Looks like 3 votes for Alien Materials, none for anything else, so that's our goal.

Operation: Frozen Scepter

X-Rays had been reported in South Africa. We launched Strike Two, our second team, lead by Private Dr Cuntpunch, while Strike One still had an injured woman.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Four X-Rays were encountered. Similar psychic techniques were detected as in Operation: Cryptic Dawn, but were neutralised safely.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Another member of Strike Two was injured by alien weaponry and has been sent to the infirmary. No deaths. All alien bodies were retrieved intact.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Strike Two returned to base without further incident.

Slave traders occasionally bring feral ghouls for trade. I haven't decided if this is a bug or feature yet.

I wish to purchase Isabel Murray for .000001 Simoleans. Heavy Weapons Lady henceforth shall be known as Isabel Nydus.  If the transaction goes thru anyways.

Pvt. Cuntpunt Is trapped in a thousand yard stare. He wears a look that simply says "O__O". He wears this look well. 

"Yuo'd ever se'in an ' alien's eyes, Boy? col' an' dead an'lifeless. Black. lik' a doll's eyes. They don't eva' look real. until thay blast ye'." He started to monologue to no one in particular.
   

A soldier looks at him: A fatal mistake. "Cuntpunch, you haven't even seen an alie-"
   
Cuntpunt is on the private like a panther. "Shat' up Boy!" He said while he drew a knife from his pant leg holster, with menace bleeding from his veins. He stood up.

"THE GENE POOL IS STAGNANT; I AM THE ADMINISTER OF  CHLORINE" He bellowed inches away from the recruit's face, spittle flying into his beard.

Cuntpunch smiles.

"I like you. your throat is purty." he chimes, a complete 180.

He sits back in his seat and continues to  O__O.

XCOM sure knows how to pick 'em.

Operation: Final Fog

X-Ray Bogey 001 was shot down today in Nigeria. We launched Strike Three, our third team, lead by Private Francesca Bruno, while Strikes One and Two still had people in the infirmary.

Two X-rays were spotted first. After Private Gregoire Andre took down one, the survivor fled. Strike Three advanced.

Strike Three encountered two additional X-rays, one using similar mental combat techniques as seen prior. First survivor reappeared. Strike Three was flanked, and Gregoire and Private Jan De Jong were both badly wounded. Jan used a grenade, neutralising the two additional X-rays.

Private Victor DeVry advanced on the remaining X-ray, and killed it with a short range assault rifle burst.

Strike Three advanced on the X-Ray Bogey.

On the advance, strange energy readings were detected, and an additional new X-Ray type was detected.

We might need to hire more soldiers to get everyone dorfed as the class they want. Any other things people would want? Maybe medpacks so we don't actually lose a soldier? :P

It's been 4 days, and I haven't forgotten about you. Exams and some other stuff have gotten in the way...

but mini-update is inbound!


Today we sent out an order for more soldiers. We've got too many wounded to just ignore it.

Vahlen had something for me, too.

As a suggestion, make sure you plan out the "Room bonus" for certain buildings in advance.

The Uplink bonus is invaluable.

Yup, I know. But it's the reader's choice of where they want things :P

RE Uplinks, this would be my preferred design.

* = Uplink
R = other room/space

**R
**R
R*R

Total uplink capacity = 14.

“I would suggest sweetshops, make our boots nice and cheap… wait no, I meant workshops, my mistake.” ~Attributed to Squaddie Patricia Rettokan when told about the real estate she sleeps over.

(( Do note, that was a poor joke, but Quondam vos modo vivere. Also two workshops together.))

“Xeno-biology; I wonder if all aliens have green blood like the movies?” ~Attributed to Squaddie Patricia Rettokan after hearing about the research going on in the lab... or after watching too many bad-grade ET movies.
