There are plenty of rumors surrounding The Cobra. Leader of the Xeno Alliance. Now there is a new rumor to pin on the fridge: "The Kingsnake died". Someone named Ridgenose got in contact with me. At first I bluffed, saying I know him. It was only later on in my conversation with him that memories had begun to seep in. Vincent liked him. And there was no point in lying the guy. Raven told him about me. I played along and... and, hm. The rest is history.

I told him what I knew about my "birth". It took no more than a day to see the same person along with other three running to the Omicrons. Ridgenose said the Kingsnake is dead. Cobra, is dead. I didn't feel anything for the guy. Never quite properly met him.

Deep inside, though. Why did I feel so demolished by the news? I kept hearing his crying echo through every corridor, every hallway, every room. I nearly lost control too. Like a headache turned seizure that you can't get rid of. For the first time I couldn't hold a proper grip. Even had to pop a PsyBlocker before passing out... it was awful. Just, awful. Wish I could sympathize with the guy, but I'm behind the wheel. Not him.

There was a time I wanted to just die. Fade away, but now? I can't let go. Not until my job is done. Not until the Vault is-

NOT UNTIL I AVENGE-- ...soon.

Note to self. Lacing a one of the vials containing Radoxol among other compounds with an additional drug to block psychic influence should prevent such outbursts in the future.
