History[]
Canonical/Pre-MUX/Theme History:[]
On Augut 10, 1952, Shana Mae O'Hara was born in Atlanta, Georgia where her father and three older brothers were martial arts instructors. Scarlett got along well with her father and brothers, beginning her training at nine years of age. They discovered that Scarlett had a natural affinity for the ancient fighting arts and was only fifteen when she was awarded a black belt. Scarlett and her sister Siobhan never got along well, and they drifted apart as they got older. After joining the Army, Scarlett received a varied education, attending Covert Ops School, Marine Sniper School, Special Air Service School and the Marine Tae Kwon Do symposium. Scarlett has participated in many martial arts tournaments and is also qualified as an Army hand-to-hand combat trainer. She is proficient in various weaponry, including the XK-1 power crossbow and many martial arts weapons such as throwing stars, garrote and ka-bar.
Scarlett's first assignment on the G.I. Joe team was to train the new team in hand-to-hand combat. During the exercises, she met Snake-Eyes for the first time. While she bested most of the team's members, she recognized that Snake-Eyes was a superior fighter despite the fact that he had allowed her to beat him, wanting her to keep her dignity and respect with the other Joes. Scarlett was intrigued by his actions, and as a result, they became very close.
On a mission in the Middle East, Snake-Eyes, Scarlett, Rock 'n Roll, and Grunt were sent to save George Strawhacker from Cobra. On the way, the helicopter in which they were traveling began to malfunction, forcing Rock 'n' Roll and Grunt to bail out before it crashed. Scarlett remained stuck in the burning helicopter, however, and Snake-Eyes stayed behind to save his lover. He rescued her, but a window exploded right in his face, scarring him and damaging his vocal cords. Despite his injuries, Snake-Eyes convinced Hawk to let him continue with the mission. Scarlett recovered from her injuries but Snake-Eyes harbored no ill will and the two became even closer.
The two were later tasked with infiltrating Cobra's island hideout to rescue Dr. Adele Burkhart. They managed to infiltrate the base deep enough to actually confront Cobra Commander holding the scientist at gunpoint. Burkhart refused to let the Commander get away with his plan to kill the Joes and was shot. Scarlett took a risk and injured the Commander's hand with a shuriken. Burkhart, though wounded, was saved, but the Commander managed to escape.
Some time later, Scarlett participated in a mission in the Middle East to keep Colonel Sharif's men from getting an object the Joes dubbed "Hot Potato." She took a leave of absence during that time to participate in a martial arts tournament. It was broken off, though, as she was called on another mission to investigate an incident in the Arctic. There, she met the mercenary Kwinn whom even she couldn't best in a fight. The Eskimo knew how to use his size to good effect. As the Joes are ferocious fighters, he came to respect them.
After a raid on a Cobra stronghold, the Joes retrieved a Cobra battle robot. The next day, Scarlett and Hawk had to make a showing for a social tea held at the motor pool above the Pit. Despite the commotions that went on with the activated battle robot below, they had to maintain the cover that the motor pool was nothing more than just that. A robotic insect that was a remnant of the robot managed to get to the top, but Scarlett quickly crushed it with her foot.
On a mission in Afghanistan, Scarlett met the Oktober Guard. After both groups escaped a gauntlet from Cobra, Stalker made the field decision to team with the Guard and go after the RTV, a decision of which Scarlett was extremely critical. Her participation came in handy as she managed to keep the team from certain doom during a trap which flooded a tunnel in the Cobra stronghold.
Later Scarlett was captured by Cobra and held at the Silent Castle. She escaped her cell, overpowering Storm Shadow, and fled the castle with Snake-Eyes. Discovering that Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow sported the same tattoo, she compared notes with Hawk and Stalker to learn more about their silent comrade's past. She subsequently met the Soft Master and learned more.
At the same time a promotion was announced for Scarlett and all the other original Joes bar Snake-Eyes, being entitled to wear the Presidential Unit citation if and when G.I. Joe's activities were declassified, as well as being put in charge of operations at the Pit. However, the Joes involved made their feelings clear that they wished to remain as field troops.
Cobra tried to capture Scarlett again when she took a romantic trip with Snake-Eyes aboard the Staten Island ferry. She was observed by the Cobra agent Fred II and three others who did not recognize Snake-Eyes. The four were quickly overpowered.
Around this time Scarlett was part of a Joe team sent to Afghanistan to capture a new Soviet a new helicopter-mounted laser canon. At the Pit Scarlett and other Joes discovered that the "Ripcord" they had saved on Cobra Island was actually Zartan. Soon after she took part in the assault on Springfield.
Back at the Pit Barbecue's mouth got him in trouble when he criticized Snake-Eyes for letting the Cobra ninja Storm Shadow just walk out of the base, resulting in Scarlett hitting him. Subsequently Snake-Eyes disguised himself as Flint so that he could be captured and infiltrate Cobra operations in Sierra Gordo. Scarlett was deeply concerned for him and was part of the team that went in to steal a Terror Drome, though Snake-Eyes had been taken on to New York. Scarlett joined Storm Shadow and Timber and helped Snake-Eyes escape.
When Snow Job, Quick Kick, and Stalker were captured on a secret, off the books mission into Borovia, she and Snake-Eyes faked their deaths and along with the Blind Master, Billy, Storm Shadow and Jinx, went in to rescue them.
Just prior to the Battle of Benzheen, she had sustained severe Head trauma from a shot to the head by the Baroness, causing a short-Term Coma, but she recovered in time to join the Battle, and was assigned to Ninja Force for the duration, along with Storm Shadow, Snake-Eyes, and Jinx.
Much later Scarlett was given the mission of feigning defection to Cobra. She was deeply disturbed when she thought she had caused the deaths of Hawk and Stalker to maintain her cover. Zarana still did not trust her, so Scarlett sought to prove herself, working with Dr. Biggles-Jones in pursuing the fleeing Destro and Baroness. When confronted by Snake-Eyes the latter was forced to drive his sword through Scarlett, but the wound missed her vital organs. She received medical treatment, saving her life.
Transported to Milleville, Scarlett found that Biggles-Jones claimed to know she was a double-agent. Scarlett tried to deny it but Biggles-Jones told her "the whole truth." They were overheard by Dr. Mindbender who ordered Scarlett be placed under arrest but she broke free when Biggles-Jones was captured by the Decepticon Megatron. Scarlett escaped with the aid of Snake-Eyes, other Joes, and a group of Autobots, but Biggles-Jones surrendered to Megatron to allow the others to escape the Decepticon. She was subsequently rescued by the Autobot Skydive.
Scarlett and Snake-Eyes took time out in the High Sierras, but they received news that Storm Shadow had been captured by Cobra and she told Snake-Eyes he had to "do what you have to" and go to save his old friend. Scarlett was part of the team of Joes present when the team was decommissioned and the Pit deactivated.
MUX History:[]
In 1997, G.I. Joe was reactivated once again. Scarlett was one of the first to return to duty with the G.I. Joe team, as she was dissatisfied with her work with other units of the Army.
In early 2003, Scarlett ended her relationship with Snake-Eyes, throwing her engagement ring into the sewer in a fit of rage.
Since 2004, Scarlett has moved on with her life without Snake-Eyes, remaining his friend, and her life with the Joes has gone on as normal, her missions unchanged. Undercover operations to draw out Cobra Operatives abound, inter-spaced with missions leading Joes into combat against Cobra. Most Notably, she and Temera spent time undercover in Colombia, trying and succeeding to gain access the Cobra Colombia Base, prior to the Joe invasion of that base. Scarlett helped Duke lead the invasion force, which led to the base's destruction.
In 2009, rumors began circulating that Scarlett and Snake-Eyes may be seeing one another romantically again.
In September of 2009, she was promoted to Sergeant Major and tasked with putting pressure on the Cobra Island command split. She is also, along with Stalker and Gung-Ho, one of the main Field Commanders for the Joe Team. She leads the Alpha Team.
Four nights prior to Christmas, 2009, she was mortally wounded in a fight with Over Kill, not by Over Kill, but by a Vector, defending Wright Patterson Air Force Base. This led to a month of paralysis and another month of rehab and recovery. She was framed for an assault on Krista, just after she was able to rejoin active duty, and surrendered to the Pentagon, to avoid having the Joes have yet more issues with the media. General Colton promptly gave her a mission to go through the portal, into the SG World, to gather intelligence, and she gathered a team to do just that. Shortly thereafter Snake-Eyes also disappeared through the portal, and has not yet returned.
During her time in the Shattered Glass Universe, Scarlett met with the Decepticon, Slickspin, and secured a semi-Alliance with him. Scarlett also infiltrated the SG-Pit, disguised as her SG double, Ebony. She was able to get a lot of information out to her team, (See the IC Journal Entries).
However, Scarlett's presence was discovered by General Flint, with Ebony's help, and she was forced to attempt to fight her way free. She fought Flint, knocking him out, but as she was just about to escape, Ebony arrived and knocked her unconscious. Ebony than killed General Flint for his failure, blaming the death on Scarlett. If not for the timely arrival of Slickspin and Airborne, whom she had ordered to return to the Prime Universe, she would have been killed, or captured than killed. (See The Looking Glass Breaks.)
Scarlett was returned to the Prime Universe, taken to the Pit, where she was in medical, recovering. When she awakened, she had knowledge of Infiltrators that she had to track down. When she recovered, she led the group that tracked down the infiltrators, and she again went solo and took it upon herself to follow the infiltrators back to their base, and rescued Lifeline, Lowdown, and Raven from the SG-Joes (See: Red to the Rescue).
After this, Scarlett completed an Intelligence evaluation of the Pit's current location and sent her recommendation up the Chain of Command. She has also noticed that there may be in issue with the drug cartels in Mexico, that may require G.I. Joe, or at the very least, American intervention. All of this has been accomplished, while still awaiting her Security Clearance to be reinstated, and her 'Wedding' to Lifeline to be annulled.
