proceeds to torture Baker. Baker cracks, thus leaking the detonation code to
the terrorists.
[163] Failure (Detonation Code Acquisition Failure)
It was believed that the terrorists obtained the DARPA chief's detonation code.
However, the DARPA chief actually died from Revolver Ocelot's torture. Liquid
Snake and his men never found out the detonation code.
[164] Miscalculation (Liquid's Miscalculation)
Liquid Snake captures the president of ArmsTech and the DARPA chief, each of
whom knows one of the two detonation codes, in an attempt to gain nuclear
launch capability. However, the DARPA chief dies during torturing. Liquid
then changes plans and tries to use Solid Snake to get the detonation override
keys.
[165] Disguise (Decoy Octopus's Disguise)
Disguising himself as the DARPA chief, who was tortured to death by Revolver
Ocelot, Decoy Octopus plots to come into contact with Solid Snake. He is
supposedly completely disguised, but...
[166] Corpse (Corpse in Cell)
While being tortured by Revolver Ocelot, Solid Snake sees the dead body of the
real DARPA chief in a cell. That means the DARPA chief he met was an imposter.
If so, then why did the imposter die? The mystery deepens...
[166] Trap (PAL Key Trap)
The Sons of Big Boss fail to obtain both detonation codes for the nuclear
weapon. Liquid Snake then devises a plan to allow Solid Snake, who is
infiltrating the island, to obtain the detonation override key.
[167] Interrogation (Interrogating Snake)
Disguised as the DARPA chief, Decoy Octopus asks Snake if there is any other
way to stop the nuclear weapon besides the detonation codes and the detonation
override key. However, Snake knows no other way. As Decoy Octopus presses
for more information, he suffers a sudden, mysterious heart attack and falls
dead.
[168] Powerless (Overcoming Deterrence)
Both America and the Soviet Union were deterred from initiating a nuclear war
due to the concept of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction), which holds that if
one side launches a nuclear attack, the other side will launch a retaliatory
nuclear attack, and both sides would be destroyed. A race to develop new
nuclear weapons that would guarantee the initiating side's victory was secretly
brewing during the Cold War.
[169] START (START)
The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. This treaty was made between America and
the Soviet Union to reduce a certain amount of intercontinental ballistic
missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and heavy
bombers. This treaty has been concluded two times to date. Negotiations
began for the third START, but unfortunately did not reach a conclusion. The
Shadow Moses Island incident occurs the night before the third START treaty
was scheduled to conclude.
[170] NPT (NPT)
The five countries possessing nuclear weapons (America, the Soviet Union,
France, the United Kingdom, and China) formed a pact to prevent nuclear
armament, called the "Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty" (NPT). This treaty
took effect in 1970. However, with no sanction measures against treaty
violations, it failed to prevent the spread of nuclear proliferation.
[171] SDI Program (SDI Program)
In 1983, American President Reagan proposed the Strategic Defense Initiative
(SDI). This system was designed to shoot down enemy ballistic missiles from
space. It involved positioning rail guns and particle beam weapons in space,
creating a space line of defense. However, the program was terminated without
implementation due to the collapse of the Cold War.
[172] Standstill (Cold War Structure)
After World War II ended, America and the Soviet Union opposed each other in a
struggle to expand their influences. This battle-free face off was labeled
"the Cold War." Armed with enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world, both
sides stared each other down to see who would blink first.
[173] Cold War (Collapse of the Cold War)
Following World War II, the western countries, most prominent of which was
America, entered into a "Cold War" state with the eastern countries, headed by
the Soviet Union. In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed due to internal
instability, marking the end of the Cold War.
[174] Outflow (Nuclear Outflow)
Ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union, management of nuclear facilities
has taken a turn for the worse. Over 100 portable nuclear bombs were reported
missing in the 1990s. It is also said that there is an outflow of nuclear
scientists from the East, due to post Cold War military downscaling.
[175] MUF (MUF)
Material Unaccounted For. Refers to nuclear materials found missing upon
checking inventories. It is said that nuclear weapons are being smuggled to
the black market.
[176] B. Missile (Ballistic Missile)
An anti-surface missile capable of ultra-long-distance flight through inertia.
The world's first ballistic missile was the V2 Rocket, developed by Germany
during World War II. Some present-day intercontinental ballistic missile and
submarine-launched ballistic missiles have a range of 7,500 miles.
[177] Warheads (Nuclear Warhead Storage Facility)
A nuclear weapons disposal facility was built on Shadow Moses Island at the
beginning of the 21st century. However, the nuclear materials storage facility
exceeded its capacity, so active nuclear warheads marked for disposal were also
kept, still intact. FOXHOUND, led by Liquid Snake, targets those nuclear
weapons.
[178] The Truth (The Truth Behind Master Miller)
Liquid Snake disguises himself as Solid Snake's mentor, Master Miller, in order
to manipulate Snake into giving him the detonation override key.
[179] Murder (Master Miller Murdered)
Before disguising himself as Master Miller, Liquid Snake attacks Miller's house
in Alaska, killing him. Liquid is then able to successfully masquerade as
Master Miller, since Miller would have been providing support to Solid Snake
via radio from home.
