Briefing Biographies 004. Mission Logs 001. Previous Operations - Metal Gear ------------------------------------- The year 1995. Deep in South Africa, 200 km north of Garzburg. Outer Heaven -- an armed fortress nation established by the legendary mercenary who was feared in combat by both his friends and foes as a hero and lunatic. The "Western" nations have found out that a weapon of mass destruction that could rewrite war history is under development at Outer Heaven. They have called upon the high-tech special force unit FOX- HOUND to take care of the situation. In response to this order, Big Boss, commander-in-chief of FOX- HOUND sent Gray Fox, the man with the code name "FOX" which is given to the best member of the unit. "Operation Intrude N313"... After a few days, his last message being "Metal Gear...", Gray Fox is missing in action. Taking the situation seriously, the top men of the "West" again called for FOX-HOUND. Big Boss selects Solid Snake, who has just recently joined FOX-HOUND, as the agent and entrusts everything to him. Successfully making a solo infiltration to Outer Heaven, Snake got in touch with local resistance members Schneider, Diane, and Jennifer. With their cooperation, Snake succeeds in rescuing Gray Fox. Gray Fox then laid out the terrifying facts about Metal Gear. Metal Gear was the development name of a nuclear warhead-equipped two-legged walking tank. It can walk through even the roughest terrains that would stop normal tanks. It can conduct local warfare by itself with unique weapons like its Vulcan cannon and anti-tank missiles. It was indeed a new-type of weapon that can conduct a nuclear attack against any place on the face of the earth from any land surface... With Metal Gear, Outer Heaven was trying to establish its military superiority over the entire world. In order to destroy Metal Gear, Snake rescues Metal Gear's chief engineer Dr. Pettrovich and his daughter Elen, who was taken hostage for her father to continue with his development, and hears from Dr. Pettrovich how to destroy Metal Gear. However, as Snake approaches the heart of Outer Heaven and Metal Gear, well-designed traps are set all around Snake -- as if all his actions are being leaked to the enemy... In the midst of escalating battle, the leader of the resistance, Schneider falls into the hands of the enemy, and Snake himself gets injured through the deadly battles with Outer Heaven's best mercenaries. But Snake's indomitable spirit leads him to the 100th floor basement of the secret base where Metal Gear was developed. Evading the powerful defense system that wipes out all intruders, Snake ultimately succeeds in destroying Metal Gear. Snake tries to escape from Outer Heaven upon completing the mission. However, during the escape he was confronted by one man -- FOX- HOUND commander-in-chief Big Boss. Big Boss laughs at the astounded Snake and tells him of the truth about his mission. While serving as the commander-in-chief of FOX- HOUND, Big Boss also ran a mercenary dispatch company utilizing his connections and capital from his years as a merc. He was planning to build this company a larger military establishment, and he built Outer Heaven as its base. His purpose for sending the rookie Snake to Outer Heaven was to cause information confusion against the "West". However, Big Boss's miscalculated, he never thought that Snake would make it this far... Having lost Metal Gear, Big Boss activates the self destruction system of the underground base. While the countdown to destruction continues, his scream echoes in the emptiness. "You have gone too far. Too far!" On the 100th floor basement, the battle between two men commences -- free of ideology and politics... The armed fortress nation, Outer Heaven, collapsed. The impenetrable fortress made from the best military technology, and occupied by the toughest mercenaries burned in flames. Behind him, the flames reached skyward, as Outer Heaven fell, leaving Solid Snake all alone... 002. Previous Operations - Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake ----------------------------------------------------- 1999, the world was facing an energy crisis. It was obvious that the supply of petroleum would run out faster than expected. However, the development of an alternate energy resource is far from completion. The price of petroleum has skyrocketed and the world economy is in confusion. The 21st century was expected to be one of chaos. One man's invention changed the entire situation. A Czech genius and biologist Dr. Kio Marv, invented "OILIX" a microorganism that refines petroleum to produce a highly purified form of petroleum. The world was filled with hope upon the discovery of this messiah to solve the energy crisis, but at the same time the world entered a time of tension regarding this new algae. Just when the whole world's attention was drawn to OILIX and Dr. Marv, he gets abducted by someone and disappears. Nations begin