Subteams

Cobra Intelligence Division - Department of Field Operations ; Cobra Command

The G.I. Joe Team is so predictably noble, always bellowing about justice honor and all those other annoying moral ideals.

The BARONESS is a highly intelligent and ambitious individual, and a world-class expert in cryptography, psychological warfare, and bio-chemical skin-irritants. She is full of contradictions: cynical yet romantic, calculating but naive, blunt and prone to beating around the bush. She is qualified in most small arms, including the M-16, AK-47, RPG 7, and the Uzi. She is also an experienced H.I.S.S. tank operator, and her military specialties include helicopter and fixed wing piloting. Her principle weakness is in the division of her loyalty between Cobra Commander and Destro. Her chief strength would seem to lie in her incredible skill at disguise and impersonation, as well as her ability to work everyone around her against each other to her advantage. Her powers of manipulation and seduction are simply breathtaking.

History[]

Canonical/Pre-MUX/Theme History:[]

Anastasia Cisarovna DeCobray was born somewhere in Europe in 1953 to wealthy aristocrats who spoiled her. Her brother, Eugen, had been part of a humanitarian effort to bring medical supplies to the natives of Vietnam during the Vietnam War. The supplies were to be distributed to the people regardless of their political affiliation. During the Tet offensive, Eugen had been in Saigon and Anastasia, only 15 years old, came along since she was on Christmas break from her boarding school. When they arrived, a warehouse which was supposed to be filled with the supplies was empty. He discovered that his contacts were selling the supplies to buy weapons. When DeCobray found out, the two men shot him dead. At that moment, a young soldier -- Snake-Eyes -- arrived and killed the two men. Anastasia rushed into the room and saw Snake-Eyes there, believing he killed all three men. Taken away before Snake-Eyes was cleared, Anastasia became angry, bitter and disillusioned. She soon became a radical student activist, dabbled in extremist fringe groups, and eventually graduated into international terrorism.

The particulars of the early years of her career are unknown, but She is believed to have been trained as a spy and saboteur at an exclusive facility run by a former Warsaw Pact intelligence agency. By 1982 the Baroness had became an infamous figure and joined the organization known as Cobra Command. Early in her career with Cobra, she led the team that kidnapped American scientist Dr. Adele Burkhart. The Baroness first dealt with the G.I. Joe team during their rescue of Burkhart.

For the next few years, Baroness became an integral part of Cobra and a trusted lieutenant of Cobra Commander. When Cobra Commander brought Destro into the organization, he was surprised to find out the Baroness had already met Destro. It was obvious they had had a past relationship, but the exact circumstances remain unknown.

Cobra Commander soon became suspicious of Destro's growing power in the organization and hired the mercenary Major Bludd to kill him. During a battle in Washington, D.C. with the Joes, Bludd took the opportunity to shoot Destro while driving a HISS tank. The Baroness realized what was about to happen and swerved her tank to stop Bludd. Her tank exploded, nearly killing her.

Bludd decided to save the Baroness, but they were both captured by the Joe team. Bludd managed to escape the Joes headquarters -- the Pit -- and took a comatose Baroness to the Bern Institute of Reconstructive Surgery in Switzerland where she was healed by Dr. Hundtkinder. When Joes had tracked them to Switzerland, Bludd sent a message to Cobra Commander to ransom the Baroness back to Cobra. Once he showed up, Bludd and the Baroness escaped and left the commander to be captured by the Joes.

Bludd and the Baroness returned to Cobra headquarters and began plotting with Destro to take control of Cobra. They wanted to eliminate Cobra Commander, knowing that his bodyguard, Storm Shadow, would rescue him. They sent the mercenary Firefly and the Cobra pilot, Wild Weasel, to find the commander.

