Outer Heaven Uprising[]
- Main article: Outer Heaven Uprising
In 1995, Diane provided her expertise to FOXHOUND agent Solid Snake, informing him of the weaknesses of each of Outer Heaven's mercenaries during Operation Intrude N313.[2] The only enemies whose weakness she could not identify were the Bloody Brad cyberoids and Outer Heaven's secret Commander-in-Chief, Big Boss.[3][4] Diane apparently had romantic feelings for Snake, but never expressed them to him.[4] She lived with her older brother Steve, who would often answer Snake's calls only to be annoyed with him and provide excuses for Diane's absence.[5][6][7]
