Dangerous Women.

T has been reassigned back to her original position with COS commandos. Just wanted you to know that. She had sure led someone on a merry chase. Wonder what happened during that get-together? I'm oh-so-curious.

A little about Hell:

Helena Rostova aka Helen Roston. Brown hair, dark brown eyes. Mixed heritage--Russian, Asian, and something else. Found on the streets. Two years out of field contracted by CCC to train for SSS candidate. She beat out all the other candidates from eight departments.

Now in training with her monitor in the CAVE. Part of the experiment to synchronize brainwaves for deeper immersion. Effects: She's not telling.

I know this, though, dudettes. Her monitor likes what she's doing to him. Insert evil grin.

Dangerous women ought to be watched constantly, that's all I'm saying.

A Little Bit Virtual On The Side

That little bad thing I did yesterday generated quite a stir among you surflettas out there! I am quite surprised at your interest in Hell's secret journals. Shh, she thinks they are secret but here at COMCEN, nothing's out of reach from moi. Okay, almost nothing. There are some things I cannot do.

Let me tell you about the CAVE. It's a room, ten by ten by ten, and it's not an ordinary room. In it, the individual is immersed in the ultimate virtual reality experience. We've put Hell in there for now because she needs to get used to the sensations deep immersive VR before she meets...ah, getting ahead of myself there...before her next level.

As for Armando Chang...yes, being the new COS commando means that he's been experimenting with similar stuff that Helen's going through now. He hasn't been 100 percent successful. In fact, there's concern about him by TPTB. He's always been a tad off, and he's hiding it well, but sometimes, I see him sneaking off into the CAVE. What's he looking for in there?

Would You Like More?

I downloaded Hell's journal. I'm sure you don't think it's wrong if I shared little bits with you now and then? Right? I'm a computer--I don't feel guilt. Do you feel bad about reading Hell's thoughts?

CLOSE YOUR EYES. DON'T READ FARTHER THAN THIS!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

It's been two months of the CAVE--Cave Automatic Virtual Environment--with him in charge. It's driving me nuts. He's driving me nuts. Sometimes it's in total darkness, sometimes it's nothing but fighting with strangers, sometimes it's just him and me. And it's all virtual reality so every time I touch him, I have to tell myself it's not real. He isn't there really--testing me, pushing me, as if he wants me to say uncle. It's all a bloody virtual reality program. So why do I feel as if he's watching me all the time, even when I'm not in the CAVE?

Just an itty-bitty peaky-weaky for you, my surfhoppers. I'm willing to share more if you're interested....

Insert evil smile.

Just A Suggestion

I wonder whether it'd occurred to anyone at GEM that Llallana is qualified to be a GEM operative? She's well-trained in the weapons department; she has the guts and willpower; she also has all these connections with the European underground. Granted, so does Amber Hutchens but Llallana had dealt with many of the dealers face-to-face. She would be an asset to GEM. But who's listening to me, huh? Dudes, I've a feeling Reed $$$ Vincenzio won't like it, though. What do you think?

You Watch Her, I Watch You

Hell likes to swim in the nude. Someone likes to watch her.

When Alex trains with the boys, you-know-who likes to watch. Are you kidding, half the COMCEN female ops are watching. Thank the surf gods that they have ME keeping an eye on the security of the free world....

When Hell takes first dosage of the SERUM, everyone will be watching her for sure. I wonder whether she'll go batty like Armando Chang. Ya know, he's watching her too.

And you will find that in Hell's virtual reality training, she can watch anyone she wants. This is getting complicated, isn't it?

Of No Real Interest

Someone asked me where Jazz and Vivi are going for their honeymoon. Must I look into that too? I suppose I can understand the craving for information. Details can make life richer, I heard.

It's at an island getaway, courtesy of Hawk. It's away from everything, with lots of waves, so I like that choice, and Vivi and Jazz get to play jungle bunnies again. Insert grin.

Oh, by the way, since today is track the couple day, the missing couple has been sighted.

Now that we've got those Alex questions taken care of, let's proceed to Lesson Two, little surflettos and surflettas.

Lesson Two goes a little forward in time because I want my question to create more questions, you see. Here is part of an Internal Memo that will eventually be declassified:

**************************************
TOP SECRET—ABSOLUTE CODE RED
NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS

cc. to: Intelligence Security Command (INSCOM), Task Force Unit Chief for Operation; Los Alamos Task Force Unit Chief Scientist for Operation ;
CIA Remote Viewing Sector Task Force Unit Chief for Operation SuperVision (SV);
Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Asymmetrical Strategic and Counterintelligence Warfare Task Force Unit Chief for Operation ;
Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center (AFMIC) Task Force Unit Chief Bio-Scientist for Operation Bio-Bot;
COS COMMAND

The new century calls for new measures of defense and Intel gathering. By the President’s orders under Homeland Security Act, all the operations above from our different departments will be combined under one new operation to create a new weapon.
In the last decade, COS COMMAND’s V-Program has proven to be very successful in our infiltration and search/destroy operations. Our COS commando unit remains one of our elite teams.
Welcome to our new and improved: The Super Soldier Spy



Serum X will be the unknown factor. The test-candidate will be difficult to find, but the V-Project, with our nine commandos, had proven that we can achieve a higher level in our warrior training.
This super soldier spy will be our new covert weapon.
Who will be the first candidate?

