[Well, here's Cobra Commander again, looking to be in a slightly better mood than he was when he accidentally outed himself as a Rocket. He's really not happy at all since somehow his faceplate disappeared over that weird missing stretch of time, and there was that weird tornado...
Oh well, he'll make due with his hood for now, and be thankful the tornado didn't wreck his plans.]
No doubt by now news of my...blown cover has become widespread. As well as a missing shipment of...ssssomething. For those of you who may have missed it, I'll explain. I was conveniently videotaped discussing a number of important things relating to a missing shipment of something belonging to Team Rocket. Which of course connects mysssself to that group, a connection I've tried my hardest to deny.
But it's one I sssee absolutely no reason to deny any longer. Yessss, I am, or was, a member of Team Rocket, and yesss, a shipment I was in charge of disappeared. It has ssssince been recovered.
[The feed goes black there, but it hasn't ended, Cobra's just turning off the camera for a moment. The audio's not much of note. Just the sound of footsteps and a door opening. When the feed turns back on, it's Cobra. In a basement. Still not much worth seeing.]
Recovered by me. And I won't be returning it. In fact, it was never lost at all! The entire thing, including the video was sssset up by me! Why you ask? Because quite honestly I am tired of serving in an organization that doesn't value my contributions and decided I would be better off going into business for myself on a more permanent basis. And to protect myself from any future reprisals, I took that shipment as an insurance package!
[And now he'll turn the camera to reveal um...well. It appears to be an open crate with several white missiles inside it. All of which are painted with a red R. Yeah. It took a while to get Ditto and Zorua to get them to look just right, but they really do look just like the real thing!]
I won't go into sssspecifics such as payload or guidance systems since I doubt any of that means much to most of you, but I will say that those are exactly what they look like. Prototype rockets for Team Rocket! That belong to me now!
[And he'll just end the feed there. Okay, there might actually be a few minutes of villainous laughter before it actually ends.]

[If you have that in your world, Crow.]
The package is sent from somewhere, happens to arrive here on its way to somewhere else, and instead of ssssending it along, I grabbed it! Had they been intelligent enough to put me in charge of them in the firssst place, there would have been no need for me to take ssssuch action!
[video]
... That's even less likely. Who the hell sends goddamn missiles in a package?!
[Not even Team Rocket can be dumb enough to do THAT, jfc.]
[video]
And besides, they were in a crate.
[video]
[At this point he's kinda realized there's little point about arguing how little sense that makes.]
... So what are you planning to do with those? The missiles, I mean.
[video]
For now, use them as leverage against Team Rocket. They'll want to neutralize me, of course. But sssso long as I have these, they can't risk doing sssso for fear of reprisal. After all, I know the locations of all their bases, and could easily launch at them. And while death isn't an issue, the costs of reconstruction, and more importantly, the attention that sssaid targets would receive would be something they wouldn't want to chance.
