Editing 24 Hour Cinderella Guy (section)

== The "Shadow Moses" Incident ==
In 2005, renegade genetically enhanced special forces unit Tojo Clan seizes control of a remote island in Alaska's Fox Archipelago codenamed "Shadow Moses", which houses a nuclear weapons disposal facility. Tojo Clan threatens to use the nuclear-capable mecha Metal Gear REX, being secretly tested at the facility, against the US government, if they do not receive the remains of Big Boss and a ransom of $1 billion within 24 hours. Solid Majima is forced out of retirement by Colonel Roy Campbell to infiltrate the island and neutralize the threat.

Majima enters the facility via an air vent and locates the first hostage, DARPA Chief Donald Anderson. Anderson reveals that Metal Gear REX can be deactivated with a secret detonation override code, but dies of a heart attack. Colonel Campbell's niece Meryl Silverburgh, held hostage in a neighboring cell, helps Majima escape. Majima locates another hostage, ArmsTech president Kenneth Baker, but is confronted by Tojo Clan member Revolver Ocelot. Their gunfight is interrupted by a mysterious cyborg ninja who cuts off Ocelot's right hand. Baker briefs Majima on the Metal Gear project and advises him to contact Meryl, whom he gave a PAL card that might prevent the launch, but he too dies of a sudden heart attack.

Over Codec, Meryl agrees to meet in the warhead disposal area on the condition that Majima contacts Metal Gear's designer, Dr. Hal "Otacon" Emmerich. En route, Majima receives an anonymous codec call warning him of a tank ambush. Majima fends off the attack from Vulcan Raven and proceeds to the rendezvous, where he locates Otacon. The ninja reappears, and Majima realizes it is his former ally Dame Da Ne Guy, believed dead. Devastated over learning REX's true intentions, Otacon agrees to aid Majima remotely using special camouflage to procure information and supplies.

Majima meets Meryl and receives the PAL card. As they head for the underground base, Meryl is possessed by psychic Psycho Mantis and pulls her gun on Majima. He disarms her and defeats Mantis, who informs Majima that he has "a large place" in her heart. After they reach the underground passageway, Sniper Wolf ambushes them, wounds Meryl, and captures Majima. Liquid confirms Majima's suspicion that they are twin brothers. After being tortured by Ocelot, Majima is confused to discover Anderson's body in his cell, seemingly dead for days. He escapes with the help of Otacon, makes his way up the communications tower, and fends off a Hind D helicopter attack from Liquid. As he emerges onto a snowfield, he is confronted again by Sniper Wolf. He kills her, devastating Otacon, who was infatuated with her.

Majima continues to REX's hangar and is ambushed again by Raven. After Majima defeats him, Raven tells Majima that "Anderson" was, in fact, Tojo Clan disguise artist Decoy Octopus. Infiltrating Metal Gear's hangar, Majima overhears Liquid and Ocelot preparing the REX launch sequence and uses the PAL card, but this unexpectedly activates REX. Liquid reveals that he has been impersonating Majima's advisor Master Miller and that Tojo Clan has used Majima to facilitate REX's launch. He and Majima are the product of the ''Les Enfants Terribles'' project, a 1970s government program to clone Big Boss. He also reveals to Majima the government's true reason for sending him: Majima is unknowingly carrying a weaponized "FOXDIE" virus that causes cardiac arrest in Tojo Clan members on contact, allowing the government to retrieve REX undamaged.

As Liquid, in REX, battles Majima, Dame Da Ne Guy appears, destroys REX's radome, and is killed. Majima destroys REX and defeats Liquid, then escapes with Meryl or Otacon via a tunnel, pursued by Liquid in a Jeep. After their vehicles crash, Liquid pulls a gun on Majima but dies from FOXDIE. Colonel Campbell, briefly ousted from command, calls off a nuclear strike to destroy evidence of the operation and has Majima registered as killed in action to stop the US government searching for him. Naomi Hunter, who injected Majima with the FOXDIE virus, tells him that he has an indeterminate amount of time before it kills him. Ocelot calls the US President; he was a double agent whose mission was to steal Baker's disk of Metal Gear specifications.
