July 28th 2084, 5.20PMAs the dropship heads to the crash site (with Kickingbottom, Luke, MaxClone Beta, Barry, Roy, S1.1 and Edgar onboard), another enemy fighter is spotted, this time to the west. Our fighters have just enough fuel to go give it a hard time and keep it away from the dropship, though they probably won’t get there until the ship has landed, carried out our ground mission and started making its way back to base.
7.15PM, Russian/Kazakh border Tiruin drops the troops off a short distance away from some kind of border control bunker that local security say is where the Xeno’s have holed up, and they approach on foot.
The squad assume a breach formation, ready for the troops armed with close combat weapons to burst through the door, supported from behind with those carrying rifles.
Before the squad makes its move, a Shevaar lobs some wildly inaccurate plasma way short of the squad from up on the roof above. S1.1 misses in her effort to take it down, so MaxClone Beta shreds it with a grenade slammed into its chest.
Now you see it...
Now you dont!
That taken care of, Luke kicks the door open...
... to find 3 aliens in the bunker, one on the ground near the door, and two Taman wearing a new form of combat uniform on a raised balcony.
Is this some kind of uniform indicating a high rank, or some kind of protective armour? Either way, Luke opens fire...
... blowing the legs clean off the Shevaar, but taking a skim hit in the arms in return. He falls back to Edgar for treatment.
Kickingbottom repeats the trick, blasting the lower legs off one of the Taman on the balcony.
Disarcade sprays HMG fire all around where the final alien is hiding, scoring a light wound in its back.Roy too lands a hit on the back of the alien, but this appears not to penetrate the aliens clothing, suggesting that it is indeed some kind of advanced armour.
Barry slides the door shut as everyone repositions ready for a second go at the door. Suddenly, from inside, a shout of what appears to be alien rage can be heard. On Kickingbottom’s signal, Barry slides the door open again as she rolls through. On its way to the door in a rush is the wounded Taman. She dispatches it with a burst of plasma fire to its midriff. Area clear.
Take aim
Fire!
A successful mission. One light wound, and some interesting new alien tech in the form of the first alien armour we have seen since the start of the war. The scout craft wreckage is hardly worth recovering with the number of Harvester class craft we have awaiting dismantling so it is sold off to the UA.
Meanwhile, Haspen has engaged the enemy fighter and shot it down over the Egypt/Libya border. A second combat team is briefed and ready to board the transport the second it arrives back at base.
