ARCHIVED Metal Gear Secret Santa ARCHIVE

The ‘company’ Christmas party was a tradition for the Patriots started by Big Boss himself.  Unfortunately, the party had stuck around much longer than its founder.  Few of the current operatives remembered those days; most of them hadn’t even been alive in 1970.  That suited Revolver Ocelot just fine. One of the benefits of all your peers being gone- no one knew exactly who he was, or that they should be more careful around the genial old man sitting next to them.

It didn’t take a great deal of coaxing to convince the woman to talk: a pleasant rosé, a kindly expression, and some imaginary facts about his own life.  A few more leading phrases geared to making her want to confide in him and she was volunteering information.

Rosemary had many things to say but it was something she didn’t that caught his attention.  She didn’t have to.  He could see it as plain as day in her face, the shifting of her voice, the way she looked away when she talked about the man she’d been tasked with keeping an eye on.

She’d fallen in love with her target.  A situation he had some sympathy for given his own history.

Adamska mulled over the meaning of it as he nursed the same shot of vodka he’d had most of the night (He was working when he was at these parties.  He hadn’t actually gotten drunk at one since John had left.)   There were already tabs being kept on the young couple so he’d know if she broke from the script and the problem would be dealt with accordingly.  And the plan in the upcoming operation had always been for Raiden to win, but there hadn’t been much concern for if he’d live through it.  Perhaps…

It wouldn’t harm the ultimate goal if the boy survived.  There were a few elements Adamska could tweak, with minimal effort, that would drastically increase Raiden’s chances of living through the final confrontation.  Normally he wouldn’t have bothered, but perhaps it was the season, the whole Christmas mess that John had loved so dearly that was making him consider it.

He’d see what he could do.
