dear_mun | On Fulton extracting EVERYTHING

Thought we'd get extra cash for every extraction.

We do it's just.....he keeps Fultoning all these mice and small animals. They don't really bring in that much GMP.

You never know, Kaz. Better bring them all intead of leaving traces behind.

[Besides, who knew if they got a rare animal? What about that?]

Edited 2015-09-13 20:21 (UTC)

I agree with you on that part. Stealth is paramount when out completing missions and taking any animal behind that's seen you might be necessary. We don't want any animals making a noise that would attract attention.

[You want a private zoo don't you, Boss?]

[Maybe? But have you seen all the fascinating animals there? I mean, he wrestled against a freaking bear AND won! How could he not fulton that thing and bring it home?]

If that's so, I'll keep bringing them all to Mother Base.

[Kaz is almost jealous that he hasn't, since he can't get out like he used to.]

To be honest I would love to see what animals you've met on your missions, Boss. It's just....I can't get out like I used to and it makes me angry. [Almost depressed.] Yet, the menagerie should allow me to see what you bring back.

[Perhaps, he was just angry at his mun. He can't be angry at the Boss.]

You're right, Boss. I'm sorry if I sounded angry at the idea. If it gains us GMP and stops the enemy from knowing you're there, it has to be good.

[Kaz's words ring a bell. While he knows the best he can do to share his exotic finds is to bring them back to Mother Base, he understands is just not the same. The beauty of exploring a new place, scouting the environment around, learning about its weather and the nature. It were things Kaz was now deprived to do, considering his current situation.]

[It's hard for him to get angry at you, no matter how bitter you made it sound. He knows this isn't your fault, and that you're in your right of feeling frustrated.]

I could bring pictures of the animals at the wilderness. I know is not the same, but it could make it up.

[What Kaz would do to do all the things he used to. He'd give his right arm and leg.... for it.]

Yeah, that will be great, Boss. I'd love to see a bear or a wolf if you've got one. Or any exotic birds you've managed to find.

[And that's a smirk on his face. To tell you the truth, he has already captured a bear, and he should be already caged in their zoo. How come no one told you?]

[But don't worry, he's going to fix that.]

We already got a bear. Wanna go see it? I can take you there.

Sure. [He's actually proud of you catching a bear, Boss. Only you could perform such a feat.]

Have you given him a name yet?

[You're just buttering him up, Kaz. It wasn't really that much: only a good dose of tranquilizer and putting up a fight.]

Not yet. Hopefully Ocelot won't name him "D-Bear". [He's got enough with the horse an DD as well.]

Let's name him together.

Edited 2015-09-14 21:21 (UTC)

[Not many men could have pulled it off, so yes he is impressed.]

D-Bear? Is everything going to be name as D-something? [He couldn't help but laugh softly at that. It felt good to laugh again through the pain.]

Ok. Any good ideas? Yogi? Big Bear?

[D-bear was already lame, but Yogi? He can't help but let out a small chuckle at the suggestion. Come on, Kaz. You can do so much better.]

How about Brown? That's the color of his fur. [That or maybe an afghan name? He found it in Afghanistan afrer all.]

Brown Bear? Huh. I don't know, Boss. What about Kaz Bear as in Kazbah? [That's even lamer and he hasn't even drunk any alcohol. Yeah, he's having fun with this.]

[Kaz-Bear? Now he smiles. Is almost endearing how they're trying to come up with names but end up only coming up with worst ones. Brings back memories of better times.]

[But then, there's one thing they're forgetting.]

We don't even know the bear's gender. What if we pick the wrong name?

Good point. Well, we could always name the bear Paz-bear, instead of Kaz-bear. [What? He was trying.]

[You're trying too hard, Kaz. For now, he better takes you to the zoo, see if the researchers there can give them any clue regarding the bear's gender. So hop in the car, we're going ~~shopping~~on a trip.]

[Hopefully and they will make it before Ocelot reaches the place. He'd hate having another D-animal registered on the base.]

Does it has to have a dash on its name? What's the japanese word for 'bear'?

クマ Kuma is the word for Bear in Japanese. [Because it's an easy name to remember anyway.]

Perhaps, we could teach our bear some tricks? Train him to be an elite trained animal. [Not circus tricks as such but train the bear like DD. Perhaps, he could accompany Boss on missions?]

[So 'Kuma' it's going to be. Good. That's an easy word to remember. He's already liking the ring on it, as he can already imagine calling the bear by it's name.]

[Although who's going to train him? Not you or him, of course. He was cut to be a soldier, not an animal tamer. Ocelot maybe? Could he even be able to tame a bear? He already did a splendid job with DD, but he's a dog.]

Sounds good. Not sure of how he'd perform on a mission though.

