Joe Triumphs!
Story 1 22 pages military

"I don't get it. Why are we assembling a pre-fab fortress on the heavy equipment level of the "Pit" thirty feet below ground level?"

Storyline

The Joes learn of Cobra's plan to uncover the Pit's hidden location, and construct a false headquarters over the real thing, while setting them up to believe that their base is under quarantine from Scar-Face's infected body, cured by Doc. Cobra then attacks, and the Joes defend. The battle is won by the Joes but at a cost: Gen. Flagg, Kwinn, Scar-Face, and Dr. Venom are casualties, and Bludd escapes with the Baroness.
