Serpiente: esto es serpiente. Coronel, puedes escucharme?

campbell: Alto y claro. Cuál es la situación, Serpiente?

Serpiente: I’ve arrived in a sort of digital space. Hard to know exactly what’s going on, but I’m in a blank room, and the wordsNintendo Life’ y ‘Box Art Brawl appear to be materialising in front of me.

campbell: ¿Qué?! Okay, you’ll have to make your way out, de alguna manera. But make sure nobody sees you.

Serpiente: There’s something else. There’s a leaderboard in the back of the room; aparentemente last week’s Box Art Brawl featured something called Tortugas Ninja mutantes adolescentes IV: tortugas en el tiempo. Coronel, what’s going on?

campbell: No tengo ni idea. What else does it say?

Serpiente: It says that North America and Europe won the vote with 76%, with Japan trailing at 24%. Is this the work of FoxHound?

campbell: FoxHound disbanded after the Shadow Moses incident, Serpiente. You should know this.

Serpiente: Hrrrrm. espera – there’s something else. The leaderboard has changed. It’s now displaying something calledEngranaje de metal: babel fantasma‘… Metal Gearrr?! Coronel, is there a new Metal Gear prototype I’m not aware of?!

campbell: It’s a possibility. We might have to wait and see what the vote is on this one to determine our next move. Who are the participants?

Serpiente: América del norte, Europa, y japon. It’s a three-way battle.

campbell: I see. Okay, stay where you are for now, Serpiente. Si lo necesitas, you can contact me on Codec. The frequency is 140.85. When you want to use the Codec, push the select button. When we need to contact you, the Codec will beep. When you hear that noise, press the select button. The Codec’s receiver directly stimulates the small bones of your ear. No one but you will be able to hear it.

Serpiente: Entiendo. Okay, I’m ready to vote.

Serpiente: Coronel, I’m in front of the North American box art.

campbell: Excelente, Serpiente. Age hasn’t slowed you down one bit. Now what do you see?

Serpiente: I see, uhhme.

campbell: Are you sure this isn’t another clone of Big Boss?

Serpiente: No, this is me. I look far too handsome to be anyone else. Looking at the design, it appears to have been drawn by an artist known as Yoji Shinkawa. He’s captured my features pretty well; maybe his skills have been boosted by nanomachines.

campbell: Could be. I like this design too, but we need to see the others to make an informed decision.

Serpiente: Entiendo.

Liquid Snake: BROTHERRRRRR!

Serpiente: Liquid!

Liquid Snake: It’s been too long, hermano! I just happened to drop in; I wanted to share my thoughts on this particular design here from Europe. I must say, despite it showcasing a clearly inferior clone of Big Boss, I rather like it, todo dicho! Who’s that woman with you though?

Serpiente: Sergeant Christine Jenner. ‘Chris’ para abreviar. She helped me out during the Galuade incident in Metal Gear: babel fantasma.

Liquid Snake: babel fantasma? Ridiculousis that even canon?

Serpiente: No, but I wouldn’t expect you to understand anyway. It was made for a system called the Game Boy Color.

Liquid Snake: Very interesting Snake, but have I ever told you about the ‘Les Infants Terribles’ proyecto?

Serpiente: I’m going.

Liquid Snake: Aún no, Serpiente! It’s not over yet!

Serpiente: I’m gone.

Liquid: espera-

campbell: I hear it’s amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!

Serpiente: What..? Coronel, are you okay?

*boop*

*beep beep, beep beep*

campbell: An anemone or clematis plant’s juice can cause a rash. When pruning them, its a good idea to wear gloves.

Serpiente: Coronel, snap out of it!

*boop*

*beep beep, beep beep*

campbell: La caja de cartón de Metal Gear Solid es un personaje más popular que, something happened to me last Thursday when I was driving home. I had a couple of miles to go; I looked up and saw a glowing orange object in the sky, to the east! It was moving very irregularlySuddenly there was intense light all around me, and when I came to, I was home. What do you think happened to me?

Serpiente: RAIDEN ISN’T HERE!

*boop*

*beep beep, beep beep*

Serpiente: Go away, Coronel. Everybody out there, make sure you vote for your favourite box art and get me out of here!
