X-COM: Terror from the Deep Intro - Watch this!Salvage Chief's Log: January 1st, 2040
We lost a good man yesterday. Jake went out in one of our Barracudas to investigate a ship sinking under mysterious circumstances, and we lost
all contact with him afterwards. He will be missed. However, his death is only the latest in mysterious sea-related incidents. Apparently the
aliens from 1999 sent a message to their buddies under the sea, and now they're attacking us. As the last remaining outpost of X-COM, we have
been authorized to combat the aliens in any way we see fit. I don't know how, though. We don't have any veterans, and poor Hawkwood is terrified
of Chryssalids. God, I hope they can't breathe underwater. Anyway, we're working out of this base:
First order of business is to purchase a most useful thing: a Coelacanth, which is basically an underwater tank, and its ammo, 30 rounds.
I also purchased two Thermal Tasers. Basically, they freeze hostile aliens for transport back to Reqiuem, our home away from home in the Bermuda Triangle. However, as the name suggests, they are melee only. Fortunately Cesare enjoys hitting things with sticks, so these should do fine.
Oh, one more purchase not pictured-High Explosive ammo for Xantalos' Hydro-Jet Cannon. That bad boy fires full auto magnesium fuelled mini-torpedoes. Should be a lot of fun for him when x-ray gets in his sights.
Next up is base expansion.
This was designed to be a salvage facility, not a base of operations for a strike team, so we need some new facilities. I ordered living space and storage to be constructed. In addition, I ordered an alien containment facility constructed. We're gonna need a place to interrogate aliens, after all. Finally, on the far right, is the longer-range sonar that I ordered. That will enable X-COM to detect aliens in a wider range around the base.
Up next is research. Our scientists have leads on some more powerful weapon technology, which they've dubbed "Gauss Technology".
Apparently it will fire accelerated particle beams at the enemy. Well, anything that can kill them better is good in my book.
Oh good, shipments have arrived!
The Coelacanth and its ammo arrived as well.
Research complete!
