001 Shot Fired [text; action for Rocket Base]

[shest]

I'm going to list a series of words.

If they are at all familiar to you please respond otherwise dismiss this.

Cold War
Spetsnaz
Lyndon B. Johnson
Nikita Khrushchev
Tselinoyarsk

[About an hour later on the Rocket frequency:]

My name is Adamska. Code name Ocelot. Call me either. I'm a GRU Major if that means anything to any of you.

I would like to speak with whomever is in charge here.

I never gave a shit about your history so no.

[shest]

Heh.

[He smirks before his expression goes back to being serious.]

They say my father could talk to ghosts.

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Raikov isn't all that unfamiliar with dealing with ghosts. He raises an eyebrow though]

A psychic medium?

[artificialrose]

Many people do seem to be sent home eventually, although the process seems random from what I've heard. I've been doing my best to try and look things up but I haven't honestly found anything.

[otakon_geek]

[Otacon had heard about Tselinoyark from when Big Boss was around. Wasn't that when Big Boss and the Boss were working together? Or, when she apparently feigned defection to rise up against Colonel Volgin at Groznyj Grad?]

Wasn't there a fortress called Groznyj Grad there? [Oh God. Who was this guy he was speaking to? Surely not someone who had died there? Or possibly got out of prison? Or someone who had escaped altogether. Now, he was intrigued.]

[shest]

[There's a noticeable pause before his next reply.]

Who is this?

[otakon_geek]

[This is the part which could become tricky.]

You won't know me I wouldn't think. My name is Otacon. [A pause.] What's yours?

[shest]

Adamska.

[He's not giving out the codename.]

[otakon_geek]

[Adamska? So, he was Russian at least. That he knew of now. The name was enough proof to answer some of Otacon's curiosity. Yet, so many questions remained unanswered.]

What is the year you last remember being in?

[shest]

[Using the name "Ocelot" here would only be confusing. And besides, if there's someone who is aware of Groznyj Grad here besides Raikov, he's not sure he wants to give out that name anyway in case he's made a name for himself in the future.]

1964.

[Blake is intrigued despite himself. It's not often around her that he hears about the stuff that was big on the news when he was a kid.]

If you're looking for LBJ's friends and family, good fucking luck with that.

Hell, a Vietnam vet would be something new around here.

[foolishwren]

well when i write it down it sounds way less exciting

but i used to be friends with some guys who were giant alien robots before they got here

BADASS giant alien robots

it was p. sweet not gonna lie

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I'm almost certain they will be. Not all of us are content to remain mere petnappers.

[otakon_geek]

Ah, so you believe it's still 1964 now? Well, actually it's not. Not here anyway. It's 2014.

[shest]

It's just a matter of waiting for a mission to prove myself, then.

I can handle that.

[shest]

Don't insult me.

I've already noticed the date.

[otakon_geek]

I wasn't trying to insult you. [Geez. Why did this Russian have to be so grouchy? Maybe he was just out of his depth and alone. Otacon could understand that.]

I suppose you already know where you are too then. Johto. This world is inhabited by creatures called Pokémon. Do you have a starter?

[shest]

[Sorry, Otacon. You're dealing with bitty Ocelot here.]

I do. It's called Duskull according to this device.

[otakon_geek]

[If only he knew.]

Ah, Duskull. I've not met one of those before. [He pulled up his Pokedex and ran through until he found the ghost type. It looked rather odd and sort of spooky.]

What moves does he have do you know?

[shest]

[And it's time for Ocelot to bullshit again.]

Leer and Night Shade.

[shest]

[He nods.]

Unfortunately, most information about him goes beyond my clearance, but I did learn that much.

[Just a bit sore that he doesn't have high enough rank to learn about his parents.

Or at least the information the Soviets would have.]

[shest]

Maybe there isn't a connection, then.

That's irritating.

[shest]

[He's so confused.]

I see. How fascinating.

font face=courier>Fortunately, it's nothing of the sort.

I'm looking for people I would know. If they're here at all.

[artificialrose]

It is. I've been wondering if something to do with some local ruins might be involved, but that isn't exactly my area of expertise I'm afraid.

I shouldn't bother you with that sort of thing when you've just arrived, however.
