001 Shot Fired [text; action for Rocket Base]

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.

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

A psychic medium?

[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.]

And here I always thought you considered Yevgeny a father figure.

[He's teasing, of course. Volgin would have made a terrible father.]

He did teach me a thing or two.

[LIKE HOW TORTURE IS FUN]

Like what?

Like how I'm glad it was the American and not me who got beaten into a bloody pulp after he stole your uniform.

[And for once, he doesn't sound sarcastic as hell about things involving Raikov.]

And shoved me in a locker to be left for dead. If the men hadn't of looked for me, I...

[he's not gonna finish that thought]

[He doesn't like Raikov at all, but given what happened to the base...

Well.

One of the few honest things about Ocelot is the fact that he doesn't like killing fellow Russians.]

Not very bright of an idea to disguise himself as you.

[That... might be an "I'm sorry" maybe?]

How he knew I was the Colonel's lover, I'll never know... Unless it was Tatyana that told him.

[That makes him look thoughtful.]

You know.... I don't think he was quite bright enough for that. I encountered him a few times.

Oh? You got to interact with him more?

I had a couple run-ins with him.

[Why on Earth Tatyana, who did know about Raikov, would tell Snake to dress up as Raikov...

And where did he get a mask that looked exactly like him?]

Far better than mine I assume.

[Well he didn't get stuffed into a locker, but he got his ass handed to him every single time, so]

Probably.

But that's hardly important since by the looks of things, he isn't here.

Even if he was, it wouldn't matter to me.

It's not like we can continue the Cold War ourselves, even if the American does show up at some point.

There's wouldn't be any reason to, anyway.

Yeah. This world works completely different... Any war seems completely irrelevant.

[The idea of not continuing what he's started bothers him. But there's also not much he can actually do about it. It would also take him years to plan out everything, and without contact from his handler it means he's entirely out of the loop when it comes to things going on back home.]

Sounds boring. But there's nothing we can do about it.

After what I've been through, I welcome the peace and quiet.

[Right, he's from some point in the future.]

Might do us both some good.

[Bullshit, Ocelot. You're in Team Rocket.]

It's been nice so far although some stupid punks tried to hijack a train. And get this: They announced it before they actually did the deed.

[That gets a laugh from him.]

Are you serious?

That is the most ridiculous thin I've heard yet.

What is wrong with this place?

Supposedly there's been worse but not in the few months I've been here.

[He'll... have to ask one of the ranking members about it later on.]

It sounds like whoever did it is an idiot.

Yeah. They were completely outnumbered.
