[BRIEFINGS] - Dr. Strangelove
Here you will find transcriptions of the Briefing Files in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker involving Huey. Be warned, here there be spoilers.
How Huey met Strangelove
BB: So this... Dr. Strangelove was at NASA?
H: Yeah. Well, actually, Strangelove left for DARPA not long after I joined.
BB: And then the two of you ended up back together doing research in Costa Rica?
H: Not exactly "together." We coordinated on a few things, but the research projects themselves were separate from each other. We had it worked out so that Dr. Strangelove handled the Mammal Pod, Peace Walker's cerebrum, while I did the rest.
BB: That letter... something to do with your research...?
H: Huh? Uh- er, no, it's, uh... Y-yeah! It's a report. Research findings.
BB: Research findings? Anything in there we could use against Peace Walker?
H: N-nothing! Nothing at all! Just don't read it, OK? Promise me you won't!
Letter to Strangelove
H: Did you, uhm... give that letter to Dr. Strangelove?
BB: ...Uhhhhhhh... no.
H: Why not? I gave it to you for a reason. It's highly important information.
BB: Sorry. I didn't exactly have an opportunity to play postman.
H: Well... next time you see her... m-make sure she gets it!
BB: Oh, yeah, sure. Better for you if she doesn't...
H: Snake!
BB: What?
H: Tell me you didn't read the letter.
BB: N-no...
H: You did!
BB: I mean... You never know what kind of information could affect the outcome of an operation, right? So... I-I...
H: So you read the letter. After I specifically told you not to!
BB: ...What do you expect people to do when you tell them not to read something...?
H: I thought I knew you, Snake! I thought I could trust you! But now I see I was wrong!
BB: [Sigh] ...Look, I'm sorry. But I just don't get what you see in her.
H: Well! I wouldn't expect a barbarian who opens other people's private correspondence to understand.
BB: Fine, then. Deliver it yourself.
H: Huh?! N-no, no, I... No way, I could never...
BB: You've got a looooong way to go, Huey...
"2001: A Space Odyssey"
H: You ever see the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey"?
BB: Can't say I have.
H: Fantastic flick... The outer space special effects are incredible enough, but the depiction of AI is what really stands out.
BB: There's an AI?
H: Yeah! A spacecraft pilot AI called HAL. It plays a major role in the story. Dr. Strangelove loves it, too. Did I ever tell you about the time we first met up in Costa Rica?
BB: Nnno.
H: You know how she hates men, right? So we hadn't seen each other since NASA, and we just weren't hitting it off... until we started talking about HAL, and then she started going off. The way she talked about it was so intellectual. The way she analyzed every plot detail, how passionate she was about the AI... It made me fall for her all over again.
BB: ...Uh huh.
H: You know what? Here's to HAL, for bringing her and me closer together! You should ask her about "2001," too. Then you'll understand just how amazing she is.
BB: Amazing, huh...
H: HAL... Now there's a good name...
