To: G.I. Joe Command From: Dr. Kenneth D. Rich, Ph.D. Subject: Snapdragon

On Christmas Eve I had a clandestine meeting with Ms. Arkoma, codename: Snapdragon. We met in my San Francisco office, and I questioned her at length about her interest in assisting G.I. Joe against Cobra. It seems Ms. Arkoma was duped by Destro into believing G.I. Joe was responsible for the death of her father, and now she wishes a combination of revenge, a chance to clear her name, and to do the right thing.

Ms. Arkoma seemed believable and sincere in her intentions, although any counter-intelligence agent worth their salt would have to be. She’s offered Cobra operations data and personal records to verify her story, although since she’s reportedly taken leave of Cobra her access to recent actionable intelligence is allegedly limited. She has, however, offered to rejoin Cobra to act as a double-agent for G.I. Joe.

If Ms. Arkoma is telling the truth, she could become a valuable asset for G.I. Joe. However, without Twilight to verify for certain the veracity of her story, I advise caution. I suggest an initial partnership with Scarlett, who can better size up Ms. Arkoma’s potential usefulness and direct her with proper efficiency. We may wish to drop some seemingly juicy information in her lap and see if Cobra responds to it as well.

I want to believe Ms. Arkoma is telling the truth, but wishing something doesn’t make it so. I may also wish to consult with Spirit to analyze Ms. Arkoma’s current mental state in an attempt to predict how well she’ll handle the stress of acting as a double-agent for Cobra and G.I. Joe. If she is a plant, she might be useful as well as a conduit of disinformation to Cobra. Attached please find a report of my initial psychoanalysis.
