Whats this bit about clues in the codec convo's telling why the bosses blow up?
Yeah, I wanna know this.
Snake: "Major, why did The Pain explode like that...?"
Major Zero: "It's part of this legend."
Snake: "Legend?"
Major Zero: "The legend of the Cobra unit. I'll let Sigint explain. Sigint?"
Sigint: "Yeah, that. That's a microbomb."
Snake: "A microbomb?"
Sigint: "Yep. During World War II, the Cobra unit was used for the nastiest
kinds of wet works, the kind that could never be let out into the open.
Their missions were so top secret that not only were they forbidden to
be taken prisoner, they couldn't even leave their corpse behind.
Because of this, or so the legend goes, they carried a microbomb with
them on their missions in case they needed to commit suicide. I always
thought it was just a rumor... I never expected it'd turn out to be
true."
Snake: "..."
Sigint: "But why would they be carrying bombs this time around? It's not like
they're in hostile territory."
Snake: "...Maybe they're ready to die."
Sigint: "Ready to die?"
Snake: "Yeah... They've got no unit to go back to. Not even a country."
Sigint: "So they've got no place to die except the battlefield, huh?"
Snake: "Yeah, no turning back for them... I wonder if The Boss feels the
same..."
