Snake initiates a codec call

SNAKE: All right colonel, I’m inside Diddy’s room. There are mirrors on every wall, and it looks like professional grade recording equipment. There’s a sign above the door. It says “Welcome to my inner rectum”. What does that mean?
COLONEL: I think it’s some kind of warning. And Diddler could be anywhere, since he managed to acquire stealth camoflouge. I’d watch out if I were you, Snake.
SNAKE: There’s no sign of Diddy. How am I supposed to find him?
COLONEL: We’ve managed to revive Johnny in the medical bay after he was attacked by Diddler. It’s going to be a few months before he can walk again, but he’s been able to give us some clues.
SNAKE: Clues?
COLONEL: Apparently, there’s a characteristic smell when Diddler is nearby. Otacon, can you explain?

OTACON: Snake, are you familiar with Cyclopentasiloxane-D5?
SNAKE: Cyclo what? Otacon, what are you talking about?!
OTACON: Cyclopentasiloxane-D5. It’s a compound that’s found in personal silicone lubricants. People use it for… uh… well… you know…
SNAKE: You mean like Astroglide? Sure, I use it all the time to help put on my sneaking suit.
OTACON: What?! Okay, I guess that’s one use for it…
SNAKE: What does this have to do with Diddy?
OTACON: Well, when we revived Johnny after the attack, he kept explaining a sweet smell he noticed just before. We brought him a few sample products to sniff, and he was able to make the connection. But we ran into a problem.
SNAKE: Problem?

OTACON: Normally, Cyclopentasiloxane-D5 is classified as an odorless compound. There’s no way for us to develop a detector without a smell. But it turns out that’s only true with purified D5. In regular manufacturing, trace cyclic siloxanes and low-level volatile impurities are always present. Each manufacturer has a distinctive blend, giving each one a signature odor.

Return to codec call

SNAKE: So you found out which silicone lubricant Johnny smelled before the attack.
OTACON: We did, Snake. It’s Sliquid.
SNAKE: LIQUID??
OTACON: No Snake, Sliquid! With an S! It’s one of their older compounds before they went fully organic. Diddler must have bought these by the 55 gallon drum and is using up old stock. I’ve created a scent pattern that the nanomachines in your sneaking suit can detect. I’m uploading it remotely now.

SNAKE: I think I see a pattern coming up, but there’s a concentration right behind me. Is there something wrong with it?
OTACON: SNAKE WATCH OUT!!!

DIDDY: NOW IT’S MY SNAKE THAT’S GETTING SOLID!

MGS Boss music starts

MGS codec memes are the epitome of “well, you had to be there”.

Snake: P. Diddy?

Colonel: That’s right. Full name Person Diddler. He’s going to be very attracted to your skin tight sneaking suit.

Use that to your advantage. Be careful, Snake!

At work, we have people that build components based on what’s on their “in rack”. If it looks empty but it’s the middle of the day, they’ll work slower to make the work last. If the rack is full but they are feeling overloaded, they’ll also work slower to make sure more doesn’t get piled on top. If it’s “just right” on volume and difficulty, they will work really fast.

I guess what I’m saying is, maybe the kid knows by doing a task in 3 minutes, they will be assigned more work? I’m sure they can do things they want to do extremely fast.
