SaintLogic Security



The SaintLogic Security, SLS for short, known as StrateLogic Security in Japan, also known as the Security Forces, is the security from SaintLogic, Inc., a private company that supplies military arms, the compound being similar to an army fort as SaintLogic's research facility used to be an army base. Led by the security chief Vince, the guards are formed by highly-trained killers, including mercenaries and former special forces.

History
In the same day Dalton ordered Snake to infiltrate SaintLogic, the security forces were ordered by Rodzinski to kill Thomas Koppelthorn -- SaintLogic's vice president and head of research -- but he took over the internal weapons and security systems and seized the Research Facility, closing himself in a hangar and threatening to launch a nuclear strike with Metal Gear Chaioth Ha Qadesh if his demands aren't met, also taking control of Patrol Bots and releasing test subjects to be used as a barricade. Due to this, SaintLogic entered in a state of emergency, reinforcing security, with the head of security, Vince, being charged with retaking the complex and handling the incident with absolute secrecy to keep the International Criminal Court away from the company.

During the incident, the security learned of the test subject Harab Serap's elimination at the hands of Snake, as well as the northern shutter being open due to Snake's earlier tampering with the security system, learning of his current path. Vince ordered that contact be restored with the guards cut off at the facility's North Block, and made the recapture of SaintLogic's Metal Gear their top priority, in order to preserve its secrecy from the public. To focus on this objective, he ordered to eliminate the test subjects who've escaped on sight instead of retrieving them, and he also planned on capturing Snake and his ally Venus to end any further interference from them.

Vince eventually ambushed Snake and Venus at Research Block Section 2-3-E, while they were searching for Dr. Takiyama, and fought them.

After he was defeated, he begged for mercy, but Venus was then ordered by her superior General Wiseman to execute him after he gave them the information he needed, although alarms sounded regarding the activation of a test and the mandatory evacuation of the hangar due to a shiftover to System B. Vince realized that Koppelthorn was hijacking Metal Gear and rushed off to stop it, which also had him narrowly evading Venus's gunshot.

The security later encountered Koppelthorn with a battalion of tanks, and tried to force Koppelthorn to surrender. Koppelthorn, however, simply used Metal Gear to incinerate the tanks.

After the security forces destroyed the Patrol Bots surrounding Metal Gear's hangar, Vince contacted Rodzinski regarding the progress of the invasion. He then ordered a rescue team to be deployed for Rodzinski.

Eventually, Vince has a rematch against Snake and Venus, this time broughting his forces, but he is mortally wounded from the fight. The rescue squad that he sent for Rodzinski reported in and revealed that he was leaving in a chopper. He then contacted Rodzinski and learned that he was abandoning the island and leaving the security forces and personnel to take the blame for SaintLogic's illegal activities. Taking Rodzinski's insulting last words about "taking care of themselves" to heart, he ordered the rescue team to shoot down Rodzinski, and also called for a full evacuation of the personnel from the island. He also requested that Venus and Snake let the soldiers leave quietly before succumbing to his wounds.

Weapons and equipment
The guards carry mainly small arms, but they also have access to tanks and other heavy-duty weapons produced by SaintLogic. At the time of the incident, they used all the firepower they could muster up to eliminate Koppelthorn and keep the events hushed up at any cost.

Behind the scenes


SaintLogic Security members appear as the main enemy soldiers in Metal Gear Acid 2. When security members are in Snake's way, Wiseman often tells him to use lethal force if necessary, with Dalton being against such methods. The way Snake deals with the guards affects some dialogues, like Dalton protesting if Snake kills them. The default guards are based on the US Marines from Metal Gear Solid 2.

Gameplay
The player encounters the SaintLogic Security on several occasions in Metal Gear Acid 2.

Below is a list of members by type. Vince, attack team members, and guards from optional missions (some having different stats depending of the mission) are not included.
