The woman who sold the world

Shadowheart

By Shar's shadows... where am I? This isn't the Underdark.

Shadowheart

And what is that strange noise? Some kind of mechanical beast?

Big Boss

Don't move. You're in Mother Base, 200 miles off the Seychelles coast. The year is 1984.

Big Boss

How did you get past our security? Are you with XOF? Or did Cipher send you?

Shadowheart

I assure you, I have no idea what those words mean. I was exploring ruins with my companions when there was a flash of light.

Shadowheart

Though I must say, landing in the company of such an... interesting man almost makes up for the inconvenience.

Big Boss

That's quite the outfit. Not exactly standard infiltration gear. What's this pendant? Some kind of transmitter?

Big Boss

And spare me the flirtation. I've seen too many honey traps to fall for another.

Shadowheart

This 'outfit' is the ceremonial garb of a cleric of Shar. And this pendant is a holy symbol, not whatever strange device you imagine.

Shadowheart

I'm not attempting to trap you, though I'm beginning to think I've fallen into some bizarre realm myself.

Big Boss

Kaz won't believe this one. Look, whatever your story is, you're clearly disoriented. Drink some water.

Big Boss

At least you're not dressed like Quiet. The last woman who showed up here wearing next to nothing tried to kill me twice.

Shadowheart

I assure you my intentions aren't murderous. Though I'm curious about this woman who tried to kill you... twice, you say?

Shadowheart

(Perhaps this gruff warrior and I have more in common than it appears. We both attract dangerous companions.)

Big Boss

Let me guess - you have some powerful artifact, mysterious powers, and no idea how you got here?

Big Boss

Welcome to Mother Base. You'll fit right in with the rest of us phantoms.
