Hi everyone.

I was thinking about restarting my game from scratch in order to make sure I keep Quiet as a buddy.

Now I checked her article and it says:" What happened to Quiet after she disappeared into the desert is not revealed. She remains listed as MIA on the Mother Base development menu, although the Piggyback Guide claims that she had died. Regardless, if this has already happened, the player can just copy the save data to an external drive, delete it and start over to play the full game with Quiet as long as they remember to equip the Butterfly Emblem."

I don't really understand. Could someone please fill me in on this ? I already lost her (I completed A Quiet Exit), but is there a way for me to get her back without restarting from scratch ?

Also, which mission exactly triggers the Side-op in which she disappears ? When I triggered her disappeareance-side-op, I was just doing other side-ops using her and D-Dog as buddies and all of a sudden Ocelot said that she had disappeared. I also did not complete "Cloaked in Silence" (Quiet's boss battle) on extreme so I am really confused about what triggers her disappearance.
