Greetings,

Thanks to a deal I struck with Nala15, an associate and supporter of CobraFanClub, I have regained my membership subscription.

Prepare to see more updates from me before my month is up. By the way, I am looking forward to seeing the results of the most recent poll I posted.

Greetings,

Several of you may have been wondering why I haven't been active here as of late. That has changed for the time being and I am able to log in on a more regular basis. However, the last three months were extremely busy for me and COBRA.

As some of you may know, I usually take an extended leave of absence during the month of August or July. Circumstances being what they were, I wasn't able to take my full leave all at once this year, so had to spread it out over the course of both months. Why? Because I'm at war, that's why.

I was in the middle of my first week of leave when I received word that a recruitment center had been attacked and destroyed. Casualties were low, but there were casualties nonetheless. While I didn't personally lead the counter attack, I did plan it and dispensed the troops needed to rectify the situation. The attack was successful. After following up with the squadron responsible and signing the paperwork needed to replenish supplies and ammo, I returned to my leave. A few days later, I received word of another attack - this time in two locations.

To make my long story a more manageable size, this went on for nearly seven weeks straight. I hired Zartan to get to the heart of the matter, and he discovered not one, not two, but an entire network of spies that had somehow wormed their way into COBRA. To clarify, they weren't physically present in our bases and fortresses, but had hacked into our computer and security networks, betraying virtually our every move to the Joes.

I became aware of this only after I was personally caught in one of the attacks. It was an airstrike on one of our island facilities. Fortunately, I was testing Destro's new shielding technology at the time, so damages were minimal. This time, I personally led the counter attack and blew the Joes out of the sky. Much to my dismay, I discovered later (thanks to Zartan) that most of the casualties were drones.

After Zartan delivered his report, I made immediate preparations to dispose of the cyber-spies and the Joes drone program. It took two long weeks, but COBRA emerged victorious! G.I. Joe will now have to start from scratch with their spy network, and their UAV program.

I took the rest of my leave immediately after I heard the good news. Now, I'm improving and upgrading my own spy network, with the Baroness and Zartan at the helm. I will also say that the M.A.S.S. device may be involved....

For the time being, I will enjoy the quiet while it lasts.
