[When the feed starts Cobra's...laughing. It probably has something to do with the fact that he's inside and not caught outside in the torrential downpour of Espurrs. And he's not planning on heading outside until this is all over whenever that may be.]

Brilliant! This is brilliant! I was wondering if anyone would ever try ssssomething like this again!

[He goes on laughing on camera for quite a while before realizing that he should probably explain.]

Oh, that's right. I suppose most of you have absolutely no idea what I'm going on about. And thissss time I'll chalk it up to ignorance and not your overwhelming ssstupidity.

[Okay, now that he's insulted everyone watching, he'll explain.]

Ssssome time ago, a rather...unbalanced individual who used to be here, unleashed a rain of exploding Pineco on Goldenrod City causing untold amounts of dessstruction and devessstation! And as far as I know, he was never caught, ssso I've wondered for some time why no one's tried it again!

[Of course he's leaving out the parts where he didn't like said attack stealing his thunder and had a pinecone explode in his face...but Cobra feels things like that are better off being removed from this Johto history lesson.]

Though it is sssslightly disappointing that the persons responsible didn't bother to teach them Explosion before launching them.

[Cobra, Cobra no, what are you doing you're going to give Kimblee ideas, please stop.]

Someone launched Pineco in Goldenrod? I suppose it would be fairly easy to amass an army of them and they all learn Explosion naturally, so it wouldn't take too much work... It sounds like it could be an interesting attack.

[Of course now that Cobra's broadcast it to the entire network it isn't something to consider right now.]

Do you remember when this happened, Commander? I certainly don't recall anything like that.

[But Cobra's been here for even longer than he has, so of course Cobra's gotten to experience all sorts of awesome things that didn't involve being stuck in Mahogany Town and forgotten about by Team Rocket.

...He's still a bit bitter about that.]

It was about three years ago and ssssince I wasn't involved, I don't have all the details, but from what I recall, we used to have a rather...disssturbed individual in our science division. Quite unlike any of the other ones we've had over the years. The type of person I wouldn't bother employing unless they were kept under the sssstrictest supervision.

[He'll pause there, unsure if he should say more about Tarantulas or just continue explaining. Continue explaining wins out after a quick debate.]

Anyways, thisss individual for whatever reason decided to unleash an insectile plague upon Johto. Because he was bored. And part of thisssss...thissss cure for boredom involved a series of airstrikes via exploding Pineco delivered by....actually I can't recall how they were launched.

[...probably because he stopped paying attention to it after an explosion knocked him out.]

The whole thing really was geniussss though. In the hands of a driven individual with goals other than inciting chaos, it might have been much more effective than it was.

[Not that Cobra doesn't appreciate chaos here and there, but there's usually a point to it...or at least there's a reason for it to him.]

...That certainly is interesting. I suppose you're the only one who's been in the organization that long to remember something like that. Did this individual do anything else like that? It sounds like his methods could have been quite fascinating.

Not that I can remember. There may have been ssssome...incidents with various trainers, but nothing that I can recall the specifics of.

[He'll think for a moment more, before giving up.]

No, I'm almost certain that was the only major incident thisss individual started.

That's almost disappointing. It would have been interesting to see how many people here remember something like that.

I'm ssssure there are a few around who might ssstill remember this, but not very many. A handful, maybe. Certainly no more than that.

...It's strange to think that there are still others who have been here as long as you have, Commander. It feels like I've been here forever.

[He's also aware that he's changed a lot over the course of his time here. He has to wonder if Cobra has changed any, but he decides against asking it.]

It is sssstrange. Though there's less and less every time I look.

[Which almost makes him sad. It's not that he misses most of those people, it's just that it's nice to have people who remember some of the things he does.]

However, I refuse to join their number! Not until my victory over thisss world is complete!

[Not that he has any say in the matter, which he knows.]

...You know, Commander, I'd be frightened if you did return home. Your presence here is something I have always been able to count on. I would genuinely hate to see you go.

[Flattery gets you everywhere, but nothing he's said is a lie.]

What an unpopular opinion! Ssstill, I appreciate the sentiment. And I very much feel the sssame way.

[About Archer, in case that's not clear. ...then again Cobra pretty much feels that way about himself too, so it works either way.]