[180] Nukes (Ability to Launch Nuclear Weapons)
The Sons of Big Boss don't have the capability to launch a nuclear weapon. The
weapon's detonation codes are strictly guarded, and the ArmsTech president has
hidden the override key. However, Liquid Snake tries to gain nuclear launch
capability by leading Solid Snake into a trap.
[181] Snake's Past (Solid Snake's Background)
Solid Snake isn't called a hero for nothing. Soldiers around the world talk of
his legendary deeds. He single-handedly subdued both the Outer Heaven military
force and the Zanzibar Land coup. Afterwards, he left FOXHOUND to live out a
quiet life in seclusion.
[182] Past (Confrontation with Past)
Solid Snake confronts his own past on Shadow Moses Island. Shadows of his
former superior Gray Fox and his old enemy Big Boss await him.
[183] Ninja (Cyborg Ninja)
Part machine, part man, this phantom ninja is equipped with a katana, stealth
camouflage, and a reinforced skeleton. His consciousness is unstable, and
lacks self-awareness. He seems to feel a special connection with Solid Snake.
His true identity remains a mystery...
[184] Intruder (Stealth Intruder)
The genome soldiers say a mysterious intruder was spotted inside the Shadow
Moses Island base. It would seem this trickster is neither Solid Snake nor a
FOXHOUND member. Puzzling indeed...
[185] Stealth (Stealth Camouflage)
This camouflage technology employs optical refraction processes to blend the
user in as one with surrounding environments. It was developed by Dr. Hal
Emmerich, of ArmsTech. Aside from Dr. Emmerich himself, the Cyborg Ninja and
some genome soldiers wear this camouflage.
[186] Ninja Arms (Cyborg Ninja's Arsenal)
Covered from head to toe in an exoskeleton and hidden with Stealth Camouflage,
the Cyborg Ninja cuts enemies in two with a single slash of his bullet-
deflecting katana. He is equipped with the strongest arsenal possible for
close combat.
[187] Exoskeleton (Exoskeleton)
This cybernetic, flesh-replacement technology improves combat efficiency.
Employing electric actuators, artificial flesh, and pressurized air from air
compressors, it can boost human strength several times over. This is one of
the Cyborg Ninja's enchancements.
[188] Katana (Katana)
A blade created using ancient Japanese methods. The weapon used by the Cyborg
Ninja. Capable of deflecting bullets and cutting through almost anything, the
katana has been revered from ancient times as more than just a weapon--as a
symbol of a warriors soul.
[189] One Hand (Revolver Ocelot's Hand)
Revolver Ocelot's hand is cut off by the Cyborg Ninja's katana. Following
the Shadow Moses incident, Ocelot transplants Liquid Snake's right hand, but
this action alters his fate.
[190] Relation (Neither Enemy Nor Friend)
"Neither enemy nor friend"--The Cyborg Ninja draws his katana and utters these
words in a confrontation with Solid Snake. Their relationship transcends that
of allies and enemies--a clash of two people, two souls. They were destined
to face each other.
[191] Deepthroat (Deepthroat)
This mysterious man helps Solid Snake during the Shadow Moses Island
infiltration mission. He uses the same name as the Waterage informant. He
intervenes in Snake's burst transmissions, providing hints.
[192] Watergate (Watergate Scandal)
During the presidential election of 1972, a group of people were caught
attempting to install eavesdropping devices in the Watergate Building in
Washington DC. The group had ties to then-President Nixon. President Nixon
tried to cover up the incident, but it developed into one of America's biggest
scandals.
[193] Warning (Deepthroat's Warning)
Deepthroat cuts in on Solid Snake's Codec and warns him about the traps on
Shadow Moses Island. He informs Snake of the stealth-camouflaged minefield.
[194] Minefield (Minefield)
Claymore landmines masked with stealth camouflage have been scattered about a
snowfield. It is important to either use a mine detector while walking to
avoid the mine, or traverse the field very carefully, at a crawl.
[195] Claymore Landmine (Claymore Landmine)
Unlike past landmines that were buried underground, these anti-trespassing
mines are placed directly on the surface. Upon explosion, 700 1.2 mm steel
balls blast the vicinity. Often covered with stealth camouflage.
[196] Mine Detector (Mine Detector)
A device that uses a soliton radar to detect landmines in the vicinity. It's
capable of detecting mines hidden with stealth camouflage as well. Even today,
over 20,000 people a year worldwide are victimized by anti-trespassing mines.
It takes far more time and effort to remove mines than to place them.
[197] New FOXHOUND (New FOXHOUND)
For all intents and purposes, the hi-tech special ops unit FOXHOUND ceased to
function following Big Boss's death...until Roy Campbell stepped in as the new
commander. Later, the organization fell into the hands of Liquid Snake, who
recruited soldiers with extraordinary abilities from around the globe, gaining
the world's attention.
[198] MSX2 (Metal Gear Series)
Two titles in the Metal Gear series depicting Solid Snake's battles, have been
released to date. Those stories are key to this title.
[199] Old FOXHOUND (Original FOXHOUND)
Serving in numerous missions during the Cold War, Big Boss was a living legend.
In 1971, a hi-tech special ops unit was put together for him to command.
Specializing in solo infiltration operations, the unit was named "FOXHOUND."
Solid Snake joined the unit in the mid-'90s.
