[Gruff, masculine, smokers voice:] Define a 'leader'. A commander - And I'm looking for entirely subjective opinions. What qualities does a man - or a woman - have to possess that you would follow him or her no matter what, no matter where. What inspires you; what's worth your dedication? A great man with a great cause? Or maybe you don't follow

[Yaaaay, woooork.]

I noticed. Don't worry. I'm not going to cause any more trouble on that front.

[Says the man who has already tied Snake down to his own bed in order to interrogate him - and has plans to cockblock the hell out of him and Otacon. THE POTENTIAL COCKBLOCKING SAVED YOUR EARS FROM BEING BITCHED OFF, BB.]

[Almost jokingly:] You could always try expanding underground.

[Oh god, yes, please, let's have an underground base .... housing giant robots.]

I'm not sure if the terrain is cut out for that. But it's worth a shot, and probably safer, too ... [seriously thinking about that.]

- And I hope. Don't make me regret I stuck you two in one room. [refering to you and Snake, obviously. If Otacon has to jump between something again... 8|]

Perhaps we should do some tests to find out. Nobody would expect an underground base beneath a warehouse - and we can reinforce the walls to lessen risks. [Guess who else is thinking seriously about it?]

...heh. Oh, don't worry. Nobody'll get killed over it. [Liquid sounds far too amused.]

Voice // Private

[heavendivided]

It would be a big project, in any case. I should - get some [GET SOME, not KIDNAP SOME] professional to check it out. I know there's a basement, but I've never thought about expanding that. It could be a possibility.

[underground command base om nom nom ...

...we could even make it hexagon shaped. how about a nuclear launch platform -]

Good. One thing less to worry about.

Voice // Private

[ysobritish]

[Considering how amoral he is, Liquid probably would not have minded if he'd heard those thoughts - except what the hell would they do with nukes in a place this small?]

Don't worry. I won't get either of them killed.

[Now, bug the hell out of them? That he can do.]

Voice // Private

[heavendivided]

[Well no one said that nukes are affected by the pull, right? We can just nuke America from here and blame Canada.]

You sound vaguely amused. I wonder if that's a bad sign.

Voice // Private

[ysobritish]

[Ooooh, Liquid would approve. And all the Americans would be all "Wait... Canada can actually do shit that means anything to us?"]

Hm? No, not at all, Jack!

[His voice falters just a tiny bit at the unnatural name. It feels wrong on his tongue, dammit. But then it's gone and he's back to his usual smug evil self.]

Not for me, anyway.

Voice // Private

[heavendivided]

[It...feels really unfamiliar to him too. Now he's half-tempted to tell Liquid to just call him FATHER again, but that would make him an indecisive bitch. XD]

Hrngh. Do I even want to know ... ?

[ysobritish]

Let's just say that the two of them are lucky I don't sleep much.

[Or perhaps they aren't. It's certainly not going to save them from him.]

Voice // Private

[heavendivided]

What, are you a loud snorer?

Voice // Private

[ysobritish]

...

Tch.

Screamer, actually. But I was referring more to the fact that I'm less likely to be in the room while they are.

Voice // Private

[heavendivided]

Nightmares?

Voice // Private

[ysobritish]

Eleven years and counting. I try not to sleep deeply enough to dream.

Voice // Private

[heavendivided]

They don't go away.

Voice // Private

[ysobritish]

Never. I'm resigned to them, by now.

...you too?

Voice // Private

[heavendivided]

Name me one soldier who doesn't suffer them.
