Damn it... Don't worry buddy, I'll make them pay... I'll make the Snatchers all pay. Come on Metal Gear, we need to go and pay our beloved Chief a lesson. Hopefully Harry and Mika are safe...

I hope so too, Gillian. If we're lucky, we'll find Harry before he finds the Chief.
We're in the ducts now. We know what to do.
USE METAL GEAR > TURN ON LIGHT
Metal: There could be SNATCHERS waiting for us. Please use extreme caution.
Gillian: How far does this thing go?
Metal: Gillian, are you sure that this thing has an exit?
LOOK > WALL
Metal: There's some kind of scratches here.
Gillian: Scratches? Check 'em out.
INVESTIGATE > SCRATCHES
Metal: This scratch was caused by the scraping of a very hard, claw like object of some kind.
Gillian: A SNATCHER? Maybe they were using this as some kind of short-cut, or back route.
LISTEN
Metal: I can hear the sound of water flowing.
LOOK > FRONT
Metal: It looks like it continues for some distance.
Gillian: I can hear water. It can't be a dead-end.
MOVE
Metal: We can't go back. The way is blocked by debris.
INVESTIGATE > MOTION DETECTOR
Gillian: Metal, are you picking up any movement?
Metal: I'm afraid the shock of that explosion has damaged my motion detector...
Gillian: So is it working or not ? [sic]
Metal: I'm getting partial readings, but they are not as sensitive as they should be.
Gillian: If we get attacked in a narrow area like this, we've had it.
Metal: Please pray for us Gillian. We've got to make it out of here.
Gillian: Damn. So I have to depend on my own eyes and ears, do I...
INVESTIGATE > SCRATCHES
Gillian: Maybe that naked SNATCHER we saw in the operating room?
Metal: That's probably correct. An endostructure before the artificial skin was installed most likely.
INVESTIGATE > GROUND
Metal: What's this? There's some sand spilled here... how did this get here?
INVESTIGATE > GROUND
Metal: For an air duct, the quantity of dust is quite low.
Gillian: So that means that this thing is used regularly, right?
Metal: Yes. There is certainly no reason why anyone would ever deliberately clean a duct like this.
Uh oh.
Metal: Gillian! Is it SNOW-9?
INVESTIGATE > GROUND
Metal: The lower surface is constructed of reinforced concrete.
INVESTIGATE > SAND
Metal: All right, now analyzing this sand. [pause] Iron particles, high quantities of phosphorous. This type of sand is particular to the M district in Neo Kobe.
Gillian: The M district, eh? Around the old factory, right? What's that mean?
INVESTIGATE > POLLEN
Metal: All right, I will gather and analyze a sample of the air here.
Gillian: SNOW-9, huh? Is it okay to breathe it?
Metal: You will be safe at these concentrations.
MOVE
Metal: We can probably keep moving forward, but it's likely to be a dead-end.
INVESTIGATE > CEILING
Metal: It's constructed quite well. There are signs that construction to reinforce it has been carried out.
INVESTIGATE > CEILING
Metal: Reinforcing bars formed of level-4 hardness steel alloy have been installed. It's quite strong.
Gillian: And that's what saved us... I guess we should thank them, eh?
Metal: It seems that this is not just a simple air duct. This does not seem to be just an ordinary air duct.
Gillian: It looks like the SNATCHERS have been using it to move around.
Metal: With these scratches and the presence of SNOW-9, I'd say it's definite.
Gillian: I sure don't want to meet up with any of them in a tight space like this.
Gillian: Boy, they build a lot of those things, don't they?
Metal: That was close, Gillian.
Gillian: Yeah, I took three hits back there.
Metal: Those insectors must be the security for this area.
Gillian: Which means that at the end of this duct...
Gillian: Don't want to meet up with any more of those spiders...
Metal: We're saved, Gillian!
Gillian: Metal, don't let your guard down.
Gillian: We're probably lost.
Metal: I wonder where we are.
LOOK > FRONT
Gillian: Metal, can you see what's up ahead?
Metal: It appears the tunnel continues for as far as I can see.
LOOK > BEHIND
Metal: That's the area we just passed through. I see nothing out of the ordinary.
LISTEN
Metal: The only sound is that of our own footsteps.
TALK
Gillian: Metal, how much farther do we have to go to reach the next station?
Metal: Since I don't know what our exact present location is, I cannot give you an accurate figure. This part of the system didn't have very many stations. We will probably have to walk quite a bit further.
Gillian: Moscow, eh? Chin Shu Oh over at Queens Hospital had a picture of St. Basil's Cathedral. The Chief keeps a picture of Red Square hidden. How come everybody is such a big Moscow fan these days? What's going on here?
Metal: Moscow seems to hold some clue to this whole thing, doesn't it.
Gillian: Now that you mention it, this map is exactly from that era, isn't it.
Metal: Moscow, 55 years ago. The key to understanding the SNATCHERS no doubt lies there.
Gillian: This has to have some meaning. I don't think they'd paste a 50 year-old map up here just as a decoration.
MOVE > EXIT
Metal: Be careful that you don't touch the tape lines.
Gillian: Tape? You mean this laser beam, right?
Gillian: I see. Gotta make sure nobody messes with the evidence, after all. Yeah, yeah... Jeez, I feel like I'm breaking into the place or something.
Gillian: Thank God. now let's get back to Headquarters.
LOOK > AREA
Metal: Look! There's a taxi over there.
LOOK > TAXI
Metal: It's a manned taxi. The driver is behind the wheel.
INVESTIGATE > TAXI
Metal: The cab is for hire. Shall we board it?
MOVE > RIDE IN TAXI
TELL DESTINATION
Gillian: We're on urgent business. Get us to Junker Headquarters as quickly as you can.
Driver: Hmmm... Junker Headquarters, eh? What would you want to go there for? Something going down?
TELL DESTINATION
Gillian: We're in a hurry!
Driver: Is that some kind of joke, sir? You can't be serious. This is a manned taxi, you know. I can't go to a place like that...
Gillian: Metal, I think we picked a weird taxi...