[200] Outer Heaven (Outer Heaven)
Originating in South Africa, it turns out that Outer Heaven is actually a
private military corporation that exports mercenaries to battlegrounds. Hard-
core mercenaries who live to fight flock to the organization. Possessing a
nuclear-mounted bipedial walking tank called Metal Gear, Outer Heaven poses a
terrorist threat to the entire world.
[201] Zanzibar Land (Zanzibar Land)
An armed military group orchestrated a coup d-etat in a small central Asian
country. The result is the emergence of a militant state called Zanzibar Land.
The leader of this state is Big Boss, thought to have died in Outer Heaven.
The state raids repositories of nuclear weapons stored for disposal around the
world.
[202] Metal Gear 2 (Metal Gear 2 - Solid Snake)
Zanzibar Land makes its presence known in central Asia. Using terrorists, they
kidnap a Czech scientist. FOXHOUND calls Solid Snake out of retirement for
another solo infiltration operation. (1990 "Metal Gear 2 - Solid Snake")
[203] Metal Gear D (Metal Gear D)
This nuclear-mounted bipedal walking tank is a scaled-up version of the TX-55
Metal Gear--larger in size and fortified with Chobham armor--developed, again,
by Dr. Madnar.
[204] Metal Gear (Metal Gear)
Deep in South Africa lies the military stronghold of Outer Heaven. The new
FOXHOUND agent Solid Snake is sent in on a mission to destroy this mercenary
export organization.
[205] TX-55MG (TX-55 Metal Gear)
The TX-55 Metal Gear is a nuclear-mounted bipedal walking tank capable of
launching nuclear missiles from anywhere in the world. This nightmarish
weapon was developed by Dr. Petrovich Madnar. Solid Snake battles this weapon,
and succeeds in destroying it by attacking its weakness--its legs.
[206] Rescue (Rescue (Outer Heaven))
FOXHOUND ace Gray Fox failed in infiltrating Outer Heaven and was taken
captive. Solid Snake, who was new to FOXHOUND, rescued him. That was when he
first learned of the existence of Metal Gear.
[207] Duel (Single Combat (Zanzibar Land))
Deep in the heart of Zanzibar Land, Solid Snake faces off against his former
superior, Gray Fox, who had been swayed by Big Boss's ambitions. With their
lives on the line, the two battle each other in unarmed combat in a minefield.
[208] Gray Fox (Gray Fox)
A veteran FOXHOUND soldier carrying the name "FOX" in his codename. Captured
while infiltrating Outer Heaven, he was freed by Solid Snake. He was persuaded
by Big Boss to join the fight against Snake in Zanzibar Land. It was there
that he supposedly died...
[209] Fox Codename (Codename FOX)
FOXHOUND members carry codenames. Their codenames have meanings, and one of
the highest names is "FOX." Gray Fox was one of the few who carried that name.
[210] Frank Jaeger (Frank Jaeger)
Gray Fox's real name. Naomi Hunter's adopted brother. He met the orphan Naomi
while fighting in the African battlefront as a youth, prior to joining
FOXHOUND. He met Big Boss in Outer Heaven and was invited to America, but
disappeared in Zanzibar Land.
[211] Shady Business (FOXHOUND's Secret)
The Cyborg Ninja was a guinea pig in a genetic surgery experiment for the
genome soldiers. Implanted with the Soldier Genes, the Cyborg Ninja's mental
balance collapses and he loses his memory. He then flees the research lab.
[212] Experiments (Gene Experiments)
These experimental operations were performed by Dr. Clark on Gray Fox's body.
Gray Fox had already died in Zanzibar Land, but Dr. Clark and the Army
forcefully revived him. He was drugged and operated upon, also explaining
the Cyborg Ninja's lack of self-awareness.
[213] Going Mad (The Cyborg Ninja's Obsession)
Although the Cyborg Ninja lost all sense of self, he did retain one thing--his
lust for battle. He still can't forget how fulfilled he felt when battling
Solid Snake in unarmed combat. He is driven by the urge to fight Snake once
again.
[214] Meaningless (Meaningless Life)
Refers to the life of the Cyborg Ninja, who once died in Zanzibar Land but was
forcefully revived for research. A warrior to the core, he only felt truly
alive when in combat. During the final battle with Metal Gear Rex, his life
burned out for good.
[215] Dr. Clark (Dr. Clark)
A doctor commissioned by the U.S. Army to secretly research and develop
genome soldiers. He uses former FOXHOUND operative Gray Fox's remains for his
experiments, which involve implanting soldier genes into human bodies. He dies
two years prior to the Shadow Moses Island incident.
[216] Her Parents (Naomi's Parents)
As Frank Jaeger is dying, he confesses to Snake that he was actually the one
who murdered Naomi's parents in battle as a youth. Frank looked after the
orphan Naomi to atone for what he had done.
[217] Her Brother (Naomi & Brother)
Naomi was an orphan of the African battlefront. On the verge of starving to
death, she was discovered by the young soldier Frank Jaeger, who adopted her as
a little sister. After meeting Big Boss, she moves to America, but her brother
Frank dies in Zanzibar Land.
[218] True I.D. (Naomi Hunter's True Identity)
Naomi Hunter's age and ethnicity are unknown. Frank Jaeger and Big Boss bought
her citizenship when she was an orphan child and raised her to adulthood. To
Naomi, Frank Jaeger was proof of her very existence.
