This may sound a bit of a stretch, but with the Moby Dick references already in place and Kojima's frequent allusions to movies and literature, I offer that "V has come to" might be referencing V For Vendetta. Think about it-  the fascist party Norsefire used Larkhill as a secret facility whereby they carried out human testing, particularly on the titular character "V". The controversial teaser trailer released by Joakim Mogren suggests that there is a secret Project Omega, which fronts as a vr training program to treat patients with neurological damage as a result of combat. If this trailer is official, then Camp Omega might not only be a secret American detention center, but it might also be the base for Project Omega.

Now, in The Phantom Pain, Big Boss wakes up in a medical facility with lots of other patients. He's been in a coma for nine years, arguably suffering from post traumatic stress and, quite possibly, neurological damage that put him in his coma in the first place. The hospital where he is could be related to Camp Omega, in actuality run by the Patriots. He and the other patients have been the subject of experiments of some sort, perhaps utilizing the psychic powers of Psycho Mantis who is clearly seen in the Phantom Pain trailer.

The Patriots have already been interested in the Perfect Soldier Project, Soldier Genes, and AI research. The Successor Project produced the charismatic leader, Gene, who could influence and control his soldiers similar to how Psycho Mantis and later Screaming Mantis could influence the Genome Soldiers and the B and B Corps. It is possible that what's going on at Camp Omega is the very begginning of what would ultimately culminate in the S3 Plan and the SOP system- that given the right genes, the right memes, the right themes and the right scenes, anyone can be made to play a role. Throughout the Metal Gear Solid series, the Twin Snakes unwittingly acted as the Patriot's agents, and it is possible that all this research began with Big Boss and culminated in the SOP system.

Also, the agents of Norsefire who captured dissidents on the streets in V For Vendetta were called "Snatchers".
