[GentlemanRaptor]

Okay. I just realized something: I've been really lucky thus far in avoiding deaths. Err...let's just say that I am no longer all that lucky, shall we? I'll put up the actual update tonight or tomorrow.

[anailater]

My god...

[Lightningfalcon]

That is NOT the kind of words that sound good in XCOM. 

[Mephansteras]

It was inevitable.

[Xantalos]

FOR THE XCOMPEROR! EVEN IN DEATH YE SHALL SERVE!
Ahem.
Sorry, been playing Dark Heresy.

[MaximumZero]

Aw, hell. Sounds like it's probably time to crack open clone 3.

[GentlemanRaptor]

Aw, hell. Sounds like it's probably time to crack open clone 3.

Oh, it's not all that bad! Although, I still need to check who actually died, because there was a rather large explosion.

[CognitiveDissonance]

Aw, hell. Sounds like it's probably time to crack open clone 3.

Oh, it's not all that bad! Although, I still need to check who actually died, because there was a rather large explosion.

Calm down everyone, it's just a *small* large explosion. I'm sure nobody got seriously hurt...

That sounds a good bit like an alien grenade right outside the sub...which is usually the worst thing ever.

He's right.  Afterall, when the explosion is powerful enough to insta-kill you're not REALLY getting hurt.

Update is here!

Ragnarok: "Moving up. Nothing visible yet."



Blomberg: "I see one."



Blomberg: "Target down."
Xantalos: "Oh yeah. Chalk up another."



Manta: "I hope no aliens are hiding in the ships. Those things give me the creeps. Too many close corridors."



Blomberg: "I've got one inside the ship!"
Manta: "Dammit."



Blomberg: "Taking cover so the bastard can't hit me."



Ragnarok: "Bugger. Did anyone catch that?"
Thomson: "Looked like a grenade. Better watch out for those."



Blomberg: "Alright, lining up the fucker who dropped the drone."





Blomberg: "He's down."



Thomson: "Thomson here. Moving up the side of the ship."



Thomson: "I got eyes on the alien vessel."
MaxClone2: "Is it another dong?"
Thomson: "Can't tell. It better not be."



Hawkwood: "I see another one! Taking the shot..."





Xantalos: "Finally!"



Doktorov: "I see vun."
Blomberg: "Doc, you only have a pistol."
Doktorov: "Firing..."



Doktorov: "Not...again...dammit."
Xantalos: "Ah, fuck. Somebody get ready to transport that corpse back to base. We're gonna need to fire up the revivinator again."



Cesare: "Something just landed at my fee-"

KA-BOOM



MaxClone: "What the fuck was that?"
Xantalos: "Shit. Everyone who's still with us check in, NOW!"



Hawkwood: "Here. Not a scratch."



Thomson: "Here. Damn, that was close!"



Reggie: "I'm here. Damn, this thing is heavy!"



Broomy: "Red 5, standing by."



MaxClone2: "Here. I gotta get me one of those!"



Manta: "Right here."



Xantalos: "And I make seven. Who'd we lose?"
Manta: "Looks like Doc, Cesare, and Blomberg. We can bring Doc back, but the others...they're gone."
MaxClone2: "SonovaBITCH!"

I'm a little confused about what happened to Doc.

(Also, Yay, Manta is still alive!)

[Xantalos]

Yay I'm alive!
And apparently competent!

[anailater]

And Im alive by the skin of my teeth!

[GentlemanRaptor]

I'm a little confused about what happened to Doc.

(Also, Yay, Manta is still alive!)

Sorry about that. DOSBox decided not to get a screencap of the bullet entering Doktorov's body. He died prior to the explosion. 

Yay I'm alive!
And apparently competent!

And Im alive by the skin of my teeth!

So you are. Frankly, considering the bravery stats of the squad, I'm really surprised that no-one panicked at all.
