Be Obligatory First Act Betrayer That Later Becomes Ally and Team Kill

I don't think you can do that in XCOM, sadly.

Kill weakened enemy.

Doreen will now be controlled by Zanzetkuken!

[escaped lurker]

Shoot the nearest Terran ... eh, wait, right! NON-Terran, while obviously not weeping loss of not-affiliated-with alien-comrade!

Mission Control, can you hear me? Terrans are shooting at kids here, requesting medic and evac for them immediately!

[mastahcheese]

Doreen will now be controlled by Zanzetkuken!

Denise realizes she only has a 15% chance to hit either alien, so she moves up to the Meld canister, and then goes ahead and collects it because the timer above it is distracting! She fires! And she misses horribly!
Doreen decides to be a killjoy, but since she can't target teammates, stays in her completely exposed and vulnerable position and fires at the nearest alien! She also misses horribly!
Landon looks around for a weakened alien, but can't find one that isn't already blown to smithereens! So he runs over to the far taxi to get closer to the one everyone's shooting at!
Sharron moves up to a closer taxi, and notices that either Denise or Doreen accidentally hit the car the alien is using for cover, as it is now on fire! She can't fire on the alien yet, so she uses Overwatch to blast it when it flees the wreckage!

ALIEN TURN

The hidden alien pops out and fires on Doreen and misses!
The other alien, rather than flee the about-to-explode car, fires on Doreen! It finally hits! DOREEN IS --- Somehow critically wounded rather than dead? She'll bleed out in 3 turns if you don't finish the mission fast enough!
Somehow, the car doesn't explode!

Kill weakest alien.

Leeroy Jenkins attack upon the nearest alien

Leeroy Jenkins attack upon the nearest alien

You're laying on the ground, bleeding to death.

[escaped lurker]

Continue assault, while cheering swearing about friendly enemy fire!

Good going, Mike. Just one more and I can turn tails! ...? Which ones? Eh... 4 and 2 I guess...

[mastahcheese]

Status report!
Denise Wheeler = Execute/Dumbo.exe, used up grenade, rifle almost full
Landon Davis = Elephant Parade, rifle almost full
Shannon Griffin = escaped lurker, rifle full
Doreen Gibson = Zanzetkuken The Great, bleeding to death, 3 turns

Landon moves up to the open car door, and, getting frustrated that the game apparently still won't let him shoot, chucks his grenade at the alien! It deals 3 damage!
Shannon, seeing that the car door isn't close enough to allow shooting for some reason, moves up to the other side of the door! It still won't freaking allow her the freaking shot for some freaking reason, so she throws her grenade instead, finishing off the alien!

Denise, seeing as how the GM is bored of waiting for ED, goes with Zan's Leeroy Jenkins move! She climbs up on top of the truck to shoot at the last alien from above! But! In moving on top of the truck, sees TWO more aliens farther up the road! She fires down on the alien and deals 2 damage! It has 2 health left!

ALIEN TURN

Of the two far aliens, one mentally supports the other, and that one fires on Denise, killing her instantly!
The damaged alien overwatches, and Landon panics! He hunkers down and won't move!
Only Shannon can act!

Betray the filthy terrans Onwards, to the red jeep. Or chuck grenade at the truck, whichever works.

Wohoo! Go Team!

[mastahcheese]

Shannon moves up along the flaming jeep, realizing that she's out of grenades!
Landon cries for him momma!

ALIEN TURN

The aliens farther up the road open fire! They miss!
The one hiding behind the truck stays in cover!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Landon can move again.

[Elephant Parade]

Murder aliens.

[escaped lurker]

Shoot the poor elderly woman strange extraterrestrial in front of me. Lament what a monster this undercover mission has made me Err... Cheer, right - if I hit.

"I really should retire on zorblaxia after this gig..."

[Elephant Parade]

Is your tutorial done, yet? Construct reindeer farm!

"It is. For now, anyway. I'll probably pause a battle later to explain magic."

Roll: 6 - 2

You are unable to construct a reindeer farm. However, you recall something about one being on Ye Olde Generic Queste Board, which is located at The Derail Thread.

[mastahcheese]

Head to the place we are already at.


Shannon fires on the alien that shot her! She hits for three damage!
Landon moves up to the Meld container to get at the one around the truck, and overwatches!

ALIEN TURN

The far off alien runs up to the other side of the car and shoots Shannon in the face! She DIES!
Doreen has finally bled out! She DIES!