However, Storm Shadow was captured, allowing Cobra Commander to escape and return to Cobra headquarters. Firefly and Wild Weasel were captured by Zartan. The Baroness and Major Bludd continued their plan to take over Cobra. Baroness offered freedom to a imprisoned Bludd to help her. Bludd located the young boy Billy, part of the Cobra underground in Springfield, the Cobra-controlled town somewhere in America. They trained him to assassinate Cobra Commander, but when the attempt was made, Destro somehow recognized that Billy was Cobra Commander's son and stopped the boy. When Billy's trial was held, he refused to turn in his accomplices. Bludd and the Baroness were delighted and soon afterward, Storm Shadow rescued Billy and left Cobra. Baroness continued her prominence in Cobra. She and Destro tested the inventions of Dr. Mindbender against G.I. Joe trainees and were defeated, but Mindbender joined Cobra. When Storm Shadow tried to escape Cobra Island, the Baroness shot him, tired of being betrayed by the ninja. Destro and the Baroness helped Mindbender scour the world for the remains of long-dead historical leaders. The scientist used these remains to create Serpentor, the ultimate Cobra warrior. Storm Shadow's body was used as well and he was somehow revived. When Serpentor arrived on Cobra Island, he began to usurp control from Cobra Commander, gaining the support of the Baroness and Dr. Mindbender. Soon afterward, Cobra Commander and Destro attacked G.I. Joe's headquarters, the Pit. The Pit was destroyed, and the commander and Destro were presumed killed in the explosion. The two men had survived, but went into hiding for a short time, away from Cobra.

Cobra Commander was shot by the Crimson Guardsman Fred VII, who thought the commander had died. He arrived on Cobra Island claiming to be the original Cobra Commander. Serpentor had the Baroness decide if it was truly Cobra Commander, since she knew what he really looked like. When Fred VII revealed his identity, the Baroness did not turn him in, but instead decided to become his "partner," using him to have more control over the organization. The power struggle between Serpentor and the false commander culminated in the Cobra Island Civil War, which split Cobra into two factions, loyal to Serpentor or the commander. The war, in which the Joe team entered on Serpentor's side, ended with the death of Serpentor and the arrival of Destro. Destro's personal army nearly took over the island when Destro claimed the Baroness as his prize, and left the island, taking her with him.

The Baroness then joined Destro's organization, which soon merged with Cobra. She was teamed up with Zarana to oversee Cobra's Broca Beach operation. The two women constantly fought and the Baroness tried to kill Zarana. The Baroness soon got a call from Dr. Hundtkinder who faxed her a picture of another patient at the Bern Institute. She recognized the man as her brother's murderer, and learned it was Snake-Eyes. She attacked the Bern Institute, shooting Scarlett and capturing Snake-Eyes. She brought him back to the Cobra Consulate building in New York, but Snake-Eyes escaped, causing the collapse of the building. Baroness nearly fell to her death but was caught by Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow as they hung from the crumbling building. She was about to shoot Snake-Eyes when Destro arrived and told her that he had been in Saigon as a teenager when her brother was killed. His father had discovered that Snake-Eyes had not killed Eugene. Unwilling to accept this, she let go of Snake-Eyes and fell again. She was saved by Storm Shadow who returned her to Destro to live with what she had done. Destro gave up his weapons business to live with the Baroness in his castle in Scotland. When the real Cobra Commander returned to power, he attempted to kill Destro. He brainwashed the Baroness to kill Destro, but she broke free of the conditioning and defended Destro's castle in Trans-Carpathia from Cobra with the help of the G.I. Joe team.

When Dr. Mindbender revealed to Cobra Commander that he had placed mind-controlling implants into Destro and Zartan years earlier, the commander returned to Destro's castle in Trans-Carpathia and activated the implants. He soon used the Brain-Wave scanner to control the Baroness, Billy and Storm Shadow as well. With the high command of Cobra back in power, the commander began his plan to take control of the countries surrounding Trans-Carpathia. A short time later, the G.I. Joe team was team was disbanded by the U.S. military. Soon afterward, Cobra forces fell to a unified attack by regular military forces. Most of Cobra's "high command" disappeared in the wake of the conflict, including the Baroness.

MUX History:[]

The Baroness was given control of Cobra by Destro as an engagement gift, while Cobra Commander was missing.

The Baroness participated in the Rescue of Cobra Commander, along with Artemis.


