Snake, you've found the Polar Gun!
~105,472
The Polar Gun is an experimental weapon developed by the U.S. government.
~268,544
It was originally intended for use by the Polar Berets, a top secret special ops group that carried out missions in the Antarctic.
~590,208
It fires a small syringe filled with a powerful polarizing serum that gives its target incredible, polar bear powers.

[COLD SNAKE
Now THAT's what I'm talking about!
~986,406
[OTACON
Initial tests showed remarkable results...
~1,123,328
In fact, the U.S. government was so pleased with its findings that it deployed the Polar Gun for use in its ill-fated "Operation Intrude N90".
~1,504,896
[COLD SNAKE
Operation Intrude N90? Never heard of it.
~1,651,968
OTACON;
Of course you haven't.
~1,708,032
Operation Intrude N90 was the government's first attempt to infiltrate Santa's workshop in the North Pole.
~1,943,040
They were after his naughty and nice list, as it contained invaluable information about everyone in the world -- information that could help profile suspected terrorists.
~2,352,384
The Polar Berets were to parachute onto the North Pole and immediately inject themselves with the Polar Gun in order to survive out in the harsh climate.
~2,711,852
There was just one problem.
~2,822,700
[COLD SNAKE
What was that?
~2,861,568
[OTACON
It was winter.
~2,903,040
[COLD SNAKE
Well, of course it was winter, when else would they be able to find Santa Claus?
~3,084,544
[OTACON
Snake, do you have any idea what polar bears do during the winter?
~3,260,032
[COLD SNAKE
Well... They hibernate, don't they?
~3,313,408
[OTACON
Exactly. Each and every one of the Polar Berets followed their orders and injected themselves with the serum.
~3,579,904
Within seconds, each and every one of them fell into a deep sleep.
~3,734,656
The mission was a resounding failure.
~3,853,058
[COLD SNAKE
so what you're saying is that I could use this polarizing serum as a tranquilizer...
~4,024,834
[OTACON
Yep. Aim the Polar Gun by holding down the CTRL button.
~4,196,866
When you let go of CTRL, you'll fire a syringe in the direction you're facing.
~4,389,634
The Polar Gun can only be used six times, but you can reload it by touching floating ammo boxes.
~4,666,242
Just don't ask me where those ammo boxes suddenly came from, or how they're floating.
~4,869,548
There's probably a great deal of science behind it.
~4,975,916
[COLD SNAKE
I'm guessing something to do with nanomachines.
~5,086,636
[OTACON
Yeah, that sounds about right.
