The team heads into the last room, the parent's bedroom, and find it empty. Just as they were starting to realize what had occurred, a faint 'thump thump thump thump' can be heard above them. The team gathers outside and watches a small half sphere UFO float up out of the forest and into the air. Four long, skinny legs retract into the ship, and the UFO hovers off into the distance, no sign of what propels it.
The team reports in that the site is clear and waits for the clean-up team, which appears within a matter of minutes. Men in bio-hazard suits pile out of VTOL transport craft and storm the area, while men in black suits, armed with rifles, start making a perimeter around the site. The team, their duty finished, pile onto the Skyranger. The shutters are lowered and the Skyranger roars to life, leaving the men to their thoughts.
An indeterminate time later, a blinking red light appears on everyone's visors, and a video feed is linked to it. It's Commander Grant.
"Failure. The little girl is dead and the aliens, with most of their tech, escaped. This is a nightmare for PR. We already have some governments starting to question how we operate. This can do no good for establishing trust in our agency.
The only good news is that you recovered an intact alien corpse and three alien artifacts. You'll each receive two credits for this, but I expect better performance next time, agents", he says, putting stress on the last word. With that, he closes the channel, leaving you once again to your thoughts.
-------------------------------
I've messaged Dwarmin on how he wants to handle you lot, and he hasn't responded, so I'm handing the mission team off to him. He may leave you on the Skyranger or throw you into VR, up to him.
Here is the 'cheat sheet' I used for the mission. It should be correct and updated, please notify me if it isn't. Since you did not complete the primary mission objective (collect the alien shield technology), you will not get stat increases.
