Do your best to hide your excitement. Grab the Fragger.
I'll take that one. I think I'm more than strong enough to handle it.
"Alright friend, your funer...er, good luck!" Gerome says, giving you a thumbs up.
You like the weight of the weapon in your hands. Yes.

Lake sighed inwardly. Oh yes, just like his first day at Hawke. Hand the new guy a bomb and tell him it's real, even leave some accelerate or propellant in there, wig him out and see what he does. Figured they wanted to see him freak out. Do these guys play by the same rules?
Well, the device itself was certainly freaky enough. Just like any other bomb- take it slow.
Inspect the device to discover the source of the gas and/or growling.
Nice and slow.
You identify at least five separate chemicals in this...whatever it is. They don't look like any substance you've seen, but one of them-colored bright orange-smells faintly of nitroglycerin. You can make out a central organ, sort of like a heart, pumping the chemicals around in an endless loop. It's biologically insane-nothing in nature could exist like this. The gas is being vented fairly quickly, and you get the idea when it empties completely, the pressure pops the creature-triggering whatever chemical reaction is going to happen.
The 'growling' noise is coming from a small patch of matted silicate material-brushing it away, you spot a single milky eye, staring at you balefully (or what you assume is an unhappy look for a living bomb). It blinks once. Hmm. You can't find the brain though...

Ria nodded apprehensively, while she did have experience with the handling and inspection of drugs, she had none in trying any. Well, in any that she had no idea of, that is.
"Err, yes sir. Quite new in X-COM, what is in that drug anyway? What does it do, and any side effects I should know of?"
Question the good doctor!
The Doctor laughs quietly. But it's not a happy laugh.
"If I knew the exact side effects, I wouldn't need you to test it, would I?
But, if you insist-the Izo Ampule increases any number of physical attributes-strength, speed, endurance. I synthesized it from Alien blood samples...what pumps through their bodies is more than mere blood chemisty.
Curious beings. Every part of them is...biologically superior to us. Their blood, a potent serum when the base components are distilled-their flesh is truly organic armor, lighter and stronger than any known polymer, their minds perfectly structured for the maximum amount of efficiency...I admire them for their perfection. They are the perfect survivors-unclouded by conscience, remorse or delusions of morality.
A pity we must destroy them, but it is not a task I will shy from either-there will be plenty of bodies for me to study. There always are...
So, will you help my research? I know it is a heavy burden, but it must be done." He finishes, folding his hands.

Pull out the Energy drink I happened to sneak in, take a sip, and start playing.
...
Several hours later, you are still playing-you mostly break even, though it's clear he's a very skilled player...somehow, you end up sharing energy drinks. You put your 5th can to the side of your computer. You realize you lost track of time-and this guy doesn't seem to want to quit and take a break, either.
"We're just getting started!" he says, a bit maniacally.

"Well then. Good to meet you all- you three."
Can you hear me?
"Miss Weston, no hard feelings, of course..."
I'm not going to notice you if they don't...
"Of course you have to do what you have to do."
Are you... psions? Like me?
...
"...so, what now? Should I sign in somewhere? Is there orientation? Keep listening to you talk, Doc? Or should I... follow you, Corporal, to your... firing range, sir?"

You hear a voice in your head-that's totally not weird. In fact, two voices-speaking more or less in unison, like an echo. Unlike the murmurs of before, you can make them out clearly and cognizantly. You fee...no, you know it's coming from the mysterious figures.
Stop shouting stop shouting
We can hear you just fine you just fineThe Corporal shakes you on the shoulder.
"...sorry son, this is a private course. I'll be sure to schedule you for the next one though." He says, smiling slightly. He leaves pretty quickly after that.
If you want to know more... know more...
Meet us in X-Command, midnight tonight midnight, tonightThe Doctor speaks up.
"...no, you have free run of the base, sir. Miss Westen will give you a guided tour."She speaks up, smiling.
"Or just Aribel Westen. If you're comfortable on a first name basis."Interesting Interesting
We suggest you stay out of her mind her mind
You might not like what you find
Or you might like it quite alot
Who are we to judgeWell, here comes the headache again.

"Nothing that I didn't already know."
Alexandre shakes his head, still trapped within his own mind. He heads to the door, and moves as if to step out, but hesitates to tell Abella one last thing.
"Tell me if X-com accepts me, madam."
Then, he heads down the hallway, back to the most isolated place he can find.
In time, you find the most isolated part of the base-the meditation chambers. You've been here before. It's completely cut off from the outside world-no cameras, no listening devices (so they say).
It's roomy and comfortable, a plain room with a mat on the floor for meditating, prayer or what have you. Utterly silent. Perhaps the only thing that breaks the perfect harmony here is the bright red Panic button near the door-in case of any sort of emergency.
