[He knows what it feels like to be on the receiving end of your needles, Shalashaska. So you'll have to forgive him if he still feels a little wary of you, despite now being, well. Comrades. Nobody has seen him so vulnerable in years.] I-I do.
Whatever happened in Room 101... it's-- over, right? Then we should try to leave it past us. [He... hesitantly, extends a hand to you.] I-I'm just happy to be back at Mother Base. I don't think we've been presented, I'm Dr. Emmerich. My friends call me Huey.
Perhaps. There's still many questions that haven't been answered and I can't promise that we won't be going back there. We have to find out the truth. [Sorry, Huey, but it might not be over just yet.]
I have heard of you, doctor. You're the great Metal Gear engineer that designed Metal Gear ZEKE during the Peace Walker incident.
Good. He's the kind of dog that will fight for you and even die for you. I just used my instincts and animalism to train him. [Yeah, he's good at that.]
[He takes note you're still calling him "Doctor" instead of his nickname, and nods. A little bit dry:] I can cooperate without the need for torture, y'know. I'd rather prevent people from thinking they have to resort to anything like Room 101 - Getting me to talk is actually not that hard.
[He gives you a smile.] But, you've heard of me, then. ZEKE indeed used to be my pride and joy. What can I do for you?
The thing is, will you tell us what you think we want to hear? Or will you talk and actually speak the truth with serum? We can't trust you yet, Emmerich. Like Kaz said you're not a Diamond Dog yet. You have to earn that trust.
[Ocelot doubts that Kaz will actually allow Huey to become a Diamond Dog. Not after what happened at MSF.]
You can do a great many things. Firstly, start off by telling us the truth. What happened back at MSF? The whole Peace Walker event and your involvement in it.
[Is that a hint of bitterness in his otherwise pleasant voice?] I'm doing the best I can.
I-I already said everything I know. Please, don't tell me this is going to end up in another trip to the basement, Shalashaska. I'm working for the base here, isn't that proof enough?
