[When Liquid posts things, he's usually on video, often looking pretty damn smug or something. Today, he is not. He doesn't sound so good, either. In fact, he sort of sounds weak. The FOXDIE cure apparently has a few side-effects here, but hey, at least he's not kicking the bucket out of nowhere like his father. In the background can be heard some barking, and some music. Some pretty loud music. Sorry, roommates.]

Ugh. What a great time to still be ill.

First, I want to throw my opinion down on the pile that this splitting into hastily-chosen teams thing is bloody stupid. There's no point in splitting up if we're not going to actually involve things people specialize in. But even if I'm supposed to be bedridden I want to make it clear I am not down for the count. I'm available for whatever I can manage. That just... probably won't include any actual combat. Beyond that, I have plenty of leadership experience and if you need some advice, or just want me to tell you what to do, I'm your man.

[He pauses for a moment because of a coughing fit.]

Second, whoever sent the music, I really appreciate it right now. Can't believe I've never heard of this "Slash Monkey" before.

The strongest man to ever live once said, "Human strength lies in the ability to change yourself." It is through adversity and challenge that human beings are capable of changing and adapting, and becoming powerful. This was the lesson my Sensei taught me when I first became his disciple. It is effectively a draft, and a draft is indiscriminate - this is efficient in this situation due to the severe limit on time, as every moment that would be spent on organizing people based on skill is better spent preparing our strategies instead and having the people within those groups fall into the different subsections of strategy as they see fit.

This is a trying time. People are in situations that are unfamiliar to them. They are tasked with things that they have never had to endure before. However, this means that they will be faced with hardship and will go stronger for it. This decision is not made of wisdom, but of haste and necessity, and necessity is a more important factor than picking the wisest possible move. We are, after all, not playing a game of chess where each player may ponder at length over the strength of each individual piece - we are encountering a direct threat that will bear down on us the moment they are able to catch up and make contact. We must act fast and complaints should be put to the wayside and instead, those who have been drafted to different teams must work on fitting themselves into the strategy in a way that only they can--

[This guy just likes to hear himself talk, apparently, because there's no indication he's stopping after all this rambling]

[ Snake keeps his response to audio, much for the same reason. While he's done a decent job of keeping himself together despite the urge to hurl every few hours, he definitely doesn't look or feel his best at the moment. ]

So, you got the shot too?

[ As convoluted as this whole team setup might be, the one upside is that Snake doesn't have to pretend to coordinate with Liquid on anything. ]

Solid Snake told me that you'd be sick after being inoculated.
