With the DARPA Chief dead and surviving an ambush with a female prisoner who escaped the holding cells with Snake, Neosekken decides to follow the DARPA Chief's information on President Baker's whereabouts and moves to the second-floor basement of the building he's currently in, and upon doing so finds himself in the disposal facility's armory. Using the LV. 1 card he got from the DARPA Chief, Neo acquires several new weapons, including some C4 explosives which he uses to open up some cemented entrances in the armory. Going through them, Neo eventually locates the other hostage, Arms Tech President Baker, who is ensnared in a complex trap.
Also waiting for Neo and Snake is FOXHOUND member Revolver Ocelot, who challenges Snake to a duel, with President Baker's life on the line. Neo eventually wins the battle against Ocelot, but after this everyone in the room is ambushed by an unknown individual that appears to be a cyborg ninja, complete with a sword. The ninja forces Ocelot to flee, but before anything else can happen that would likely force Snake into a new battle the cyborg ninja leaves as suddenly as he appears, seemingly howling in agony as he flees.
Snake then decides to check up on Baker, and during Snake's conversation he learns that FOXHOUND has managed to get Baker's password to the nuclear warhead that Metal Gear REX uses, thus confirming that the terrorists had BOTH passwords needed to activate the warhead and launch it at any time they desired. Snake and Neo are also given some exposition on the dangers of nuclear terrorism courtesy of crappy storage methods employed by nuclear storage facilities. Baker, upon being asked about the cyborg ninja when it appeared that he recognized the exoskeleton the entity wore, also tells Snake to ask Dr. Naomi Hunter (the same Naomi that's part of Snake's support team) about the ninja since she apparently knew more information about it than he did.
Right when Snake is about to learn some crucial information about Metal Gear REX, Baker begins suffering a heart attack similar to the DARPA Chief, and before he expires Snake tries to find out about some kind of betrayal that Baker was raving about as he lay dying, but before Snake could find out about it and how SNAKE ties into it, Baker dies. Snake reports Baker's death to Campbell, who seemingly plays dumb to the cause of Baker's death, frustrating Snake when he tries to get more information out of him. Snake also takes the opportunity to ask Naomi about the cyborg ninja, but Naomi claims that FOXHOUND has no one like the ninja in its unit.
With the deaths of Baker and the DARPA Chief, Neo and Snake's first objective in the facility ends in failure. With nothing else to do, Neo and Snake decide to take Campbell's advice and get in touch with Meryl and figure out what to do from there. And get in touch with with Meryl they do...