[219] Injection (Naomi's Injections)
Naomi Hunter performs several injections on Solid Snake before he leaves on his
mission. She administers things such as nanomachines and antifreeze peptides,
to protect his body from the cold. This is also the moment that FOXDIE is
injected into him, which causes so much trouble later.
[220] FOXDIE (FOXDIE)
The ultimate assassination weapon developed by the Department of Defense. The
virus, programmed with the genes of the targets to be killed, is administered
into the body of a vector (pollinator). When the vector approaches the target,
the virus activates. It induces a cardiac arrest, killing the target.
[221] Vector (Vector (Pollinator))
A vector is an organism that transmits a pathogen. Solid Snake is the vector
that carries the murderous FOXDIE virus. He brings death to Shadow Moses
Island.
[222] Treachery (Suspected of Treachery)
Solid Snake is a carrier of a murderous virus. A virus that is also targeting
him. Realizing that someone on his support team betrayed him, Snake is filled
with suspicion. Who did it? Why him? To what end...?
[223] Targets (FOXDIE Targets)
A target's genes can be programmed into the murderous FOXDIE virus. Once in
the vicinity of the vector, the target is infected by the virus through
airborne transmission, and displays symptoms identical to heart failure.
[224] T: Solid Snake (Target: Solid Snake)
Solid Snake is also recorded as a FOXDIE target. Naomi Hunter did this to
exact revenge on him. She focused her hatred of Snake, for killing her foster
brother Gray Fox, into the FOXDIE virus.
[225] T: FOXHOUND (Target: FOXHOUND)
The terrorist group "The Sons of Big Boss" are, of course, also FOXDIE targets.
Since they were once part of the U.S. Army, their genetic maps are contained
on file.
[226] T: Hostage (Target: Hostages)
The first FOXDIE targets are the two hostages promoting the Metal Gear and new
nuclear arms plan. By killing them with the FOXDIE virus, the Department of
Defense could make it look like they were merely victims of a terrorist attack,
staging a cover-up.
[227] Death DARPA (DARPA Chief's Death)
Actually, it is the FOXHOUND master of disguise Decoy Octopus who is infected
by FOXDIE and dies. The real chief is already dead, having been tortured to
death by Revolver Ocelot in order to get him to leak the nuclear detonation
code.
[228] Death Arms (ArmsTech President's Death)
The president of ArmsTech is also a FOXDIE target. Upon telling Solid Snake
the location of the detonation override key, he suddenly shows signs of
suffering. He knew of the existence of FOXDIE. He dies knowing it was the
Department of Defense who betrayed and killed him.
[229] Death Decoy (Decoy Octopus's Death)
Decoy Octopus is disguised as the DARPA chief, but is infected with FOXDIE and
dies in disguise. All the FOXHOUND members are targets.
[230] Death Liquid (Liquid's Death)
Liquid Snake is also a FOXDIE target. However, there are many bugs in the
FOXDIE programs, and some targets do not die immediately after being infected
by airborne transmission. It's unclear whether or not Liquid's death is
really caused by FOXDIE.
[231] FOXDIE Truth (Truth Behind FOXDIE)
Before beginning the mission, medical staff chief Naomi Hunter injects
nanomachines into Solid Snake's body. This is when the murderous virus FOXDIE
is injected into him. Snake is sent to Shadow Moses Island as a walking
assassination weapon.
[232] Apoptosis (Apoptosis)
When a cell's genes are damaged, the dysfunctional cell automatically breaks
down and is destroyed. Such a cell appears to commit suicide. This behavior
is referred to as "apoptosis."
[233] Heart Attack (Cardiac Arrest)
A spasm that occurs when the coronary artery, which pumps blood to the muscles,
is clogged. No longer able to deliver oxygen, the heart is damaged, necrosis
occurs, and it becomes unable to contract. The DARPA chief's death shows
symptoms identical to those of cardiac arrest. However, he is actually a
victim of the FOXDIE virus.
[234] Retrovirus (Retrovirus)
Normal viruses contain DNA, but a retrovirus contains RNA as genetic data, as
well as a reverse transcriptase. Upon invading a cell, it transmits its own
genetic RNA data into the target cell's DNA, causing it to produce more of
the intruding virus.
[235] Dormancy (FOXDIE's Dormancy)
The FOXDIE virus, programmed by Naomi Hunter, does not kill Solid Snake, but
rather enters a dormant state. Snake manages to escape from his predicted
death and begins to live his second life.
[236] Mission End (Mission Ended)
Even after Liquid Snake's defeat, the murderous FOXDIE virus still remains
inside Solid Snake's body. Being the final target, Snake's fate hangs on the
line...However, FOXDIE does not activate. Snake lives on.
[237] Ending (Ending)
Solid Snake learns that people are not slaves of a fate ordained by their
genes, but that they truly do carve their own destinies. Surrounded by the
sky, the ocean and the caribou, he sets out with Meryl for the beautiful
land of Alaska. "Time to start enjoying life!"
[238] Alaska (Alaska)
The northernmost state in America. The name "Alaska" is derived from the
Aleutian word "Alakshak" which means "peninsula." Solid Snake was living a
secluded life in Twin Lakes, located between Alaskan and Alucian mountain
ranges.
[239] Real Name (Solid Snake's Real Name)
Beginning a new life with Meryl, Solid Snake reveals his real name. "Solid
Snake" was just a codename used in battle. Real life is to be lived with one's
true name.
