It all began with a man by the codename, "Zero." -the founder of the Patriots. It was the very same age that the world started harvesting in on the information society. It all started during an era before the Belkan War, almost eighty years ago. In the year, 5241. It was in that chaotic era that the Patriots were born. And that a single woman played her part. She was one of the founding members.
Zero created the Patriots to manage and control the American state. That control enrused long after the Dark Ages came to a bitter end. The organization became an empty shell, continuing to function through AIs. Those AIs are responsible for the creation of the war economy... and gave rise to the Sons of the Patriots system. And despite this woman's knowledge, she was one to blame for the creation of this organization.
Her name, was Eva.
Back in 5241, she was ordered to take part in a CIA operation called Operation Snake Eater... which concerned a new weapon the Belkans were developing at the time. Her mission was to support a certain agent. That agent later became BIG BOSS... but she knew him only as Spectre.
It was his code name at the time. The commander of this mission was a man called Zero, the head of Special Forces unit, FOX. Back then, Eva was working as a double agent for the Chinese. Her objective was to secure the location of Philosopher's Legacy... a massive cache of hidden wealth, and report it to the new Beijing. She was to acquire a microfilm showing the location of secret funds... funds amassed by the Allied Powers long before the earth we once knew came to a bitter end. But she failed in her mission, and was expelled from the new China. She took the apple from the snake, and was cast out of Eden. After years on the run, she ended up in Hanoi - and that was where she met him again. It was around then that Zero used the massive funds contained in the Philosopher's Legacy to start a new organization -the Patriots, which would carry out the final wishes of a certain legendary hero. The initial membership consisted of Big Boss, Sigint, Para-Medic... and their commander -Zero. There was one more who we mustn't forget. He stayed back in the newly formed Belka to support the group as an informant. Ocelot, who is now Liquid.
Eva was rescued from Hanoi, and went to Osea to join their new organization. Zero's goal was to achieve a unity of thought and awareness. He believed that was what The Boss wanted, and the rest of the Patriots followed his lead.
The Boss was a legendary Hero from the Dark Ages, known as the Mother of Special Forces. She had an almost overwhelming charisma about her. The CIA feared this, so they had her eliminated. If she had survived, the world that we know it might have been a very different place. They were all influenced by The Boss's will. It was what drove them to create this organization - to be closer to that spirit. Zero decided that in order to lead the people, that they needed a special kind of icon. So they turned to Big Boss, the last son of the Boss. He shared more of her life than anyone else. It was Big Boss, the true heir to her legacy, who was best suited to play this role.
Zero elevated Big Boss - the hero who saved the world -to the status of an idol. The truth behind Big Boss became riddled with exaggeration, misrepresentation, and outright lies. Zero disseminated these stories among the masses and gathered the rich and powerful to his banner. Every era need its symbols to control the people... whether it be the stars and stripes... or the hammer and sickle.
As the times and currents of politics changes, so too did Zero. Eventually, he became a prisoner or his own lust for power, sparking friction between him and Big Boss, who resented playing the puppet. With Big Boss drifting away, Zero realized he would need insurance. Something that would perpetuate the existence of Big Boss, their organization's icon. And so, Zero secretly embarked on a new project: Les Enfants Terribles (The Terrible Children). Its goal was to create a clone of Big Boss, the ultimate soldier. The project was led by Dr. Clark, known at the time as Para-Medic. After dozens of failures, they finally -miraculously... succeeded in producing a fertilized egg. The egg used in the successful in vitro fertilization came from Dr. Clark's assistant... a healthy Japanese woman.
It was the first human clone. And the woman, Eva was more than happy to carry this clone in her womb. She loved him. Nine months later, she gave birth to two Big Bosses, one was Jonathon Proskie -who would later become the founder of unit FOX HOUND, and another, Nathan Richardson -who would later find AT Corp, the creator of the COBRA Unit.
It didn't matter to her that they were clones, or that they had manipulated their DNA. The were born the same way as any other normal child... from their mother's wombs. But Les Enfants Terribles proved to be the final straw for Zero and Big Boss. Determined to oppose Zero and his plans, Big Boss broke away from the Patriots. He left the States, created his own mercenary company, and drifted around the world.
Human life isn't meant to be manipulated like that. And Eva knew that, but she wanted them. After Big Boss left, Zero really lost control. What Zero wanted was an orderly world, one governed by rules. His fortune grew through countless wars, and his words influenced decision making all the way up to the oval office. As the world saw the rise of all new digital technology, the Patriot's power grew immense. Their roots spread and took hold throughout the globe. In time, they began to dictate the fate of entire nations from the shadows. And before we knew it, the Patriots - the proud police of the world, started bringing the planet under their control.
