mission 1: [video/action]

[cardboard_boss]

[The feed snaps on to show the image of Venom Snake, not Big Boss, the other one. The shrapnel "horn" protruding out of his skull. That's the only way to tell him from the other Boss.]

Anyone know if I can get a cigar made up for me? An e-cigar. It's kind of a healthier option and is electronic. This place has a science department and I'm wondering if some brain box could make one for me. The damn portal stole my cigar.

[Because he's really desperate for his e-cigar right now. So much going on right now. So many Snakes and so much to take in. Besides, the Ingress stole his cigar. He could find a replacement for his missing cardboard box but this....it would take a little more effort.]

I make all kinds of devices in my workshop, but you will have to explain to me exactly what a "cigar" is before I could attempt to engineer one.

[cardboard_boss]

It's a device which is made out of tabacco, a plant from my planet. It's smoked through a long thin barrel-shaped device. Got anything you could use to make such an item?

[peridork]

I’m certain that I can put something together. All I need is for you explain the function of the device in more detail, or perhaps provide schematics, if you have them.

[Yes. Schematics for a cigarette.]

[cardboard_boss]

That would be appreciated. I could send you some schematics via my iDroid and link them through the MID.

[Because the Ingress didn't take his iDroid off him. It just didn't work as well out in space as the MID. Yet, he had schematics off his phantom cigar on it.]

[peridork]

[It's so rare that people request items from her and actually have schematics to back them up. This is a pleasant surprise.]

Yes, that would be acceptable. Please send them along, provided that I have the necessary materials I should be able to have the device to you by the end of the day.

[cardboard_boss]

[Snake sent through the schematics and hoped that they would be able to create a phantom cigar for him.]

What's your name so I can at least thank you for doing this.

[peridork]

Peridot.

Please drop by my office near the gardens and Mess Hall some time later today. I should have the item you requested ready for testing in a few hours.

[cardboard_boss]

Thanks. I'll make sure to come along to get it.

[Sometime later....]

Hey. Peridot? I'm hear to collect the cigar if it's ready.

[peridork]

[The door slides open just a crack, and Peridot peers out suspiciously.]

Ah. Yes... One moment. Follow me, if you would.

[She turns around promptly and disappears back into the armory, leaving the door open for him to follow.]

[cardboard_boss]

[Snake followed her whilst looking around at the same time. Getting used to your surroundings was always a good idea.]

Thanks for doing this for me.
