[Cobra’s on the Rocket frequency today, looking about the same as ever.]

Eight days. For eight days I was incarcerated and unable use thisss device without having some idiot guard watching over my shoulder. And a lot can happen in eight days. The entire balance of the world can change. Obviousssly, this is not the case, but still, I would like to know what if anything, was accomplished during those eight days.

[That would be Cobra’s way of asking why only one person bothered to break him out of jail and what everyone else was doing.]


[Private Text to Frank Archer]
I have something of yours. Contact me as soon as you get this so we can discuss it.



[Private Text to Jeane]
I would like those eggs now.

[What's that? You're in a bad mood? Well, surely a young girl's face popping up on screen won't make that any worse.]

What's incarcerated?

[rocket video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[Clearly he missed the fact that there were new arrivals since he's never seen...whoever this is before.]

It means I was imprisssssoned.

[rocket video]

[rarestcandy]

Oh yeah? [That makes sense--they were the bad guy team. King Candy was always threatening to lock her up.] What didya do?

[rocket video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Assaulting a city with the power of nature itself!

[The actual charge was probably property destruction using Pokemon, but Cobra likes his version better.]

[rocket video]

[rarestcandy]

So you chopped down a tree and it landed on a building?

[Private]

[begetsvengeance]

Can do. Where do you want me to send them?

[Private]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Send them to the Saffron Pokemon Center. I'll pick them up there. Additionally, do not send them under my name.

[The last thing he wants is to get arrested again while picking up eggs.]

[Private]

[begetsvengeance]

Okay. Leave me a message so I know you got them.

[ooc: As a head's up these are the eggs he'll be getting.]

[Private]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Very well. I shall.

{OOC: I honestly have no idea whether he'd be furious or entertained by those.}

[explosivecombat]

[Only eight days? This place really is lenient. But then, this is coming from the guy who spent seven years in solitary confinement.

At any rate, he'll offer you video today, Commander; feel honored or something.]

Well, Commander - I don't know about changing the balance of the world just yet, but I fully intend to upset it at least a little, now that I've returned.

Good of you to rejoin us.

[video - private]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[Well, it was supposed to be two weeks, which would have been torture for Cobra to sit through, but…

Well, never mind about that. There’s a way more important subject Cobra wants to discuss now.]

Kimblee? You're back? When did thissss happen?

[video - private]

[explosivecombat]

Shortly after your arrest, from what I understand; a bit of a shame that the timing couldn't have been better.

Likewise a shame that the police finally decided to act around here; they seem to be becoming more vigilant.

[video - private]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Vigilant? Hardly! They just happened to be in the right place at the wrong time! That's all.

[Much to Cobra's dismay. The one time the police happen to have a lucky break and it was at his expense.]

But enough about that, ssssince you've returned, I have no doubt that you'll be requiring some of your old Pokemon back, correct?

[Text/Rocket filter]

[strongestoftheturks]

Rude reporting in.

I'm at Azalea Town. Sent some Pokemon back to HQ. Currently scoping out the Pokemon centre and the Police station.

[Video/Rocket filter]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Azalea Town? Why? Were you ordered to go there?

[Because Cobra can't see why anyone would go there willingly.]

[strongestoftheturks]

Thought I should start easy and work my way up.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[But Azalea Town is so miserable and it has that terrible well and why would anyone go there?]

I would've chosen a different place to work, but if you're having some success there, then there's no reason to sssswitch locations is there?

[blacklynx]

It seems that some of the 'old members' are returning with their memories of this place. I haven't noticed anything else happening lately.

[Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Which ones?

[He's partially aware of the situation, but he wants to know if there's anyone else.]

[blacklynx]

At least Mr. Kimblee, but from what I've heard he's not the only one.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I ssssee. If you have any other names, please let me know as sssoon as possible.

[licentious]

Nothing happened. It's just that people either lacked the resources or the proximity to come and bail you out of prison. [ yep. she'll just be blunt here while she's ON A BOAT. ]

action

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I'm certain that the lack of resources certainly rules out quite a few of our comrades.

[He's not so sure on the proximity thing. He doesn't care if someone was across the region, that's not an acceptable excuse.]

But I'm not certain it applies to everyone.

[He knows how this works. Someone out there had to have just gone "Nah, let's leave Cobra in jail," and he wants to know who it was.]

action

[licentious]

Almost all of them, actually. Very few people are skilled enough to break out one of Johto's finest out of a prison. [ Except not really. ]

Other people found that it would take longer than two weeks to get to your location in the first place. Flying provides the obvious risks, after all.

action

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

If you ssssay so.

[He has no reason to not believe that, but Cobra commander enjoys being difficult.]
