User blog:Bzero/Red Alert – Another Failure

Red Alert sits at the security station on the bridge of the Ark. He looks miserable. In a much muted (for him) tone, he reports, “As Spike reported earlier, tonight the Ark was infiltrated – although it was by the apparent leader of Evil, Inc. – Ar-Gent Silverfinger. After launching a distraction campaign outside the Ark with a team of reprogrammed Sharkticons, Silverfinger himself infiltrated the Ark and accessed its mainframe.

“Nightstalker detected the intruder and tracked him to the shuttle hold,” Red continues, “where Silverfinger was menacing our human allies DJ Faireborn and Spike himself. Nightstalker intervened, saving DJ and Spike, but Silverfinger escaped, taking one of the Ark shuttlecraft with him. I opened fire but was unable to stop him – the latest in a string of failures, I realize.” Red Alert frowns.

“The rest has been reported by Spike. Silverfinger accessed our files on Casey Arkeville, no doubt acquiring knowledge of his incarceration with us and his subsequent transfer into G.I. Joe custody. Spike has warned the EDC of Evil’s interest, but their apparent unwillingness to move him might allow Evil to spring Arkeville from his current detention. I suggest being ready to assist G.I. Joe when they inevitably need our help. I’ll be available if needed.”

Another moment passes, but Red just sighs. “End security log. Red Alert, out.”
