METAL GEAR: TENCHI Episode 5: The Final Preparations On Earth Scene: The Masaki Shrine where preparations had started... (Washu and Otacon are doing maintenance work on the Yagami. Washu is quite active as usual, but Otacon is a bit silent.) Washu: Hey, you OK? You look like crap... Otacon: I'm alright...I just hadn't slept since the withdrawl... Washu: Two days, huh? Go ahead and get some sleep while I work on this! Otacon: Are you sure about that? Yagami is a rather large ship... Washu: HEY! Who d'ya think you're talkin' to, huh? Otacon: Lemme guess..."The greatest scientific genius in the universe." Washu: YUP!! Say it without enthusiasm, and kiss your ass good-bye! Otacon: ... Well, I'll go ahead and rest now... Washu: Sweet dreams! (Mei Ling comes in carrying some refreshments with her.) Mei Ling: Thirsty, anyone? Otacon: (headed off to the house) No, thank you... Washu: Yeah...I'll have sumthin'! Mei Ling: (hands the glass of lemonade) Here... Washu: (downs the glass in seconds) >>BUUUURRRRP!<< Thanks! (Continues working on the Yagami) Mei Ling: (in a low tone) Dirty little elf! Washu: What was that?! Mei Ling: Nothing! (Meanwhile, Tenchi is helping Dr. Naomi Hunter in the kitchen making some food similar to C-Rations. Somehow, the atmosphere seems to be pleasant.) Naomi: Wow, Tenchi! You're pretty good at cooking! Tenchi: I learned a little from Sasami. Naomi: For a...what was her age? Six? Tenchi: 708. Naomi: (Shocked)...Seven...hundred...eight? Tenchi: Yeah. Naomi: ...Anyway, for a little girl, she can cook very well. She already helped doing half of what is probably needed on this mission. Tenchi: (sniffs the air for a second) Hey, what's that perfume you're wearing? Naomi: Perfume? Tenchi: Yeah...Smells pretty good. I'm just wondering what it is... Naomi: I'm not wearing perfume...! Tenchi: ! (Suddenly, Ryoko phases thorugh the wall in front of Tenchi and almost tackles him.) Ryoko: Oh, Tenchi! Don't tell me you're leaving me for Naomi!! Tenchi: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT????!!! (Suddenly, Ayeka enters from another room...Y'all know what to expect!) Ayeka: Ryoko! What do you think you're doing?!!! We're supposed to help the Colonel make tranquilizer darts! Ryoko: Is that so? Why are YOU wearing that perfume Tenchi was smelling earlier? Naomi: ? (Starts getting pissed) Would you two cut it out?! We're trying to WORK!! Ryoko & Ayeka: WHAT ARE YOU DOING, FLIRTING WITH TENCHI???!!!!!!!!!! (While this goes on, Kiyone is about to pass Col. Roy Campbell before she stops to greet him.) Kiyone: What's up, Colonel? Campbell: Those two left and there's still a lot of darts to make! Kiyone: I'm not doing anything right now, so I'll help! Campbell: Bless your heart! (As the two start working on the darts, Mihoshi drops by...With a cold.) Mihoshi: Is there any medicine here? (Spots the darts) Ah! Here it is? Campbell: What? Kiyone: No, don't!! (Mihoshi has already injected herself with one dart) ...Too late. Mihoshi: (dizzy, and moves around like a drunk) I'm feeling a little sleepy...(drops down on the ground) zzzZZZzzzZZZ Campbell: Well, at least we know the darts will have an effect on the guards... Kiyone: Until she wakes up, we don't have to worry about her breaking anything... (Meanwhile, Snake and Grandpa Katsuhito are in the shrine meditating.) Snake: Are the things that those people are doing normal? Grandpa: Yes. Snake: ...damn. (Nobuyuki stops by with a few snacks for Snake and Grandpa) Nobuyuki: Hey, guys! Grandpa: Ah...Brought a few snacks, have you? OK, Snake...Let's eat. Snake: OK. Scene: The Yagami's cockpit in Space (Night has fallen, and the preparations are complete. The Yagami is full, carrying the Masaki house, the group, and a hell of a lot of other things... Soon, the Galaxy Police Station is in view.) Minagi: So...it's come down to this, has it? Nagi: I slept very well yesterday, yourself? Minagi: Yeah... Campbell: OK, here's the basic plan: Minagi, you'll take the first 15 floors; Nagi, you'll take the second 15 floors; Snake will... Tenchi: (interrrupts) I'll take the third 15... Campbell: Are you up to it? Tenchi: (transforms into his Jurai battle armor while activating the Tenchi Master Key) I'm pretty sure... Campbell: Don't do anything stupid...And stay alive. I don't want to have your death on my conscience... Tenchi: Got it! Campbell: Then it's final...Snake has the last 15 floors. There's only one codec left, so each floor that you've passed through, contact me at frequency 141.12. I want you all to meet back alive to figure this little riddle of a mission out! Tenchi: Wait! I thought Nagi or Minagi knew of what was going on! Minagi: I dunno why the Chief betrayed the GP! Nagi: I'm clueless as to why everyone here is being hunted... Tenchi: Oh. (The door slides open, and Solid Snake enters, wearing his Sneaking Suit, and armed with a SOCOM that's loaded with the tranquilizer darts.) Snake: So the plans are final...Any objections to them? (all is silent) None, huh? Get ready, then. We're about to enter enemy territory...There's no turning back. TO BE CONTINUED...
