User blog:Bzero/Cobra Commander - Gulf Coast Operations

Cobra Commander appears in a video recorded in the Oval Office. He sits at the Resolute desk with red curtains hanging behind him, flanked by Cobra flags on matching flagpoles. The Commander's face is hidden behind a mirrored silver mask, and over one shoulder is a red cape thrown jauntily aside. His words, however, are serious. In a digitized, hissing rasp, he announces the following:

"All unassigned personnel in the Gulf Coast region of the United States are to be diverted immediately to relief and recovery missions in Houston and environs. If we're going to run this country, we need to show them that unlike the previous administration, we can actually govern.  Over Kill, I've sent in Aqua-BATs to replace those in Houston damaged in the flooding.  Take command of them when you are in the area."

"The rest of you be on the lookout for G.I. Joe assassins and infiltrators. It's been too long since we've had a direct strike -- they're planning something.  All units are to report in their activities and whereabouts on a continual, regular basis.  We are close to having a lock on this country -- I will not have it slip through my fingers.  Cobra!"

Raising a red-gloved fist in the air, Cobra Commander ends the transmission.
