[ There's a lot that Angela's pressing him about, and while Snake normally would have clammed up he doesn't feel nearly as pressed to hold details close to the chest right now. Even then, though, Angela's just struck upon two big issues: his experience with AIs, and his history with Ahab. It seems like he'd be better off handling one at a time, and one of them is certainly easier to tackle than the other.
It seems strange to talk about this when she's literally got her head resting on his shoulder. Snake figures they should be talking about something else, something normal, and yet he wouldn't even know where to start with that. He already told her about his dog, that's pretty much where normal ends for him. ]
I'll answer your AI question first, although it's... confusing.
[ He straightens up a little as he prepares himself to explain, though he doesn't move his arm from where it's keeping Angela anchored against him. The spy in him figures it's easier for them to talk quietly this way. ]
Not too long before I came here, I learned that a huge amount of people's everyday lives were being subtly controlled by a shadowy organization called the Patriots. [ Snake stares out across the party as he speaks. ] Part of how they pull that off is that a giant AI system that gathers huge amounts of data and uses that information to influence the world around us.
[ Don't worry, he knows how insane it sounds. Snake only started to wrap his head around the concept recently, and that was after Otacon had spent literal hours explaining it all to him. ]
