Have you ever heard the proverb about how you grow a tree for only ten years, but you have to grow men over a hundred?

I guess not then. In English it means that human progress is tied with education and that you have to nurture those skills and talents over time for the betterment of everyone. Which is why I've brought myself here.

There is a time to say goodbye to the military and lead a quieter life, like others I know. Because you can't stay in that kind of environment forever. I loved studying when I was in university and returning the favour is probably the best to do. Plus there will be new people to meet and new technologies to develop. It's a really conducive atmosphere to learning, collaboration - oh.

Really, there's nothing for me to lose. I like having the free time too. Makes it easier to catch up on reading.

Well, I was never really a soldier to begin with Snake though I was a commanding officer of a ship, that was cool. Nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy some peace time.

Was it at least a cool boat? No, there's nothing wrong with that.

Listen, Mei Ling, I need you to do me a favor.

It saved your behind, if that's what you mean.

What is it this time?

oh well that's pretty cool, then

The only people that know I'm here are you, Otacon, and Raiden.

I want to keep it that way. If anyone else asks, I'm Pliskin.

Wow, you haven't used that name since 2009. I can guess I can understand though. The whole "I'm Solid Snake" deal may scare off some people.

And Otacon's here? Well, I'm not surprised. He did say that he'd spend his days chronicling the rest of your life...

2009 wasn't that long ago...

He did?

... Yeah, it kinda was.

Oh no. Not again.

[Mei Ling facepalms. She had the exact same conversation with Raiden.]

To save you the trouble of... well, everything, I'll get to the point.

When I was talking to Raiden, I found out that the last he remembered was S3 plan. And then it occured that I was actually not of the same time as him. Because...

[Deep breath, this sounds seven kinds of ridiculous outside a film.]

I'm from the future.