Scarlett's wedding to Lifeline was annulled, her Security Clearance returned... but this as just before Cobra Commander returned, and she flew a F-35 Lightning II into an Overpass, trying to get to the Scene in time to help the team of Joes that were pinned down. She ejected safely but lost her Flight Clearance. She ran across Storm Shadow, and this set in motion events that would lead to yet another change in her life.
Scarlett knew Snake-Eyes would once again have to chase down Storm Shadow and try to "fix" him. This led to a fight, verbal as well as physical, between Snake-Eyes and Scarlett, culminating with her returning his Engagement Ring, and permanently calling off their wedding. She left Snake-Eyes in the Infirmary and walked away from him promising to: 'Never cry over you {Snake-Eyes}, again.'
Scarlett's next task was to oversee the construction of the new Pit, mostly since it was her Intelligence that led to the new Construction. During Construction, she responded to the first raid by the newly aggressive Cobra, on Pensacola Naval Air Station. In the attack, she was wounded, but Lifeline was able to patch her up, and her duty of overseeing the construction of the Pit was not put behind schedule.
Also during the new Pit construction, Scarlett located Storm Shadow, in Washington D.C. and went to him. (Sword Fight at the Lincoln Memorial) The fight resulted in Storm Shadow fleeing, but left her with a broken Right Elbow, requiring both surgical repair, and some replacement parts (Surgery!). It also led to the beginning of a possible new relationship between her and Lifeline, the early stages were tentative and wrought with unknown.
While recovering, Scarlett was visiting Fort Hood, and was caught in the Final defense of the Pit located under it. She spent one week leading the survivors of the attack down through the rubble to the escape pods.
Scarlett has recovered from that surgery, and continued to do her Intelligence duties, while also taking on increasingly dangerous missions. While she has not admitted it to herself, she knows she is doing so, because of the breakup with Snake-Eyes, and the loneliness in her heart (The Lifeline relationship still growing too slowly to take the place of the Snake-Eyes relationship). She has also been more active in Command decisions, asserting herself in ways that she hasn't before, ensuring that the Joes move forward with their work of stopping Cobra.
Greenshirts have noticed a chill about Scarlett in the Hand-to-Hand training classes that she still holds in the early mornings, but most Joes are writing it off to the breakup, and think it is only temporary. Which it did prove to be, although she remains distant to all but close friends.
Scarlett took many solo missions, be they infiltration or intelligence missions, or just missions where she took a team of greenshirts away from the Pit for weeks at a time. The visible scars from these missions are few, but the greenshirt reports to their superiors are concerning. Scarlett is taking risks she shouldn't, and while she has yet to be severely injured, it is only a matter of time.
This happens in Late 2010 when Scarlett and Low-Light go to Delaware to stop Over Kill and his Vectors from stealing gold and diamonds from a repository there. She is injured from being over-confident, but even this does not change her tactics. As soon as she is cleared from medical, she once again goes out and does more of the same. She is on an almost self-destructive path, but while on this path, she is dealing heavy blows to Cobra, and the Joe Command is having trouble reconciling the results versus the risks. Hawk, Duke, and Flint are arguing to pull her in, while the Jugglers are pushing to let her continue. Their thought is 'What is one soldier, in the long run?'.
When Cobra attempted to reclaim the Cobra Consulate, it was Scarlett that ordered a team to attempt to knock Cobra out of the building, and it was she that authorized, and personally led the team that went in after the first attempt failed. She is starting to subscribe to the philosophy that it is 'Better to beg forgiveness, than to get permission, especially when you are right', rather than worry about all the red tape. This second attempt succeeded, however, Baroness, Major Bludd and Interrogator, who had taken refuge inside, were able to escape, while leaving a troop of BATs behind to wreak havoc on New York City, and Scarlett had to deal with the aftermath of this.
In June of 2011 when Banshee went missing from a Hospital in San Antonio, Scarlett took it on herself to find her, and spent almost two weeks trying to find the woman, and just as she was giving up, Banshee returned, different. This caused Scarlett to reach out to the Autobots, for help. However, before she got very far with the Autobots, Cobra invaded Al-Alawi. Just as she and Spike were making progress on negotiations, she was ordered to lead a force into Al-Alawi to begin the process of removing Cobra.
Scarlett took a flight of Boeing AH-64 Apache Helicopters accompanied by Ghostrider and a flight of F-35 Lightning II's against the Cobra Terror Drome and their forces. The Apaches were wiped out, and the F-35's were forced to fall back. Scarlett was the only survivor from the Apache flight. She was able to escape the Ground forces, by using her Crossbow to fire a net around Interrogator and Over-Kill, and escape. See: Air Skirmish at Al-Alawi
Scarlett was able to radio the Joes, and report the situation, but soon, a Jamming signal prevented any radio signals from getting out of the country. She stayed close to the Terror Drome, to gather intelligence, and was able to confirm that Cobra had captured the Crown Prince. However, soon after that, she was again confronted by Interrogator and Over Kill, and this time, they were able to severely injure her, and while she again was able to escape, she knew she was in trouble. See: Search Party and Settling a Score.
Scarlett spent a week trying to get out of the country, many of them flat on her back. After two days of wandering the desert, a group of Kurds found her, and took her in. They had watched her battle Cobra, and decided she was on their side. They did their best to care for her wounds, while carrying her to the Al-Alawi/Iraq border, where she was able to get a signal to the Joes, bringing them up to date on the situation in Al-Alawi.
The Joes launched a massive assault on Al-Alawi but were pushed back. However, they did retrieve Scarlett, bringing her back to the Pit. See: Battle at Al-Alawi.
While Scarlett recovered from her injuries, she was 'talked' to by many of her friends, and shamed into thinking about her recent actions, and how they would feel about her death, if she had died on one of her 'suicide runs'. She promised she would try to make sure she always had a way out, if possible.
To prevent more suicidal runs, however, Hawk made Scarlett Duke's second, giving her more field command duties. Before she was even out of Medical, she was tested. The world started to flood. She was forced to give orders to many Joes she had never worked with much, while still working on ideas for kicking Cobra our of Al-Alawi.
Before any of her ideas for Al-Alawi could be implemented, Cobra took the Country, renamed it to The People's Republic of Cobra Unity or the CU, and got official U.N. recognition. However, Scarlett submitted a plan to use an Old Mobile Command Center on the Iraq border to keep an eye on Cobra, and then turned her attention to the Flooding problem.
When it was discovered Megatron and the Decepticon's were behind it, Scarlett was forced to swallow her pride and form an Alliance with Cobra. This was after the Pit was flooded, and there was little way for the few people remaining inside to get out. Scarlett was trapped inside, but she found a way for her, and a few others to get out. In the Motor Pool were a wing of SHARCs, brought in for repair, that had been finished. They used the Elevator as an Airlock and swam to the SHARCs. Scarlett used this method as a way in and out of the Pit many times. See: Strange Bedfellows
In November, Scarlett joined the Joes on the USS Flagg, to prepare for an attack on the North Pole facility of the Decepticons, and while there, she had an encounter with an Autobot that made her wonder if some of them were more child-like than Spike ever wanted to admit. See: Housebreaking Air Raid.
Scarlett was also forced to engage Windshear, where she lost yet another F-35, bringing her total of destroyed Prototypes to 3. She also was forced to eject into the icy waters of the North Atlantic and suffered Hypothermia. While in the water, she decided she would never fly an F-35 again, as they seemed bad luck for her.
Scarlett assisted lead the raid on the Northern Facility, both from the deck of the USS Flagg, by using a Sniper Rifle to shoot out the optics of Scourge and by flying an old Skystriker XP-14F, one of the last aboard the Flagg, into combat against Valour, to prevent the Cobra Kingsnake from being destroyed.
Scarlett's plan for the Mobile Command Center was approved, but before the base could be completed, in Iraq, Cobra forces attacked it and destroyed it. (See Log: 8-8-2012)
Scarlett spent the next two years in Al-Alawai, mostly with the Kurd Rebels, fighting a losing battle against Cobra's take over of the Country. She rarely emerged from the country, and when she did, it was only for short periods of time. One of the times she did emerge was for the unveiling of the new Skystriker, the Skystriker XP-21F.
Finally in late December of 2013, she returned to the Pit, in bad shape, physically, emotionally, and with news of the destruction of the Rebel Forces she was fighting with. She spent a week receiving medical attention, before she was even allowed to return to the Pit, and even after returning to the Pit, Lifeline recommended psychological therapy for her, which, for once, she did not fight, and she has been attending regular sessions with Psyche-Out.
In Early January of 2014, Scarlett engaged Over-Kill in New York City (See Log: You making a Movie?) and sustained some injuries. While recovering from these injuries, she left medical without clearance, and closed on a farmhouse, 30 miles west of Offut A.F.B.
In 2015, Scarlett was sent to Iraq to replace Beachhead as advanced infantry trainer.
In 2016, Scarlett returned to the US.
In 2017, Scarlett was reassigned to Pit I in Fort Wadsworth.
In 2022, Scarlett's brother Joseph disappeared.
In 2023, Scarlett was assigned to assist lead Team Jem at Eidolon Space Force.
In 2024, Scarlett was once again promoted to CSM and placed back in charge of G.I. Joe's Alpha Strike Team.
OOC Notes[]
Scarlett once again Leads the Alpha Strike Team of the Joes. She formerly led Strike Team Bravo.
Scarlett also spent long periods of time leading Rebel Forces in Al-Alawai/Cobra Unity. (Before they were wiped out)
While frightened by very little, Scarlett has a severe phobia of Spiders!