[240] Op. FOXDIE (Operation FOXDIE)
Secretary of Defense Jim Houseman proposes "Operation FOXDIE," a plan in which
the murderous FOXDIE virus is to be injected into Snake's body to wipe out all
the terrorists. Naomi Hunter, who holds a grudge against Snake for killing
her brother, is also involved in the project.
[241] Jim Houseman (Jim Houseman)
The Secretary of Defense. He is in overall command of the anti-terrorist
sneaking mission, issuing orders from the AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control
System) plane flying above Shadow Moses Island. He unofficially authorized
the Metal Gear project, and proposed Operation FOXDIE to cover up all evidence
of his involvement.
[242] Pentagon (Pentagon)
The general headquarters of the United States Department of Defense,
intergrating both national defense and military affairs. This building,
located in Washington, DC, has five sides, which is the reason it is called
the "Pentagon." Housing the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, it is one
of the largest governmental buildings in America.
[243] Air Strikes (Air Raid)
Upon verifying the destruction of Metal Gear Rex at the hands of Solid Snake,
Secretary of Defense Jim Houseman dispatches B-2 stealth bombers from Kalena
Base in a cover-up effort. His plan is to use B61-13 surface-piercing
tactical nuclear bombs to destroy all evidence of the mission. Of course, all
history of Solid Snake and the existence of the terrorists would disappear in
the process as well.
[244] Air Strike (Air Strike Squadron)
The air raid squad deployed by Jim Houseman is comprised of state-of-the-art
stealth bombers. Rendering Shadow Moses Island's interceptors ineffective, he
attempts to use nuclear bombs to execute a perfect cover-up operation.
[245] B2 Bomber (B-2 Bomber)
The B-2A Spirit is a tactical heavy stealth bomber capable of delivering both
conventional and nuclear munitions. Twenty-one of these giant flying wings are
currently in operation, each one named after an American state.
[246] F117 (F-117)
The F-117 Stealth Fighter is the first stealth fighter to be put to practical
use. Appearing to have been pieced together by flat panels, each panel is
angled so that radar waves do not bounce back to their source. Instead of
counter-air weapons, it uses laser-guided bombs to strike targets.
[247] Dismissal (Campbell's Discharge)
Upon learning that an air raid is to be carried out on Shadow Moses Island,
Commander Roy Campbell uses his authority to issue a strike abort order,
causing confusion in the chain of command. He did this to buy Solid Snake
enough time to escape, but Jim Houseman ordered his discharge on the grounds of
leaking classified information and treason.
[248] White House (White House)
The official residence of the President of the United States and his family.
It also serves as a symbol of the American government itself. In the end, it
was the American government that sparked the Shadow Moses Island incident,
which developed into a major off-the-record affair.
[249] George Sears (President George Sears)
The President of the United State at the time of the Shadow Moses Incident.
He is actually the person who promoted the Metal Gear project, and, because of
this, is forced to resign the presidency by the Patriots, who rule America from
behind the scenes. His successor is James Johnson.
[250] Air Raid (Aborted Air Raid)
Due to Jim Houseman's dismissal and Roy Campbell's return to duty, the air raid
ordered by the Department of Defense on Shadow Moses Island is narrowly
averted. Their lives spared, Solid Snake, Otacon, and Meryl were encompassed
by the beautiful nature of Shadow Moses Island.
[251] Jim's Dismissal (Jim Houseman's Discharge)
President George Sears used his executive power to discharge Secretary of
Defense Jim Houseman. The various projects Houseman backed, including the
development of Metal Gear, the development of a new generation of nuclear
warheads, and the Shadow Moses incident, had become problematic.
[252] He's Back (Campbell's Reappointment)
Commander Roy Campbell is immediately returned to duty thanks to a hotline with
the President. However, both the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) and the
NSA (National Security Agency) place a mark on Solid Snake and his companions
in order to learn what really went down. Roy Campbell puts his position on the
line and instructs Snake to flee.
[253] Solidus Snake (Solidus Snake)
President George Sears's true identity is Solidus Snake. He is the third clone
created from Big Boss's genes. He shares the same destiny as Solid Snake. He
rebels against the "Patriots" who rule America from the shadows.
[254] Opposition (Opposing the Patriots)
The Patriots is an organization that secretly manipulates America's economy,
religion, and politics. Rumor has it that all the Patriots are now dead, and
only the system is self-propagating. Solidus Snake--the third of his
siblings--opposes the organization.
[255] Remains (The Remains of Big Boss)
The legendary mercenary's remains, containing soldier genes, demanded by The
Sons of Big Boss. They believe that, with his body, they can cure the genome
soldiers' sickness and change the destiny of Liquid Snake, who inherited
cursed genes.
[256] Murder (Murdered by Solid Snake)
Solid Snake and Big Boss face each other twice--at the military stronghold
Outer Heaven, and in Zanzibar Land in central Asia. Solid Snake defeats Big
Boss during their second encounter, but Big Boss's death was only the
beginning...
[257] Big Boss (Big Boss)
Former FOXHOUND commander. An American. He participated in the LRRP (Long
Range Reconnaissance Patrol) in Vietnam, and later was active with SOG
(Special Operations Group), the Green Berets, and the Wild Geese. He became
the first FOXHOUND commander, then later established the military stronghold
Outer Heaven. He disappeared after Solid Snake saw through his dual life.