When Cobra Commander returned, he placed her in charge of the day-to-day operations of Cobra, while he remained hidden in the shadows, plotting who knew what.

The Baroness temporarily turned over the Intelligence duties to Tomax and Xamot, but she does not keep her hands out of the pot. Most of her contacts still report to her, and she only passes along what information she deems the Twins able to handle.

The Baroness and Major Bludd took an unscheduled vacation, which lead to much consternation amongst Cobra, before they returned.

The Baroness again disappeared, this time to spend a few months in direction communications with Cobra Commander in an unknown location, only to return as the situation with Destro became very dire, and an Assault on Cobra Island loomed.

When The Destro situation cleared up, The Baroness led a clandestine mission into the Cobra Consulate to see if the American Government had grabbed any Intelligence from the servers left behind. Major Bludd, Interrogator, and she snuck in, but had to fight off a Joe team. They were wounded, and before they could fully recover and check the servers, another Joe team, led by Scarlett and Lowdown, forced them to flee. Baroness and Interrogator were severely wounded in the fight, and the team was forced to flee via the Cobra Consulate Building roof and Night Raven Drones to return to Cobra Island.

Next on the agenda was dealing with Over Kill. She authorized the funding for one final Over Kill unit, this to be the last Cobra funds, she than ordered that the Unit be given a comprehensive set of tests to check for loyalty and combat effectiveness.

The Baroness than hatched her next plan, the takeover of a small Middle Eastern country that is rich in Oil Reserves: All-Alawi. Cobra invaded and Baroness left the planning of the invasion to Major Bludd. She sat back, waiting for good things to happen. When things in Al-Alawi progressed far enough, she went there to oversee the final stages of the Invasion, including the Peace Treaty that turned the country over to Cobra. She personally was involved in the combat when G.I. Joe tried to kick Cobra out of the country.

Baroness 2010

The Baroness in 2010

In 2014, The Baroness masterminded the opening phases of Operation Popsicle. She turned the operation over to others in Cobra High Command, however, before the final stages were implemented.

In 2015, the Baroness was captured by anti-Cobra forces in Borovia, and imprisoned for several months. She was rescued at last by Destro, who took her to the Silent Castle to recover. While there, Destro reconnected with the Baroness, and discussed her idea for teaming up and possibly infiltrating G.I. Joe.

However, in 2016 the Baroness hosted a party for Destro in the Silent Castle, and after she retired for the night Destro was killed by Satan and Artemis. She went on the run, but was soon captured by Cobra Commander's operatives, and brought in to face him. While she convinced Cobra Commander not to kill her, her closeness with Destro robs her of much of the Commander's trust.

Baroness has complete freedom to travel the world in her guise as head of Cobra Intelligence, but is currently spending most of her time at the Silent Castle, in the company of the recently-resurrected Destro. Cobra Commander's trust in her has waned, and he wonders at her true loyalty. In the meantime Cobra Commander may be grooming a replacement for her in Cobra Command.

in 2023, She started to sometimes go out amongst the rest of Cobra, dressed as a Viper

Bar-viper

In Disguise

Notes[]

With Cobra Commander often in hiding and Destro busy running MARS, the Baroness is often the de facto day-to-day head of Cobra. She also acts as Cobra Commander's spokeswoman when necessary. Sometimes this job becomes Major Bludd's, when she is assigned different work by the Commander.

Sep 21: IC Message to all Cobra Troops[]

This is the Baroness. I am sending this to all LOYAL Cobra Troops, Destro is attempting to take over Cobra, and meld it into something the Commander does not want. We can not allow this. If you support Cobra Commander's true Vision of Cobra, contact me now. If you prefer, go to Broca Beach... I will be there awaiting the TRULY loyal troops.

Baroness Clear

Nov 23: IC Orders[]

On the screen, comes the image of Anastasia DeCobray, better known as The Baroness. She smiles at the camera, and starts out, softly, her Eastern European accent causing her words, while understandable, to have an even greater menacing quality.

Cobra, let me begin by saying that our efforts to discredit the G.I. Joe Team have started to payoff, even if the American Media. It should continue.

