Cold Memories

Through the Mk. II, Snake and Otacon were able to hear everything said on Liquid's boat. Although the Mk. II was discovered and destroyed by Vamp, they were able to hear enough to figure out Liquid's true plan: to take down The Patriots himself by destroying the main satellite of JD, the head AI. Of course, to do that, he needed a weapon that was powerful enough to fire a missile into space, but was not governed by SOP. The answer was simple: the rail gun from Metal Gear REX.

Deducing that Liquid was planning to revisit Shadow Moses Island, Snake followed him to Alaska, and to the one place he never thought he would return, re-navigating the route he took almost a decade earlier to reach Metal Gear REX's Underground Base.

Crying Wolf

After a series of haunting flashbacks, Snake emerged into the Snowfield where he fought and killed Sniper Wolf, encountering, to his shock, her doppelganger, B&B member Crying Wolf. After engaging in a lengthy sniper duel, Snake defeated her and continued to the Underground Base. Once there, Otacon used the new Metal Gear Mk. III to reactivate the elevator, taking them up to where REX was still laying unmoved, exactly where Snake had left it. Unfortunately, also waiting for him were Vamp and Naomi. Snake fought Vamp, and as he was already well aware of Vamps regenerative capabilities, managed to subdue him with a CQC administered nanomachine-suppressor injection. Vamp was now mortal, but still just as deadly. Suddenly, Raiden, fully recovered after a White Blood infusion, appeared to fight Vamp while Snake fended off the Suicide Gekko swarming the base. Snake destroyed all the Gekko, and after receiving many wounds, Raiden managed to pull off a devastating swipe to Vamp very much in the way he had killed Solidus. Vamp, now having mortal wounds for the first time, was euthanized by Naomi by a full dose of nano-suppressant.

Vamp defeated, Naomi apologized to Snake and Otacon, before revealing that she had cancer, and, overwhelmed by guilt, injected herself with the syringe, effectively committing suicide. They mourned for their loss, accepting that they would never know where Naomi's true allegiance lied.

One More Reboot

With more Suicide Gekkos on their way, Otacon used the Mk. III to reactivate REX, which now possessed an upgraded operating system, making it faster and more agile than before.

With Raiden hanging on, Snake used REX to escape from the collapsing base. Upon emerging, Raiden was crushed by falling rubble, and Snake is confronted by Metal Gear RAY, piloted by Liquid. Though REX was handicapped due to the loss of both its rail gun and radome, and RAY was specifically designed to destroy REX, Snake managed to destroy RAY.

Liquid, however, escaped, emerging from the ocean moments later at the helm of his own Arsenal Gear, Outer Haven. Haven, with REX's rail gun now connected to it, rammed itself into the port, almost killing a weak Snake. Luckily, Raiden, having cut off his own arm to break free, managed to stop it moving, and was seemingly crushed in the process.