[258] Founder (Original FOXHOUND Commander)
The U.S. Army appointed Big Boss, who had previously performed infiltration
missions in FOX, to be the commander of the original FOXHOUND. Big Boss had
already begun planting the seeds of Outer Heaven, thus assuming two personas--
FOXHOUND commander and the founder of Outer Heaven.
[259] Soldier Genes (Soldier Genes)
These genes, discovered in Big Boss's body, possess the perfect balance for the
ultimate soldier. There are over 60 types. It's thought that raising soldiers
implanted with these genes will create the world's strongest army.
[260] Human Genome (Human Genome)
The entire genetic material of an organism is referred to as its genome. The
Human Genome project set out to map all three billion base strings contained in
the human genome, and succeeded in 2003.
[261] Clone (Clone)
The word "clone" is derived from the Greek word, "Klon" meaning twig. It
refers to a biological term that means "a body or cell(s) that is genetically
identical". There are two methods of producing mammal clones: using cells
early in development after insemination, and using adult body cells. Embryonic
cells and adult body cells both contain a single set of genes necessary to form
an adult body.
[262] Les Infants (Les Enfants Terribles Project)
In the 1970s, a project was begun to artificially produce the ultimate
soldiers. The legendary soldier Big Boss, who was still alive, was selected to
be the model specimen. At the time he had been rendered inactive from a combat
injury, so his body cells were used to create soldiers. The two soldiers that
were created both carried the name "Snake": Solid and Liquid...
[263] 70's (Shame of the '70s)
The military research performed in the '70s under the "Les Enfants Terribles"
project involved using clone technology to develop soldiers. However, this was
a "black project" never recorded in history. As such, it was shut down to
avoid embarrassment.
[264] Super Babies (Super Baby Method)
This method involves separating fertilized ovum created using cell nuclei, and
placing eight clone babies in a uterus. Later, six of the fetuses are removed
and disposed of, optimizing growth potential for the remaining two.
[265] Fate (Superior/Inferior)
Liquid Snake believed he was born from the inferior genes of Big Boss. He felt
he carried a dark fate, and his life was cursed. As such, he revolted and
turned terrorist.
[266] Comparison (Light And Darkness)
Solid Snake grew to be a legendary soldier because of his "superior" genes.
Liquid Snake, on the other hand, continually lived a life of darkness due to
his "inferior" genes. Liquid called this difference in living "light and
darkness."
[267] Twins (Twin Brothers)
Solid Snake and Liquid Snake, who inherited the genes of the world's greatest
soldier, Big Boss. The two are identical clones. Liquid Snake, who knew of
this, calls Solid Snake, "twin brother."
[268] Brother (Hidden Brother)
After all the battles are over, Solidus Snake, who is the third inheritor of
Big Boss's genes, explains that Liquid is "superior" and Solid "inferior."
[269] Legendary (Legendary Mercenary)
Big Boss succeeded in over 70 infiltration operations, including infiltration
of the Soviet Union. He was appointed Commander of Operations of the hi-tech
unconventional warfare special ops unit, "FOXHOUND." After leaving the U.S.
Army, he fought in battles around the world as a mercenary. In time, he became
a near mythical being.
[270] Op Snake Eater (Operation Snake Eater)
America launched this infiltration operation to obtain the "Philosopher's
Legacy." Big Boss, his mentor The Boss, and Ocelot were all involved in the
operation. All three carried out the mission while hiding the fact that they
were went in by America.
[271] FOX (FOX)
Under secret orders by America, Big Boss snuck into the Soviet Union during
the Cold War. This operation was backed by a special ops unit specializing in
solo infiltration called "FOX." Big Boss later formed FOXHOUND based on this
organization.
[272] Inheritance (Philosopher's Legacy)
This refers to the vast amount of assets the Philosophers accumulated. There
is enough wealth to start a world war several times over. Using this, Colonel
Volgin of the Soviet Union developed the Shagohod--Metal Gear's prototype--and
used the Cuban Missile Crisis to intimidate America.
[273] Philosophers (The Philosophers)
This shadow organization was formed by key figures in America, the Soviet
Union, and China after World War II. They possessed a vast fortune, but due to
this the members were assassinated one by one until only the fortune remained.
This was the parent organization of the Patriots.
[274] Their Reunion (The Philosophers' Reunion)
The Philosophers were in disarray, their members dispersed or killed. World
War II hero The Boss used her abilities to try to regroup the Philosophers, in
an attempt to unite the world as one. However, Big Boss put an end to her
noble ambitions.
[275] Patriots (The Patriots)
Began as a secret council of powerful men who gathered to rule America. All
its members are long dead, but the beliefs that compelled them live on, much
like beliefs that gave birth to the country itself.
[276] Project S3 (S3 Project)
This refers to the Patriot's plan to use the optic neural AI "GW" which acts as
the brain stem of the Arsenal Gear, on the entire world. Their ultimate goal
remains a mystery...
[277] Selection (Selection for Societal Sanity)
The S3 Project is actually a super-scale data processing system for regulating
information globally. The system's purpose is to manage all digital
information by using the optic neural AI "GW," manipulating it to serve the
purpose of the Patriots.
