An Unemployed Nerd Enters....

[h-emmerich.livejournal.com]

[ Hal Emmerich just lost his job at the FBI. People generally don't like you much if you hack into their central database. Especially the government. Now he's got a bad reputation and no one will talk to him about jobs. He's starting to run out of money for rent and he turned the heat off to save on money to keep his internet. The internet is more important then being warm, after all! ]

[ He goes out for a walk to clear his head and suddenly ends up in a place that he wasn't intending to go. This place is a bit odd, but it sure beats his apartment. ]

[Familiarity with other Emmerichs as well as the Nexus holding so many meant this new one was nothing out of the ordinary for this one-armed Liquid.]

Hal. [He nodded at the nerd]

[He glances at this new man standing there, and is confused as to how he knows his name.]

Ohh, umm, hi there. How do you know my name?

[Liquid turned to look at him, slightly surprised, but smirked when he realised how young the new arrival was.]

I see you haven't been introduced to this place yet. Welcome to a Nexus where everything you know doesn't apply, and I am codenamed Liquid Snake. [He bowed theatrically] World's best soldier.

Liquid Snake? Lots of Snakes here it seems. Nice to meet you, sir.

[He looks him over.]

World's best solider, huh?

There are a few of us running about. A few of you as well, though a bit older.

[He may have lost his arm after Shadow Moses, but he still kept in shape here in the Nexus. Liquid straightened under the scruitiny, smirking.]

But of course.

I already met a younger version of me and my dad. Strange place, that's for sure.

[Hal chuckled at the man's ego.]

I'll just have to take your word for it.