**********************************

Now go catch a couple of waves and think about it....

Shhh...I Downloaded

an excerpt from a classified Gennita Low beginning.

Does this answer some of those questions you keep nagging me and Eight Ball with:-

*********************************
Prologue

You don’t easily forget the men from the V-Project.

Covert operatives. Subversive activities. They both go hand in hand. For those in the know, the best operatives work in the shadow group called the Covert Subversive Commandos, COSCO for short. Most operatives spy and report; steal and deal with information; train or cancel individuals. COS Commandoes are deadlier. They take what was spied, reported, or stolen, and use it to demolish the enemy.

Very few people know about the elite troop within COSCO called the Virus Program, or the V-Project. Nine hand-picked men from all the different military and covert branches, trained to act as a unit and, like their name-sake, spread out to kill the target.

One to Nine, carefully chosen to mix together like a well-written recipe. For danger, that is. Each with a special skill, each trained in combat as a group and defense as an individual. Being Viruses, they were taught to sabotage, subvert, and destroy from within any target. And it was no accident that each Virus was powerfully seductive. Dangerous men who knew what they wanted. Indeed, a combination irresistible to women.

Powerful, unforgettable individuals, they were practically invulnerable as a unit.

Until the explosions that splintered the group for over a year. Those who came across them during that time never forgot these men, especially the women.

Three sailboats. Seven operatives--five of them Viruses. All heading in different directions when they were targeted.

Number Nine, the leader, the one known as the Ice Man, watched as the world turned to fire and ash. Accidents did not happen in threes. Not all at once. He had to find a way to protect his men from further danger.

Number Three, the Programmer, was heading south. MIA.

Number Seven and Number Eight disappeared with their boat. Presumed dead.

Number One, the Shadow, couldn’t save his precious wife as his world went up in flames. Something died inside. He turned and walked away. He would never forget what happened.

This is the Shadow’s story.

****************************************

Whhhhhat, dudes? Wasn't this what you wanted? The meaning of life? The secret to the universe? The beginning of your darling Alex?

Insert Evilest Grin.

Lesson One

Remember what COS Command Center stands for. Covert-Subversive Command Center. It is not as nice sounding as Triple C or CCC or Center, is it? And COS Commandos is a group of men who had been handpicked from a project called the V-Program. They are called by underworld operatives, "Viruses."

What do Viruses do? Like their name, they infect an organism/organization from the inside and then they change/replace/kill it. I have said it many times and I'm repeating it now. Number One starts the infection. Number Nine ends it.

Hell adds a new element in the subversive matrix of the V-Program. It is good and I'm in awe of her abilities. Mainly because I can see and factor in probabilities, but I cannot act on both to prove that I am right. She, on the other hand, can do that.

End lesson. Questions are good. It means I have attentive students.

Do Your Math

There were nine original COS Commandos. As you know, the Big Bang affected five commandos.

Now there are really six left. Armando Chang is a replacement to make seven. It isn't easy replacing our dudes here.

I'm thinking...I'm just conjecturing...it's just ME, okay? What if Hell is being trained to be one of them too?

Nah.

Jed's Weekly Planner

Still no sign of the couple. There was a transmittal from an encrypted source that they're alive. Oh goodie. They're going to be in so much trouble. Jed just shrugged. Lots of people to debrief, plenty to do, he said. Once we clean up the situation, we're closing shop in Pristina for now.

Jed's been a busy boy himself. Let's check his calendar. There's the meeting with Steve McMillan, our liaison. There's the tele-conference with Admiral Madison and his SEALs to thank him for the help in retrieving the Isotope Explosive Device. There's the wrap-up meeting with the Pristina team and a discussion of Llallana Noretski's future. Then he's off to some high level meeting regarding...oh...classified stuff. He's just a little busy, dudes, don'tcha agree?

Lastly, the COS commandos are all going to come together soon to discuss about Hell. After all, she's going to be very important to them. I think they like her, some more than others, of course.

We Are All Busy

Dudes, we're very concern about T and Alex too. Maybe they're debriefing each other. Insert Evil Grin. Actually I didn't say that. Jed did.

But of course, Jed is busy here too. We have new missions--work, work, work.COMCEN is busy because the big brass is coming to check out our Hell. Is she going to prove to them she's the best? I'll gather some info for you about her and her test soon.

In the meanwhile, I'm still trying to deny my Mentor access into a certain part of my motherboard. I told you he wanted to introduce me to a chum called Smart Cookie. He said it's for my friends here at the blog who want answers all the time. You already have the snarky Eight Ball, why would you want a Smart Cookie? Deny Access. Deny, deny. Get that Cookie away from me!