investigations immediately, and a name soon appeared... "Zanzibar Land". Zanzibar Land was a democratic military regime that suddenly appeared in Central Asia in 1997. When their uprising took place, the CIS army formed around Russia sends a suppressive unit immediately. Zanzibar Land resists by gathering a band of mercenaries from nations around the world and fortifying most of its land. As a result, the CIS army was repeatedly defeated, and Zanzibar Land declared its independence. Due to the active role mercenaries played, this war was called The Mercenary War, and Zanzibar Land was referred to as an armed fortress nation. A military nation with a group of strong mercenaries, surrounded by a tough fortress... According to the latest information, Zanzibar supposedly is armed with nuclear weapons. The whole scenario was crystal clear. By obtaining OILIX in addition to nuclear weapons, Zanzibar Land was trying to establish its economic and military superiority over the entire world. Concerned about the situation, the United States orders Roy Campbell, commander-in-chief of high-tech special forces unit FOX-HOUND, to rescue Dr. Marv. Campbell was a former member of FOX-HOUND. He brought back Solid Snake, the man who single handedly brought down the armed fortress nation of Outer Heaven 4 years ago, and asks him to win back both Dr. Marv and OILIX. Successfully infiltrating Zanzibar Land, and with the help of CIA agent Horry and others, Snake is able to go deep into the fortress and meet again with Dr. Pettrovich, the chief engineer of Metal Gear at Outer Heaven. He too was abducted to Zanzibar Land and was forced to develop another Metal Gear. He tells the surprised Snake of an even more shocking fact. Big Boss. The man Snake had defeated at Outer Heaven turned out to be the general commander of Zanzibar Land. Snake rescues Dr. Pettrovich in cooperation with Natasha, Dr. Marv's guard and former Czech International Secret Police agent, and then heads for the confinement facility deep in the fortress to save Dr. Marv. When Pettrovich and Natasha crossed the narrow suspension bridge over the deep valley, a missile blew the bridge away. Natasha flies into the air because of the explosion. While unable to do anything to save Natasha, Snake starts hearing a well-known voice. "Hey Snake. We are good buddies. I can let you go. Just leave this place at once!" ...Gray Fox. Snake sees Gray Fox controlling Metal Gear. The best soldier in FOX-HOUND who, after the fall of Outer Heaven, disappeared as if he followed Big Boss. Losing Natasha in front of his eyes and letting Pettrovich being taken away, Snake screams. "Fox! I will not give up!" After a series of deadly battles with mercenaries, Snake finally gets to Dr. Marv's confinement facility. However, when he arrives he is too late. He sees Dr. Marv's corpse and Pettrovich, who could do nothing but just stand there. Pettrovich tells Snake that Dr. Marv could not with- stand the repeated tortures because of heart problems. Snake then receives an emergency call from Horry. The information she supplied was very shocking. Pettrovich has been voluntarily visiting Zanzibar Land to develop Metal Gear. The abduction of Dr. Marv was conducted under the directions of Pettrovich himself. After the truth comes out, Pettrovich attacks Snake, but Snake easily puts an end to him and obtains the structural plan of OILIX. While trying to escape, Snake is confronted by Metal Gear again, controlled by Gray Fox. The tremendous battle takes place in the underground base. And Snake finally succeeds in destroying Metal Gear. However, Gray Fox does not submit and challenges Snake to the final battle. In the midst of a minefield, Snake and Fox fight without any weapons. A fist-to-fist duel involving no hatred or murder intent. During that weird moment of purity, the two are bound in forces transcending words and emotion. Snake wins the tough but pure battle against Gray Fox. However, there still was someone else Snake had to fight -- Big Boss. Just like 4 years ago at Outer Heaven, Big Boss was waiting for Snake. "One who has experienced the tension of battle can never leave the battlefield. I am the one giving you something to live for, and that is war." Snake is infuriated at the arrogant Big Boss. "There is only one battle I have to fight. To free myself from you, to shatter the nightmare ...Big Boss, I will kill you!" With the structural plan of OILIX, Snake and Horry escape from Zanzibar Land on a rescue helicopter. Snake once again saves the world. However, there is no smile on his face. Big Boss's last words keeps ringing in Snake's head. "Whichever wins, our battle does not end. The loser is freed from the battlefield, but the winner must remain there. And the survivor must live his life as a warrior until he dies." Snake then disappears into the white lands of Alaska, alone... 003.

