Long Summary:
After Snake Eyes crawls from the
wreckage of the helicopter he crashed
in the last issue, Duke accuses him of working for Cobra. Scarlet
goes to his defense, pointing out the wounds that he has suffered in
saving the lives of the Joes. The situation is resolved when, after a
brief engagement with Cobra forces, Snake Eyes removes his shirt to
reveal a tattoo of the Special Forces motto.
The captured Baroness attempts to throw suspicions back onto Snake
Eyes, unsuccessfully. Storm Shadow attempts to shoot Snake Eyes, but
is thwarted and left behind with severe injuries.
The Cobra forces back at the missile base find the documents
containing the valid "authcodes" and
convince a squadron of Tomcats
that the situation on the base is normal. Furthermore, after Zartan
addresses several of the American troops stationed on the base as the
Admiral, Cobra not only retains control of the base, but it is largely
staffed by American soldiers.
Beachhead and Snake Eyes infiltrate the base. Cobra Commander claims
the island as Cobra's sovereign territory. When the President does
not acknowledge this within the four minutes allotted by the
Commander, a missile launch with a payload of the Omega Black virus is
initiated. Beach head manages to attach explosives to one of the
missiles, not knowing which of the eight missiles actually contains
the viral payload. He is apparently killed during the explosion and
launch of the remaining seven missiles. It is unknown if he had
selected the correct missile.
A second set of "Overwhelm" missiles will be launched in the next
24
hours if the President still refuses to accept the terms as dictated
by the Cobra Commander.
