determinator | ♕ TWELFTH COMMAND | VIDEO / ACTION [MAHOGANY TOWN, TEAM ROCKET BASE]

[ VIDEO ]

[The video feed opens to Archer playing with a Venipede. Said Venipede is glaring at the camera - how dare it take his trainer's attention away!]

I've been in Johto for one year.

[Yes, this is a very important announcement. Archer doesn't look up at the camera, instead continuing to toy with Kann's anntenae.]

To those of you who have been here for quite some time, have you decided that you want to stay here? Why or why not?

[To those of you familiar with Archer, he seems quite a bit distant today. The fact that he's not looking at the camera is one sure sign, but he's also looking a little... down, for lack of a better word. He's not even trying to be threatening. This must be a first!]

I'd appreciate any opinions, even from those of you who haven't been here for very long.

[He gestures airily and the Alakazam running the 'Gear turns it off.]

[ ACTION - MAHOGANY TOWN, TEAM ROCKET BASE ]

[Should you find yourself in Mahogany Town today and you decide to explore the Team Rocket Base (which really shouldn't be all that difficult to find if you know what you're looking for), you'll find that the place is rigged with Voltorbs that will explode as soon as they enter a battle. They're not the only threat, however! There are five Psychic-types just waiting beyond there, all with orders to attack any intruders. They're also high leveled, but don't worry! They'll at least let their trainer know before attacking you!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to enter the base and either defeat the Psychic-types or persuade them to keep from attacking! Show them you mean no harm and they won't hurt you! After all, there might be something valuable or useful inside that base ~~probably not~~...

Archer is holed up in a room inside the base (Kimblee's old room, to be specific), still amusing himself by playing with Kann, the ridiculously powerful Venipede. Feel free to come bother him!]

Sssso? If they don't offer them, then take them! By force if necessary! Or just because!

[And don't let things like failure stand in your way! Cobra doesn't, so he feels that neither should anyone else.]

It's not quite that simple, I'm afraid. My world isn't run by those who are the most powerful. It's run by a select group of people. I've recently fallen out of their favor, unfortunately.

[Oh Cobra, he wishes he could see the world like you do!]

Ssssso?

[Archer, this isn't a big deal where Cobra's from.]

Gather what support you have, remove them from the equation, and take power for yourself! That's what I would do!

[Bonus points if you turn your enemies into iguanas and let some minion eat them for dinner.]

I appreciate your advice, Commander, but I'm afraid that's impossible.

[Lol what support... And you get to have so much fun, goddamn.]

How sssso?

[Archer, does he have to make you a pamphlet on how to start your own terrorist organization and overthrow the government? This is like Cobra Basics 101 for him.]

[You might have to. Just as long as it doesn't involve rushing into battle screaming COBRAAAAAAA he'll do it!]

I don't exactly have many supporters in my world. In fact, the few I thought I had either turned against me or died.

[Nah. That would be in the advanced pamphlets.]

Then get new ones.

[This isn't rocket science.]

Unless you come from sssome sort of perfect utopia, find people disillusioned with the current order and use them to topple it.

...I suppose that could be done... It would be incredibly difficult, but it's certainly something worth looking into.

[It still won't beat the opportunities he has here, but someday he will be returned home and when that day comes, he'll at least have some idea of what to do.]

Thank you, Commander. I really appreciate the advice.

[And he actually does mean that!]

You're quite welcome, Archer.

[And he will look into making an instruction manual or a pamphlet or something on how to start an evil organization for him.]

And if I may offer a suggestion? You are military, correct? Check there. You'd be ssssurprised at how many current and former military men can be tired of the way things are and want change. And the best part is, you won't even have to waste any money training them!

[But who would ever go against the Fuhrer? Don't they know he's an inhumane monster who has connections in even higher places? ...Oh right, they don't because everyone in Amestris is an idiot.]

That's a very valid point. I do know of a few who disagree with the way things are run now.

[...But eww, working with Mustang...]

[So lock him in a cage forever or something. Does Cobra have to think of everything?]

There you go! The foundations of your new organization and your future conquest of...whatever your world is called!

[He doesn't remember if he's been told that or not.]

[...Cobra, why are your ideas always so simple and yet he can't argue with them...?]

Amestris. I appreciate the help, Commander.

Think nothing of it, Archer! Ssssimply let me know if you have any other questions! I'd be happy to answer them!
