SECOND LAP. [rocket frequency audio; video from lake of rage.]

[AUDIO; LOCKED TO ROCKETS]

So... How come we never do anything fun? I mean, I guess some of you guys think explosions are fun or whatever -- and they can be! -- but shouldn't there be like, I dunno, a company picnic, or a morale-boosting festival? Let's face it, guys, as a team we don't have the greatest track record of successes.

[NOT THAT SHE...MINDS THAT...]

Even some of you old, boring guys gotta enjoy something fun! Throw us younger members a bone, here.

[VIDEO; OPEN TO PUBLIC]

Alright guys, I've got a question. And I need you to think really hard on it! This is important.

[She stares into the camera for several seconds, brows furrowed to show the seriousness of the situation.]

...You can only eat one thing for the rest of your life. Go.

[...Yeah, she might be going a little bit stir-crazy in her tent, today.]

[MR. SNAKESPLOSION!]

Uh-huh, it'd be pretty ssssmart to set up something nice for everyone.

[She shrugs.]

Not if it was held inside the base! ...Or we could use it to draw attention. You know, for ssstealing and stuff. But that's just work, not play.

[Rocket Filter]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[Why is she hissing? So help him if she's making fun of him...]

Holding it inssside the base would also be sssssussspiciousss due to the amount of traffic entering and exiting the building. And using it to draw attention is a horrible idea! Absolutely horrible!

[Don't mind him, just pointing out problems without contributing any useful suggestions/]

[Rocket Filter]

[rarestcandy]

[She does it because she adores you, Cobra Commander.]

I'm not sssaying as a billboard like HEY, WE'RE ROCKETS, COME N' GET US, but you know! Like, hey, have some fun and play these games! We totally won't take your pokemon while you stuff your face with cotton candy!

[Which would be true, in her case.]

But okay, so the base if off the list. What kinda place do you think would be a good spot, Mr. Sssssir?

[He's now also on the committee.]

[Rocket Filter]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Sssstop that.

[Yeah okay, he's pretty sure he knows what's going on here and it's certainly not adoration.]

Ssstop that right now.

[Rocket Filter]

[rarestcandy]

Stop what, sir?

[BUT SHE SOUNDS SO INNOCENT.]

[Rocket Filter]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Mocking me! Stop doing that!

[Rocket Filter]

[rarestcandy]

I would never! You're my commander, after all.

I might tease you, but that's what I do with the people I like! Just ask Ralph.

[Rocket Filter]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Who on earth is Ralph?

[Rocket Filter]

[rarestcandy]

Hoo boy, and this is why we need a company picnic.

[She shakes her head is disappointment before realizing that she's still on voice-only, so she gives a disapproving click of her tongue for his benefit.]

Ralph is another member of Team Rocket, a-doi. And he's my friend just like you're gonna be my friend!

[Rocket Filter]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[...yeah, he can sort of see the need for a get together since there are apparently Grunts he doesn't know. Or maybe he should hang around Johto more instead of being all the way over here in Vermilion.

But that can wait, since he's got something else to yell about now.]

That's a completely impossssible goal, ssssince I am no one's friend!

[Rocket Filter]

[rarestcandy]

Maybe right now, but I did say you were going to. That means we're future buddies!

We probably just need to bond over a nice picnic game. You'll see.