I want the Naval Forces of Cobra to Launch attacks on the Port Cities of New York, Boston, New Orleans, Houston, San Diego, and Seattle. Nothing too severe, but random Missile Launches as Cargo Storage Facilities, Cargo Ships, and the Like. Limit the loss of life, for the time being.

Cobra Air Forces, strike further into the Country. Special Targets would be Napalm raids on Farms, Ranches, and Water Treatment Facilities. Strike fear for the food and water supply of the American civilian. Always, of course, leaving a Calling Card... Cobra Dry Rations, and Water Bottles with the Cobra Symbol, in crates, would show that Cobra, while interested in discrediting G.I. Joe, and waging war on the American Government, does not wish to harm the Civilians. We must turn the Civilians of America against the Government, and especially against G.I. Joe.

Cobra Infantry Forces, I want you to be on watch for targets of opportunity. Anything that will continue to do the work started by the Naval and Air Forces is what I want to see.

I have a special mission for those of you that are more Sneaky, especially the Range-Vipers, Ninja-Vipers, and Night Creepers. I *want* Cobra Commander found. While I am holding his place, I do think we need our Commander back. FIND HIM!

  • Baroness leans towards the Camera, her voice low again*

I will be addressing the American Media in a few days, after our attacks begin, and I want successes to show what we can do. Do not fail yourselves, Cobra, or ME! Failure will be met with SEVERE penalty.

With a last, almost sweet smile, Baroness' face fades out slowly, to be replaced with the Cobra Symbol, blood Red, against a black background, before that as well, fades.

Nov 23: IC Orders[]

Baroness appears on screen again

The following agents are tasked as follows.

Firefly: Your standard fee has been deposited in your account. I want you to locate high value MILITARY targets in the United States, or their Bases off American Soil. Report them to me.

Over Kill: You will stand by for any targets designated by Firefly, for your B.A.T. and Vector troops to attack. Also, if you find, during the course of your wandering, any Member of G.I. Joe, I want you to attack them. If you can, capture them, if not, kill or injure them.

Zartan: You and your Family should infiltrate the Americans, use your disguises to locate the Commander, and inform myself immediately.

Artemis: You will take Zartan's information, and you and a squad of Range-Vipers I am sending to you, will check each bit of information. You WILL find Cobra Commander

Major Bludd: You will oversee any and all Infantry and B.A.T. raid on the Americans.

Copperhead: Take charge of Naval Forces, and lead them into their Attacks.

Wild Weasel: The Air Force Raids are your area. Also, Military Targets will be acceptable.

Dr. Mindbender & Typhoid: I want more weapons that the Infantry can use to incapacitate the Americans. However, I want Lethal and Non-Lethal weapons. Civilians should NOT be targeted with Lethal Weapons, unless it is unavoidable.

OOC: If I forgot you, specifically, let me know, and I will give you some Orders

Baroness.

TO: Cobra Command, Cobra Tele-Vipers, Cobra Island Personnel
FROM: Baroness
RE: Cobra Island Communications

Effective Immediately, Tele-Viper 742 has been Promoted to Wiretap, and made Commander of the Tele-Vipers on Cobra Island, and placed in Charge of the Communications Section of the Command Center on Cobra Island.

Jan 08 - IC Orders[]

TO: Brainstorm, Artemis, Cobra Intelligence
CC: Cobra Command Personal (OOC Note: Rank 5 or Higher)
FROM: Baroness
RE: Operation Commander Recovery

Artemis, you and your Search Squad will be seconded to Brainstorm's more aggressive search for the Commander. Brainstorm is in command of this mission, and your squad will support him in any way necessary.

All Reports originally routed to Artemis, will go to both Artemis, and Brainstorm.

However, if you, Artemis, find any leads that are not based on Brainstorm's approach, you are to inform him, and myself of it, and I will decide if the information is reliable enough to act on.