Snake, who has been told by Master that Naomi was lying about her identity, is confused and filled with doubt, but heads for the control room on the 3rd floor of the underground maintenance base. Master repeatedly warns Snake that Naomi is an enemy spy. While filled with doubt, Snake arrives at the underground maintenance base. From Otacon's call, Snake finds out that the new-type nuclear warhead equipped on Metal Gear is a stealth ballistic missile utilizing a rail gun. Snake doubts Campbell who kept that fact a secret, but he heads for the control room on the 3rd floor of the underground maintenance base to stop the launch of this new-type of nuclear warhead. Snake finally arrived at the control room on the 3rd floor of the underground maintenance base, but the detonation code has already been entered. However, Snake hears from Otacon that he discovered how to use the detonation code emergency override key. The key is made of shape memory alloy and changes into 3 shapes according to temperature, each shape matching to the corresponding terminal in the control room. But Snake gets shot by Ocelot and drops the key into the drainage ditch on the first floor of the underground maintenance base.

Campbell orders the furious Snake to head to the control room after changing the key to the warm temperature shape in order to stop the launch of the new-type of nuclear warhead. Snake finally entered the 3rd PAL code. However, the system announced that the nuclear warhead has been activated. Laughing at the confused Snake, Master Miller removes his sunglasses, and reveals himself as Liquid Snake. Liquid used Snake all this time to have Snake perform the emergency input of the detonation code to activate the new- type of nuclear warhead. Liquid runs to the cockpit of Metal Gear as it starts to move. Snake goes after him. Snake has been used by Liquid and entered the detonation code. Snake, mad at the fact that he was used, is told by Liquid of an even more shocking fact. The Pentagon's goal from the beginning was to assassinate the terrorists, and others involved with FoxDie, carried by Snake, to hide the facts about the development of Metal Gear. Liquid also tells Snake that they are twins. While Snake is shocked from what he has been told, Liquid finally starts controlling Metal Gear... Snake himself has entered the detonation code. Pentagon's goal from the beginning was to assassinate the terrorists, and others involved with FoxDie, carried by Snake, to hide the facts about the development of Metal Gear and that they are twins. While Snake is shocked from what he has been told Liquid finally starts controlling Metal Gear. With Gray Fox giving his life to assist him, Snake successfully destroys Metal Gear but loses consciousness in the explosion. Liquid still stands strong in front of Snake who successfully destroyed Metal Gear. Liquid has been used as sacrifice for the creation of Snake as the superior clone of Big Boss. Liquid, with all the resentment, challenges Snake for a final battle on top of the destroyed Metal Gear. Meanwhile, the Secretary of Defense has ordered an air raid of the base. Campbell tried to stop the air raid, but is arrested. Liquid activated a time bomb before the approaching moment of doom. The final battle has begun. Liquid still stands strong in front of Snake who successfully destroyed Metal Gear. Liquid, with all the resentment, challenges Snake for a final battle on top of Metal Gear. After winning the battle, Snake finally rescues Meryl. Bbefore they have a chance to enjoy the moment, the US Air Force air raid starts shaking the base. Otacon deactivated security along the escape route. Snake and Meryl use the escape route to attempt to flee from the collapsing underground base. Liquid still stands strong in front of Snake who successfully destroyed Metal Gear. Liquid, with all the resentment, challenges Snake for a final battle on top the head of the destroyed Metal Gear. Snake wins the battle and gets Meryl back, but Meryl is already dead. Snake's anguished scream echoes in the underground base. Snake is now determined to survive for Meryl. The air raid of the US Air Force has begun. Snake and Otacon attempt to escape from the collapsing underground base. Snake has successfully infiltrated Shadow Moses Island. Once Snake reached the surface, he must find a way to enter the nuclear weapons disposal facility. To rescue the DARPA Chief who was taken hostage, Snake avoids been seen by the enemies' surveillance and infiltrates deeper into the disposal facility. Finding an intruder, enemy soldiers swarm into the cell. Snake fights back immediately. The female soldier just stands there unable to say a word. While shooting the enemies, Snake shouts at the female soldier. "What are you doing? Shoot! Don 't be afraid!" As if regaining consciousness, the female soldier starts firing her FAMAS. With her help, the enemies have been wiped out. The female soldier then heads for the cell exit. The terrorists have already found out the detonation code from the DARPA Chief. In