Long Summary
After Snake Eyes crawls from the wreckage of the helicopter he crashed in the last issue, Duke accuses him of working for Cobra. Scarlet goes to his defense, pointing out the wounds that he has suffered in saving the lives of the Joes. The situation is resolved when, after a brief engagement with Cobra forces, Snake Eyes removes his shirt to reveal a tattoo of the Special Forces motto.
The captured Baroness attempts to throw suspicions back onto Snake Eyes, unsuccessfully. Storm Shadow attempts to shoot Snake Eyes, but is thwarted and left behind with severe injuries.
The Cobra forces back at the missile base find the documents containing the valid "authcodes" and convince a squadron of Tomcats that the situation on the base is normal. Furthermore, after Zartan addresses several of the American troops stationed on the base as the Admiral, Cobra not only retains control of the base, but it is largely staffed by American soldiers.
Beachhead and Snake Eyes infiltrate the base. Cobra Commander claims the island as Cobra's sovereign territory. When the President does not acknowledge this within the four minutes allotted by the Commander, a missile launch with a payload of the Omega Black virus is initiated. Beach head manages to attach explosives to one of the missiles, not knowing which of the eight missiles actually contains the viral payload. He is apparently killed during the explosion and launch of the remaining seven missiles. It is unknown if he had selected the correct missile.
A second set of "Overwhelm" missiles will be launched in the next 24 hours if the President still refuses to accept the terms as dictated by the Cobra Commander.
