[voice]
[The audio starts with a brief whine of feedback. After working with nanocommunications for so many years, switching back to an old fashioned broadcast can be a little strange in itself. But Snake is nothing if not adaptable, and old habits are easy enough to fall back into. People familiar with Big Boss will recognize the voice. Different in the

[It's not possible.]
[He repeats those words like a mantra inside of his head.]
[Snake can't be here, he cant, fate wouldn't be that cruel.]

[He'd stared up at Snake as the life ebbed from him at last, as the pain overtook him and his body gave out entirely. He remembered reaching for him, remembered Snake not even moving and why should he? Liquid was dying and there was no need for speeches, he'd made enough of those.]
[The last thing he'd seen was Snake's face.]
[Slowly, he lowered his hand to the controls.]

[This had to be the one he was familiar with!]
You just got here?

[Lucky you, Raiden, Snake recognizes that voice. It takes him a minute to mess with the settings on the CLD so he can respond in kind. The video is faint and grainy. Sort of like the visuals you get with CODEC, really.]

...Well then, uh, welcome to... here.

[A shifting sound before he continues. Though you can't see it, he's rubbing absently at the bridge of his nose. He could really use a cigarette, but he's fresh out.]
...Canada's less of a world and more of a country. Border's just a bit north of where we are now, if this is really Boston. [Not that this place or Siren's Port look like anything resembling normal.] Though they've both been a little different than I remember. The story about the war is new.

[He is frowning a little.]
