[Snake, former dictator of the Nexus, has been waiting for another chance to seize control of this place... retake the position that is rightfully his. Unfortunately, several of his sneaky plans have fallen flat without anyone even noticing. This has led him into a serious contemplation about his next course of action.]

[Unfortunately, he's come to realize that his list of allies is far short of what it used to be. Maybe with more manpower he would have more opportunities to test out different tactics.]

[That in mind, Snake has set himself up in an empty office, a sign on the door that reads, "Looking for work? Come in for an interview. All ages welcome. No previous work experience necessary."]

[He's counting on no one being able to tell which Snake he is by appearance alone. He'll just hope no Liquids stop by.]

[Well, well, he likes that answer. It isn't what he expected, which is a very good thing.]

Good... you're a real soldier, aren't you, Ripper? I could use someone like you to set an example for the others.

[He's almost relieved to hear that someone else has a use for him. Sorry Solidus, if you want your Jackie boy back you'll have to talk to this asshole here.]

I'm sometimes called Devil, too. And sometimes... Sir would call me Jack. I think that's my real name, but nobody ever uses it except for Sir.

[...Jack, huh? Definitely won't be calling him that.]

Names are what you want them to be. There's no such thing as a real name, not unless you want it to be.

You pick a name, make it your own. That will be what I call you.

[He stares blankly. He's never been offered the chance to call himself what he wants. The concept is foreign to him.]

...I don't mind being called Ripper or Devil anymore. It's what I'm used to.

Forget what you're used to. If you're working for me, you're tackling a whole new set of challenges.

I'll be giving you orders, but I need you to be able to make your own decisions too. If I'm not there, you have to know how to choose the right course of action on your own.

[But if that's impossible, he could always use the kid as a guard for the base. That way he wouldn't need to do anything too complicated.]
