>You slowly open the door, making sure to check all around as you exit the hanger.
>The next area is outdoors.
>There are a few search towers, several roaming guards and many stacks of crates to hide behind.
>Snow covers most of the ground.
>It's also currently snowing, so you may have an easier time due to obscured vision.
>... As long as you see them and they don't see you.
>Most guards you've encountered haven't been able to see in the snow nearly as well as you can.
>Now... where will you enter?
>There's a front door, but... you'll only use it if you knock out every guard in your path and destroy all surveillance cameras.
>That's too risky.
>In your preparation for the mission, you were told there was an open vent near the front door.
>You stay low as you creep closer to several stacks of crates.
>These will help you evade the guards' sight.
>As you go along the outer side of the stack, you hear a guard's footsteps crunching in the snow on the other side.
>"Wait... are these... hoofprints?"
>Your eyes go wide at the realization.
>You move as quietly as you can to the other side of the stack, making sure no one will see you.
>"They look really weird. I'd better report this."
>You peer around the corner and shoot him with your tranquilizer.
>He falls into the snow.
>... That could've gone better.
>Either way, he won't bother you again.
>You sneak around the crates more, until you notice something in the middle of the spotlights.
>There's a gun.
>It isn't a tranquilizer of any kind.
>That gun is meant for killing.
>... You'd be tempted to go and take it... if it wasn't in the middle of a search light trap.
>Taking it would be asking to get discovered.
>You put it out of your mind and sneak around to the other side.
>Just as you were informed, there's a vent large enough for you to crawl inside.
>"What was that noise?"
>Without a moment's notice, you dive into the vent and crawl as fast as you can.
 
>In the distance, you hear a faint voice.
>"Must be seeing things..."
>... Right.
>...
>You navigated the ventilation system as far as you could, until metal bars blocked one of two paths.
>Unfortunately, you don't know how far that one leads, but you can't get through it, so you take the other path instead.
>It takes you to another hanger-like area, but this one isn't for submarines.
>There are four tanks.
>The room also has a door large enough for the tanks to go through on the other side, as well as an elevator.
>Surprisingly, the room only has one guard and two cameras.
>Neither camera looks at the guard, so you tranquilize him and use the tanks as cover to sneak out of the cameras' sights.
>When you get to the guard, you search his unconscious moth body for anything useful.
>... He has ten tranquilizer rounds and a Level 1 Key Card.
>You take it all.
>The Key Card will be especially helpful; they were certainly helpful in previous missions.
>... When you get to the other side, you notice the large door has a large "2" on it.
>You're going to need a better Key Card to get through it.
>Instead, you go to the elevator.
>It only goes down, apparently.
>You could go to Floor B1 or Floor B2.
>-Incoming Call-
>... It's Colonel Minty.
>"Snake, you remember which of those two is which, right?"
"Floor B1 goes to this building's Supply Room, while Floor B2 goes to the Prisoner's Deck, right?"
>"Right, Anon. So... which one do you want to go to first? If you're lucky, the DARPA Chief and the ArmsTech President could be held there."
"..."
>"Stay safe, Snake."
>-End Transmission-
>Well, you should probably save...
>-Call: Amata-
>"Ah, Snake, do you wish to save?"
"..."
 
>Game Saved.
 
>"What do you plan to do next, Snake?"
>-End Transmission-