order to stop the nuclear launch, Snake goes to rescue ArmsTech President Kenneth Baker, the person who knows the second and final detonation code. FOX-HOUND member Revolver Ocelot. Snake fights a tough battle against this gun master who can even control the ricochet of his shots. However, Snake drives Ocelot to bay by taking advantage of the weakpoint of the revolver gun -- its reloading time. Snake successfully rescues President Baker from FOX-HOUND member Revolver Ocelot. However, Baker has already given away the detonation code. The only thing that can stop the nuclear launch now is the detonation code emergency override key given to Meryl, or Metal Gear chief engineer Dr. Emmerich. Right after Baker tells this to Snake, he dies of a sudden heart attack. Snake tries contacting Meryl at the Codec frequency from the back of the CD case. Now that the terrorists know both detonation codes, the only thing that can stop the nuclear launch is the detonation code emergency override key given to Meryl,or Metal Gear chief engineer Dr. Emmerich. Snake successfully contacts Meryl, and with her help, the door at the north of the first floor of the tank hangar is now open. To rescue Dr. Emmerich, Snake exits through the cargo entrance and heads for the nuclear warhead storage building. The M1 tank approaches Snake on the snow filled battlefield. The cannon fires and Vulcan Raven mockingly laughs from the top of the tank. The tank's cannon will not allow Snake to get close enough for combat. However, Snake uses Chaff to confuse the M1's electronic devices and approaches the tank. He throws a grenade into the hatch and successfully destroys the tank. To find out how to stop the nuclear launch, Snake heads to rescue Metal Gear chief engineer Dr. Hal Emmerich. Inside the nuclear warhead storage building Snake sees a bunch of enemy soldier corpses and a flickering shadow of stealth camouflage. Sensing Dr. Emmerich's life is at risk, Snake runs to the lab at the northeast of the second floor basement of the nuclear warhead storage building. Wielding a sword, the Cyborg Ninja comes toward Snake. The Ninja deflects all shots fired by Snake. "You cannot hurt me with such weapons!" mocks the Ninja, demanding a hand-to-hand duel. Snake accepts the offer and engages in hand-to-hand combat. A violent but pure physical battle ensues. In the midst of this fight, the name of one man comes in the mind of Snake... Snake successfully rescues Otacon but is shocked when he finds out that the Ninja he just fought is actually his former war buddy Gray Fox. After Otacon discovers that Metal Gear, against his will, was developed as a nuclear warhead-equipped walking tank, he offers to cooperate with Snake. In his search for Meryl to get the detonation code emergency override key from her, Snake sees Meryl enter the women's bathroom and follows her. Meeting up with Meryl again, Snake gets the detonation code emergency override key. However, what she only had one of the three keys. In order to stop the nuclear launch, one must deactivate the detonation code or destroy Metal Gear itself. From the north of the commander's room in the first floor basement of the nuclear warhead storage building, Snake and Meryl head for the underground maintenance base where Metal Gear is stored. However, Meryl suddenly starts acting weird... Meryl suddenly starts attacking Snake in the commander's room. Snake doesn't want to attack Meryl, but Meryl on the other hand, does not hesitate to pull the trigger of her Desert Eagle. Learning from Campbell's Codec message that Meryl is being brainwashed and controlled by Psycho Mantis, Snake knocks Meryl unconscious. Now unable to control Meryl, Mantis himself finally makes his appearance. Mantis makes his appearance and Snake fights him. However, Mantis dodges all of Snake's attacks as if he knew they were coming. Unable to do anything, Snake is injured by Mantis' telekinetic attacks. From Campbell's Codec message Snake learns that Mantis has been reading Snake's mind, and can anticipate Snake's attacks. Snake outsmarts Mantis' mind-reading abilities and successfully defeats Mantis. The defeated Mantis tells Snake that the only way to the underground maintenance base is to go north from the commander's room and over the communications tower beyond the cave. Mantis then dies. To stop the terrorists' nuclear launch, one must deactivate the detonation code or destroy Metal Gear itself. Snake and Meryl head for the underground maintenance base where Metal Gear is stored. They go through the wolf-dog occupied cave and get to the underground passage leading to the communications tower. Snake and Meryl head for the communications tower -- the only way to the underground mainteenance base. But on the way, Meryl is shot by Sniper Wolf. Obtaining the PSG1, the only weapon to fight back and save Meryl, Snake defeats Wolf in a sniping battle. However, Meryl could no longer be found. Snake heads north to get hints as