02X - Reintro. [Text/Locked Audio to the Rocket Frequency]

[TEXT]

[Well! Those of you on the network today will be greeted by a bit of audio late this morning, from a device ID that's been bouncing back all attempts at contact for the last several weeks.]

...Oh, that's cute.

[...well, if that wasn't the most triumphant return ever, I don't know what is.

At the very least, however, he seems to get over whatever he's almost audibly linefacing at long enough to realize that the device is recording something; he promptly switches the thing over to text - he's never really liked talking at the machine when he's addressing all of Johto.]


My, it seems this place does still have its sense of humor, doesn't it? And here I thought that perhaps I'd only lost three days at worst - it was a bit of a surprise to find out otherwise.

Ah, but that's neither here nor there, is it?


[Kimblee, hon.]

There's not much to report from home, unfortunately; however, it'll be a pleasure getting in contact with all of you again - hopefully you've all been at least reasonably well.

[Oh, well. At least he doesn't seem too off-put by the whole disappearing-for-a-month-and-a-half thing?]


[PRIVATE AUDIO - TEAM ROCKET FREQUENCY]

[...At least, not until the audio message that goes out over the private Rocket network a few minutes later; Kimblee's voice is cold and clipped, and the amiable "tone" from the text earlier is completely absent.

He has no idea if he still holds his rank or not; he suspects he doesn't. Like hell if he won't throw it around anyway. He's a bit displeased at his life basically being a .gif from Community, and he's going to figure out what in the good hell is going on if it kills him.]


This is Team Rocket Beta Solf J Kimblee, reporting back in for duty; to my superiors, I admit that I don't know what happened, but I assure you that it won't happen again.

To the rest of you - check in with me immediately, particularly if you're one of my subordinates. I'm receiving a lot of "ID Not Found" nonsense, and I need to know who's still present; given that and various things that I've had to hear about secondhand, I expect a full report regarding what happened here from someone, I'm not feeling particularly choosy right now.

New members to the organization - welcome to it, and you have my personal apologies for the disarray. For now, you're welcome to introduce yourselves; it'll serve you well to know that I'm good to those who are good to me. Again, prove yourself useful and you'll be rewarded.

None of this is a request. Allow me to make that much clear.

[...oh dear. Well. At least he's not in much position to actually do anything at the moment - this is Team Rocket we're talking about, and if somebody's on the network very vocally overstating their importance and/or competence, that means it's pretty much a day ending in Y.]

How would I have accomplished anything without you? You know how to network and you placed the groundwork for all of our hard work. It wouldn't feel fair to attempt to complete it without you. Would you have continued this without me?

[Archer hesitates for a moment, recognition flashing across his features along with surprise.]

I--! I'm sorry, I didn't mean--!

[Clearly some of his memories are still a little hazy around the edges.]

My apologies, Kimblee.

[Archer sighs in relief at that. Kimblee isn't mad at him. He's not sure what he'd do if Kimblee was mad at him.

Kimblee does bring up a good point though, and Archer frowns at that.]


I'll be incredibly displeased if we have to start over entirely. Cobra is still here so I imagine he can at least attempt to reason with the superiors after he-- Ah, you weren't there for it, were you?

[Archer smirks, though it's half-hearted at best.]

Cobra launched an attack after his demands weren't met. He was arrested for his efforts. It seems the Johto police force finally managed to do something.

Then I suppose we'll have to branch out to the new recruits. I know you're quite good at that; perhaps you'll be able to find someone useful.

[He hesitates for a moment, then adds onto that.]

I'll attempt to help. I'm not very good at gathering support, but I can at least assess the new recruits to see who has potential.

[personal profile] sadisticwarfare 2013-05-10 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, well. As I said, I'll do what I can. I'll see if there are any of the new recruits that I can get along with well enough.

[Don't get your hopes up too high, Kimblee...]

[personal profile] sadisticwarfare 2013-05-10 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course we will. We'll make this organization ours.

[And for the first time he smirks fully.]

It's good to have you back, Kimblee.
