*begin transcript*
"Psych-Out, Lifeline, talk to me." "Well, we still don't really have all that much in the way of hard data-" "I'm aware of that, Psych. Tell me what we *do* know." *throat-clearing sound* "What we've been able to piece back together from the CC camera video isn't all that exact, I'm afraid, but starting from the basics, our subject is a Caucasian male, I would guess early 30s and approximately 6 feet, 3 inches tall and weighing somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 pounds." "And beyond that?" "Beyond that? Hawk, do you remember that enhanced Cobra operative who broke into the Pitt a couple of years ago?" "I remember that he almost convinced JCS to shut us down in the wake of that little fiasco, but an aircraft matching the description of the one that he escaped in was confirmed destroyed over Cobra Island by...'you know who.' You're not telling me that Cobra's mass-producing these guys now?" "Uh, so far as that goes, we have some good news, and some bad news..." "Don't beat around the bush, Lifeline. Give it to me straight." "Well, the good news is that there's only one of this guy out there, so far as we can tell-" "And the bad news?" "Is, er, that we think that our subject was the result of Cobra trying to repeat their previous success with the enhanced pilot/infiltrator, and apply it to their Ninja Viper division." *sound of chair being shoved back* "Goddamn, the last thing I need to worry about is a super-powered Ninja Viper running amuck. As soon as Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow get back from Borovia they're going to be running this clown down and eliminating him." "Hawk, I'd advise against terminating the subject until further notice. I want to keep him under further surveillance." "You'd better have a damned good reason, Psych. According to your dossier, Erik the Red here is responsible for the very thorough destruction of at least 3 CIA safehouses and the deaths of over a dozen assets and field officers. The Agency is *not* going to be happy about this. If Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow don't get him, the Special Activities Division will." "I'm not convinced of that." "Nor I, sir." *long silence* "Okay, now you gentlemen *really* have my attention. Would you care to elaborate, before I suffer a particularly nasty aneurysm?" "Lifeline, roll the tape." *sound of projector running* "Good Lord! Did he just...flip over a HISS?!?" "So far as we've been able to verify with Scoop, yes. None of this footage has been altered in any way, shape or form, so as you can see, we're not just talking about ninja training enhanced by superior reflexes and agility in our subject, but physical strength and durability far beyond the human norm as well." "To the point where you're thinking even our Arashikage friends might not be able to take him down without some serious backup..." "Maybe not even at all. Hawk, this man, or someone matching his description, has been reported dead multiple times in Agency and Cobra communiqués we've intercepted. So either it's a group of similarly-enhanced Ninja Vipers gone rogue-" "Is that a possibility?" "I don't think so. The psychological profile I've been able to compile based on what we know strongly indicates that we're looking at a single person with an intense grudge against both Cobra and the CIA. That might be possible for two or three people working in concert, but the number of times that the subject has been reported to die basically rules out that possibility entirely, unless we suppose that there's some sort of ongoing collusion between Langley and Cobra Island at the highest level, and at the moment, we have no evidence to support that." "So, we're looking at a possible former CIA operative who went over to Cobra, became a guinea-pig for Dr. Mindbender's experiments in human augmentation and then turned on both groups for some sort of revenge?" "More or less, sir." "Okay then. I'm going to have Chuckles in Langley, looking up potential matches for the subject in the Agency's personnel files ASAP." "I'm sure he'll enjoy that. Also, sir, there's one other bit of evidence for our hypothesis that we're looking at an individual rather than a group: The Cobra transmissions Breaker and Dial-Tone have intercepted always refer to the subject in the singular. In fact, his apparent inability to die seems to be well-known to the upper-echelon Tele-Vipers, because they've apparently got some sort of 'dead-pool' running on when Cobra will finally find a way to take him down permanently." "I'm having a certain amount of difficulty imagining Tele-Vipers gossiping like teenage girls on a party-line." "It's not *that* surprising, Hawk. If you think of communications specialists as people driven by a desire to *communicate,* it makes a certain amount of sense." "I can't imagine Cobra Commander encourages that sort of thing." "No doubt, sir, but we're not sure he knows, either. One interesting thing that's come out of this is that the Tele-Vipers have apparently developed their own private subsonic coded language hidden in the white noise of their radio transmissions. That's where we picked up the 'dead-pool' chatter, though that's about all that Breaker and Dial-Tone have managed to translate thus far." "I'll have to congratulate them on it. Could be a major intelligence coup if we can break the code completely. Still, we're still left with the issue of what to do with the Crimson Ghost here." "Again, Hawk, I'd recommend surveiling him at arms-length until we can form a better picture of his goals and motivations." "And the fact that he'll apparently be conducting a one-man war against both Cobra *and* the CIA in the meantime has no bearing on your plans?" "Not really. Hitting Cobra targets sort of goes without saying, and as for our friends in the Agency, well, these safehouses coming to light have generated some pretty frantic activity over at Langley, from what we've been able to pick up. Apparently, some very awkward questions are being raised in Washington right now over exactly what the intended purpose of those locations was, and it's not looking good." *low chuckling sound* "The enemy of my enemy is my friend..." *end transcript* |