Baroness

OOC NOTE: Artemis is assigned to Brainstorm, so that the Range Viper that Baroness has placed there, can continue to hinder any search for the Commander. During the course of the search, Range Viper 1928 can, and will hinder any real chance of success, but, in the end, will be found out, and likely killed. No link to the Baroness will be shown by anything the Range Viper in question does or says, as the Range Viper is working under false pretenses that Destro ordered him to hinder the investigation

Jan 08 - IC Orders[]

TO: All Cobra Personnel
FROM: Baroness
RE: Attacks on American Mainland

From now on, without direct orders from me, all attacks on the American 'Lower 48' will stop. Such attacks should be moved off the Mainland United States, to such places like Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, or any U.S. Military bases on 'Foreign Soil'. Our attacks have done the work they were designed to do, but the time to attack the United States Mainland is over. It is time to ensure that American Civilians understand we do not wish them hurt, that we only wish to free them from the Government that enslaves them.

The only exception to this will be attacks on U.S. Military Installations in the United States, or at such targets that Brainstorm's new Campaign will do, for which only he may decide if you need to know about.

I want to see a world wide raid on U.S. Military targets, beginning as soon as possible. I want Strikes on Naval Vessels, including those Civilian Vessels that may be hauling Oil, which first must be taken over, and the crew removed. Also, strikes on U.S. Military Bases in the European and Middle Eastern Theaters should commence tomorrow.

We will provide The Joes that come through the portal from the Other Universe support, however. Noting Overt, but if they need Supplies, a place to hide, we will provide it. Before they are taken to Springfield, Australia, or Cobra Island, or Broca Beach, however, they will need my approval.

April, 11 - IC Orders[]

TO: All Cobra Forces


FROM: Baroness


RE: U.S. Relations

With negotiations with the United States having broken down, Cobra Forces are hereby placed on War Warning. I want all forces to prepare for resumed actions on the United States, but all forces are to await my orders before striking. We will begin with a series of strikes, with no warning, that leave no witnesses, to soften up certain targets. I want there to be no connection to Cobra, at first. The first Target, will be Guantonamo Bay Naval Base, on Cuba. However, to soften the target, I want assaults on Naval and Air Force Facilities in Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. Air Strikes by Night Ravens and Any Stealth Equipped Aircraft. Sea Based Strikes will also be launched, but from maximum range, to ensure the Naval Forces can not be tracked.


Major Bludd, I want you to plan a Naval and Air Based Assault on Guantanamo Bay. Infantry Forces can be Airlifted in via Helicopter, Airborne Assault via Airplane, or Naval Based Landing Craft can be used as well. Whatever you deem most effective. Our objective, other than the destruction of American property, and loss of American Naval and Marine Life, is the freeing of the terrorists the Americans have there. Use whatever units you deem needed. All Cobra Forces are at your Control.

If there is any talk of this strike on ANY Radio, Cellular, Land-line, Television, or Internet Communication, I will have the offender killed.

Mar 28 - IC ORDERS[]

TO: All Cobra Forces on Cobra Island (Not including Destro)
FROM: Baroness
RE: Possible Attack by Destro

Prepare for an attack, however, we will not retreat from our Island. We have not allowed G.I. Joe or the American Government to kick us off our Island, and we will not allow Destro to do it. All vehicles that can not be made worthy of Winter Combat Operations should be moved to Underground Storage, or to one of our other bases.

All forces are to be placed on High Alert, and all leave is canceled. Any agent currently on leave, or not on a mission of utmost importance, is to be contacted, and ordered to return to the Island. The defense of Cobra Island will be our top priority.

Techno-Vipers, find out what is wrong with Over Kill, and get him fixed... We may need him. If we decide to, later, shut him down, make sure we can do so easily, and without the Vectors threatening to, again, mutiny. If this can not be done, dismantle them all.

If Destro insists on attacking the Island, for something we did not do, I want all of our foreign bases to be prepared to invade Trans-Carpathia, and to take control of the country. We will show him the folly of daring to threaten Cobra.

Mar 28 - IC Orders[]

TO: All Cobra Operatives (Except Destro and MARS Staff)
FROM: Baroness
RE: Destro

The following Operatives are hereby assigned the following missions:

Zartan, Storm Shadow, Artemis, and Zandar - Infiltrate Trans-Carpathia for a possible Assassination attempt on Destro, if circumstances require.

