Chapter 12ournourney
After 5
days of traveling, the low hum of the “L’yednik’s” engines began to drone into
Otacon’s ears, making him drowsy. Alert
as usual, Snake sat beside him on the bunk, keeping himself occupied by tossing
a pack of cigarettes into the air and catching them repeatedly. Since smoking was not permitted on the
submarine, Snake was beginning to go through terrible withdrawal. Though inwardly, he was going crazy, he
appeared cool, calm and collective as he always did. This was something that Otacon admired about him. Snake was a master of deception, his
emotions hidden from the world by a face, whose expressions were readable only
by his closest friend and partner. Now,
if only Hal could master that art, he’d have it made.
Hal
struggled to keep his eyes open. He
gave his arm a quick pinch to wake himself up.
Dave took notice to this and frowned a bit.
“You’d
better catch up on your sleep now,” he told the engineer. “There’ll be no time for napping later.”
“I know,”
Hal said. “I’m kind of afraid to
though. You know, with all of the RNF
secretly running around this place.”
Snake
stopped tossing his cigarettes for a moment to stretch out his shoulders. “Well, I’m up. I’ll keep watch. Will you
be able to rest then?”
Otacon
shrugged. “I suppose.”
Raiden
was lounging on his bunk across the sleeping quarters. “I’m up too, so you’ll have both of us on
guard.”
“See?”
Snake said, getting up from Otacon’s bed, “Now get some damned sleep, will ya?”
The
slender man didn’t argue. He was tired,
and they were close to their destination.
This would be his last opportunity to rest up before the mission. He crawled under the covers, laying his
glasses on the night table. Hal fell
quickly asleep.
The room
got really quiet after that, save for the soft breathing of the scientist and
the sound of the “L’yednik’s” engines.
Snake jumped into his own bunk, returning to tossing his pack of
cigarettes.
The
silence made Jack uneasy. He knew that
the mercenary was not one for small talk, but he had to do something. Whenever things were quiet, Jack’s mind
would wander, and thoughts of things he didn’t want to think about always
seemed to crup oup on him.
“Hey,
Snake?”
“Hmm?” he
grunted in reply.
“You
nervous?”
Raiden
mentally kicked himself. “That was a
dumb question. Of course he’s not
nervous. He’s ‘Solid Snake’.” It was too late now, and even if it was
stupid, it was conversation.
Dave looked
over at Jack, still tossing the pack into the air. “Eh, maybe a bit.”
The kid
was surprised by the man’s answer. “Oh,
really?”
“Yeah.”
Snake answered. “I suppose though, that
it’s more of an uneasy gut feeling that we’re getting in way over our
heads. I haven’t had pre-battle jitters
in years.” The mercenary pointed his
finger at Raiden. “My instincts are
usually correct. I hope you know you’ve
gotten yourself into some dangerous shit.”
Jack
nodded, “Yeah. I figured as much. Well, if anything goes wrong, I can at least
say I got something good out of this w dea deal.”
“What’s
that?” Snake inquired.
“I was
introduced to an amazing woman,” Raiden said with an almost girl-like, dreamy
sigh.
Snake
just burst out laughing. “Yeah. From the sound of it, you two were really
hitting it off the other night.”
Raiden’s
face flushed. “You heard?”
“Kid, my
ears have been trained to listen for any hint of a sneaking enemy. You think I wouldn’t have heard the two of
you panting wildly like dogs in heat?”
“Umm…
well…”
“Relax
kid,” Snake reassured him, “It wasn’t like I was trying to listen in.” He sd wrd wryly. “Though I must commend you on a job well done. I haven’t heard a girl scream like that in a
long time.”
“Snake!”
The
mercenary just chuckled to himself, then turned his head back to watch the pack
of cigarettes go up and down.

“So Jack
is with them?” the voice said into Rose’s ear.
“Yes. He is.
So then it was Otacon that contacted him at my apartment a few days
ago?” she asked for confirmation.
“Affirmative,”
came the reply. “I was able to discern
the frequency, even though I wasn’t able to decrypt the message.”
Rose
nodded in acknowledgement. “So, what
are my orders then?”
“Make
sure the proper channels are opened to them for safe passage. I need the one alive,” the voice commanded.
“What
about the other two?”
“I’ll
make use of them, or I’ll kill them. I
haven’t decided yet. I at least would
like to try to incorporate Jack into the ‘E. Weapon Project’.” Strange soft chuckling followed the
statement. “Frost will be pleasantly
surprised.”
Rose
cocked her eyebrow. “Frost knows Jack?”
“Anyways,
Rosemary, just do your job and get them here.
I’ve been antsy for the past few days.”
“We
should arrive in Molodezhnaya tomorrow, and be at the base by the morning
after.”
The voice
sighed in relief. “Good. Just be sure to stay out of sight.”
“Understood,
Genesis.”
***
After the
codec transmission ended, Rose turned back to look at herself in the
mirror. Her amber colored contacts had
been removed to reveal her true eye color.
They were a light, stormy gray with tiny flecks of blue in them. She glanced down at the brown mass of hair
that lay in the sink. It sure felt good
to finally be rid of all of that hair.
After all, she had only grown it as part of her assignment to Jack. It was now cropped just above her shoulders,
curled under and layered throughout.
She touched it thoughtfully as she gazed back at her reflection.
“Welcome
back, Rosemary,” she said.
***
Otacon
looked around at his companions as they fastened up their sneaking suits, then
looked down at himself. He was
considerably skinnier than they were, and the tight fit of the sneaking suit
only accentuated that fact. The only
thing redeeming him was the bulk of the shoulder, elbow, and knee guards.
Hal
jumped as a firm hand came crashing down on his rear.
“Looks
good,” Snake told him, laughing.
“Snake!”
the scientist whined indignantly.
Raiden
ran his hands over the rubbery, yet soft material of his suit. “Wow, Otacon. This is much more comfortable than my skull suit. You tailored it perfectly.”
The
scientist’s chest broadened a bit with pride.
“Thanks.”
Otacon
put on his RART issued clothes, coat and gloves over his sneaking suit, tucking
the headpiece away in the coat’s inner pocket.
Fully dressed, he turned to face the others.
“Okay. Now we’re in this together. No matter what happens, we must find and
rescue those scientists and destroy whatever weapons they have created,” he
said, putting out his hand. Raiden and
Snake laid their hands down on top of his.
“And I’mind ind you all the way,” Hal said, looking directly at Snake.
The
mercenary saw the strength of determination burning in his partner’s eyes. He acknowledged his friend’s statement with
an almost indiscernible nod.
The three
stood there, hands joined, for what seemed like an eternity. The sound of the “L’yednik’s” engines
changed in pitch, indicating it was ascending to the surface. They had arrived, though neither one knew
what was waiting to greet them.
Author’s Notes:
Yet more “Kojima-ness”.
The reference to “Frost knowing Jack”… Jack Frost… Get it? LOL!