to where she went. In a blunder,Snake is surrounded by awaiting enemies. Snake and Meryl head for the underground maintenance base to stop the terrorists' nuclear launch. But on the way, Meryl gets shot by Sniper Wolf and is taken prisoner. Snake is also taken prisoner when trying to rescue Meryl. Ocelot tells Snake that if Snake submits to torture, he will kill Meryl. Snake resists the torture with Meryl's life at stake but then is locked up in a cell. Now a prisoner, Snake was being tortured by Ocelot. If he submits, Meryl will be killed. While resisting the repetitive torture and waiting for the right timing to escape, Snake receives a Codec call from Campbell. Now a prisoner, Snake was being tortured by Ocelot. If he submits, Meryl will be killed. However, Snake was unable to resist Ocelot 's tough torture. Ocelot cold-bloodedly tells Snake that he will kill Meryl. While suffering in deep regret and waiting for the right timing to escape, Snake receives a Codec call from Campbell. Snake resists Ocelot's torture until the very end and then escapes from the cell. However he had no idea where the other prisoner Meryl was. To enter the underground maintenance base by detouring over the blocking glacier, Snake heads for the communications tower and gets to the underground passage. That was where Meryl had been sniped... Snake couldn't resist Ocelot's torture and couldn't rescue Meryl... After escaping from the cell, Snake heads for the communications tower and gets to the underground passage. He can enter the underground maintenance base by detouring over the glacier. That was where Meryl had been sniped... The terrorists have already started preparing for the launch of the new-type nuclear warhead. To stop the launch, one must use the detonation code emergency override key at the underground maintenance base in the north, or destroy Metal Gear itself. Infiltrating the communications tower, Snake climbed to the tower roof to detour over the glacier blocking the way. But as Snake tries to cross the walkway, a sudden missile attack hits the huge antenna. Liquid's Hind D attacked Snake who was trying for the walkway of communications tower A in order to detour over the glacier blocking the way to the underground maintenance base. Dodging the Hind's insistent attacks and rappelling down the wall of communications tower A, Snake obtains the Stinger missile. To end the battle, Snake heads for the roof of communications tower B. On the way, he notices a strange existence awaiting him. Snake holds his Socom and jumps around the corner. Snake was attacked by Liquid's Hind D at communications tower A but rappelled down the wall and obtained the Stinger, a weapon effective against the Hind. Snake meets Otacon on his way to use the elevator. Snake gets to the roof of communications tower B to finish the battle with Liquid. Snake faces Liquid's Hind D on the roof of commu- nications tower B. The 12.7mm Vulcan cannon shoots at Snake. Snake dodges the firing and shoots his Stinger at the Hind. Snake fights this tough battle against Russia's heavy battle helicopter and gets injured. But when one of many successful Stinger shots makes a hit, the massive Hind starts falling. Snake fought Liquid's Hind D on the roof of communications tower B and successfully shoots it down. Taking a ride down on the elevator of communications tower B, Snake gets to the snowfield north of tower B. Snake heads for the entrance of the underground maintenance base north of this snowfield. He then gets sniped by someone and cannot advance. That is when Snake gets a Codec call from Otacon. Snake stands in the snowfield north of the communications tower. There awaited Sniper Wolf. Snake accepts the challenge of Sniper Wolf. The victor of the tough but quiet sniping battle in the snowfield was again Snake. Convinced that he won, Snake heads north to infiltrate Metal Gear's underground maintenance base. He then spots Wolf who has fallen onto the snow and runs toward her. Snake again defeats Sniper Wolf who awaited him in the snowfield north of the communications tower. After watching her die along with Otacon, Snake successfully goes through the entrance of the underground maintenance base. Snake takes the cargo elevator and heads for the lower level of Metal Gear's underground maintenance base. He then gets a Codec call from Master Miller. Master Miller tells Snake, who was taking the cargo elevator to the lower level, that Naomi could be a spy. Snake does not believe what he hears. All he can do now is head for the underground maintenance base to stop the launch of the new- type nuclear warhead. Snake reaches the bottom and infiltrates the underground warehouse. The underground maintenance base is within his reach. The deadly battle between Snake and Vulcan Raven begins. Snake hides himself among the containers piled up in the warehouse. Raven starts shooting overwhelmingly with his M61 20mm cannon and destroys the containers. However, it