Firefly, Zarana, Gristle - Move troops, vehicles, and supplies to the DeCobray Barony in the Ukraine, in preparation for a preliminary invasion force, to be followed up later, in Trans-Carpathia, to move if and when Destro begins any kind of assault on Cobra Island.

Tomax, Xamot - Get me any information about Destro's possible assault.

Vypra, Aleph, Dr. Mindbender, Sky Creeper - Gather an Invasion forces from all our bases, and prepare them for an attack on Trans-Carpathia, to go in two days after the Preliminary Force goes in.

Major Bludd, Wild Weasel, Copperhead, Interrogator - Prepare the Cobra Island Defense Forces to fight off any incursion from Destro.

Wiretap - Coordinate all necessary Communications, and prevent anyone from intercepting any Communications about our Transmissions.

RE: Over Kill

For now, the Over Kill project has been shut down, pending a review of all aspects of the project. I want Techno-Vipers going over every inch of the project, looking for flaws, and I want a final recommendation in 24 hours.

I will be personally speaking to each Vector, one at a time, and to Over Kill. Until this evaluation is complete, BATNet is to remain offline. All internet connections available to Over Kill will also remain offline. Any sightings of Over Kill on the internet should be reported immediately.

Over Kill has been moved to a secure location inside the R&D department, and shall not be let out, without my express permission.

TO: Cobra Command, R&D, Cobra Island Forces, Current Over Kill
FROM: Baroness
RE: Over Kill Project

I want the new model brought online today. However, this is only for testing of the programming and the body that houses the program.

No connection to the Internet, or BatNET should be established at this time, until testing is complete, and the system is deemed combat ready, by myself, and the R&D department heads.

The new model is to be escorted, at all times, by Techno-Vipers and the current Over Kill model, along with a Viper Squadron, to and from the R&D facilities.

I will drop in on the testings, as time allows.

I want full reports on each stage of testing in the following categories:

-Combat Effectiveness
-Combat Survivability
-Higher Brain Functionality
-Loyalty to Cobra
-Demeanor
-Willingness to Sacrifice BAT's for Mission Success

As soon as such tests are complete, and reports are forwarded to myself and the R&D department for study, a final decision will be made on the New Over Kill model.

All testing should be done by the current Over Kill model, along with Interrogator, and any member of R&D that wishes to sit in, and any member of the Command Staff that wishes to sit in.

September 22 - Artic Sea Investigation Report[]

TO: Cobra Command, Naval Operations, Intelligence

FROM: Baroness

RE: Artic Sea Investigation


With Crash Dive's report, it is imperative we get every Sea Ray we can operational, in preperation for a strike, and support them with as many Rattlers and Night Ravens as possible.


We will also need the same kind of recon run done at the South Pole, to see if the Decepticons are pulling the same kind of operation there, as they are under the north pole ice cap. If they are, we will need to strike both, to hopefully return the ice caps to normal.


Commander, I request permission to, if the South Pole is experiencing the same kind of Heating as the North Pole, to approach G.I. Joe and share this intelligence. Their S.H.A.R.C.'s could potentially assist us in restoring the Earth to normal, and a temporary truce, only for the duration, and only against the Decepticons, might be in order.

TO: Cobra High Command
FROM: Baroness
RE: Mid-Western United States

It is still my desire to send supplies of food, water, fuel, and most importantly, new seed material to the farms or the Mid-western farmland states of the United States. Despite the refusal of the United States Government to allow us to do so openly, we can send Night Ravens in stealthily, and have them air drop, or use the drones to land and off load supplies to the farms that are in desperate need of such supplies.


If we can win at least a small population of middle American support, we will have a foot in the door for future operations.


We have plenty of Siegie penetration in the Midwest, that we can have them, as Insurance Representatives, go to the area, meet the drones, and offload the supplies, or, they can ignore the supplies, and meet covertly with the militia groups in the area, and perhaps gain their support, as the U.S. Government will not be getting around to that area for some time, as they work on the more coastal regions.


I intend for Tomax and Xamot to coordinate these efforts, while they work in Central America, as they will be the closest operatives, or we can send in Zartan, Zarana, and Zandar.

