Quiet is voiced by Stefanie Joosten and is also practically a 3D recreation of her. She's a Dutch model who's probably never set foot in America before Konami got ahold of her and you guys think she looks Navajo?

I did think Quiet was kinda creepy at first, what with that humming and with her pointing that laser beam in your direction.

You'd think at least a couple dudes would be like "drat son, that weirdo lady has some bomb rear end titties though" but then again, she did totally shove a knife down a guy's mouth so I'd be pretty wary of her after that.

I doubt she's navajo because I'm 90% sure she's Paz with boobs and vamp nanites. That's why Kaz was all KILL HER SHE'S WITH CIPHER! before they even interrogated her. The game even gives you a Paz humming tape for no reason besides presumably to 'prove' they're different people. And she's Ishmael.

She's also the nurse who sees you wake up (that distinctive SJ eyebrow acting), placed there by Zero. He talks to her on the "Zero visits Snake" tape: the game disguises her voice but when he tells someone to leave you can tell it's male footsteps that leave (ie the doctor, not the nurse). Meanwhile when Ishmael is in the parking lot scoring an ambulance, it sounds like he's wearing heels. Ishmael takes a lot of abuse because you both already have nanomachines: you actually see this in third person when the helicopter kills a nurse and the patient she's assisting at the window. The two of you were in the same position at the same window earlier and you get a low health warning for no reason. (People have pointed out how you seem to teleport around the hospital's floor plan; you're seeing a real fractured version of reality. Also on the Zero/Snake tape you can hear sci-fi doors that don't really match the hospital but fit motherbase, and the weird red fire alarm things on the walls are the same as those in the "QUARANTIN" facility. So basically the whole game is an onion of bullshit)

After you have an accurate flashback of the ground zeroes incident (it's the only time in the game where you see a green starboard light, also the longest depiction you ever see, I'm talking about the one where the explosion is from an RPG), the "game" is forced to produce a bunch of fake Paz Diary tapes that eventually tell you you're crazy for thinking she's alive. One big difference between these tapes and the PW/GZ version is they don't mention the deep dive training she received for her mission and used to fake her death in nearly this exact way just a couple months earlier. There was no second bomb, that's dumb; they had to put organs on ice in order to fit the first one.

"They would do this because we Dineh could not afford even onions... By wearing them on their belts they were asserting their dominance. Dietary dominance is an integral part of the natural world. Organism that are able to eat more have a larger share of the super-organism... than organism that eat less... In this way the White Man... was taking away the Dineh claim on our niche in society the same way that a bacteria consumes all resources required for competing bacteria to survive. And that is why a burger must always have onion..."

The parasites are smart enough to provide Quiet instant eye black in times of conflict. She was captured by the Russians because you needed to have the finale set in the location that had Maneater on the radio.

Quiet probably got ambushed and overwhelmed by those Russians. She may be superhuman, but she's only one human. She doesn't really fare so well against several armed soldiers that know her location and are prepared to deal with her.

Did a fun FOB defense today. I ran around with nocto for a few minutes wondering where he was, iDroid said he was on a bridge so I investigated under and went face-first into a bunch of C4. He was slow so I immediately retreated to a nearby AA gun, scared him out, and it turned into a battle where he was using a underbarrel grenade launcher while I was chucking grenades at him from cover. As soon as the guards start coming in I throw a sleep grenade at him and shotgun guards took him out during naptime.

But I'm not rhyming things, everything I mentioned is real evidence in the game and you can check it out yourself. You find a photo of you (Kaz) and Paz and it triggers the memory of her survival: https://youtu.be/2esGcZk2yRw?t=129 then a bunch of effort is dedicated to convincing you it's not true. But the green light is significant. If every starboard light were blue it'd be a stylistic choice but the presence of one green one at a pivotal moment says it's not.

I take back what I said about there not being a second bomb. This memory shows medic's pro fisting skills I guess. Anyway Ground Zeroes is VR and everything in TPP is lying to you.

I thought Ocelot was behind it at first but then I realised that bullshit defamatory shower scene is anime as hell.

Tell me about your evidence so I can add it to mine because we agree. Venom is Raiden but he's also Kaz which means Kaz is Raiden (and V is the missing link).

Edit: do you just mean the name entry gimmick is the same as MGS2? Cause yeah totes.

Real answer: While Kojima thought it looked cool, he probably also thought of it like athletes blacking out their eyes. Supposedly it increases contrast and reduces glare around the eyes, making it easier to track things. Also it looks like war paint. This has been your real answer in the Metal Gear thread.
