It was Otacon that found the information by hacking into Baker's files-something that none of FOXHOUND had the necessary skills to do.
It was, really, a desperate ditch effort. Liquid having an in as Miller made it less risky but if Snake's team couldn't figure out the bypass they were screwed as far as their threat of a nuclear launch goes.
And when we got to Baker, we saw Ocelot torturing Baker, because he didn't give up the secret of the PAL key? Are you sure?
Because Baker doesn't say that he was seccesful in keeping the secret to himself, and not only he doesn't say that he was secceful - he even says he gave up his code to the terrorists because of physical torture...So i thought he would also give them the secret of PAL as well you see?
I just read online someone who was explaining that foxhound just didn't ask Baker at first about the PAL card key. and that they only ask about the launch code, then went on to get the second code from Donalnd, but ocelot killed him before they got it...so maybe by that time, snake already got into the facility? and liquid thought he could use snake instead of torturing Bker again for some reason? I'm really not sure though.
thank you!
