Captain Countdown (AU)

''This is for the Apocalypse World EDC officer. For The Transformer, see Countdown.''

"The only stars I want Cobra to see is from an uppercut to the face!"

Satellites are used by every major power for visual surveillance, electronic and infrared intelligence gathering, and as weapons platforms. Even Cobra has a shuttle and its own spy satellites. The battlefield of tomorrow will surely extend into the upper atmosphere and the G.I. Joe team is ready with its own specialist. Countdown is a qualified F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot, a NASA Astronaut, an electronics engineer, and a ranking chess master.
