[ This face isn't one that has been seen over the network before. Or rather, not this version of this face. Snake has a facial structure that's nearly identical to Liquid, though their hair colors are different. He also resembles Big Boss, but he's younger and has both of his eyes.

Despite the fact that this is his first time doing this, Snake doesn't bother introducing himself. There's no preamble at all, really. He's not that diplomatic of a person on a good day, and right now he's pissed. ]

I just got out of cryo. [ He's broadcasting from his room, and despite how disoriented his awakening was, he's got a fresh uniform on and comes across as relatively put-together, save for that undercurrent of anger. ] How long was I out? What did I miss?

I know other people have been through the same thing. Did you ever have any side effects after the fact? [ He hasn't heard of such a thing, but being unconscious for any length of time is enough to make a guy paranoid. His expression is harsh and determined as he addresses the MID's camera. ] I think if the captains are going to put us in cold storage without our permission, they need to explain why.

[ With that, the feed cuts. ]

Yep. [ No, Snake is not happy about it at all. The way he figures, there had definitely been a reason for it, he just has no idea what it is.

Bucky seems uncharacteristically subdued. Worried, even. Not for him, Snake imagines. They barely know each other. ] I don't feel different right now. A little groggy, but that's it. [ And that's understandable given the circumstances. ] But that doesn't mean that something won't crop up later.

[ Between his faulty genes and FOXDIE, Snake isn't going to take any more chances with assuming that things are okay. ]

[sidecars]

Did no one know you were in cryo? Someone had to be checking in every once in awhile right?

[ You have friends, right, Snake? ]

[soldiergenes]

Yeah, a few people knew.

[ Two or three, maybe. Snake isn't the type to make himself readily available to people anyway. He's not that concerned about friends right now. ]

What's your point?

[sidecars]

Nothin', jeez! I was just curious is all!

[ Don't be hating on his need to learn and grow and be a better person through knowledge, okay? ]

You know, just in case it happens to someone I know.

[soldiergenes]

If you look at the directory on your MID, it should tell you who's active and who's in cryo. If you don't trust that, you should be able to get into the room with the cryo units and check for yourself.

[ How's that for some knowledge? ]
