During the fight with Metal Gear EXCELSUS, Senator Armstrong's theme is "Collective Consciousness", a song imploring the citizens of the United States to give up free will and "let your country control your soul".In The Stinger, Raiden being given a proper second eye again note (the eyepatch had image sensors on it, but was by no means a substitute for an actual eyeball) could symbolize how he has lost his insecurities and is no longer afraid to show his face. The scar Raiden has on his face is identical to Sam's. Shinkawa desgined it as a way to prove Raiden has lost part of his humanity, but still retains some (compare a concept originally used for Solid: Rising where Raiden was just covering his face), while the director wanted it to be the first step of Raiden's transformation into his darker personality. Said Collector's Edition gives multiple reasons for Raiden losing his eye and covering it with an eyepatch.According to the gallery section of the Piggyback Guide's Collector's Edition, the staff explains that the cybernetic functions were based on research made by the same university.


"How'd they know?" Adam demanded, surprised. "There's no way President Ironwood could have learned about this plot so quickly." "Yes, but something doesn't add up," Winter put a hand to her chin. "The Titans can't kill him now, so their plan has been foiled." "That's good, though, right?" Ruby asked. "Wait, Jimmy found out about the assassination attempt?" Qrow grunted in confusion. "Adam! Ironwood's airship is heading back towards Atlas!" Sienna's voice reported. Just then, his intercom crackled to life. "What are you talking about?" the bull Faunus asked. "You're not ending our plan, you're expanding it. But your plan ends here." Sleet tilted his head back and let out a long, spiteful laugh. "Sleet!" Adam snarled up at the Councilman. "Well, if it isn't the Brazen Bull," Sleet commented, shaking his head in disappointment. The episode began immediately after where the previous had left off: Adam standing before the Colossus, staring up at the cockpit of the gigantic war mech, as Councilman Stephen Sleet stood atop the roof of the metal behemoth, looking down at him scornfully. How this would turn out was anyone's guess. But still, Adam was about to battle against a virtual giant. Of course, this was hardly the first behemoth they had seen onscreen, Mundus being a prime example. They had NOT expected this secret weapon to be a Colossus. They had expected Sleet to have a trick up his sleeve for when Adam inevitably confronted him. The audience was quiet as the lights began to dim.