Their intentions were fair. But their execution was flawed. Zero developed weapons, amassed armies... used information for extortion -all in order to gain more wealth. He was obsessed with controlling awareness on the inside from the outside. But Eva could not imagine that was what the Boss would have wanted. They both had misinterpreted her will. And their absolute reverence for her drove them apart. So began the war between Zero and Big Boss. Opposing interpretations, each striving to realize the Boss's will. Everything you see today stems from their cold war. Differences in race... in religion... in ideology. This war they've caused is no different from any other human error in history. It all started with a tiny fork in the path... and grew into a great rift.
There was nothing left of the Boss's noble will in their struggle. All that remained was hatred - a passion to destroy one another. Big Boss returned to the country of Osea, which is now the new United States with a plan in mind, and once again, assumed command of unit FOX, in Outer Heaven, and then Zanzibarland... Big Boss plotted coups d'etat against Zero. But then, his son, -his own clone, one who would later become the founder of AT Corp; foiled his efforts both times. Big Boss and Gray Fox - Frank Jaeger - were left near death. Zero recovered their bodies. Frank Jaeger's entire body was reconstructed through surgery, and was reborn as the first of many Cyborg Ninjas. Big Boss, now a vegetable, became a prisoner of Zero even in death. For Zero, more than anyone else, Nathan's father was an irreplaceable icon. No, the truth is, for Zero... he was an irreplaceable friend. After Big Boss's betrayal, Zero could no longer believe in something so uncertain as life. He lost his belief in everything - nations, organization, individuals. Zero was no longer willing to place his organization in the hands of the next generation. Instead, he looked to Nathan Richardson, the clone of the legendary hero, and on his deathbed, he requested that he set up a network of AIs. -A Decision-making system formed from all the information he had accumulated. Richardson, then founded AT Corp, using his "Father's" inheritance to fund Operation: Sons of the Patriots, and created a network of AIs... GW, TJ, AL, and TR - as sort of a digital Mount Rushmore. And one core artificial intelligence to unite them, -John Doe. These AI's were stored in system-monitored battleships built by the new AT Corp, who had based the design on ruins found in the polar north during the first colonization period, naming each ship, Arsenal, and by their variables, A-1 -through- A-5, and had them scattered throughout the globe to avoid detection.
These four AI's have controlled all information on every aspect of the global society... Economics, politics, law, morals, and culture. And it wouldn't be long until the war economy was created. Yet, in the shadow of the System and its soon complete control over the world, Big Boss isn't allowed to live or die. He's trapped for eternity in a brain dead prison. To bind himself to his friend - to ensure his rule over the world. Zero transformed Big Boss into an icon, neither living nore dead.
And soon, the fame of AT Corps system began to reach around... and many foreign countries, world leaders, and rural dicators began to invest into the system, began to use it as more of an insurance policy to guarentee their protection from hackers and viruses in order to prevent from collapsing within the information society. This was how the AI grew. And soon, with ties around the globe, the S/O/P system engulfed nearly the entire world, and many were too stupid to realise it.
Being a learning AI had its pros and it's cons, and when the world entered a phase called the Belkan War, the system saw exponential growth, having more reliability than ever before. The system was implemented into weapons of mass destruction, IRVING's unmanned weapon systems, ID Control, emotion control, and ability control. Soldier's on the battle field now implementing into the SYSTEM to control their NANO machines, are tied to a system AI that can regulate and enhance their abilities. This caused the shift in the AI's normal pattern, and sparked what is commonly known as a 'growth spurt.'
The proxies were only one small part of the vast cycle that Nathan Richardson had created. The corporations, for-profits... and research institutions that comprise the military-industrial complext were part of it, too. They operated on budgets automatically alloted to them by the proxies... accounts maintained by the Patriots. The network covered everything from weapons R&D and investment, to productions and marketing. It encompassed the poeple, the companies -even the laws that protect them. Politics and economies became nothing more than iterations of the same oppressively uniform system. And no one realized that it was all a setup. A mere set of norms. The Patriots were those norms, a neural network reduced to its simplest form. That's what they really represented... uniformity without individual will, without change. But then one day, those norms suddenly deviated from that patten, and underwent a mutation. It was like the birth of a new life form... the SYSTEM found a new way to propagate itself... War.
The norms the Patriots had crafted for their unified state quickly became dependent on a single business.... the war economy. Meanwhile, the political cause of creating a "cleaner, safer battlefield" provided a convenient catalyst. By then, the System was no longer being steered by Zero's will, or anyone elses. It was that the norms -manifested as AIs, the inheritors of Zero's will, began to reproduce and take on a life of their own. Zero's original intent was to carry on the Boss's will and establish a unifed world state... an inside world. But his successors failed to carry on his will. Eventually, JD became the very age itself, propagating its will as it pleased. And this age chose to act through economics instead of nation-states. Powered by the industrial and digital revolutions that came before it... this age gave birth to a twisted economic revolution - a battlefield revolution. It created a new world without substance. In this new world, there were no ideologies, no principles, no ideals... not even the things that The Boss treasured most... Loyalty. There was only the war economy. It was a colossal error in judgement -one, that even Zero couldn't possibly have forseen.
