Plot of Shadow Moses

Mission Introduction

The government calls Snake back for a mission in Alaska on Shadow Moses Island. Rogue members of Foxhound had started a group when they stole some nukes and were trying to take over the island to make it their own. The leader of the group was Liquid Snake, someone who looked identical to Solid Snake (Liquid snake is Eli). It is then come to be known that the rogue team has a metal gear. Snake is sent on the mission with nothing but a tranquilizer gun, forcing Snake to infiltrate, get past all of the guards, find Liquid Snake, and destroy the Metal Gear without any real assistance.

Friends and Foes

Solid Snake fights a few interesting characters, including Vulkan Raven, Sniper Wolf, Psycho mantis, and Gray Fox. Ocelot is not killed in his battle with Snake, and becomes an important character in later games, and Psycho Mantis is actually The Floating Boy from The Phantom Pain. Vulkan Raven and Sniper Wolf die to Snake, and Gray Fox escapes. Snake also befriends two people, Meryl and Otacon. Meryl is a new member of Foxhound and also Snake’s Commander’s niece. Otacon was working for the group, being forced to make the next metal gear. Otacon is Huey’s son, and Otacon leaves the rebelled group for the reason that he does not want to be like his father.

Fighting Metal Gear

Liquid Snake controls the Metal Gear like a mech suit, which Snake is able to take down with the aid of Gray Fox. Gray Fox helps Snake because they were allies once at Foxhound. Liquid Snake informs Solid Snake that they are clones of Big Boss, and that Solid Snake is the inferior clone with all of the recessive genes, while Liquid Snake is the superior clone with all of the dominant genes. Snake is still able to take down Liquid Fox, save Meryl and Otacon, and escape. His commander tells Snake to abandon this life, and that he will cover for Snake, saying that he died on the island.
