We used Shadow Moses as a paradigm for the exercise. I wonder if you would have preferred a fantasy setting? We chose that backdrop because of its extreme circumstances. It was an optimal test for S3's crisis management capacity. If the model could trigger, control and solve this, it would be ready for any contingency.

And now, we have proof.

This project has no room for failures. Given the right situation, the right story, anyone can become in to Solid Snake. Even rookies can fight like men of experience. An instant creation of genius --

And this training kernel will provide more than enough data to formulate such a program. You, Dead Cell, Olga-- You're all nothing but pawns placed to create the perfect simulation.

There's no such thing in the world as absolute reality. Most of what they call real is actually fiction. What you think you see is only as real as your brain tells you it is.

-What am I supposed to believe in? What am I going to leave behind when I'm through?

We can tell other people about having faith, what we had faith in. What we found important enough to fight for. It's not whether you were right or wrong, but how much faith you were willing to have that decides the future.

Find the meaning behind the words, then decide. You can find your own name, and your own future.

-Decide for myself...?

And whatever you choose will be you.

-I don't know if I can...

I know you don't have much in terms of choice this time, but everything you felt, thought about during this mission is yours; and what you decide to do with them is your choice.

-You mean start over?

Yeah, a clean slate. A new name, new memories. Choose your own legacy. It's for you to decide.

It's up to you.
