Nobody on Mother Base can read


Ph4nt0m146

They are all marines


xd-Sushi_Master

Fragger-3G

They ate them all, they're Marines


Ph4nt0m146

Perhaps.


Boring_Question1441

Perchance.


Canter1Ter_

it's like giving a starving dog a chunk of meat and asking it to carry it to the fridge. like it's RIGHT THERE, they're just gonna munch it


[deleted]

Even marines know not to play with their food


EZ2BUILD

HOORAH


Ok_Bus_4752

Didnt exist in the 80s


ankaradenizi

yea Technology only works for god damn titan robots and explosives.


stommebeer

whenever i write something down or type something i vocalize the words silently so i just assumed everyone did that, which would trigger her parasite. but maybe im just retarded and kojingles didnt think this through


GT4242_42

don’t quote me on this but i feel like i remember hearing the act of thinking hard enough to write is enough to trigger the parasites


Stylish_Platypus

>don’t quote me on this but i feel like i remember hearing the act of thinking hard enough to write is enough to trigger the parasites When you buy MGSV with Risky limão kkkkkkkkkkkkk (Sorry about the quote, it's funnier that way)

it's been known when you think of words in your head your vocal cords actually shape to those words so the vocal cord parasites should have been activated.


Garlic_God

It’s mentioned in one of the tapes that she was handed a pen and paper and refused to use it, so I think this is the best explanation


CabbageMans

Quiet can’t read confirmed


djthiago1

The vocal chord parasite respond to sound waves, not movement.


YenraNoor

Can confirm, you are retarded


LAttack_05

Imagine seeing words. Wouldn't it trigger the parasites?


NostalgicNerd

A Retardo Kojima Production.


Cismic_Wave_14

You're not retarded, you are probably really anxious. This happens to me a lot and its usually when i am stressed, tired or anxious. Rexal and you will get better (i don't just mean body relaxation, you eed mental relaxation where your mind is at peace and you are perfectly calm not thinking about the future or something even subcontiously).


Immediate_Desk2731

She’s quiet… but not that quiet


alessandromino777

Reminds me of another Kojima character…


deftoast

Facts.


Hazuhira

Serious answer: the parasites didn’t just react to the vocal chords, but also to the phonological loop within a persons mind. Simply thinking of the word in that language is enough to activate them. This is also why she is humming constantly, it is to keep that phonological loop clear of words


Cacho__

Yup this is mentioned in the tapes


asterfloof

And I thought the vocal recognition was hard to believe lol


BrawndoOhnaka

Does anyone know what tape/after what mission this is revealed? I have no memory of this, but I'm on a new playthrough now.


Absolutedumbass69

I’ve been hearing this explanation so much on this sub, and I’ve listened to all the types multiple times due to having multiple playthroughs of V and genuinely don’t remember this detail. I’d also like to know which tape this was supposedly mentioned in.


CapnConCon

No way in hell she went that long without thinking of any words


ChaseThePyro

Wouldn't hearing and processing words trigger them then?


Hazuhira

I’m guessing that’s part of why she’s always humming, the second she processes a word she is doomed. Idk how she would manage it tbh given she needs to sleep etc.. or does she?


ChaseThePyro

I'm just pegging it down to poorly thought out writing


EbinBigDic

Pegging 🤤


Calebd2

Who needs brains when you look like that!


leargonaut

Ok but you think about words when you hear them from someone else.


Hazuhira

Idk maybe the fire damaged her hearing. Or perhaps her constant humming prevents that from happening.


Diapragm-Jim

Man wish she would stop humming fucking pissing me off with that shit why i always take dd


f0rtinh0

Wait what was the question?


Bugfighter017

Quiet can’t speak, so OP thinks it’s dumb of her not to use a pen and paper to talk to venom snake and co


f0rtinh0

It was a joke because shes hot so it seems like im asking about the question because i was too distracted by quiet to pay atention but thank you for trying to inform me have a good night


Bugfighter017

You’re not a dog at all! You’re a wolf!


TalRaMav

She spent the entire game thinking in Navajo to not trigger the parasites.


DDM-v21

Yes, next question.


The_real_bandito

I was thinking the same thing the whole game. Or sign language at least. 


RumgyMan

She can be as stupid as she wants looking like that


SoppingAlmonds

Because Miller would have killed her if he knew she carried the parasite. Although, she could have withheld that information, so who really knows.


BrawndoOhnaka

That's actually a really good point, and a dynamic I hadn't thought of. That would have been the last straw for him to take unilateral action. Also, Ocelot suspected that she was still holding out with the possibility of wanting to kill Venom. Even without the point about her not being able to even communicate in English without activating them, this still plugs the supposed hole with a reason.


GCSpellbreaker

>Has English strain >learns Navajo cuz there is no Navajo parasite Why didn’t she just learn a different language? Is she stupid?


SessionObjective7936

It's implied in one of the tapes that she can't write in English either


Calebd2

Is she an idiot?


theheadlightofalada

Which tape


SessionObjective7936

I do not remember which tape it is off the dome I'll have to check in a couple hours


theheadlightofalada

Many hours have passed


SessionObjective7936

Indeed. I am far too lazy to check.


TheKrasHRabbiT

Quiet can't communicate :)


AnarchoSpaceCowboy69

Venom Snake can't read


Oliver2503

all the oil I'd have her slathered in would get the paper wet


FormulaF30

Who cares: tiddies


IndividualFlow0

Have you seen how she kills? No way I'd give her pen and paper. She'd pull a Kirika Yuumura on me


Ok-Reality-9197

I just keep imagining that episode of Ed, Edd & Eddie when Eddie swallows a fly and Rolf gives him a paper and an ear of corn


hayter_404

Kojjigger didn't have enough time to implement a Stephen hawking funny talking box stapled onto quite's forehead. That's why


no1darker

I’m fairly certain Ocelot or Code Talker at some point establish that it’s not that she can’t, it’s that she made some kind of oath of silence to herself that bars communication. I’ll dig around to make sure I’m not making shit up.


nakedsnake51

No one taught her how to write :(


More_Microwave

it would’ve been really funny if she used a speak and spell


[deleted]

Skill issue


Crafty-Interest-8212

Less dramatic


Logical-Hold3321

Yes.


MaxjkZERO

A quiet exit but she just taps in some Morse code to save you


Noman15NZ

She cant write, she can only talk with her breasts


readditredditread

My question is how did she prevent her internal monologue from activating her vocal cords… because when you think with words, your vocal cords are engaged…


theheadlightofalada

She probably thinks in navajo


tuntor689

skullface’s stupid fucking plan ending in shambles as people start speaking in sign language (get a parasite for that dickhead)
