Like high school all over again... if Raidenkov had been born in his original time.

[nomorelightning]

[If you're on the first floor, you might hear banging from the direction of a locked locker. There's a Raidenkov stuck inside and wishing very firmly he hadn't bothered to go say hi to Snake.]

Hello? Can someone hear me? ...please let me out...

[He's been in there a while and could really use a hand.  It's cold in here, after all.]

Comments

[cant_sitstill]

[Well, after seeing the wonderful room of duckies with Liquid, Snake returns to the locker he left Raidenkov in.]

Kid, you still alive in there?

[nomorelightning]

[Oh, god, no, it sounds like the crazy man is back.]

Y-yes, I am...

[cant_sitstill]

[Unlocks the locker, and takes a step back, opening the door.]

Uh, sorry about that.

[nomorelightning]

[He half-falls out of it, looking startled.]

U-uh, it's ok... I'm sorry I wasn't clearer...

[He's really scared of this man.]

[cant_sitstill]

... You were right. I'm sorry for locking you in there...

What did you say your name was again?

[nomorelightning]

...it's ok.

[He's still scared, but he takes a little comfort from the apology.]

Jack. Jack Raikov.

[cant_sitstill]

I'm Solid Snake.

[Puts a hand out.]

[nomorelightning]

[He looks surprised and takes his hand.]

Snake?

[He looks too low of a model to be the Snake from his game world.]

[cant_sitstill]

Yeah.

Good to meet you. [Strong grip, he shakes his hand.]

That's a Russian Uniform, right? What unit are you from?

[nomorelightning]

It's good to meet you too, I guess. [He's a little in awe of this man as well as terrified.] I'm part of GRU Spetsnaz, working under Colonel Volgin. [He frowns at the mention of the Colonel. He didn't want to think about that man.] Well, I'm technically free here.

[cant_sitstill]

Spetsnaz?

You were caught pretty easily by me. How'd a rookie like you get into the GRU?

[nomorelightning]

Ahahahaha... I got caught by you because I wasn't expecting you to be an enemy! Most people here are really friendly. I kind of forgot there were dangerous people around.

[cant_sitstill]

Friendly? I don't know if I can get used to that after having people trying to kill me.

[nomorelightning]

There's still people here that'll do that, I'm sure, but I hadn't run into any at all until meeting you. So I got too relaxed.

[He smiles.]

I'll have to be more on guard from now on!

[cant_sitstill]

Yeah, you should.

I've seen some surveillance cameras. Any idea what that's about?

[nomorelightning]

I'll do my best! [He salutes, smiling.]

I don't know who they belong to, but they haven't been here long. I think they were set up just before I came here.