RE: Intelligence on Kurdish Raids

The recent attacks by the Kurdish Insurgents appear to have tapered off. No attack has taken place in 72 hours, leading me to believe that the Kurds have either run out of weapons, or are currently training for a major assault. I want all High Value targets to step down from high alert, and get back to doing the jobs they have been assigned, however, the Terrordrome personnel need to step up their alert status, and increase their ground patrols.

We have still lost too many helicopters on low level recon, so from now on, Helicopter patrol will be carried out at the Flight Level (4 Aircraft) rather than at a single, or two, aircraft level.

RE: My absence

Since late September of 2012, I have been tracking down an Infiltrator into Cobra Unity. I noticed someone familiar in the Crown City Bazzar, and I followed them. After months of recon, and a lot of money, I discovered the location of this infiltrator. It was Scarllet. Yes, the Joe.

I lead a small team of Vipers into her hideout, and it would appear that she was massing Intelligence Information on our actions. We attacked her, and I alnoe, of my ten man group, came out. Scarlett escaped, with the help of some locals, or perhaps Iraqies, but I captured her stash of Intelligence and I have had it brought back to the Palace, so I can sift through it, and see if there are any weaknesses in our defenses that the Joes might be able to exploit.

I want all Ice Vipers, along with their Wolves, all Arctic HISS and their assigned HISS Drivers, along with all assigned Snow Serpents, and support crews, including the MAMBA and Rattler air assets, to assemble in Crown City, by no later than Monday. We will be launching a full invasion, if Destro is unable to secure our invitation. The time frame for the invasion has not yet been set, however, it will be less than two weeks. Before that time, Artemis will assassinate Defense Minister Akenheil. That should leave the last roadblock to our victory by the wayside.

Baroness

Apr 11 - IC Orders: Operation Popsicle[]

TO: All Cobra Personnel
FROM Baroness
RE: Operation Popsicle, Phase Five

With the initial phases over, and our invitation into Frusenland as Peacekeepers secured, and the initial force of Ice-Vipers (And W.O.L.F.'s) and Track-Vipers (And Arctic H.I.S.S.'s), with MAMBA and Rattler air Cover, along with Snow Serpent and Range-Viper ground support teams moving in to take over the capital, along with the major population centers, the next phase of the operation is to move forward.

Artemis, Angel, Agent Bristow, and the Night Stalkers are to move to secure the Coast Line areas that our Geo-Sats have indicated are the resource rich areas.

Interrogator, I want you to take Command of all forces in Frusenland, until such a time that one of the High Command comes in Country. Be prepared to quell riots, or fight the Frusenland Security forces that might attack you, to try and get us out of the country. Do not let a Civil War break out. If that means you must arrest every member of the Frusenland Security Forces, do so.

Tomax and Xamot, you shall send in Crimson Guard to begin to change the public opinion about Cobra, so that when we introduce Political Prospects for the Major positions open in the Government, the Frusenlanders will vote for them during the Special Elections that we will be holding as soon as Public Support for these canidates is high enough to ensure their victories. Use Wiretap, or Cypher, along with Interrogator to feed them subliminal messages through their local radio frequencies, if necessary, as it worked very well in Northern Africa, after the World Flooding.

Major Bludd, I imagine the G.I. Joe Team, or perhaps more likely, the Oktober Guard, will not be happy about our being called in as Peace Keepers, and will be sending in at least a small team to keep an eye on us, form a rapid response team, to respond to any sighting of either group, and discourage them from remaining in the country. You need not lead it yourself, just pick a team.

More orders will follow, as needed.

The Cobra symbol feels the screen before fading and showing the Baroness sitting at her desk in her castle. She shifts something on her desk before she speaks up, "In response to intelligence I received recently, last night, at roughly midnight local time in South Africa, I took two teams of Vipers in a attack on lab off it's coast that had a strong defensive force, which with the assistance of Nightlash, was overwhelmed. A handful of Vipers were lost but bodies were recovered as we secured the data we came for, recently developed metal treatment that increases the strength of most metal types when in deep space, as well as a few plates of treated material that were there. The site itself as well as the local base were both leveled thanks to Nightlash's efforts."

