[ 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. ]

Wow. Why are our conversations always depressing? Anyway, go jump in. Send me a postcard or something.

[THUMBS UP]

[ Snake shakes his head. ] No. I don't trust it.

[ Maybe he'll change his mind and the idea of seeing some version of home will be too great, but right now he's going to stick with his healthy paranoia.

As for the depressing comment, that's just a part of talking to someone like Snake. Riptide's the one who keeps contacting him anyway. ]

That's probably a good call.

[he will always contact you first to hold out hope for that one conversation that won't be horrendously depressing. suck it, snake.]

I'm gonna try it anyway. Only live once, right?

That's not strictly true here.

[ There's solid proof of people coming back from the dead. Snake doesn't know if that applies to giant robots, but he doesn't see why it wouldn't, since apparently they're alive in some sense.

After a pause, and because he is curious: ] Report back and let me know how it goes.
