Hal Emmerich
03
During the 2005 incident on Shadow Moses Island, Hal Emmerich met Solid Snake.
Emmerich, stranded within the facility now under Liquid Snake's control, had gone into hiding within the research lab for fear of the Cyborg Ninja's rampage.
After Snake defeated the Ninja, Emmerich asked him, "Are you an otaku too?"
Snake then explained to Emmerich that Metal Gear REX was equipped with nuclear weapons.
To Emmerich, who had dreamt of building robots to maintain peace, the news came as a shock, motivating him to assist Snake in destroying Metal Gear. From that point on, Emmerich donned his stealth camouflage and offered Snake support from the shadows.
There on Shadow Moses Island, Emmerich fell in love with FOXHOUND member Sniper Wolf.
Wolf, a woman who found solace for her loneliness in tending to the facility's wolfdogs, chose to fight against Solid Snake despite Emmerich's pleas, and was killed. Having lost both his dreams and his love, Emmerich put Shadow Moses behind him.
