Sectoid right off the bay, Salvatore fired three shots and the third hit, was no more. The ship was literally a stones throw from the skyranger. Sent two teams, one to go one way, the other to go the other way until a circle was made. Team one went around, while team two went for the door. Valor spotted an alien on the other side of the ship, took three shots but each missed. Alien shot back, also missed. Chris nonchalantly walked towards it and one hit it with a 43% chance to hit on a snap. Never seen one that high.
The breach team was led by Alex, him having sixty TUs even though he's a fresh recruit. Large scout, so had a few rooms. Three on each door to the main chamber, one tried to open the door with Alex right on the other side. Three shots later the door shut and Alex looked very satisfied. Sent Alex first to fight another Sectoid in ship, he got it twice but nothing. Olison was the second door team breacher, flanked the Alien and also hit. Nothing still.
Alien shot back, killed someone, don't know who yet.
Karin, a nameless grunt, walked up to it, crouched, and auto-shot it to death, so it took four hits to take it down. Thought that was it, but nope, still another in the reactor room. Alex once again at breach. Just one guy, thought this was routine so had Alex shoot at the guy twice. Both missed. Was worried now, tried to get people to see if they could get shots too, but Alex was in the way. Tried to have someone pop a smoke to increase its chance to miss Alex, couldn't. Sighed, resigned Alex as a goner and ended turn. Two shots, two hits, two explosions.
Alex was still fucking standing.
Alex then proceeded to walk right up to the sectoid who shot him, who I can only guess was reeling with confusion, and proceeded to beat it to death with the rest of his TUs with a stun rod.
He didn't get a promotions.
Alex, you are now resident badass on my team. I'm going to be back with who died, and what the heck was shot at you. You just barely survived, twenty five percent of your health left.
