Time: 0530. Location: Cobra Island.
"Wake the Major. He's going to want to see this."
The Viper runs to the Major's quarters.
Sebastion Bludd is sitting at his desk going over guard reports.
*Knock knock knock*
"What the bloody hell do ya want."
"Sir, you're needed in the Vault."
The disgruntled Major pushes past the Viper making his way to the high-tech room deep within the Cobra Terrordome known as the Vault due to the heavy security doors. The room is abuzz with activity. Like a beehive, each Televiper, Viper, and Siege knows his job and does it to the best of his ability. The Televipers are responsible is for receiving field intelligence as well as listening in on global communications. Every Televiper has a Viper assigned to them to act as a gopher. The Sieges ensure total security.
When the Major walks in, the Televipers at their consoles seem not to notice. In this room, no one snaps to attention when an officer walks in. It could be the moment they miss a vital piece of intelligence. That privilege is reserved only for the Commander, and he never enters the room, preferring to get his updates in the Situation Room. The Viper leads him to the Televiper who sent him off.
"What's the damn situation? Joes?"
"No, sir. It's, it's. Well, it's everyone."
"Everyone?! The Commander thought this day would come. What the bloody fuck are you waiting for? Get all Vipers to their stations. Roll the HISS tanks! Get all troops out now!"
"I don't know if that'll help, sir."
"You don't get paid to think."
"Sir, you're misunderstanding. Look at the screens."
"Move out of the way. Bloody hell! How the hell do we explain this to the Commander?"
"Explain what?"
"COMMANDER ON DECK!"
Like one being the Vipers and Sieges snap to attention. Televipers jump up from their consoles and salute the supreme leader of Cobra.
"As you were."
The Televipers return to their consoles but look in awe at their grand leader. It's a matter of moments before the hum of activity resumes.
"Explain what, Major?"
The hooded Commander peers at the monitor. What he sees at first shocks him but only momentarily. A plan forms in an instant.
"Put this on the main screen."
"Yes, Commander." The main screen comes to life the image freezes every Televiper, Viper, and Siege in their tracks.
"Men, what you see before you is the beginning of the reign of Cobra. What you see before you will set the stage for our rising. Major send out all available Medivipers and attach a company of Vipers for security and support. Make the village ready. Medical supplies, food, water. Get it all down there."
"Yes, Commander."
"The day of Cobra rule is upon us. Our triumph is now!"
All within the room respond as one. "COBRA!!!!"