[278] S3 (Solid Snake Simulation)
One of the truths behind the S3 Project is that it also provides the ultimate
VR Training program. It is a program designed to artificially create the
world's greatest soldier, Solid Snake. By recreating the Shadow Moses
incident, The Patriots attempt to train Raiden to become the ultimate soldier.
The memory-building simulation succeeded in generalizing this simulation
system. It is the system that you are currently playing.
[279] Shadow Moses (Shadow Moses Incident)
Hostages killed, the appearance of the Ninja, the reappearance of FOXDIE...
Everything Raiden experiences at Big Shell is a repeat of what occurred during
the Shadow Moses Island Incident. This is a simulation staged by the Patriots
for Raiden.
[280] Raiden (Raiden)
A new FOXHOND warrior born in VR Training, which reconstructs memory. His
first mission is an infiltration operation into Big Shell. He learns how to
survive on the battlefield from his encounter with Solid Snake. The main
character of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.
[281] VR Training (VR Training)
This refers to the training program that digitally trains soldiers. The genome
soldiers of Shadow Moses Island and Raiden of the new FOXHOND all went to
battle after completing VR Training.
[282] GW (GW)
Arsenal Gear's true form, the GW is an optic neural AI computer capable of
appropriating all power, including nuclear weapons, from America's four
military branches. Its full potential has not been tested yet, as it has not
been connected to the world at large.
[283] Arsenal Gear (Arsenal Gear)
A weapon of terror. "Arsenal" means a storage facility for weapons. The
entire Big Shell plant is a Metal Gear, and is equipped with thousands of
missiles including nuclear warheads, guarded by a fleet of mass-produced Metal
Gear Ray units--truly an arsenal. Its core is controlled by an optic neural
AI called "GW."
[284] Metal Gear Ray (Metal Gear Ray)
The Marines developed a Metal Gear of their own to combat other Metal Gears.
However, it is stolen by Revolver Ocelot. The Patriots redesign it as the
mass-production model Metal Gear Ray. Vast amounts of these are deployed to
defend Arsenal Gear.
[285] Dead Cell (Dead Cell)
An anti-terrorist task force that reports directly to the President. Their
primary purpose is to launch surprise attacks on friendly complexes for the
ultimate terrorist simulation.
[286] S.O.L. (Sons of Liberty)
The name the terrorists occupying the offshore processing plant Big Shell call
themselves. This name stems from the group of Englishmen who defied their
country and established the United States of America in the 18th Century.
Their true identity is the anti-terrorist task force Dead Cell, and their
leader is said to be Solid Snake.
[287] Hostage (Hostage)
Occupying an offshore plant, Dead Cell holds current American President James
Johnson hostage. Raiden, a member of the new FOXHOUND, embarks on a solo
infiltration mission to free him.
[288] Big Shell (Big Shell Occupation)
Built to process pollution from a sunken tanker in the Hudson Bay, Big Shell
is the largest offshore processing plant in the world. A group of armed
militants calling themselves "the Sons of Liberty" take over the plant. They
hold the President hostage, there on a plant inspection, and demand that the
United States of America pays them 30 billion dollars in ransom.
[289] James Johnson (Current President James Johnson)
James Johnson is the 44th President of the United States of America. He is
captured by Dead Cell while inspecting the offshore processing plant, Big
Shell.
[290] Carrying Goods (Only Personal Item)
The only item Solid Snake carries with him, against orders, on his sneaking
mission is his pack of cigarettes. Hiding them inside his stomach, he secretly
sneaks them into Shadow Moses Island.
[291] Procure (Equipment Procured in Field)
The general policy for sneaking missions is to procure all equipment in the
field, leaving no traces behind. Solid Snake continues his infiltration while
searching for weapons in the field.
[292] Cigarette (Cigarettes)
Solid Snake hid his favorite brand of cigarettes inside his stomach and
privately smuggled them into Shadow Moses Island on his infiltration mission.
Go easy on them; smoking may cause cancer.
[293] I. Sensor (Infrared Sensors)
There is a network of infrared sensors inside the Shadow Moses Island base.
Solid Snake uses cigarette smoke to make the infrared rays visible so he can
avoid them while proceeding.
[294] C4 (C4 Explosive)
A clay-like military plastic explosive. Explodes with 1.4 times more speed
and damage then dynamite. Requires an ignition device to explode, making it
highly safe. Will not explode even if exposed to fire.
[295] MP5Sd5 (MP5 SD5)
This submachine gun holds 15-30 9mm bullets. Its initial development beginning
in the mid 1960's, it is still employed toyda in various nations around the
world as the standard firearm for police, SWAT and anti-terrorist teams.
[296] Nikita (Nikita)
Commonly called the Nikita Missile. A compact reconnaissance missile, its
flight can be controlled by remote control while watching live video from the
miniature CCD camera mounted on its warhead.
[297] SOCOM Pistol (SOCOM Pistol)
The handgun used in the special forces. A 45-caliber with a laser aiming
module attached beneath its frame for nighttime combat. A special suppressor
(silencer) can be attached for soundless attacks.
[298] Stinger (Stinger)
A portable surface-to-air missile. Equipped with a heat-seeking device, the
missile automataically pursues its target. Supplied to Afghan guerillas by
America, the weapon was feared by Soviet pilots.
