Your mission is to proceed up the whole river and terminate the rabbit and his command. Terminate with extreme prejudice. Here is your dossier on the Colonel. He used to have it all, the best in his class, but then something broke in him because there's a conflict in all of us, between the rational and the irrational, the light and the dark, between good and evil. But good does not always win... sometimes the dark side of human nature prevails. That is why it is your mission to to proceed up the river and destroy the rabbit by means necessary. *clears thought*
