Snake infiltrates via the dried Turia Riverbed (now a park). The first mission is stealth and horror: FOXHOUND’s new espionage tech (the Mk. II robot, a prototype stealth cloak that flickers in the Mediterranean heat) feels alien in this sun-scorched, politically layered environment.

In a 2005 where the Shadow Moses incident never happened, disgraced FOXHOUND operative Solid Snake is dragged out of retirement for one final mission: infiltrate a clandestine nuclear weapons facility hidden beneath the ruins of Valencia, Spain—only to discover the "Metal Gear" isn't a machine, but a weaponized biological echo of the Spanish Civil War.

A black screen. The sound of a cassette tape being inserted. A young, unnamed man with an eyepatch (young Big Boss?) listens to a recording of this entire mission. He smiles. He dials a rotary phone. "Zero… the Spain test was a success. The memory weapon works. But we need a smaller scale. An island. Alaska, maybe. Somewhere cold. Call it… Shadow Moses."

Solid Snake, living under an assumed name, receives a cryptic package. Inside: a single 9mm cartridge, a dried black rose, and a mini-disc. The voice on the recording is Colonel Roy Campbell, but distorted, panicked: "Snake… it’s not Shadow Moses. It’s… older. They’re using the river. The river of bones. Meet me in Ruzafa." The line cuts to a woman whispering in Spanish: "No hay soldados viejos. Solo fantasmas." (There are no old soldiers. Only ghosts.)
