*Plays ping pong with gourmet meatballs* Good afternoon and hail HYDRA. Last weekend's op was a catastrophic failure. During our Annual HYDRA Youth Picnic, SHIELD strike forces crashed the party and abducted hundreds of young initiates. SHIELD intended to "rehabilitate" the children through reverse psychomatic indoctrination procedures...savages. Operation: Kid Power was enacted with Crossbones personally leading Skull Team 6 in a daring rescue. They succeeded in saving every single young initiate and had them board a Skull Helo during exfiltration, but the transport carrier was destroyed by a SHIELD ballistic missile as a last minute "screw you" to us. Not a single initiate survived the explosion, Crossbones and friends were forced to return empty handed. SHIELD has some serious nerve to call us the bad guys. In other news the weather is now nice enough to spend quality time outside, though this still does not permit personnel to wander about in the parking lot while playing Pokémon Go. A few months ago, HYDRA borrowed money from the First Bank of Latveria and now we have started to fall behind on reimbursal payments. Doctor Doom is starting to lose his patience. An intern has taken Sin's Maserati for a joyride. Tim, we know it's you and we know where you are, Red Skull had his daughter's vehicle low-jacked. Make this easy for yourself and return the car and your death will be painless. That is all for this week. Get ready to hail HYDRA! [T]7 [T]/ [i][b]HAIL HYDRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/b][/i]
