Small flurries of snow began to float around me and delicately placed themselves in my hair. I'm finally here...Shadow Moses Island. A solider walked in front of me signaling me to follow. I could hear the loud crunch of the fresh snow beneath my boots. The soldier led me off the snow covered heliport and through the luckily nearby door The building was warm enough for me unzip my jacket revealing a black turtleneck.

His new recruit turned on her shoulder, towards Liquid in her sleep. There were beads of sweat forming on her forehead and a pained expression on her face, a nightmare. Not uncommon for soldiers, especially the elites. He grabbed his coat and wrapped Phoenix in it, she was also shaking, most likely due to the cold.
