[The memories of humans start to go after a while when they're monsters? Shit. How long could Snake hold out before he started to forget who he was or what Mother Base was. Kaz, Ocelot, the men.....]

Can't afford to lose my memory. I have to get back to Mother Base. Kaz and Ocelot will probably have sent out a search team for me right now. Probably thing I'm dead. Does time still carry on while we're here or does it stop?

[He had to know. This was important.]

He saved you, huh? Helped you to escape the island to end up where?

[saveyourserpent]

[Well, as long as he stays alive things'll be fine!]

Well then, don't die. And, well, how the hell should I know? I never left since I got here. Hm. Has to be five or six months by now, I think. Far as I know, you're stuck here, although I have heard of people leaving. Some seem to have not missed anything, if they came back, but I'm not sure I believe them.

[The details, though, are kind of a mystery.]

All over the place. We travelled a lot. Eventually I ended up back in England, and things sort of went on from there.

[cardboard_boss]

Don't intend to die. Almost did that once and it wasn't much fun.

[Lying in a coma sucked. Being a human vegetable wasn't the greatest achievement for the legendary Big Boss.]

If they left then there's a chance I can leave too. This place isn't for me. I can't let Cipher win back home and leave Kaz and everyone else to fight without me.

[Always about Kaz and the men.]

Yeah? England, huh? Guess that's why you've got that posh accent.

[saveyourserpent]

Actually doing it isn't much better, trust me.

[Especially since he'd been banking on, y'know, not dying.]

I wouldn't hold your breath if I were you. There's no guarantee it will happen, and chances are they just died or something.

[Who knows?]

I was raised in England until they brought me to Africa. It was just me going back.

[cardboard_boss]

No. I'm not buying that. They're not dead.

[No way were they dead. Kaz and the men would find a way to survive. They were tough bastards. Ocelot would certainly not let Diamond Dogs sink into the ocean.]

You get speech lessons to gain that accent?

[Because, you know, you're posh.]

[saveyourserpent]

Hah, I meant the people who left. But you can choose to see it that way.

[Liquid knows Kaz isn't dead yet in his father's time, anyway; he's got to have him killed later so he can impersonate him.]

Why the hell would I take bloody speech lessons? This is how I talk.

[cardboard_boss]

[Don't mention this to Snake, Liquid, otherwise he might have to kill you.]

It just seems odd that a kid who lived in the African bush could have such a posh voice. Just saying how it is.

[saveyourserpent]

[Oh, he wouldn't dream of it.]

You don't think I spent my whole life there, did you? Bloody hell, I'm practically forty years old.

Shit happens.

[cardboard_boss]

I know you didn't, since you got rescued by the floating kid. You just sounded posh even when you were kid.

[Right? That part had baffled Snake since meeting the young Eli.]

[saveyourserpent]

It's just an accent, Father, not sure what's such a bloody big deal about it. I've spent a lot of time in England, that's all.

[cardboard_boss]

Fine. Just how long did you spent in England and what did you do? Build a base? Recruit soldiers?

[He had to ask.]

[saveyourserpent]

What is this, an interrogation? I spent some time. I did things. Existed.

[cardboard_boss]

No interrogation, just some questions. I haven't seen you since you were a child.

[A bratty, cocky child.]

Don't want your old man to know too much, huh?

[saveyourserpent]

I was never a child.

[Okay, yeah he was, but he never felt like it, back then. And if someone called him a kid, he was big on fighting them about it.]

You don't need to know.

[cardboard_boss]

Everyone was a child, Liquid. Just like everyone crawled around in diapers for a good few months.

[Yep. Even you, Liquid. A baby.]

Can imagine you throwing your toys out of the cot on day one.

[saveyourserpent]

Genetic experiments don't get toys.

[Okay, he doesn't exactly remember that far back, obviously, but he hadn't had anything resembling a normal childhood, so it was likely.]

I was never given the opportunity to be a child. So I never was.
