A radioman of the CIA mercenary group Peace Sentinel was stationed at a supply facility in Puerto del Alba, Costa Rica, in November 1974.
Peace Walker Incident[]
- Main article: Peace Walker Incident
During the Peace Walker Incident, the radioman transmitted a report to his superior about having broken an FSLN prisoner regarding the whereabouts of their hideout, and in turn was informed that "spears" had been loaded for transport. When he ended the transmission, the radioman was promptly attacked by enemy intruder Naked Snake, who had overheard the exchange after infiltrating the supply facility. Following a brief struggle, the radioman was restrained by Snake at stun rod-point and interrogated.
The radioman revealed to Snake that their cargo was headed to a facility within the Irazú mountain region. He was then thrown into a pile of boxes, when Snake became distracted by the sounds of a nearby aircraft, before being shocked into unconsciousness by the stun rod. His radiation film badge, alongside the presence of similar badges that had spilled from the damaged boxes, were observed by Snake, who concluded that the CIA were smuggling nuclear warheads into Costa Rica, informing his lieutenant, Kazuhira Miller, as much.[1]
The unconscious radioman was then extracted from the area via the Fulton recovery system, by a member of Snake's Militaires Sans Frontières, in order to prevent an enemy alert being raised upon discovery of his predicament. Transported to the MSF's Mother Base, the radioman was convinced to defect to their organization.
Behind the scenes[]
Radioman knocked out in Extra Ops 10.
The radioman first appears in the Tutorial/Opening mission of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, during the motion comic end cutscene. His character model during normal gameplay is that of an orange-jacketed CIA mercenary, who must be Fulton extracted in the following Extra Ops 010. The building interior where he was subdued by Naked Snake is inaccessible during gameplay, and so his unconscious body is located outside, below the balcony and near a wall.