A hand reaches up to touch the computer to turn off the report but she pauses, a brief flash of annoyance appearing, "And I want a report on the Viper that all seemed to call 'Bob' and whoever approved him for combat operations.. I wish to have a Talk with them." With that she taps a comm and the screen blanks after another quick flash of the Cobra icon.

TO: Cobra
FROM: Baroness
RE: G.I. Joe Starfighter

Not that long ago, I recived a report from the Cobra Space Operations, aboard the Space Station, that the Joes have successfully launched a Starfighter, based on the older Star Stilleto design. This craft was spotted leaving Earth's Atmosphere, making a couple of orbits of Earth, and than flying to the moon, and back, before returning to Earth, somewhere in Utah.

It would appear, that the Joes have decided to join the Space Race, in full. However, it does help confirm the location of at least one G.I. Joe base, as I doubt they would let this project not be under their control.

Baroness

Jan 13 - Another Space Flight[]

The Joes have flown their Starfighter for a second time in two days. We need to stop them! We have to maintain Space Superiority. I'd like Star Stilletos put on Alert, and ready to intercept them, the next time they launch! Destroy or capture the Starfighter. I do not want the Joes to be able to get into Space.

RE: Stellar Stiletto lost.

Star Viper Alpha-One-Eight launched from the Solar Serpent, at approximately 4:30 P.M., Cobra Island Time. Approximately 45 minutes later, he reported spotting a G.I. Joe Starfighter, and moved to intercept. That was the last transmission he made. The Solar Serpent has reported that it picked up the Stiletto heading towards Deep Space, out of control. The G.I. Joe Starfighter has returned to Earth, under its own power.

I demand to know what Space Forces are going to do to ensure the Joes do not gain Superiority in Space?! This should be the last time one of our Spacecraft is destroyed by the Joes. Find a way to upgrade our craft, and ensure the Joes are destroyed, whenever they enter space.

Jan 21 - IC Report[]

RE: G.I. Joe PIT

With their repeated launch and recovery of their Starfighter Project, we have located the G.I. Joe Headquarters, or rather, confirmed the location. We are now certain this PIT, as they call it, is located in the Escalante Desert in Utah. All Cobra forces should avoid the area, as we do not want them to know we know where they are. Range-Vipers may move into the desert, but must remain hidden. Set up a recon of the area, and watch for personnel movements in and out of the PIT.

Feb 07 - IC Orders[]

TO: All Cobra Forces
FROM: Baroness
RE: Orders

To all Cobra Forces involved with the raid on the Pit. Very good work. We have almost complete technical Specs on the G.I. Joe vehicle systems they use. Almost complete, as it is only for the latest weapons systems, nothing older than 10 years old. Meaning, some of the systems they use, will still be completely unknown to us. Like the Skystriker based on the F-14 Tomcat, or the Mauler, and the like. However, anything like the Skystriker Mark II, the F-35 Lightning, and the like, we now can determine weakness on. I have sent the Specs to various Techno-Viper teams to view, and analyze. I will be sending Jets and Helicopter Specs to the Flight Ops team as well.

The personnel records are yielding vast information on the history of the Joes, and also, providing targets. My intention for these files are not, however, to kill family members of the Joes, while in the short term, that could give us an advantage in combat, in the long term, it would harden their resolve. No family member of a Joe is to be terminated. My plan is more subtle, and long term. Instead of death, and temporary mourning, we kidnap or threaten a few of the Joe's closest family members, and than inform the Joe in question, that we will harm their family, if they do not give us information that we want, or that they must do something for us, which will allow us to slowly turn the Joe into a Cobra Pawn. Perhaps even get this member banished from the team, as a traitor.

If there are any questions, let me know. I will send squads out to target Joe Family Members, when it is decided which Joe is the best target for blackmail.

Baroness

Broca may be compromised. We should start the evacuation procedures immediately. All Non-Essential personnel should begin to evacuated to Cobra Island, Cobra Unity, and other bases.
