This is a clear indication that Big Boss is starting to lose it. Big Boss found her second bomb (complete with unnecessary cutscene) and a missile took the chopper out which resulted in the 9-year coma. Actual spoiler tags for this one, as you may have missed it: Particularly with regards to the option thing on the medical platform. He has a condition where frequent hallucinations occur so his ability out in the field should be hampered but the game seems real choosy about when to acknowledge any of this. He's lucky he can even walk or breathe on his own terms. He is in no condition to make smart decisions. He lets Big Boss bring her in but, let's be honest, Big Boss should, by rights, be a vegetable. Having a perceived enemy on the base, after the events of Ground Zeroes sounds like a bad situation waiting to repeat itself. Also, if she talks by the end of this, I'm walking away. The title of the song she hums implies some shameful 'words and deeds' whilst her character is basically The End from Metal Gear Solid 3. As for her bigger picture, I kinda already know some of that. She has mad magic powers that seem to involve invisibility, flight (or at least, gliding) and I wouldn't be surprised if she just teleported out of her cell at some point. I'm convince that she could do this at any time, though. It's true that she's immediately against us when we come into contact with her but she's had an opportunity to deal with us and, for various reasons, hasn't followed through. I'll have to revisit that tape because I've only really heard Miller's word on that. A Quiet lookalike tried to ice us in Cyprus. She's immediately holed up in a cell and being given the Guantanamo treatment in an effort to get her to talk. So, having finished Mission 11 I now have Quiet involved with proceedings. Seems like they're just going against the Soviets because history has them down as the bad guys. Is he backing the underdog to prolong the conflict and gain more jobs that way? Back in Peace Walker he and Big Boss seemed more picky about the stances they took. It does offer up an interesting question about where mercenary loyalties lie but Miller's always been a business-orientated guy since he started MSF. I mean, I understand Diamond Dogs is a fledgling new starter but, once they noticed your growth, they'd be eager to sign you up. And they'd pay more than whatever clients he has in his portfolio. Heck, an eight year campaign of fruitless endeavor against US-backed fighters would seem like the perfect opportunity for Miller to approach the Soviets and offer support. Every mission has been against Soviet aggression whilst, at this point in history they might be the more willing candidates to pay handsomely for Diamond Dog's services. Whilst we're at it, Big Boss and his comrades have definitely picked a side so far. Maybe in the conflict's infancy when Big Boss was trying to break out of his third coma or whatever. Is this whole thing like his gap year before he takes up ranks with the Spetsnaz? What is up with you, man? He drops a lot of knowledge about local matters so I can assume he has had some action during the conflict. Why isn't he leading troops against us? Why isn't he providing us with more intel? If he's doing the double - triple agent nonsense he always does, why isn't he explicitly doing it in this instance? Why the hell are you on Mother Base? Shouldn't you be working? I'm assuming by now his decades of service with the GRU and beyond have landed him a rank of some significance. An association that will continue long into the 21st century.

It's a question I often ask of Ocelot who, at this point in time is a Russian in Afghanistan fighting (directly?) against the country he effectively has a long-standing military association with. Curiosity might get the better of me but, for now, I'm going to collect my thoughts on the 'known knowns' I've got so far. The spoilercast is out and I've done very well to avoid spoilers beyond, 'My, this story is light and/or disappointing'.
