Supposedly a weapon of mass destruction was being created within Outer Heaven and the western world got word of this around the year 1995. This is where FOXHOUND comes in.
FOXHOUND was a high-tech Special Forces unit commanded by the legendary soldier called Big Boss. The government ordered them to infiltrate Outer Heaven and Big Boss complied. He sent in Operative Gray Fox to asses the situation and neutralize whatever threat the weapon posed. His mission was called "Operation: Intrude N312." All was not well, for a few days contact with Gray Fox was lost. They only got one clue as to what happened and it was his last two words: "Metal Gear..."
This is what fueled the next mission called "Operation: Intrude N313." For this one, Big Boss decided to send in Rookie FOXHOUND operative Solid Snake. Infiltration was not easy or clean for that matter as he entered the area through its sewer system. He was able to find Gray Fox within the base eventially thanks to help by prisoner of wars (POWs) and resistance leader Kyle Schneider. Snake had no idea what a Metal Gear was or what it did until Gray Fox filled in the details. That it was a bi-pedal tank able to launch nuclear missiles from any kind of terrain. Snake was lucky to find out activation has not been done yet and it was being stored in the hangar. Gray Fox informed him of one last information and that was on who to find to know how to destroy the Metal Gear. Dr. Drago Petrovich Madnar, the creater of Metal Gear.
Outer Heaven being the home for many soldiers, had few key mercenaries that attempted to stop Snake in his path. The first two were Shotmaker and Machinegun Kid. They both fell to Snake's might as he continued on his path before having to disguise himself as an enemy officer to get into the Second Building. It was in the Second Building's basement that Dr. Madnar was at. Or, so Snake thought. ~!~ IT WAS A FAKE! The fake was a trap that Snake nimbly avoided. Confusion arose as his search continued as the mercenary Fire Trooper was the next to fall before Snake.
Another member of the resistance helped Snake finally find the real Dr. Madnar and even told him where to find a Rocket Launcher to defeat the two robotic TX-11's named the Bloody Brads. Two mercenaries that no gun could penetrate seemingly. These two machines were the guards to the area where Dr. Madnar was held.
Once freed, Madnar wouldn't tell Snake how to destroy the Metal Gear until Snake finds his daughter and brings her to him. So, snake had to get back to that basement with the trap in the Second Building. He was contacted by Diane, another resistance member, who helped Snake locate Ellen in the First Building's basement. He was able to use an underground tunnel that connected both buildings to reach her. She informed Snake that her father didn't create the Metal Gear on his own free will, he was forced!
Heading back to where he was before, Dr. Madnar tells Snake that the Metal Gear's model is called the TX-55 and that it's located on the 100th floor basement of the Third Building, and that he'd need Plastic Explosives set on it's feet in set order. Once in the Third Building, Snake is ambushed but slips past into the elevator.
Once at the basement door, Snake realizes he doesn't have the correct card key. But, thanks to Jennifer Snake finds he can blow up a wall to get an Oxygen Tank to go through a sewage duct to where the right card key is.
At the other side of the sewage ducts, the mercenary Coward Duck was waiting to challenge Snake. If Snake was to defeat him, he'll be able to get the card key he needs. Duck used boomerangs to attack Snake and for defense Duck used POWs. Snake just used his time and at the right opportunity he defeated Duck and rescued the POWs. One told Snake hes Jennifer's brother and that the ladder nearby would be needed to escape Outer Heaven.
Back at the 100th floor basement, Kyle Schneider contacted Snake on his CODEC and was going to let him know the truth behind Outer Heaven's leader. He was cutoff however before finishing. Confusion arose as Snake found another POW who was able to let Snake know of the truth Schneider attempted to tell: FOXHOUND commander and Outer Heaven's leader are one in the same...BIG BOSS!!!!!
Snake was devastated even as he made it to the Metal Gear's hangar. he planted the explosives as Madnar said and it was finally destroyed. Mission successful...as he thought! Outer Heaven's self destruct sequence was initiated and Snake was on a race to escape. The escape came short as the Legendary Soldier confronted Snake himself.
Snake then found out the truth behind his mission. He was a rookie, Big Boss never thought Snake would get this far and that with his failure comes false information to the public. But, he learned too much and by knowing what he knew, Snake has crushed Big Boss' ambitions. They battled to the end as the self-destruct sequence ticked down. Snake won the battle and quickly made his escape as he left Big Boss behind to his death.
Once finally out and the explosion behind him, HQ was informed of the destruction of Metal Gear and that "Operation Intrude N313 had been a success..."
Little did Snake know that this was just the beginning into the creation of his legacy. Stay tuned for the next post on the biographies of Solid Snake, Gray Fox, Big Boss and others up until after the events of Metal Gear and before Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.