Perhaps, Ocelot can use his skills as an animal trainer to train up Kuma. Maybe even get the R+D team to fit out some bear armour. [Yep, because Diamond Dogs is about no limits and countless possibilities. They can do anything, right?]

Imagine taking Kuma into battle with you, Boss. Fully trained with armour and a set of sharp claws and razor sharp teeth to tear your enemies to shreds. If we find more of these bears out there, perhaps we could train an army of bears. [That might be a little more challenging, Kaz. Too much anime.]

[He doesn't say, but he can already hear R&D's cringe at the thought of request. On the other hand, he just stares at you in resigned silence while driving in straight line to the zoo. You're their second commander, and they wouldn't refuse your orders, so the chances they get the bear armor are pretty high.]

Kaz… [Wait, what? Have you lost your marbles? He has been trained to teach CQC to humans, not bears! What if Ocelot lost a limb during the bear training session? Or what if the bear went rogue against him and had to battle that fully equipped beast instead of fulfilling the mission?]

I'm not sure an army of bears would please the animals NGO.

I was thinking of having them get trained up like DD. He's almost like a wolf and if I know Ocelot, I know he can do it. It might be farfetched but Cipher have zombies and skulls working for them. What's a few armoured bears compared to what they have?

[They have all kinds of weird shit. Kaz just thought it might be a nice idea to have an army of killer bears on their side. The training might give Ocelot a hard time though.]

A man can dream though and I want to make things a reality.

[That's true, yet Cipher's Skull Unit is nothing but the result of human experiments and, as much as their troops didn't match their power, he didn't agree on crossing the line. Turning into human experiments wouldn't make them any better than Skull Face or Zero himself.]

[But, on the other hand, he hears your las phras and is that a pout? Are you pouting about a bear army? Gods. He needs to stop the car right there for a moment. Are you for real? Because damn… this is both hilarious and adorable. And when did he get to understand such feelinga anyway? Not even himself gets to understand what was going on in his head.]

[He stares at you, amused at your reaction. He doesn't even hesitate when he leans close, stealing a kiss from your lips, mumbling when he leana aback:] Can't promise an army of bears for you, but I can harden our troop's training instead.

[That said, he turns on the car again, getting back to driving.]

[Kaz frowned when the Boss stopped the car and then leaned across to kiss him. He actually kissed him whilst in view of possible recruits. Kaz felt himself blush and almost felt awkward at the response but secretly loved it. He loved any kind of affection given to him by the man he trusted the most.]

Boss...that- that would be good. [He swallowed then adjusted himself in his seat, as the car began to roll along the long stretch of connecting bridge.]

[Yes, he did kiss you in sake of putting the bear army idea to an end. Also because watching you fluster is too good. Do you really think no one has noticed what goes on between them? He can't tell for sure, but he has overheard conversation between their men, and that was enough for him to tell there were rumors spread.]

[It wasn't like he minded anyway. The sooner they knew, the merrier.]

[They make their way to their first stop: the landing platform, a chopper awaiting for them to reach the Animal Conservation platform. Doesn't take them long to arrive, dawn already breaking over the horizon.] Here we are.

This way.

[Kaz looked up at the chopper and nodded. Getting in wasn't as easy as it used to be when he still had both legs. He ignored any annoyed feelings right now and managed to hoist himself up into the chopper using his crutch as an aid. He'd have to get used to it if he went on any future missions with the Boss. Not that it would be a usual thing for him in the state he was in.]

To the animal conservation platform then. [He looked at the Boss and couldn't help but admire the man's determination around everything. It gave him focus and above all; hope.]

I--I could design a cheaper fulton system if you asked, you know. [He offers, all nervous smiles with a hidden barb somewhere where it's not obvious. He's still horribly scared of you, but this is a point he wants to make.]

[Oh, hey, Huey. While his mun has a soft spot for you, Kaz is still very bitter and very angry at what happened in Peace Walker and what happened to Mother Base.]

Emmerich. How would you design such a thing?

Edited 2015-09-14 06:03 (UTC)

[Huey!mun is absolutely ok with that, don't worry.]

... I'd need some time, of course. [He pushes his glasses, and doesn't quite meet your eyes.] And resources. But you do know how much I want to help this base, yes? Please.

[He plays this off as a joke, smiling:] I can be useful in R&D for more than what I already do. I'm already stuck in there all the time anyway.

[Kaz thinks on the idea for a few moments and then agrees. Why keep the engineer in the base if he's not going to be useful.]

I want to be sure that you're not working with Cipher anymore, Emmerich. The last Mother Base was precious to me, everything we had.....forgiveness, it can't easily be given. But, if you make yourself useful and prove to us that you can become a Diamond Dog someday, then perhaps you will have redeemed yourself.