[299] Chaff (Chaff Grenade)
A special hand grenade that shoots extremely fine metallic shards that can jam
electronic devices. Can be detonated without the enemy noticing.
[300] N. Goggle (Night Vision Goggles)
Goggles that electronically amplify light. Since it converts light into
electronic signals at an amplification rate of approximately 100,000, a starry
night can probably be seen as clearly as day. However, nothing is visible in
pitch blackness.
[301] Cardboard Box (Cardboard Box)
The symbol of Solid Snake's infiltration mission. Snake hid inside a cardboard
box to trick enemies during the Outer Heaven revolt and the Zanzibar Land coup
incidents. It can be used as a ploy to catch enemies by surprise, who never
dream someone might be hiding inside!
[302] M9 (M-9)
A U.S. Army handgun. This is referred to as the "M-9" in the U.S. Army.
Development first began in 1970, and it remains the standard automatic handgun
used around the world.
[303] PAN Card (PAN Card)
A system that transmits data by applying a minute amount of electrical current
to salt flowing through the human bloodstream, using it as a conductor. A
real-life system developed by IBM, it is currently undergoing research for
practical application. If you have this card, locks will automatically open.
[304] Camera (Camera)
Solid Snake discovers a camera while infiltrating Shadow Moses Island. In
Metal Gear Solid for Playstation, it could be used to take pictures of any
location.
[305] S. Photograph (Ghost Picture)
While taking pictures at various places in Metal Gear Solid for Playstation,
one of the pictures had a ghost in it. One explanation is that the "ghost"
is actually a manifestation of all the development team's hard work...
[306] Gas Mask (Gas Mask)
A twin lens gas mask. Comprised of two lenses, the outer side is made of
reinforced plastic, while the inner side is made of acelate fabric. It is also
designed to be fog-proof. The wearer can drink water without removing the mask
and is equipped with a voice emitter.
[307] Poisonous Gas (Poison Gas)
In one area of the base, an organic phosphorous nerve agent is released in the
air. Upon contact with the skin, the agent will permeate the body and take
effect. it causes nausea, fever, convulsions, and difficulty breathing,
followed by death within 15 seconds.
[308] Theme (Theme)
The common theme depicted in the 3 chapters of Metal Gear Solid series is
"What will be left for the next generation?" The thing representing this
common theme differs from game to game, to keep players engaged.
[309] Scene (Scene)
The "S" in MGS (Metal Gear Solid) also stands for "Scene." The scene in each
era changes with politics and trends, fading away. A story that isn't recorded
in history, one that can only be depicted in a certain era. This is the theme
of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
[310] Gene (Gene)
The "G" in MGS (Metal Gear Solid) also stands for "Gene." Are we destined to
the fate determined by our parents' genes? What kind of willpower is needed to
overcome destiny? This is the theme of Metal Gear Solid.
[311] Meme (Meme)
The "M" in MGS (Metal Gear Solid) also stands for "Meme," a unit of cultural
transmission or imitation--things that can't be left behind by genes or digital
data, such as stories, histories, the environment and culture. A theme
presented by memes is leaving things for the next generation. This is the
theme of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.
[312] A.I. (Optic Neural AI)
With only one of its kind in existence, the GW core system is an optic neural
AI, possessing a complex parallel processing capacity of 980 trillion hammets.
It is capable of censoring any kind of digital data. It was developed by
Hal Emmerich's sister, Emma Emmerich.
[313] Truth (In the Darkness of Shadow Moses: The Unofficial Truth)
A written documentary on the terrorist incident that occurred at Shadow Moses
Island. It was authored by Military analyst Nastasha Romanenko, who supported
Solid Snake on his mission.
[314] Memory Cube (Memory-Building Bodies)
Information and memory fragments obtained in VR Training. By reconstructing
these, the information and memories can be converted into experiences. These
memory-building bodies can then be compiled to enhance VR Training effects,
whereupon the truths of incidents and scheme developments become discernible.
[315] MGS3 (MGS 3)
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was released in 2004 for the Playstation 2.
Set in the Soviet Union during the 1960's, it depicts the beginning of Solid
Snake's father, Big Boss.
[316] MGS2 (MGS 2)
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was released in 2001 for the Playstation 2.

Digital Graphic Novel.
==================================
(4) Frequently Asked Questions
==================================
Here are some questions I've gotten a lot. Please check these before emailing
me for help.
(Q): Where do I find the "Three Works" memory element?
(A): The "Three Works" memory element will appear in the 3-d cube once you have
made all possbile connections between the other 317 memory elements.
(Q): What is the reward for completing the game?
(A): Absolutely nothing. There are no ranks, codes, unlockables, etc. The only
reward is a well-deserved pat on the back from yourself.
(Q): What exactly is this game? How does it work?
(A): The term "game" is used rather loosely here. It is a comic book (graphic
novel) placed onto a UMD (digital) and made interactive. Essentially, you
can just sit back and watch the DGN (which I recommend for your firth
playthrough). The gaming aspect of it is as follows: Each page of the DGN
is interactive. By pressing square you enter a 3-d realm of said picture,
and you must search for "memory elements" within this 3-d realm by moving
around a cursor. Think of it all as a VR simulation that is recreating
the Shadow Moses incident. You must then link all of the memory elements
inside a big 3-d square.
