Nice to meet you, Snake.

It's an honour to speak to a living legend like yourself

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again"

Snake, some things cannot be undone. Nobody is invulnerable so please take care on your mission!

Snake, I'm sure you've heard the saying, "All is fair in love and war."

But it's not true at all, there are many internationally acknowledged war crimes and laws of war have existed for hundreds of years.

There is no situation where any action you want becomes justifiable.

In my parent's homeland they say "If there are more wolves, the people are eaten; If there are more people, the wolves are eaten."

That means the side with greater numbers is usually the winner. You're badly outnumbered Snake... try not to let them see you.

Erasmus said, "Prevention is better than cure."

Most problems are easier to solve before they happen. Snake, try to think ahead and consider what might go wrong.

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

Don't forget to save, Snake.

I worked hard on the soliton radar but it's not perfect. You won't be able to use it when the enemy is alert, or when electronically jammed.

Snake, it will also stop working if you are in a tight crawlspace, I uh... I don't know why though. Some bugs are just hard to fix OK!?

In Paradise Lost, Milton wrote "Solitude sometimes is best society, and short retirement urges sweet return."

Is that why you came back, Snake? You got tired of your "short retirement" in Alaska, huh?

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

Didn't you just use a chaff grenade?

Snake... how are you even using the Codec right now!?

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

Are you there, Snake? you haven't saved your game data in a while... Look after yourself.

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

"To cover one's ears to steal a bell." Have you heard this idiom before, Snake?

It is a reminder that although you may be unaware of something, that doesn't mean other people won't notice it for themselves.

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

"But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness, like a heartbeat. Drives you mad in the stillness of remembering what you had."

Snake, it’s OK to spend time with your memories, but if you dwell in the past too long you might forget to move on.

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

Snake, are you there? want me to save your game data now? I'm here for you.

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

Snake? Snake?! SNAAAAAAAKE?!

Oh, hi Snake, you haven't saved your game data in a while... Stay safe!

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

Listen to what Sallust said, "In battle it is the cowards who run the most risk, bravery is a rampart of defence."

A dangerous situation is when you need your focus most, if you panic you won't think clearly or react quickly enough.

You're brave, Snake! I know you can do this!

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

The sixth Ferengi Rule of Acquisition expressly states, "Never allow family to stand in the way of opportunity."

Liquid may be your brother, and Big Boss your father... but I know that won't stop you from doing what is right. I believe in you Snake!

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

Iroh said "Sometimes life is like a dark tunnel. You can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving you will come to a better place."

Don't give up yet, Snake!.

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

Snake, have you heard people say "The grass is always greener on the other side"? It means wherever you are, somewhere else will seem better.

If you are moving toward a different place, don't take unnecessary risks to get there, it might not be worth it.

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

"An ant may well destroy a whole dam" - Even the best laid plans can come apart when you overlook something small.

Snake, in your case this is a good thing! You're one man against a whole army of bad guys, you just have to find what they didn't plan for.

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

Snake, please. Be safe... for me.

[Mei Ling @CodecFreq140_96]

Snake! I really think you should save your mission data now.
