[ The video feed clicks on, showing the waters by New Bark Town, as well as the ferry nearby. There's some smoke coming from off-screen, and the camera slowly moves to look at the cause of it.

There's a Torkoal sitting by the water's edge, looking grumpily up at the video feed before cocking its head and snorting. The feed clicks off.

A few moments later it returns, this time facing a man... A very old man. He's sporting a beaten up looking bandanna, a gray mustache and a large, poorly made bandage covering the left side of his face. He stares into the video, the corners of his mouth turned ever so slightly into a frown, his eyes carrying deep pain within them, but his gaze is firm. Snake was back. ]

Kept you waiting, huh?

[ His voice his gravely, and he ventures a bitter smile, before coughing harshly, dropping the Poke Gear momentarily. He picks it up again, clearing his throat, though the video goes back to staring out over the lake. ]

Looks like this place isn't done with me yet... Wonder just how much has changed... [ He snorts. ] There's no way in hell my old team is still here, is there? [ The Torkoal makes a hissing sound and Snake gives a short laugh. ] Don't worry, Boss. I'm not replacing you... [ He begins coughing again, this time more harshly, and the feed cuts out. ]

( [Action for New Bark Town people!] )

This is Snake. Otacon, do you read me? I didn't think I'd be dropped off somewhere so... weird looking. Wasn't I supposed to protect Big Boss's corpse? And what about Raging Raven? Big Mama's badly injured, and I don't know how long she'll last at this rate... Anyway, that aside, I might as well inform you of my location. I appear to be in a small town, and my clothes are... Hnn... Not exactly what I had in mind for wearing. I don't have any of my gear, not even my codec, so I'm stuck with this weird looking thing. Apparently, it's called a "Poke Gear". Hell if I know, all I managed to figure out was how to write and talk with it. I guess that's good for starts. Oh yeah, I, uh... I found a weird looking egg outside in the grass while I was scouting the area. It started to rain, so I brought it with me. It's kind of big, maybe about 30cm tall and 25cm wide. It's got triangles and circles all over it, too. I've never seen an egg like this before... I wonder how it tastes.