RE: Mission Updates
With recent rumors coming out of Cobra Island, and Destro and Baroness' very public fued over Cobra Island control, we need to figure out exactly what is going on. I want all Intelligence personnel to check into it, get with your Contacts, check known Cobra Bases for signs of a Military Buildup, Recon Flights and Satelite passes should be stepped up.
Communications Personnel, I want taps into all Cobra Communications and Internet Networks. Confirm the rumors.
All other Joes should be ready, on a short notice. The last time Cobra Island went Civil War, we were sent in to clean up the mess, and I want Assault Teams Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie on Full Combat Readiness. I have no idea which side we will be supporting, if any, but be ready to go. One team will remain on full Alert Status on each Shift. Alpha from 0 hundred hours, throu 0800, Bravo from 0800 until 1600, and Charlie from 1600 until 0 hundred. All times Central Time, based on the Location of the PIT. Team Leaders probably need to see me, after we get an Intelligence update.

RE: After Action Report: 11/10/2009 - Cape Canaveral
Upon learning about the capabilities of the latest Satellite NASA intended to launch, Geo-Exploration (Oil and Precious Metal Exploration), I decided to ensure the Satellite's safe launch, by attending in person, with a full Green Shirt Technical Crew. Corporal Oaks detected a pair of Incoming Vectors, and I prevented the Cobra Attack to either destroy, or more likely, steal the Satellite. Wisp, in her Lightning II was able to beat back their Airsupport Night Raven, while I engaged Major Bludd, and Over Kill. The Greenshirt Technical Crew handled the B.A.T.s effectively.
NASA successfully launched the Satellite, and telemetry links are normal.

FROM: Master Sergeant Shana 'Scarlett' O'Hara
RE: Wright Patterson Air Force Base
On the night of 12-21-2009 I was checking the Security around the Old Pit at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, when Cobra Attacked. Over Kill's Vectors bombed the Airfield, taking out most of the runways, all of the Support Buildings, and all Aircraft with the exception of three F-18's, two F-15's, and Slipstream's Conquest X-30. I was injured a little in the explosion, which is why it took me a little while to respond to Over Kill... He was on the ground, attacking the Base. Slipstream Responded immediately to the Air Threat, preventing the Vectors from causing any further collateral damage.
During the fight with Over Kill, I had him disabled, but the Vectors tried to rescue him, and severely injured me. Thanks to Lifeline, I am not going to die, but at the moment, I can not move my legs... I hope that will change, but Lifeline will have to answer that question.
Slipstream and Wisp must have gotten me back to the Pit, and they also must have driven the Vectors off.... But Wright Patterson will be ineffective as an Air Force Base for the foreseeable future... But it appeared that all the underground facilities were undamaged, and the prior Pit's Location does not appear to be compromised.

Dec 23 - Scarlett's Medical Report, by Lifeline[]
Scarlett sustained some serious injuries in last night's attack, including abdominal lacerations which caused considerable internal bleeding. She had some minor bruising and lacerations to several internal organs, and one of the lacerations cut very close to her thoracic vertebrae and her spinal cord.
Fortunately, nothing was severed. The paralysis that she's experiencing now is due to inflammation interfering with spinal nerves. In other words, it's a temporary situation, until the swelling and infection goes down. There may be need for a second surgery to stabilize some of the other internal injuries, but I really want to wait and see, because there's a chance it may not be necessary if she does well in coming weeks.
I'm sending a notice out to Joes with 'O-Type' blood to please donate for Scarlett. She bled heavily during surgery, and she will need a steady supply in coming days. Donation is painless, and it only takes about half an hour.

RE: Snapdragon
I will reiterate my position from many months ago, that being: I do NOT trust her. Even more now that I saw her sucking up to Cobra Personnel, especially Major Bludd, at the Cobra Holiday Party. It seemed a lot more than just polite discussion, but I was unable to get close enough to listen in.
I highly recommend that Ms. Arkoma not be given access to the PIT, or any Secrets we wish to keep.
Perhaps, as such, we should consider relocating the PIT, if she already knows the location for certain. Call me Paranoid, or what you will, but I have my concerns.

We need more Security Details, and we also might need to go to the Otherside, and see what we can find out about what they are doing here. Personally, I recommend that if anyone goes, it be a small team, and it should be ordered to *only* be there for at most, 24 to 48 hours.
Team should consist of:
Intelligence Specialist
Recon Expert
Medic
Heavy Weapons Specialist
Communications Expert
Computer Expert
This mix will allow for the best possible Intelligence, and Defensive Action (If needed), they should all be members of the G.I. Joe team, if possible, as they will be able to fight their way out of most situations, if they have to. Recommend against any other than a Foot, or possibly Automobile/All Terrain Vehicle, Incursion, due to the possibility of them being out of place. The Intelligence Specialist should be either myself, Lady Jaye, or Chameleon. The three of us have an eye that allow us to gleem the most important information the quickest. Recommended Members of the Team include:
Intel: Scarlett, Lady Jaye, or Chameleon
Recon: Stalker Or Snake-Eyes
Medic: Evac or Lifeline
HW:Roadblock, Rock'n'Roll, or Heavy Duty
Comms: Dial Tone or Mainframe
Computers: Mainframe or Dial tone
The Communications and Computer Experts, might possibly be filled by one person, but I would request than that we add another Weapons Specialist, Perhaps Bazooka, or an Infantry Specialist, Like Footloose, Leatherneck, or Grunt.

RE: Other Side Slipstream
I have spoken to Slipstream, from the other side of the portal, and I now believe he means us no harm. As such, I have ordered that he be treated more like a guest, than a prisoner. He is voluntarily staying at Camp Pendelton, in the Brig, but he will be allowed, under escort, outside for two hours a day, allowed to smoke, and be provided with soft drinks, from time to time. In exchange, he will answer any questions we have about the Othersiders.

Bazooka - Heavy Weapons
Dial-Tone - Communications - Computers
Leatherneck - Combat
Stretcher - Medical
We will be available on Frequency 342.2134. You will have to send a drone through the portal with a prerecorded message, or send someone through, with a radio... We don't plan on being there for longer than two to three weeks, but it might be longer, if needed.

May 10 - Official Report on the Pit[]
TO: G.I. Joe Command Staff, Joint Chiefs of Staff (Pentagon), Secretary of Defense, White House Chief of Staff, Vice President, PotUS (President)
From: Sergeant Major Shana M. O'Hara, CODE-NAME: Scarlett
RE: The Pit
After throughly reviewing all Intelligence files for the last several years, I have been left with no doubts that Cobra likely has figured out where the Pit is located. If Cobra knows, and if they plan on resuming their Terrorist Strikes on American targets, like Baroness Anastasia DeCobray has claimed they will do if we do not re-open Peace Talks with them, than we have to assume the Pit would be a High-Priority target. I would like to recommend that we begin an immediate dispersal of all essential personal to a secondary site. I have chosen four sites that make the most sense, and listed them in order from best suited to our needs to least. (See attached Report on Site Reports)
For a T-A-D (Temporary Away Duty) Assignment breakdown, I would recommend all Naval Personal be equally divided between the U.S.S. FLAGG and Ingleside Naval Air Station 20 Miles NorthEast of Corpus Christi, Texas. Our Air Force Personal should be T-A-D'd to Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi and Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. Our Marine Personal should be T-A-D'd to Marine Corp Detachment of the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, and to the Marine Corp Air Station Miramar, in Miramar, California. The Army Personal should be T-A-D'd to Fort Hunter Ligget, in California, Fort Polk, in Louisianna, Fort Stewart in Georgia, and Fort Sill, Oklahoma. These T-A-D Assignments allows for maximum Coverage of the U.S. Mainland from attacks by our main threat, Cobra, from their main base, in the Gulf. It does divide the team, which I do not like, but until such a time as a central location big enough to handle the entire team is put together, we will have to break the team down into smaller teams. I can prepare a more formal breakdown of assignments as needed, and forward those to the appropriate people.
The list of sites I have chosen for possible locations for the Pit V locations are as follows, with their Pros and Cons listed:
1) Offutt Air Force Base, Omaha, Nebraska
Large, Defunct Strategic Air Command Base. Most of the Above and Below Ground Structure we need is already in place. The location is almost the exact middle of the Country. The only downside is that the SAC base is no longer in full service, but the Air Base is in full service. We could quietly reactivate the SAC part of the base, and having people there would not be too large of a problem.
2) Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma There is plenty of room to build, both above and below ground on the base. The base is located centrally in the Country and would allow the quickest response time to any part of the United States. However, the thousands of new people that the Pit would bring in Joes, Greenshirts, and Support Staff might be noticed.
3) Andrews Air Force Base, Prince George County, Maryland Close to Washington, close to High Value Targets. Influx of Military Personal would not be noticed. However, Difficulty in building the underground facilities and less than ideal centralization due lead to questions in idealness of location.
4) Edwards Air Force Base, Los Angeles, California Large Area for above ground building, however, Earth Quake Zone, and Location for Reaction time to Other Locations not ideal.
My recommendation: Offut AFB, Omaha, Nebraska

May 20 - IC Report: Mexico[]
TO: Joe Command
FROM: Sergeant Major Shana 'Scarlett' O'Hara
RE: Mexico
I have noticed something odd going on in Mexico. Cartel Activity is High. And there seems to be new players involved. Attached are surviellence photos we have of known Cartel members, involved in a shoot out with At least two, if not three Cobra Agents in El Paso, Texas, Confirmed Identifications on Sebastian Bludd, AKA Major Bludd, Diana Bourne, AKA Artemis, and tenative ID, on Heather Pennington, AKA Tele-Viper 742, and believed to be now called Wiretap.
Pictures of all three in Civilian Clothing. Each involved in a shoot out with Cartel Members, Artemis from the Back of a MotorCycle, Wiretap from behind a Bench, covering another Cartel Member, and Bludd from inside an SUV
Bludd and the Blond, believed to be Pennington have been spotted across the border in Cuidad Juarez, Mexico. It seems Cobra is either fighting against the Cartels, fighting with the Cartels, or both. This also goes along with Signals traffic (OOC: Radio Chatter, Cell Phone Taps, Landline Phone Taps, E-Mail Hacks, Chat-Room Hacks, etc) that Headman may be active in Mexico. This may be where he went after escaping custody. I will continue to monitor the situation.

I found the remains of Dr. Jonathon Grimes, Veterinarian. He was bound, gagged, and strapped into the Rage, likely as a hostage.
I found nothing to indicate where the Commander, Baroness, and Artemis went. I did however, find two more males, wearing the uniforms of Range-Vipers, although, Fingerprints and DNA will be required for Identification. Their heads were missing... Or, perhaps I should say, their heads were spread over a 30 foot radius from their bodies, like something blew them up from the inside.

RE: The Pit
It is the opinion of myself, and some of the Other in the Intelligence Department, that the Pit's location has probbaly been comprimised, and that Cobra knows the location. We have been here for years, and as such, I have recommended a new location for the Pit. (See Intelligence Report Dated: 05-10-2010, Declassified for the whole team now.)
Orders have come down from 'On High', regarding the Pit. The Pit will be closing shortly. We will be moving to the Old S.A.C. Base under Offut Air Force base, as soon as it has been retrofitted to be our new Base. The retrofit should only take 1 month, at most, and during that time, Team Alpha will provide Security and Intelligence Coverage for the Base, while Teams Bravo, Charlie, and Delta will be sent to different Military Installations around the Country, to provide over all coverage of Hot Targets. Bravo will head to Edwards, Charlie, to Andrews, while Delta will be at Tinker A.F.B, along with most of our Air Assests. The U.S.S. Flagg will also be a location we place a Small Team. Three Members of Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta will be assigned to the Flagg, to be a mobile reaction force, along with the other half of the Air Assests. As soon as the Offut Pit is prepared, all teams will be reassigned to that location. Report to your Team Leaders for assignment. This Pit needs to be empty in 1 week.
OOC NOTE: Any Questions, send em to me, or General G.I. Joe.