was once again Snake who won this battle in this underground warehouse at a temperature below 30 degrees Celsius. The defeated Raven braces himself against the wall to support his strength-depleted body. Right before his death, the defeated Raven revealed that the DARPA Chief who died in front of Snake was actually FOX-HOUND member Decoy Octopus in disguise. Master Miller also tells Snake that Naomi is using a false identity. Filled will feelings of doubt, Snake heads for the command room on the third floor of the underground maintenance base. He then gets a Codec call from Otacon. Snake learns from Otacon's call that the new-type of nuclear warhead equipped on Metal Gear is a stealth ballistic missile utilizing a railgun. While suspecting Campbell for hiding this fact, Snake heads for the underground maintenance base to stop the launch of this new-type of nuclear warhead and finally gets to the command room. Snake finally got to the command room on the third floor of the underground maintenance base. However, the detonation codes have already been entered. Snake learns from Otacon how to use the detonation code emergency override key, but before having a chance to use it, he gets shot by Ocelot and drops the key to a lower level. Snake successfully gets the key in the drainage ditch on the first floor of the underground maintenance base, returns to the command room on the third floor, and enters the first PAL code with the key's shape at room temperature . Snake tries to stop the nuclear launch by using the detonation code emergency override key. The key is made of shape memory alloy and changes shape in three ways according to temperature. The key at each of the three shapes is to be entered into each matching terminal. Completing entry of the PAL code with the room-temperature-shape key, Snake changed the key to the cold temperature shape and entered the second PAL code in the command room. Snake completed the entry of the second PAL code. To enter the third PAL code, Snake has to warm the key to get it into the warm-temperature shape. When Snake gets on the cargo elevator to head to the blast furnace -- the warmest place in the base -- he gets a Codec call from Master Miller. Master tells Snake, who is trying to stop the nuclear launch by using the detonation code emergency override key, of the assassination virus weapon FoxDie and that Naomi was the one who used it. When Snake was unsure of whether or not this was true, Campbell tells Snake that Naomi was arrested for spying. Filled with suspicion, Snake changes the key to the warm temperature shape at the blast furnace, takes the cargo elevator, and heads for the command room to enter the third PAL code. He then gets a Codec call. Naomi has been arrested by Campbell. There is no time left until the new-type of nuclear warhead is launched. While feeling suspicious, Snake gets to the command room of the Metal Gear underground maintenance base and enters the third PAL code. Master Miller was actually Liquid in disguise. Liquid actually had Snake pursue his mission and used him in order to have him enter the detonation code and deactivate the PAL. After revealing all, Liquid locks Snake in the command room and pumps in poison gas. But with Otacon's help, Snake managed to escape. Snake sees Liquid from behind, running towards the cockpit of Metal Gear. Snake chases after Liquid. Metal Gear has finally been activated. Liquid mocks Snake who can do nothing against the overwhelming fire power of the nuclear-equipped walking tank. Snake gets advice from Metal Gear chief engineer Otacon, that if Snake destroys the "radome", it will disable all sensors and force Liquid to open the cockpit. Snake can then shoot inside the cockpit, and could destroy Metal Gear. Snake shoots his Stinger missile at the radome while dodging Metal Gear's overwhelming attacks. Metal Gear's massive body finally starts to shudder... Gray Fox has died. But now Metal Gear's radome is completely destroyed. Liquid opens the cockpit door and starts attacking like wild to kill Snake. Snake faces this attack and fires his Stinger in anger and grief. The Stinger hits the now revealed cockpit. Metal Gear goes down in flames. Snake and Liquid engage in their final battle on top of the head of Metal Gear. The air raid is approaching and the time bomb counter is ticking. On goes the very basic fight with no weapons other than their fists...At the end of the deadly battle between the two, Snake's finishing blow knocks Liquid off the top of Metal Gear. Trying to escape from the base, Snake and Meryl hop into a jeep they found in the underground parking lot and drive down the escape route. After breaking through two checkpoints, they noticed one jeep coming after them. "Snake!It 's not over yet!" It was Liquid chasing them with blood in his eyes. They shoot at each other from their jeeps. Unable to outrun Liquid, Snake's jeep crashes into Liquid's at the exit of the escape route...