Edited 2015-09-14 06:42 (UTC)

[There's a strange glimpse at another kind of vulnerability insinuated on his face right now, one rarely seen.] Miller... You're not the only one who lost something that day.

[And just like that, it's gone and replaced by his most earnest expression.] I know it won't be easily given. Wouldn't expect easy from you, I know that. But I will prove you I'm innocent, and if that means hard work and making myself useful... all the better. I want to be a Diamond Dog for real, y'know. Not-- banished to the death row of the pound like I've been.

Edited 2015-09-14 08:28 (UTC)

[He narrowed his eyes. Huey was right in that regard. Kaz wasn't the only one who had lost something that day, many people had.]

Right. No one just "becomes" a Diamond Dog. They have to earn it. Let's see what you can do with those engineering skills of yours. You'll be working in the R&D Department on Mother Base. I was thinking perhaps you could help improve our equipment, such as Boss's iDroid and make some more gadgets.

[He doesn't like to think of the things he lost. Huey fancies himself an optimist. But yeah, he needed to make that point.]

I'll be glad to. The Idroid is an absolutely fascinating piece of tech, I've been actually dying to get my hands on it, you know? [He bows his head, all pleasant now his nervousness is assuaged.] Thank you for the opportunity, Miller. I promise you won't be disappointed.

[He pauses, adds with a raised eyebrow:] ... Are you sure you don't want me to start by making a good arm prosthetic for you, though?

Edited 2015-09-15 03:28 (UTC)

Yeah, it is. [He wasn't sure if it was a good thing that Emmerich was dying to get his hands on it. Kaz still didn't trust him and he wasn't sure if the man would use it to his advantage.]

Good. I'm hoping you won't disappoint the Boss either. [Because there will be hell to pay if you do.]

No. I am not the priority here; the Boss is. He needs upgraded tech so we can beat Cipher and whatever they may be planning next. Mother Base takes priority. I want to be reminded of the pain they put me through, so will refuse any new limbs. ~~until perhaps later when he's calmed down a bit.~~

[It's just a manner of speech, honest. He's a technophile and the Idroid is genuinely interesting.]

[With a fonder tone:] I am capable of doing more than one thing at the same time, y'know. But I'll-- respect your decision. Though, if you ever want one, I'm pretty sure I could reverse-engineer the prosthetic Snake is currently wearing and make another for you. So you can match.

Edited 2015-09-15 21:51 (UTC)

[You and your technology, Huey.]

I am sure you are, Dr. Emmerich. That's why we've got you here at Mother Base and out of the clutches of that bastard, Skull Face. None of us would want him to have you develop multiple things for Cipher. He's done enough damage. [Kaz gave the engineer a long stare.]

I haven't given any thought about that and why should I? My comrades won't have the chance to have prosthetic limbs now that they are dead. It would be selfish to have me wear a metal arm, while they lie dead. The pain haunts me everyday, so that I can send Cipher the same pain that it struck me all those nine years ago. Bastards.

[And just as quickly, your long stare makes him nervous again, enough so he has to resist squirming on the inside. He tries to not show it, though, but he does push his glasses and lowers his gaze, trying to appease you.]

I will not try to change your mind, Commander. But... you know, I do know a bit about physical pain, too. And, if it is true that if your aiming f-for-- effectively striking back, you should be in the best shape you can. Just a thought.

[He was going to retort back and ask what Huey knew of real pain when he hadn't lost as much as Kaz had, but he decided against it. He just nodded quickly and bit back any retorts.]

I am aiming to cripple Cipher and cut off the head of the snake so to speak. I want them to beg for death. [Because he's seriously pissed, man.] Whether it be Zero or Skull Face, I want them both dead.

[That's the reason he specified physical pain, Kazuhira Miller. He's not going to touch what you must have felt at losing MSF, but please don't tell a man with a deformed spine that couldn't walk until very recently, "he doesn't know pain".]

[He smiles at you, soft. Such stubborness. He won't insist. Instead, he says:]Aah, but. You're not alone in that. And you won't be alone in revenge, either.

... Ahem. N-not like I know much of revenge anyway. But he is here, isn't it?

[Yeah, he doesn't have any experience in that, since his injuries are fairly recent. Only in the last nine years has he suffered with them. War wounds. You've had yours since birth, right?]

Is who here? What do you mean?

Edited 2015-09-18 07:12 (UTC)

[Indeed he has. His father's fault.]

[Huey clears his voice, explains:] Snake. Your Boss. With him by your side--- I wouldn't believe Cypher stands a chance, don't you think? And, that's a good thing.

[No one's perfect.]

The Boss. [Kaz stiffened at the mention of that name. The name that brought awe, fear, chaos and determination to many people.]

We are Diamond Dogs and he is our commander.
