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.]

[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...]

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.
