"We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls" Anais Nin

This morning I drew the Ninth House card. The Ninth House is concerned with fate and karma as well as the need to unite with something greater, as in religion. All of these things represent Cobra to me. I believe that it was my destiny to join Cobra and it is my karmic reward for perserving in the face of advesity, whether that adversity came from outside influences or my own choices. As for religion, I view Cobra Commander as my spirit guide and religious leader. I did betray him once, but I have come to realize it was due to my own faults, not his. I think he realized how tightly wound I was and offered me the chance to live by sending me to the Brainwave Scanner where a lesser man would have killed me.

On the matter of the Brainwave Scanner, I believe that while I hate the machine, it does serve a useful purpose. I do care about our planet's resources and preserving them and there is no resource more valuable that the right people. I use to think it was all people, but now I realize that people rise to where they should be in life, where they've earned the right to be. Take the CIA prisoners I have been interrogating since I brought Major Bludd here. They deserve to have their minds plundered. They knew what would happen if they were captured and chose to fight rather than flee, and now they are ours to do with what we will.

It feels good to be back interrogating and I didn't realize how much I miss it. Interrogation is also spiritual to me.
