Yesterday I felt confident enough to show what I've been working on with the Quintesson cloaking technology to my Comrades. Crimson Guard 820 was there and will be able to give the Crimson Twins the news that I have not been wasting time and resources. I've been so busy that I've let details escape me. I knew that the Joes had taken back America and am saddened by the fact that I did not have the new technology ready iin time. I thought we were stretched too thin but I trusted Cobra Commander. I hate to admit it, but G.I. Joe is a worthy foe. I am also upset that we lost such valuable territory with all of its impressive resources. I have spoken with Victor Kirstov and he assures me things are fine in Moscow. Victor hinted that I might find a warmer reception there the next time I go there, so from a personal point of view I gained from the near-conquest of America. I intend to begin writing more regularly again now that I don't have to work so frantically.

There is still the matter of the Red Right Hand and the Coil. In what "free time" I could manage, I've been trying to find an "in" to the Red Right Hand and have been subtly dropping hints that my Viper indentity is dissatisfied with the current Cobra leadership. It's been trying living a double life, but my Grandfather trained me to be a secret operative since birth and I have added to his considerable teachings. There have been many times I have thanked him for sharing his wisdom and experience with me. I've been getting more involved with the Coil as myself and have a feeling of a few more members. No one as significant as Overlord, Doctor Mindbender, Hannibal, and Zandar, but the more I know the better off I am.

Crimson Guard 820 needs the numbers so I better make sure all the "i"s are dotted and "t"s are crossed as the Americans say. I got to go as my Viper persona and hunt for the wolves amongst the cats.
