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.

[IS IT... the very same Mei Ling he's read all about in The Darkness of Shadow Moses?]

Are you the Mei Ling?

The Mei Ling? I don't know about that, I am a Mei Ling but whether it's the one you're looking for I'm not sure.

[She's just teasing you, Raiden.]

[Consider him teased.]

The same one who helped Snake out during the Shadow Moses incident. It's got to be you. What are you doing here?

Teaching. And I know who you are... Raiden. I should be asking you what you're doing here.

[... wasn't he a cyborg? Or am I just remembering wrong? Naah Mei Ling, you remember him smashing watermelons.]

[Yep, freshly post-Big-Shell Raiden has yet to cut those melons... OR HAS HE. (http://things-go-boom.livejournal.com/48592.html)]

I'm... the janitor here. It's nothing glamorous, but... [...YEAH THAT'S ABOUT IT.]

Wait... you know who I am?

I am a member of Philanthropy, you know. I know things that most people aren't meant to know.

But that's not the point. I know who you are and you know who I am. It's fair game. We can be friendly or adversarial with each other now, as you see fit.

[Philanthropy... he knows that group.]

I don't have any reason to be adversarial with you. It's just unexpected.

...Maybe Rosemary will find her way here next.
