GI JOE Porno Story: The Come back of Sgt Goodwin – Chapter 8
Chapter 8
The Plan
7 am-Next Morning
The Pit Briefing room
The Joe teams briefing room has become legendary, even mythical in the minds of many younger Joes. It was well known that was where the team had first assembled to rescue Doctor Adele Burkhart from a mysterious terrorist group called Cobra. It was where the team convened to decide what to after the devastating Cobra attack that resulted in the death of General Flagg and the New Jersey attack where many Joes were killed and a younger Dan Goodwin was injured. To be summoned to a briefing in the Pit was a sign that Hawk considered you a full fledged Joe.
The briefing on this particular morning included Joes handpicked by Goodwin and Conrad Duke Hauser, the longtime First Sergeant of the GI Joe team. While Goodwin had named his personal team and the leaders of assault units for the attack in Africa, it was Hauser who helped fill in the spaces with several younger Joes that Goodwin had never known. These Joes, along with the others, were in the Pits briefing room. Many were under the age of 20. All had heard of the legend of Dan Goodwin, just as they heard of Snake Eyes, Scarlet and others. The pits briefing room, entirely underground, featured a small stage. The room was circular and had seats that reached 20 rows to the top of the room. Almost like a small domed theater. On this particular morning, veteran Joes mixed with younger Joes to hear of their next mission. The difference between the two was that the young ones showed expressions ranging from awestruck to disbelief that the Joe known as Rage was actually in the room with them. While he was obviously aging, the graying and scarred figure that stood before them still commanded the utmost respect, and he had it.
Duke Hauser approached the podium. The acoustics in the briefing room helped his voice be heard from even the farthest seats.
Good Morning. You have been summoned here today on a matter of grave importance for our country. The mission comes from General Abernathy himself and is being planned and executed by Rage over here..
Hauser gestured toward the Marine who nodded and continued.
Follow his lead. He has been one of the greatest soldiers America has ever seen, since before some of you were born. You can trust him. He will lead the way.
Hauser sat down to the left of the podium and Goodwin took over.
Goodwin looked around the room. All eyes were on him. His medals glistened. His uniform was crisp. His expression was all business.
We have a new problem with an old enemy. Cobra!
A murmur ran through the room. It was widely believed Cobra was extinct. Goodwin gestured behind him to a screen. A picture of the Extensive Enterprises building in Nigeria appeared. Goodwin continued.
That rather innocent looking building, is the cause of a lot of misery for us. In it, Cobra, under the direction of Tomax and someone who may be masquerading for his brother Xamot, has scammed millions of dollars from people. It has allowed Cobra to become a player again among our enemies.
Danny grinned for the first time that morning.
We are going to knock that building down to the ground!
The silence in the room was deafening as the soldiers waited to hear the catch. A simple demolition operation would not require GI Joe. Goodwin cleared his throat and reached for his always present bottle of water. His raspy voice never fared well in speeches since Zartan hurt him.
You and I are working together because the building is guarded. I am talking about H.I.S.S. Tanks, I am talking about Cobra Rattlers making passes from the air, and F.A.N.G. Copters taking off from the top floor. Cobra soldiers everywhere! The crimson guard has also been seen by our intelligence agents. Since Tomax and his brother once commanded the entire Crimson Guard, we have to assume these men are every bit as deadly as they were years ago.
Goodwin nodded to Breaker, who changed the picture behind him to an aerial satellite shot.
In this neighborhood, is a secret Cobra base. It will have to be hit for two reasons. I want them distracted while we prepare to destroy the Extensive building. I also do not want help arriving from the base. There is enough of a defense there that we dont want to make this anymore interesting than it needs to be.
Danny continued as Breaker changed the photo to a shot of the Nigerian coast in the gulf of Guinea.
An assault team led by Duke will arrive by water on the U.S.S. Flagg. A land assault with tanks and limited air support from the Flagg can hit the base quickly. A team led by myself will infiltrate the Extensive building. That will be tricky and I will brief my team about that later. Dukes team will fight to gain control of the base. If that is achieved, take whatever prisoners you have and come back to the Flagg. At that point, you dont want to be anywhere near the Extensive Enterprises building, trust me!
Danny nodded to Duke, who rose to the podium.
All of those who were not handed a gold card will be coming with me. We will be leaving in one hour so get your gear ready. We will fly to the U.S.S. Flagg to an undisclosed location and sail the rest of the way to Nigeria. If you have a gold card, then stay here, because you are working with the man! Duke pointed to Goodwin.
There was a rush of Joes leaving the room, those who were left behind moved toward the stage. Danny eyed them carefully. It was his personal team. Men of impeccable integrity and skill. Grand Slam, his mentor. Grunt, who could be counted on to hold off the enemy until hell froze over with just his canteen as a weapon if he had to. Beach Head, a highly skilled Army Ranger. Not the best attitude, but his skills and heart were pure. Snake Eyes, his old friend Jonathon. A helicopter crash took his voice and disfigured him to the point that he wore a mask. Storm Shadow. Tommy. He had been through the hell of Vietnam with Snake Eyes, Stalker, Duke and Wade Collins. He once worked with Cobra but was now hell bent on their destruction. A true Ninja. Deadly to the core. Gung-Ho. A mountain of a man and a Marine through and through. A total lunatic to be sure, and not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, but as strong as a horse. Scarlet, snake eyes wife. Unbelievably beautiful. Tall, statuesque with red hair and green eyes. A body that could knock a convey of tanks off course. No mistaking her for just another pretty face. Her skills were invaluable. She taught hand to hand combat to almost all of the Joes, including young Dan Goodwin. Leatherneck. Uncouth and overbearing. Extremely opinionated. A technical sergeant in Vietnam. His experience was called for. Low-Light. His old friend Cooper McBride. One of the most accurate marksman that ever lived. He had gone on missions with Danny for years and had hit targets that were sometimes not only moving, but were too far away to be seen with the naked eye. He could pick off the enemy in Nigeria without a problem. Since part of the mission may very well involve hidden traps, who better than Trip Wire? Sure he was a jittery nervous mess but between his instincts and his equipment he had saved lives. Including Dannys.
Goodwin studied his team, however he came up one man short in his count.
Beachhead, Danny began. Are you hiding Trip Wire from me?
Not hardly, Beachhead answered in his gruff Alabama drawl. He slipped in the mess hall last night. Broke his leg in at least two places that I know of. I think you may have to do without him boss!
Danny groaned. Man, oh man. We didnt need that.
Rage.
Danny smiled at Scarlet. Yes, red, what is it?
Scarlet continued.
I can certainly use Trip Wires equipment. Well manage.
Danny nodded. We will, we always do.
Goodwin looked out at his personal team. Ok, come up here, gather around. We have the hard part of the mission. You are here because I believe in you. I have worked with all of you before. Weve been there for each other through good and bad. Dare I say, I love all of you.
Beach Head spoke up. Aw isnt that sweet? How about a hug?
Goodwin shook his head. Well, almost all of you.
The group laughed. Goodwin Continued.
Seriously, this wont be easy, but we can do it. We have to do. There is way to much to lose if we dont. Now pay attention.
The group tensed up and prepared to learn its dangerous and critical mission.
