Marina "Ten Assassination Attempts Per Week" O'Leary
She goes boating, there's a MESS destroyer trying to kill her. She goes hiking, there are special forces units from ten different countries hunting her. She tries to cook dinner, she checks the pots for bombs.
Post-nuclear slapstick!

Sure you want to do that? Way I imagine it, there's an unofficial pact between the nations of the world to leave her alone -- it's the crazies who try to attack her, as well as a surprisingly large number of ex-special forces personnel who were "discharged".
As for why there's a pact -- do you really want to put her on trial? She was not the one who launched the nuclear war -- only the one who carried out the last orders from the Shepnukistani civilian command structure to the best of her ability -- remember that the FUN's leadership would then face credibility problems in any such trial, due to the use of cobalt bombs.
Anyway, I'll be writing in part 2 of the interview, the definitive history of the war.

Pfft. My Crusaders are armed with shotguns and rifles and RPGs. If need be, they'd go after with my prototype 120rpm Metalstorm weapons just to be doubly sure she's dead.

FUN's leadership? There isn't much left of FUN's leadership, unless you count that loon for a monkey in Shroomania as a leader.

I don't actually want to go after her (Meh, she's gonna be dead soon enough, anyway), but I'm sure that plenty of people would.
And, well...nobody's gonna stop them. I mean, there's plenty of AK rifles in the world, right? And you can easily buy night-vision goggles and RPGs and light mortars and rent an airplane and parachute down into Saddamistan at night to shell her home with thermobaric rounds. Who can control such people?
And that death letter you found with one of them is a fake you planted. That's our story and we're sticking to it.

Well, there are only so many places for him to have fled to... especially with the Cobalt dust flying around.

Shroom 777th: No, John! I am your father!

You know, cloning experiments would explain why he's named Shroom 777th

Come to think of it, Snake II should have grown by now. Ought to be 40 or so. A few of them. Mixed with Varangian Guard training regiment, he'd be one tough soldier.

You know what, I think we could've ended with PeZook's post. It WAS closure. They're coming to get Shroom back to his senses. The AIs know they're gonna get deactivated, but can't do anything. Shroom is told that he has guests.
Fin.
That's really all there is. A slightly ambiguous but definite ending. No need to ruin it by explaining how exactly this-and-this happens, and how Shroomy makes a long-winded speech to the world or something. Eh.
I say we finish that plot point and have one of the Shrooms strangle Marina. Maybe Shroom the 777th himself.

I've been thinking about part 2; which will have some flashbacks to the war; etc, and I think I've got a brilliant image for the Wilkonian IADS control center:
Basically, some senator or whoever was visiting the place when the war broke out, and I use him as a sort of "stand in" to explain how the thing works.
"How can you see those Nukistani F-22s?"
"Sir, F-22s may have the radar cross section of a sparrow; but Sparrows don't move at Mach 2 and that high."
"Oh."
"They're just so damn hard to keep track of though; they flicker on and off our screens like ghosts..."

During the New Years' Nuclear Scare, you shelled my coastline with superguns, and also launched a nuclear attack against Shepnukistan.
It wasn't nuclear, I mentioned that several times. I shelled hinterland primarily as a PSYOP strategy against your populace. I never launched nukes at you or the Saddamis during that.
It's nothing personal, really. You just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, with the wrong crowd.
I know, in a way it doesn't bother me because obviously Canissia's location does make it a threat in a roundabout way; allies can launch from our territory and I can also stage a conventional invasion force with ease, so I'm not overly wrapped around the axle about it.
In the next game, I suggest you ask that your nation be placed very far away from Shepistan, and that you eschew great power alliances.
Well, I'll hope to be far away, but I'll do my own foreign policy, heh!
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around! If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!! Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

"Special" as in "made for a special purpose". In this case, IIRC, they were lacking a warhead.