FROM: Sergeant Major Shana M. 'Scarlett' O'Hara
RE: Washington D.C. After Action Report
Storm Shadow was spotted by National Media in Washington D.C. and as the closest Agent likely to be able to stop whatever plans he had, I assigned myself the task of going after him. I commandeered an F-22 from the Offut Airfield, and flew to Andrews.
I went to the location of his siting, and found clues leading me to the top of the Lincoln Memorial, where I found Storm Shadow. I attempted to arrest him, he refused. A Fight ensued, but in an effort to keep property damage down, I did not use firearms. In the fight, Storm Shadow sustained many injuries, I only recieved a couple. The worst was a shattered right elbow that required surgical repair.
Lifeline has completed the repairs, and I am sure he will make a report on the surgery when his notes are complete.
Storm Shadow escaped. I am not sure, if any of the violence is Storm Shadow's work, other than the explosions. They were too perfectly timed with the start of the combat, to be anything other than part of his plan.

RE: The Fort Hood Pit
I was returning to the Fort Hood Pit for a follow up check up on the elbow surgery I had, when Cobra launched an attack on Fort Hood. As I had feared, Cobra knew where we were. The dispersement plan I had set in place meant they did not catch many of us here, but it also meant, most of our forces were unable to respond to the attack. We beat back the ground forces they commited to the attack, but their air support started bombing, and we were forced to retreat back into the Pit. The Bombs from their Air Cover damaged the Hatches Leading to the surface, warping them. We can not get them open from the inside. We dare not try to cut them open from the inside, or outside, because we are on recycled oxygen. I have initiated evacuation procedures, and all Joes are ordered to the Lower levels to use the Escape Plans Beta and Delta.
I will set the Demolition charges, so that if anyone tries to get in, before we return to remove our equipment, the place will blow... All G.I. Joe members in the Pit were ordered to report to Wright Patterson as a rallying point. I will be heading back to Offut, when I get out, to make sure the final preparations are complete, so that the Joes can move in.

We can attempt to open the hatches into the Motorpool, to get the vehicles stored in Vehicle Storage out, or we can blow the whole thing up, and bury everything under tons of rock, at your discretion. I have sealed off the Emergancy exits, and the sites are under remote surviellence.
As of now, the Joes assigned to Fort Hood as a Station keeping unit should all have arrived at Wright Patterson. I propose a staged move to Offut, over the course of the next week, to slowly move them into the New Pit.

RE: Destro's Weather Dominator
With the Associated Press Story about Destro's U.N. Desires, and the capabilities of the Weather Dominator, we should be concerned. From my reading of the story, it could possibly be used to severely damage the weather patterns of the United States, and cause either a drought, or too much rain. Either would destroy the agricultural system of the United States, and require us to buy food from another country... one who pays Destro to do such evil.
There is also the possibility of causing cold weather throughout all of the United States, or intensifying the cold in the North part of the country, again, causing us to purchase what is needed from outside the U.S., for example, Heating Oil. This could destabilize the U.S. Economy even more.
We need to consider getting close to Destro, somehow... I could go under cover.

RE: Cobra Consulate After Action Report
Lowdown and I led a team of Greenshirts against the Cobra Consulate, to kick out the trespassers. Lowdown quickly took The Baroness down with Sniper fire, while I lead the Greenshirts in the assault on the main building. Lowdown engaged Interrogator, with Sniper fire, while I took Major Bludd in closer range combat. We forced the High Value Targets to flee, via the roof, while capturing many Vipers.
However, Cobra deployed many BAT's via airdrop, and we were forced to engage them, giving many of these Vipers a chance to flee. By the time we took out all but the final five BAT's, who we have teams tracking, after they broke into the Sewers, too many Joes were injured, or killed, along with several NYPD cops that were trying to keep the BAT's off of civilians.
If Cobra has returned to using BAT's in this manner, we will be forced to prepare for it. I have ordered that as many of the BAT's that is possible to be reconstructed, be taken to a secure location at Edwards Air Force Base, so that we might have training missions practicing on taking BAT's out quickly, and effectively.

RE: 2nd Lieutenant Lori "Banshee" Henshaw and the Autobots
SENT: 2011-07-14, 0950
At roughly 2200, on 2011-07-13, I received (As did the Entire G.I. Joe secure Communication Channel) word of Lt. Henshaw's whereabouts, directly from Lt. Henshaw herself. I had her prove her bonafides, than informed her of the location of the Pit. It did not take her long to arrive, and while in the process, she informed me that she had witnessed a Decepticon attack an Autobot, and provided a rough location. I passed this information on to the Autobots, via Spike Whitwicky.
Mr. Whitwicky returned information on Anastasia DeCobray, AKA The Baroness, and her interest in Mr. Whitwicky's newborn daughter Megan, and in Ebony, by duplicate from across the dimensional rift. This information will be forthcoming in an Intelligence Report.
Coldshot (P.O. Woolfe) and myself went to meet Lt. Henshaw on the flightline of Offut A.F.B., where she arrived in what I can only describe as a suit of what would appear to be Iron man Armor, but in a different color scheme. Her story is that she was taken from Wilford Hall USAF Medical Center, Lackland AFB, Texas, by a Decepticon, named Thunderwing. He did.... whatever it is that was done to her. I was still in contact with Mr. Whitwicky, and I invited him and an Autobot scientist to Offut to investigate this Exosuit.
They arrived and began a series of visual scans, along with some kind of scan that is beyond our technology, or my ability to explain, except that it looked like a cross between a Star Trek Tricorder, and a Star Wars Holographic Projector. They sent this information to something called Teletraan Two. They also invited Lt. Henshaw and myself to return with them to their base, for further tests.
I am going to accept this invitation, for a few reasons.
- . We need to discover what this Thunderwing did to one of our Joes.
- . If the Exosuit is dangerous, to Lt. Henshaw, or the Joes, they might be able to remove it.
- . It will give me a chance to meet with the Autobot Command, and perhaps finally hammer out a deal for G.I. Joe/Autobot Mutual Assistance.
- . The chance to pick up Intelligence, just by being there, is too good to pass up. One never knows what I might see that our Scientists could use in their research. Not to mention, we need all the help we can get in fighting Cobra and the Decepticons.
I am going to leave Gung-Ho in Command of the Pit, awaiting Duke, Hawk, or Flint's return from their other assignments, but I do imagine, in case of emergency, that the Autobots will not stop me from leaving their base. I will also be in daily radio contact, and my receiver will be on at all times.
I am going to take a small group, myself, Lt. Henshaw, P.O. Woolfe (Coldshot), and perhaps one other.

RE: Cobra Al-Alawi Invasion
I have just confirmed that Cobra is involved in the Al-Alawi invasion. Recon Satelitte Imagery shows what appears to be a Cobra TerrorDome being built in the SouthEasternmost part of Al-Alawi. Between our Satelitte, and the Autobot Satelitte (Which I have just confirmed they have at least one of), it is obvious that Cobra is at least involved as a supplier of the Invasion Force. However, the construction is being handled by Techno-Vipers, their Purple Uniforms are impossible to miss. *Insert two different images, one conventional Recon Sat Image, one much sharper, much more zoomed in image, with an Autobot logo in one corner*
Consider this a War-Warning, Joes. As soon as the Brass gives the orders, we will deploy to the Middle East to stop Cobra, or their puppets. All Vehicles should be spot checked, and made combat effective. All Leaves are cancelled. All personnel on leave, are recalled. All personnel are to gather their Combat gear, and be ready to board planes for deployment with one hours notice.
I will have an advanced team ready to deploy within 10 hours.
The TerrorDome appears to be 25% complete, or so, giving us less than 26 hours to take it down.

RE: Al-Alawi Intelligence report
I have speant many days watching Cobra forces, in Al-Alawi. I can confirm, for a fact, that they have captured Crown Prince Nassir Ali ibin Abassa. He is inside the Terror Drome.
I can also confirm the presence of Baroness. She arrived Thursday, July 28th, late in the afternoon.
I have been avoiding contact with Cobra Forces, as much as possible, after an encounter with a New Over Kill unit **Insert Photgraph of new Crimson Over Kill Unit, taken as he disembarks a Vector, heading for a Terror Drome in the Desert** and Interrogator. I sustained some injuries, and since than, I have made friends with a group of Kurds living in a series of caves in the Western most part of Al-Alawi. They helped me cross the border in Iraq, so that my Communications would get through. Cobra has some kind of Communications Blackout inside Al-Alawi, for all but their own forces.
I will return to Al-Alawi, as it appears Cobra is massing forces for a major push, of some kind further into Al-Alawi. The Kurds are trying to pick off lone Cobra Troops, or small bands, but Cobra has taken to patroling in Squadron Size or better. It may have something to do with me picking off a few of their teams completely, early on. Or it could just be the fact that they have enough reinforcements to upgrade their patrol sizes.
Don't take too much longer in getting here, or Cobra will be too entrenched to kick out.

RE: Al-Alawi (People's Republic of Cobra Unity) Border with Iraq, Intelligence Post-Defensive Position-Command Post
With Cobra control of Al-Alawi almost complete, and their claim to sovereignty pending in the United Nations, we need to get a dedicated facility along the Iraqi Border with Al-Alawi up and functional. The purpose of this facility would be as follows:
- . Provide Early Detection of any Cobra incursion into Iraq, or a buildup of Cobra forces along the border, in preparations for an attack. (Intelligence Post)
- . Provide eyes and ears on the ground(SIGINT), in close proximity to Cobra Forces, so that we can monitor their actions, and potentially learn of additional plans. (Intelligence Post)

Aug 25 - IC Orders[]
TO: All Joe Forces
FROM: Scarlett
RE: Flooding
Orders have come down from on high, and here they are:
The U.S.S. Flagg is to maintain its present location and duties.
Joe Naval Forces not assigned to the Flagg should begin a systematic search of the Polar Icecaps, what is left of them, for the source of the melting. Scientists agree this was too sudden for any natural cause, not to mention Megatron has taken credit for it.
Joe ground forces not assigned to the Pit, which may very well be under water in the next few days, should head to high ground, the Rockies, by preference, and prepare to strike at whatever the Navy finds. The same is true for Air Forces. All Air Assets are being transferred to Air Force Bases above the potential flood planes, and their crews shall go along.
Strike Team Alpha, currently assigned to the Pit, should be prepared for further orders, pending funding, to Iraq, to watch over the Cobra Forces in Al-Alawi. If funding comes through, we will have a base build... Otherwise, we will do so from the Mountains, with the assistance of the Kurds.
If Offut is flooded, Emergency Protocol Alpha Niner Bravo will be initiated, sealing the Pit, making it airtight, and internal Life Support Systems will be turned on. If you are trapped inside the Pit when this happens, be prepared for a long term confinement. If you will not be able to handle this, you need to see me immediately, to get orders to deploy to the Flagg, or to one of the other teams.

Sept 19 - IC Report: The Pit Flooded[]
TO: All Joe Forces
FROM: Scarlett
RE: Flooding
All forces inside the Pit are now trapped. The flooding above us has reached the 5 foot mark, and any attempt to unseal the Pit will lead to flooding the entire place. If there is an emergancy, the underground escape pods can be used, but only for medical emergancies that the Medical Bay is not able to handle. For now, we are out of the fight, unless we are ordered to abandon the Pit.

Sept 22 - IC Report: North Pole Ice Cap[]

FROM: Scarlett
RE: North Pole Ice Cap
Satelitte Imaging indicated a Cobra Sea Ray flying over the North Pole, and the Pit Motor Pool Camera showed a S.H.A.R.C. that had just had repairs completed upon it. I used the Main Lift as an airlock, an swam to the S.H.A.R.C. and used it to investigate the Northern Ice Cap. I found no indication of the Sea Ray, but it appears Cobra is interested in the Ice Caps. We should run Recon Runs, in Force, over and under both ice caps, and see if we can learn anything.

FROM: Scarlett
RE: Upcoming Mission
All Joes, especially the Naval and Air Operations divisions, shall be on High Alert. We have an upcoming mission, that will involve us working with Cobra to destroy one of the sources of the flooding causing so much difficulty to the planet.
No. I do not trust Cobra any further than I could throw a Mauler, but these orders have come down from the VERY top. However, whatever forces go in with Cobra's strike team will be backed by a strike team of our own, ready to pull them out of the fire, if Cobra gets any funny ideas, after the fact.
Any one that can make it to the Flagg, or any of our remote air fields should begin making their way there, this mission will go off with little warning.

I took a SHARC, along with Major Bludd, and recon'ed the South Pole, looking for a Facility along the lines of the one at the North Pole. We struck paydirt. I gave Major Bludd a copy of the Raw Data for Cobra Techs to Analyze, and a copy is attached to this as well, for anyone that needs it. I have Mainframe and Dialtone working their crews as hard as possible to analyze the data. Major Bludd and I will compare what both sides gleam for the Raw input as soon as the Analysis is complete.
We will have another facility to take down, after we handle the one at the North Pole.

FROM: Sergeant Major Shana M. ' Scarlett ' O'Hara
RE: After Action Report for Action Dated: 09 November 2011, 2100 EST
I was speaking to Mr. Witwicky, Air Raid and Cuffs on the Flight Deck of the Flagg, and secured a promise of at least 20 Autobots to assist in the raid against the North Pole Facility, along with some Cybertronian explosives for the Demolitions teams to use in their mission. Shortly after Mr. Witwicky retired for the evening, and Air Raid went off to do... Whatever it is, that Cybertronians do when they are not busy, I continued to speak to Cuffs for a few minutes, about some underwater training missions in combination with the Joes and the Cobra Agents currently on the Flagg, when the Flagg's Radar picked up an Unknown Contact. The Alert Fighters had no pilots ready, so I took one, and went to investigate, while the Flagg prepared to scramble more fighter jets.
The unknown craft was Cybertronian in origin, and had Decepticon markings. I ordered it to turn away from the Flagg, and when it refused, by opening fire, a battle ensued. A battle in which, I was shot down, and my F-35B Lightining II was destroyed. I was forced to eject 50 miles out from the Flagg, but Cuffs was able to drive the Decepticon Tetrajet off. He might be able to tell us the name of the Decepticon in question, if anyone wants to know it's name.
I was picked up after 10 minutes, 3 of which I spent in the water. I have been informed my core temperature dropped at least 5 degrees, and that I am suffering the afteraffects of Hyperthermia. I am restricted to the Infirmary on the Flagg for the next 12-24 hours for observation.

TO: ALL JOES, PotUS
FROM: Sergeant Major Shana M. 'Scarlett' O'Hara
RE: After Action Report - Antarctica Assault
In the last 24 Hours the Combined forces of the Joes, Cobra and the Autobots have assaulted the Decepticon Facilities at the North and South Poles. In both cases the Facilities were destroyed.
In the North, the Flagg and Cobra Kingsnake were able to gain complete surprise over the Decepticon facility. Our Diving Teams were able to sneak in and blow up the facility, and our losses were minor. We lost a total of 20 jets, 30 more were damaged in one form or another. We lost 15 helicopters, 20 more damaged. Total Casualties were light up north. We had 15 killed, and 275 injured in one form or another. Some injuries were Hypothermia, but most came from falling debris hitting the Deck of the Flagg.
At the South Pole, however, we lost 50 jets, with another 60 damaged. No Helicopters were involved. We did have ground forces involved, and they took a heavy cost from Megatron's Revenge, after the Installation was Destroyed. We sent in 50 Snow Cats, 20 Maulers, and 10 Equalizers; all were destroyed or abandoned. Casualty numbers there were much higher as well. 200 dead, 400 wounded. All have been evacuated to other bases.
All Joes are to be commended, and as soon as possible, a memorial service will be held for our fallen comrades.

The Isrealis have just delivered 5 XP-21F, Skystriker Mk II's, the first of the 20 we have been promised, for our testing. There are only five of these things, so I am sure the Command Group would prefer we try to keep them in one piece, at least as best we can. As such, only qualified Jet Pilots are authorized to fly them. You will need to sign them out, so that if they are damaged, Ace will know who to yell at...
These Skystrikers are more heavily armed than the old Skystrikers, with a Loadout of two 30 mm Cannons, compared to One 50 mm Cannon, 2 Shrike Air to Air Missiles, 2 Sidewinder Air to Air Missiles, 2 Phoenix Air to Air or Air to Ground Missiles, 2 Maverick Air to Ground Missiles, and 1 Variable Load Bomb, Compared to 2 Sparrow AAMs, 2 Sidewinder AAMs, and 2 Phoenix AAM/AGMs.

RE: Africa Command Base - Germany (AAR)
Last night the Africa Command base was attacked. I recognized one of the attackers as Artemis, but she was not wearing anything resembling a badge of Cobra. Instead she yelled something about the Red Shadows. I have attached a picture of the Red Shadow symbol she was wearing, and I am tasking the Joe Intelligence Group to find out whatever can be found out about the Red Shadows. Raven was injured fairly badly, Temera was only mildly injured, but Steel-Brigadier 910 is in serious condition.
I am still awaiting reports from the Base Commander as to his losses, but they appeared severe.
Recommend immediate influx of Joe Personnel to replace the Base Staff. Especially if this Red Shadows business is just a front for Cobra, and with Artemis leading last night's attack, I feel there is a chance the Red Shadows are related to Cobra.

RE: Iraq Base
I went to Iraq on 8/8/2012, around 17:00 hours, to assist with the final stages of the Prefabricated Base we were building. Not long after I arrived, Cobra launched an attack. First a Mamba, than a Sea Ray. We fought them off, with the base taking minor, repairable damage. The Mamba escaped, but the Sea Ray was destroyed. It's pilot, I fought as they tried to escape back into Al-Alawi. However, I took a Spear-gun Spear through the leg, nicking my femoral artery, or so the medics tell me, and was unable to capture him.
A flight of Cobra Rattlers were than dispatched, and they bombed the base. The damage was so severe, that there is no reason to attempt to repair it. We'll need to start over.
I was airlifted to the Flagg, and after stabilization, I was taken to the Pit.
I heard Cobra's faked news report, and at no time did I, or anyone else on the team, cross into Al-Alawi.

I have been hearing good things from Slaughter, Beach-Head, and the other trainers, and the Kurds are ready to launch a massive strike on the Al-Alawi Oil Refinery. It is heavily guarded, with a Terrordrome on site, but the Kurdish Leadership wants to make a statement assault. I will be leading the assault soon, in my disguise as Ebony. We will be using the 4 HISS Tanks that have been turned over to the Kurds, along with all the trained fighters.
The Plan is fairly simple, but it has wrinkles in it.
Two of the Kurd Squads will launch simultaneous assaults on a Water Filtration and Purification Faculty, and on the Cobra Hangars in Crown City.
The rest of the force will be pre-positioned near the Oil Refinery, and as soon as any response is made, we will attack, if no response is made, it will be up to the onsite leadership, including myself, to decide if the attack should go forward.
If there are any suggestions from Command about the raid, we will need the input shortly.

I responded to the call over the EARTH DEFENSE COMMAND frequency, as I was flying in Skystriker II #3140, on a routine C-A-P over the Pacific Ocean, and I was just crossing the Sea of Japan. Starscream, Valour, and an unidentified Decepticon were there in a Shuttle. Jetfire, Slingshot, and Silverbolt responded from the Autobots. We engaged the Decepticons, and were able to drive them off, without them being able to collect much, if any Steel from the Facility. The Skystriker sustained minor damage, and I was uninjured.

I have been cleared to return to Full Active Duty, and I have resumed my duties. As such, my first report is on what would appear to be the drawdown of personnel at the Mount Carmel location of the Church of the Coiled Serpent. I have had a Recon Sat. tasked to keep an eye on the place, since it was opened, especially consideing one of the members appears to be the Cobra Operative, Artemis. However, Artemis is not on site, and has not been for a week, at least. Thermal Imaging shows that only half the staff is left on site, and that has been slowly dropping to an even smaller number on a daily basis.
My analysis of the situation is mixed. Either they are abandoning the Church, which without our intervention seems unlikely, or Cobra has a use for their operatives (As I have suspected from the begining that this Church was just a front for Cobra Activity) else where.
I will try to ascertain the locations of where the known Cobra Operatives have been relocated to, but as yet, Artemis has not shown up anywhere in the World that I can find, and Customs does not show her leaving the country, at least not by legal means.

Message: The woman who calls herself Villetta Rose claims to be from Iowa and attending university. She was located during an alien shuttle launch featuring a group of potatoes departing the system by unknown spaceship after a skirmish between our forces and potatoes in England. The potatoes were reported taking a number of inanimate ones with them and were tracked to a shuttle.
Since her retrieval, Villette has no official records in any database. She does not register as human according to any tests that can be done, nor is her genetic material on file or comparable to any human or alien beings on file. She has given a story of being a 'normal' person in her claimed hometown which she appears to believe with total sincerity.
Initial genetic analysis suggests she's not human, although what she actually is has still not been determined. She has no blood pressure and Doc was unable to find a vein. She's maintained her story under questioning, even after setting off Doc's alien scanner, unlike the Dire Wraiths we'd encountered before. However, her imperfect genetics set her apart from Mindbender's clones and resurrections, which would have passed much more rigorous examination.
Currently she is in a containment and isolation room in the brig while Doc is doing followup genetic tests comparing her genetic material to potatoes, particularly the animate ones, and failing any genetic material sequencing the tests will be expanded to other non-humanoid genetic sequences.
She is to be monitored and kept in quarantine until further orders are given.

Subject appeared nonchalant but worried. No tells available in behavior nor grief but surprise. Possibility that subject is mentally exhausted and so no great distress.
Individual appears to fully be able to maintain presence as human. Has functional memories, behaviors. Background appears fully fleshed out in head based upon discussions. Subject has minor recollections of unimportant events, no major dissassociative episodes from holes in programming. Normally small details lead to mental errors and disruption of programming.
According to Doc, subject is genetically stable, discussions have shown no signs of disorientation and agitation beyond what is to be expected given state of normal human. Individual is -very- adept at appearance of normality. If was not aware she was artificial life form, she might almost engender distress at seeing her incarcerated for extended period and worry at violation of prisoner protocols.

PVT Nakmura was the one that placed the training demo pack on the tank. Upon inspection she was found to have live packs on her. Given the strict separation and marking of all live field packs and training ones, all equipment used in the exercise is to be put through immediate inspection. All vehicles, weapons, rounds, packs, supplies, uniforms are to be checked manually and cross referenced against inventory by hand. Private Nakamura is restricted to barracks pending a full investigation.
A full audit of all munitions, stores, vehicles, assets at base is to be done under the coordination of Battleaxe.

A rapid response team lead by General Hawk consisting of myself, Poise, Cookie, Wet Down, and Mara engaged them in sea and aerospace units. The Cybertronians exchanged insults and threats along public access channels. They were clearly seeking a fight. Upon engagement they attempted to sink the cruise liner, calling up a fourth undersea ally to try and cripple it.
They were driven off by heavy firepower and retreated. Rather than pursuing the team engaged in rescue operations of the Aoi Sangosho. The Cybertronians did not attempt to engage again. Request that combat profiles be worked up on them for future engagements /and/ we ask the Autobots while they're not holding up their end of their treaty obligations.

Jun 01 - Arashikage Temple Alien[]
To: General Personnel/Restricted Access
Subj: Alien Infiltrators
Msg: Myself and Snake-Eyes located a dormant Arashikage Temple in the mountainous areas of Japan that had gone active. We infiltrated finding that there was an individual training (Picture Link upload of Shadow Strike) thought to be a Cobra associate. When engaged, he lead the trainees in a counter attack but was badly injured.
At that point an unknown Cybertronian (picture tag of Stardrive)
appeared along with an old man. The Cybertronian identified herself as 'Queen'. The old man joined in the melee, a few moments later revealing himself to be some sort of alien biological entity scaled to cybertronian standards (Pic of Vekktral in Dire Wraith form).
The alien infiltrator transformed at the same time from injuries (tag of D'Rge in Dire Wraith form).
Claiming the 'Queen' was an usurper as the 'Queen' (pic tag Stardrive) said he could surrender and rejoin or be destroyed. While the infiltration team threatened the Cybertronian, her sycophant attacked but was driven off (picture tag of Vekktral fleeing along with D'Rge). The original alien infiltrator also fled in the engagement, and the 'Queen' wandered off.
I am not familiar with the individuals in question nor their species. Given the use of 'Queen' I would presume a hierarchical dynamic. Usurper would indicate that she recently took over power in some way and is clamping down on dissenters, possibly indicative of a need to suppress resistance or out of personal revenge.
The Temple was damaged in the melee but stable. We have a large number of trainees, none of which survived. A very large number of booby traps which teams are to be on alert and disassemble carefully, any Ninja Force team members are to be present for this. Varying amounts of alien bio (or mechanical) fluids for analysis. Snake-Eyes will be doing a sweep of the Temple given his familiarity and will be looking for any indicators that the infiltrator may have left technology or other items behind in the Temple since he had to cut and run. So the followup teams should go through every centimeter of it with a Ninja Force member present or someone fluent with the Arashikagi combat styles. It's going to be a long cleanup Joes. Let's figure out who these -things- were and what sort of threat we're dealing with here.
Personal Addendum: Bugs are still better than potatoes. But don't ask Cookie to come up with recipes for this one. Also, X-COM is to be taken out of the rec room's game stations if I hear any jokes.
Jun 30 - Encounter[]
To: Ninja Force/Intel
Msg: While myself and Snake-Eyes were at the Arakashi Temple that had been infiltrated (OOC - By the Dire Wraiths) a pair of siblings came in (picture - tag Katana and Wakizashi attached). They were members of the clan/stayed there for training and did not seem related to the aliens that had taken over the Temple. Upon being shown holographic footage of the infiltration they believed it. The male spoke something of a 'Daisho' that needed to be completed in short order (request followup for Intelligence to pursue leads for, using identity of two individuals to narrow search). Both displayed poor operational security and focused more upon teasing one another than their environs. This would mark them as primarily civilians or trainees to the Clan and that did not have an extensive/if any amount of field combat experience.

Cyborg Vs. Another Ninja - Artemis is in Mexico, and Scarlett is tracking her!
Aug 09 - Shooter[]
To: All Joes
From: Scarlett
Subj: Joker of Spades Shooter
Msg: Was tracking the 'Joker of Spades Assassin', aka Artemis, sniper affiliated with Cobra (see appropriate files) that was targeting a cartel leader in the Mexican desert. Artemis was able to shoot the cartel leader while he was inside his residence and before I could intercept. Maneuvered to engage her.
Target stated that she was pursuing this as a personal vendetta, out for revenge, and not doing so under the auspices of Cobra. She seemed less professional than she normally was noted to be, which lends some credibility, possibly.
Engaged Artemis, and moderately injured her but she was able to escape. Shooter abandoned her rifle, it was recovered at scene.
Artemis remains at large and this is far from the last of her targets.

I received a message along my personal secure network giving coordinates in Alaska. Upon going there I ran into my.. Alternate self from the separate reality where things were darker and inverted that we had encountered before. She was somehow stuck in this place, or at least she said she was and was looking to 'maintain' a living. We attempted to come to an agreement where we would put limitations on her behavior and keep watch on her but she would be left to her own devices so long as she obeyed the.. Rather restrictive conditions (to her).
- When she disagreed I went to engage her and she defeated me with extreme ease. However, she was not attempting to.. Kill me at all and I was left with only moderate injuries, and she could have killed me at any point when I was unconscious. She put in a call for medevac for me. Current whereabouts unknown. Current goals unknown. I failed and she is currently gone to ground.

Oct 20 - Swamp Patrol[]
To: Joe Personnel/Nebulos Team
Subj: Swamp Sweep
Msg: In a nearby swamp to our command structure we detected a large deposit of metal on passive sensors. Unable to get a more exact positioning, a number of foot patrols were sent out with metal detectors. A team consisting of myself, Ambassador Witwicky (in case we came into contact with the locals), Sinatra and the Rats (for sweeping), myself (command), Jinx and Temera (for escort), and Sci-Fi (for analysis) swept around. We were able to pinpoint a deposit of metal which seemed to mass approximately as much as a large vehicle or weapons platform, exact type unknown buried deep in the swamp. It matches what we know of local Nebulan alloys. Exact status of vehicle scaled is unknown due to depth of it's burial.
- Also at least three shells were located. Ambassador Witwicky said they were scaled approximately to the level of Cybertronian exo-suits and I defer to his expertise. At this point we could not tell if they were drones, humanoids in armor, robots, or other. There were possibly more present. No explosives or active power generation was picked up in the sweep though given we were limited to a visual examination (and in the case of the rats, scent) this may not mean much. I made the decision to withdraw at this point given it was clearly more in depth than a recon for possible salvage and we have insufficient information. We withdrew back to rendezvous point. Some information was taken in (see Ambassador Witwicky's attached photos and Sci-Fi's sensor scans). Position marked on the map and no signs in the area were of HIVE Patrols or local flora and fauna of a hostile nature.
Oct 27 - Resistance Operative[]
To: Nebulos Team
Msg: Resistance Operative
Msg: A possible location for a resistance base on Nebulos was located and General Hawk lead a patrol team out to an area that was a blocked off cliff range. A demo team lead by Sinatra was able to effect a partial collapse in it which gave sufficient access to locate an operative of the resistance (tag: Outrider) who was moderately injured and had been buried for multiple months. The area is thick in mercury and highly toxic so is not suited for ongoing operations.
According to the Operative (that served primarily as a courier) much of the Resistance had been swept up by the Hive and is held prisoner. We know of at least one Hive prison that the operative has stated a large number are being held at that we have a firm location of. The team has taken the operative back to base for medical treatment and a more extensive debriefing.
The status of the Crusader is poor, with not a highly stable orbit. A landing is required or parts to take for repairs. Details are being determined for what our course of operation will be. As well as for the prisoner aboard her. The General will give us marching orders soon, Joes. Maintain readiness.

Feb 05 - IC Report[]
TO: All Joes
FROM: Sergeant Major Shana M. "Scarlett" O'Hara
RE: Personnel Records
I am getting with Hacker on the compromised records. I have already sent Greenshirt Teams out to cover some of the more High Profile member's family. However, if the attack on Sci-Fi's parents was a result of the records being stolen, I would not have expected his, to be the first target. So to combat this, I have sent a warning to all local Law Enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for Cobra in their area. I have informed the agencies where close family of a Joe lives, of what to be looking for, and where they might want to concentrate a little extra protection.
Some family members, I am not overly concerned with. My brothers, for example, or Marissa Faireborn. If anyone of you think your family might need extra protection, inform me quickly, and I will see if I can get them better security.
I have also had an idea, that if we could get them somewhere together, like a resort vacation area, we could protect them better, in a group, than with small packets of Greenshirts.
I have also alerted Falcon, and the Alpha Strike Team, to be ready to respond, should we get any kind of warning from the LEO's (Local Law Enforcement) that any Joe Family member might be in danger. There will be a Strike Team Element ready to move, via Plane or Helicopter, to any location in the United States, and can leave within minutes.
I am efforting to discover, along with Hacker's help, exactly what information from the personnel files were taken, as reviewing the time involved in the theft, Hacker does not believe that Cobra could have gotten everything in them. If we can narrow down, we can limit the damage they could potentially do.
One final note. If I can get Hacker to get me a location of those files, I will want Strike Teams Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie on Alert. We will be staging a mission to knock those files out, one way or another. In addition to the Strike Team members, I will want a Wing of Fighter Jets, a couple Bomb Experts, and at least two Computer Specialists to join the assault. This should allow us the ability to destroy the records, whether we do it physically, or via deleting and shredding the files electronically.
I will not rest until the situation is solved.

Feb. 7 - A Call to Action[]
Scarlett gets some bad news, and runs to the person she trusts most.
Feb 07 - RE: Cobra Attack[]
Another attack on the Pit is a fear I share. I am wondering if we are putting all of our proverbial eggs in one basket. Having a backup, in Fort Wadsworth's Pit might help, but that location is not unknown to Cobra.
I am wondering if we shouldn't go with a wider disbursement. The concept of the Pit, created in the 1980's has not allowed for advancements in technology. With Cobra in Space, they can monitor Joe Vehicles returning to any central location.
Perhaps what we should do, is consider either a mobile Headquarters, or disperse the teams based on Geographical terms. We can place out Air Wing, the plane section, anyways, anywhere in the United States, and have a fairly quick reaction time. I can work out a dispersal plan, once we have come up with a series of locations to send them to. I would likely break it down into Strike Team Elements, with Armor, Helicopter, and various other assets also deployed with the Strike Teams. We have enough Joes to create a few more strike teams, beyond: Alpha, Bravo and Charlie. We'd easily have enough elements to add in Delta, Echo, and at least Foxtrot. If Hawk, Flint, and Duke would like, I will work out the exact breakdown of the Strike Teams, with also locations for Star Brigade, Ninja Force, and other Sub-Teams as well.
Scarlett
Feb. 8 - "One Step Closer"[]
Scarlett and Snake-Eyes get one step closer to finding her brother.
Feb 09 - Disbursement Plans[]
Here are some ideas I had, about how to disperse the Strike Teams, and the Air Assets.
Over Seas Teams will remain as already dispersed.
U.S. Based Air Assets, other than a small wing of Helicopters and Jets with each Strike team should be sent to one of the following AFB's: Edwards Air Force Base in California, Andrews AFB in Maryland, or Barskdale AFB in Louisiana. Naval Forces to be deployed to various Naval Facilities. Evenly split Atlantic and Pacific Ocean Bases.
- Strike Teams
I see this breaking down as follows for each team, of which we have enough staff and personnel to actually create 5, instead of the three we currently have.
Command Element: Falcon, Beachhead, Gung-Ho, Stalker, Scarlett
Strike Team Leaders: Airborne, Lowdown, Recondo, Snow Job, and RoadBlock.
Pilots assigned to Strike Teams: Lift-Ticket, Wraith, Wisp, Slip-Stream, and others as they become available.
Star Brigade would, once Space Station Delta is repaired, be stationed on Space Station Delta.
Ninja Force would be placed wherever needed, and operate out of a location along with a Strike Team.
Strike Team Base of Operations: Camp Lajune, Fort Leavenworth Kansas, Fort Wainwright Alaska, Fort Irwin California, Fort Wadsworth New Jersey.
These are just rough plans. Nothing would be set in stone.
Under these plans, G.I. Joe Command would go to which ever location they thought best.
If, in the future, we wanted to reunite the teams, we would need to consider where to put a base, that would be easily defensible, and not easily located. So far, every Pit we have used, has ended up compromised in one way or another.
Feb 09 - Addendum[]
Note: As an alternative to Disbursement, we could consolidate all forces in one location, except for small teams, that way, our Headquarters always has a strong defense force. We would need a bigger base, and we would have to be more covert about where we launched aircraft and spacecraft from. I might suggest building something near the Grand Canyon. It is deep enough to not get a lot of satellite penetration.

RE: Baroness Activity

It seems odd to me, but I am getting reports of sightings of the Baroness in the general area of the Pit. First she was spotted near Autobot city, meeting in a coffee shop with None other than Spike. This meeting was in the past week, and my informant can not answer any questions about the contents of their discussion.
Than, just a few nights later, I get a report from Concealer, that someone matching the Baroness' description was in that bar, Hamburger Mary's. She wasn't doing anything, from what I could tell, but Concealer was able to discover that she is acting as a consultant for NASA. If this is the Baroness, and she is really acting as a consultant for NASA, we do need to discover where she is, what she is doing. From all indications, if it was Baroness, Concealer did not give away the fact that she is a Joe. I would suggest that we encourage Concealer to contact this woman, and try to work on getting more information from her.
Concealer, contact this Ana Cisarov, and see if you can learn more. Discreetly, of course. Do not let her figure out you are a Joe.

TO: All Joes
FROM: Sergeant Major Shana M. "Scarlett" O'Hara
RE: Broca Beach After Action Report
Earlier this evening, I entered Broca Beach, with two small Greenshirt Teams. Based on Intelligence I had gathered, I was certain my Brother was there, in Broca somewhere. The two most likely spots were the Medical Center and an Arcade.
The Arcade was covered by one of the Greenshirt teams, and in the end, they took too many casualties to get inside. When so ordered, they withdrew to the Medical Center, for Exfiltration.
My team was responsible for the Medical Center, as I had it pegged as the most likely location for Joe to be held.
As I approached, I encountered Zarana, disguised as a homeless person. She convinced me she was injured, and I helped her into the Medical Center. She tried to stall me, for what I presume was an ambush. However, I was able to get a jump on her, called in my back up, and we engaged Cobra Forces in the medical center. Most of them did not survive the encounter. I am unsure if Zarana survived, but I did put a sword through her, a few times.
Once the Lobby was secure, I moved into the stairwell, and located an entrance, in the Morgue, to an underground medical facility.
Joe was there. He was guarded by a pair of Crimson Guardsmen. I killed one, quickly, the other shot him, at least three times. That Guard is dead now too.
We all exfiltrated, via the roof of the Medical Center, and an Osprey flown by Wraith.
Joe is in the Pit's Medical Center, and I have asked Lifeline to take care of him. He is in serious condition, and I can only hope Lifeline can save his life.

I have been, via satellite, monitoring Broca Beach. There would appear to be a lot of traffic out of the Town. Multiple Semi-Trailer loads left from various points in the city, to move to a freighter in New York Harbor. The Freighter is listed as Frusenland Trading Vessel Umfangreich, which translates to Extensive.
Unsurprisingly, this Vessel's next destination is Kuwait, Al Jarah's port to be exact, which is just 100 miles to Cobra Unity.
Also, many busloads of people have left Broca, heading towards different Airports in the area.
I believe this shows that Cobra is pulling out. If we intend to strike, we should do so soon.
I want Strike Teams Alpha and Bravo ready to move, as soon as orders come through.

- Arbco.
- There is a Train Company, a Circus, a Delivery Company, and many more with this name.
- Broca
- Other than Broca Beach, there are about 100 businesses with this name, most of them centered around Broca Beach
- Arboc
- There is a few small businesses with this name, near Millville, and also near Springfield, which is why this one popped out. However, as Hacker pointer out, Arboc is also the name of a Pokemon.... Whatever that is.
- Braco
- In Kuwait, there is a BRACO Shipping.
There are more, and I am going to have to have someone working on pulling records and company rosters on the above listed, and some unlisted companies, to see if we can eliminate any of them.
For now, I would avoid doing any business with a company on the list.

RE: Teatime Training
I have taken several days to consider the message sent by Concealer. I have delayed responding to her thoughts to ensure I am not allowing personal feelings to cloud my judgement, as my likely first response is that such a message should be considered a trap. However, upon much thought, it is just possible that if the message was intentional, it could be a genuine request for G.I. Joe to assist Storm Shadow in breaking free of Cobra Control.
If it was an intentional message, and until proven otherwise, we have to assume it is, than I would suggest Snake-Eyes or myself to be the one to approach Storm Shadow. We are the two most likely to survive any trap that Storm Shadow might spring, but we, along with Stalker and Jinx, also have known him longer than any other Joes. While I am not fully convinced that Storm Shadow's message is genuine, we do need to treat it as such. For the very real reason that breaking Storm Shadow free from Cobra would make hunting down Cobra High Command that much easier.
I am open to discussing this in person, should the need arise. I will await Command Decision before implementing any engagement of Storm Shadow on this issue.

FROM: Sergeant Major Shana 'Scarlett' O'Hara
RE: Possible Nuclear Threat
On the evening of the 19th of April 2023, Agent Morrison called for assistance, as the mission he was on was threatened by Cobra. I have few details on the mission, only knowing it was in Borovia, and that Cobra interrupted it. We lost contact with Agent Morrison, but before we did, he stated his belief that there was a nuclear bent to the mission. I asked Q Force and Daina of the Oktober Guard to send assistance, and Q Force did respond, sending a team to the area Agent Morrison gave. I have heard nothing back from Q-Force, or Agent Morrison, and at this time, he is presumed missing, captured, or so far undercover, he can not respond. I have had no response, as of yet, for my back channel request for assistance from the Oktober Guard, and at this time, I doubt Daina will respond.
I think we need to get Eco-Force, and especially Airtight, ready to respond to a possible Nuclear Incident, especially if Cobra has gotten their hands on a Nuclear Device.
I pray Morrison is incorrect in his assumption, but I fear he isn't.

RE: Intelligence Gathered in Turkey
After the rescue mission on the 26th of April, I stayed behind in Turkey. I spent 48 hours trying to track down information on who might have been responsible for the attack on the base there. I learned very little.
I do not think more time in country would have garnered more Intelligence. I can sum up what I learned in one sentence.
A Paramilitary unit of some kind attacked the base, and none of the locals saw any vehicle or personnel with a Cobra Logo.
On my way back from Turkey, I stopped in San Francisco, to check in with a known Cobra Operative, Storm Shadow, to see if he would tell me if Cobra, more specifically, if he was involved in the attack, and he claims he was not involved. While I cannot verify this, I tend to believe him.
So for now, I must classify the attack as having been made by forces: UNKNOWN
At this time, I am going to bury myself in Intelligence reports, and see if we had any hint of a potential threat. I will also be taking on, at least temporarily, some of the paperwork that normally was completed by Battleaxe.

This perhaps explains why I have been unable to contact Daina, of the Oktober Guard. I am running a search on General Kreiger, to put together a background file on him. I've heard many things about him, but I want to verify what I think I know, before I write up a full report.

Sometime after Storm Shadow was killed, last night, Kamakura was captured by forces unknown. Greathawk and I discovered some clues in an alleyway. A Throwing Knife, a Bloodied Shuriken, and finally, Kamakura's costume he wore to the convention, along with the helmet he was wearing, and his Comm System.
After no one had reported hearing from kamakura, I was able to trace his Communications Device to this Alleyway. *Inserted Coordinates for an Alley about 2 blocks from the Pasadena Convention Center*
Greathawk and I investigated, and all signs indicate Kamakura was taken by someone. I need or Computer experts to get us all Street Camera footage of the area, any Footage that shows anything entering or leaving that alley.
I must assume this is related to the murder of Storm Shadow, as reports indicate that Kamakura was chasing the murderer. I am declaring Kamakura Missing in Action.
Joes! We have a missing teammate. I respect everyone to do anything in their power to help locate him.

FROM: Security Officer Hama
Greathawk requested, for some reason, a squad of MPs to the corridor outside the lift on level 4. Armed with Electrical Stun Guns.
I and my squad responded, only to find nothing. We were than rerouted by a Security Officer to the Medical Facility, where Lifeline had just sedating Greathawk, and Scarlett was in a medical bed.
Until further notice, I am having my team shut down access to Medical to all non-medical or command personnel. Temporary Medical facilities will be offered in the Mess Hall, on a case by case basis.

From Medical Greenshirt 6817 (Atkins)
Scarlett has been admitted to Medical for Concussion Protocol. That is all I know at this time. I am not sure how she got the concussion, but she shows all the signs, and we are observing her for now.

RE: Turkyie Base Attack Intelligence
During the morning on 5-16-2023, I was contacted by one of my Intelligence Field contacts, about a potential lead on the PMC that committed the attack on the base in Turkyie, that killed some of our own.
This contact led me to the Monolith Financial Corporation, in Eiringen, Switzerland. I infiltrated this building and got to the Computer Servers. Using a bank account provided by my Intelligence Contact, I have discovered a Company we need to investigate. Ground Zeroes LTD. I am not yet certain if they are the ones who paid the PMC, or the PMC themselves. I would like our Computer experts to find every scrape of information on that company.
This has gotten us another step closer to finding the scum that killed our friends and bringing them to Justice.

RE: Selena Greathawk
With the evidence pointing directly away from Contractor Selena Greathawk, regarding the Cell Phone that sent Cobra a massage, I am ordering her release from the Brig. This should have happened as soon as the evidence led us in a different direction, and it was a slight oversight.
As such, Selena Greathawk has had her privledges returned, and is free to move about as she see fit.
I have also extended an apology to her, on behalf of Command, for the slow release.

I have arrived at the Deep Black base, to use it as a staging ground to locate this 'Skullface' lead. I would like to set up a Quick Reaction Force (QRF) that can sweep in and capture the target, once he is located. For this we will need:
1 Transport Helicopter (Eaglehawk by Preference, although a Blackhawk will work)
1 Team of 6 members to ride in on the Chopper, and secure the Prisoner.
1 of the team should have EMT/Medical training
I am looking for volunteers to be on the QRF.
Let me know if you wish to be assigned to the QRF.

RE: Tomas Arashikage, or Storm Shadow
From certain things I read, I decide it was best to put off Pakistan, temporarily, and investigate something else. Tomas Arashikage and Thomas Arashikage are the same person, somehow. I confronted him in San Fransico, and after prolonged conversation, he begged me to kill him.
I agreed to do so, as he wished it to protect his family. However, instead of killing him, I knocked him out, and brought him back to the Pit. He is currently in Medical, under HEAVY guard.
He is to be treated for his head wound, from me hitting him in the head with the pommel of my katana to knock him. He is then to be moved to the Brig, and Lifeline and Psyche-Out will hopefully be better able to make sense of the situation.
I do request Ninja Force be on hand to help keep an eye on Storm Shadow, and to take turns guarding him closely. At least until things are clearer.

RE: Dreadnok Activity in Nebraska
As some may know, I own a Home on the Platte River in Gretna, Nebraska. I left the Pit to head there, as it is time for late Summer Maintenance there. This was supposed to be a few days off from worrying about Cobra, Ninjas, or Private Military Companies. However, it would appear that Cobra had other plans, or at the very least, the Dreadnoks did. Not long after I had gotten there, Zarana showed up and launched an RPG round at me, destroying my car (Which inside had my issued laptop, and a few weapons issued to me, the most important being one of the XK-1 Power Crossbows I use).
I am not sure if she knew I was going to be there, but after investigation, many explosives were found buried around the property, so I must hypothesize that she was there to plant traps for me. This is another example of why the Security breach that occurred when Cobra infiltrated the Pit, and stole some of our personnel records, could be so costly.
After Zarana destroyed my car, from which I was barely able to escape, we engaged in combat. I sustained only minor injuries, a blow to the shoulder, and a slash on my arm from her razor sharp knife. She however, was forced to retreat, after I shot her, stabbed her a few times, and engaged in hand to hand combat with her. She escaped by using a smoke grenade to lay down cover for herself.
After she escaped, I called the Local Law Enforcement Agency, and they sent out an Officer to take a report. I then spent the weekend interacting with the ATF Bomb Disposal Unit, and Homeland Security's Counter-Terrorism Unit.
I have convinced Homeland Security to allow the Joes to handle the matter, as the attacker was Cobra, or at least, Cobra Funded.
I urge all the Joes to be vigilant when going home, and to continue to keep a close eye on family.

RE: Potential Recruit?
I am having trouble believing I am about to suggest this, but, with the recent change to Storm Shadow's mental faculties, and the fact that the body his mind is in, is not that of the Original Thomas Arashikage, I am contemplating the potential of recruiting Storm Shadow, A.K.A. Tomas Arashikage, into the G.I. Joe team.
Before anyone asks, no I have not been replaced with a Synthoid, a Clone, or some other imposter. I know I have been one of the people most against any reconciliation with Storm Shadow; however, he could be a great asset to the Joes. In terms of Intelligence he can provide on Cobra, the knowledge he has of Cobra tactics and High Command's thinking patterns, and he is a dangerous fighter. He is no longer under the control of Cobra's Brainwave Scanner. He was a Joe before, and only went back to Cobra because of the Mind Control.
I have not discussed this idea with him, as I am not willing to do that, without at least a primliminary approval of Hawk. However, I think it is something that should be discussed.

RE: Cobra Chernobyl Incursion
On the evening of October 11, 2023, myself, Chameleon, and Greathawk were in the Czech Republic, to restablish contact with Daina Janack. While meeting with her, I recieved several reports from sources in the area, that Cobra was doing something in Ukraine, in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. I was able to convince Daina to provide us a Helicopter to get to the area, and investigate, along with permision from Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine to enter their air space.
When we arrived, we discovered a large force of Cobra operating in the Exclusion Zone. I landed us in a parking lot, so we could investigate fuirther, and a Greenshirt Company was called in, from a Base in Poland. We engaged Cobra, driving off a force of Barghest, Metal-Head, Zarana, and Interrogator, along with their support crew of B.A.T.'s and various styles of Vipers. Injuries on our side were mostly minor. We are not sure why Cobra was there, and I am asking Daina to look into things on that side of the world.
The reason I have made sure to bring this to the Attention of Medical, is that Chameleon, Greathawk, and I have all been exposed to whatever Radiation is in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, although I did ensure we all took the Standard Anti-Radiation Pills. It is likely we will need to be monitored by Medical for at least a little bit. I have instructed the medical team at the Greenshirt Staging Area to do what is neccesary for the Greenshirt Company that joined us.
I must also add, the interest Cobra has in Nuclear Disaster or Nuclear Testing sites is concerning. Chernobyl and Bikini Atoll? Why do they show such interest in these locations? If anyone in R&D can figure that out, it might give us the advantage in trying to ascertain Cobra's next potential target.

To: General Flagg
From: Scarlett
Re: Subject: ALPHA Strike Team
General,
If Duke is too busy with other duties, then I would have no reservations about filling in for him, until such a time as he is able to return to duty. If the assignment, for some reason, was to become more permanent, that is something we might have to revisit later, but that would be after your retirement. This promotion is one I have no reservations about accepting.
A Commission to become an Officer, however, I have more than a few about. It has nothing to do with my ability to do the work that would be assigned to me, but more about if I am willing to be removed from where I have worked for 40 years to get to. It has everything to do with my belief that I am in the perfect position, even with the promotion to ALPHA Strike Team Field Commander, to mentor the up-and-coming Enlisted personnel, especially the female personnel, of which there are still fewer of than male in the pipeline. It would be harder for me to do this as an Officer, I feel, than as a member of the Enlisted Ranks.
This is not something I turn down without having done a lot of thinking about, but it is something that I must, at this time, turn down.

Subject: Re: Cobra's Interest in Nuclear Sites
I have not had time to run down why Cobra was after Heavy Water, but considering it is one of the requirements of a working MASS, and they have not been using their MASS, it could be due to a lack of elemental components.
This would also explain their interest Last August in the Arctic. The Sea of Ice contains the Crystals required to run the MASS project.
The third elemental component is located inside the Misti Volcano in Peru. I am going to have to lead a team down there, and see if we can recover this Element first, and leave a team in place to stop Cobra from recovering any of the Element for themselves.
