Why Doesn’t Quiet Just Speak Another Language?
According to the game’s logic and internal consistency, Quiet doesn’t speak another language because she is infected with the English strain of the vocal cord parasite, and speaking in English would infect all personnel on Mother Base, including Big Boss. This parasite is a critical plot point in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and it renders Quiet mute to prevent the spread of the disease.
Understanding Quiet’s Situation
The Parasite’s Impact
The vocal cord parasite is a powerful tool created by Skull Face to control and manipulate others, and it only reacts when its host speaks in the language it is programmed to respond to. In Quiet’s case, the parasite would be triggered if she were to speak in English, leading to catastrophic consequences for Mother Base.
