Also voting for Improved Ballistic Weapons. Because poison boolet.

Spoiler: Alien Biochemistry Successfully researched! (click to show/hide)

Our basic research on cadavers acquired from the Canadian Government indicates a biological structure unlike that of any earth creature. While anyone could have guessed, there are still remarkable similarities to earth animals, and as such, we quickly whipped up a hemotoxic venom. Unfortunately, this venom is not thermally stable, and will not survive being fired from a gun. Further research is required. We have also prototyped a delivery system.
Unlocked: Envenomed Arrows.
Unlocked: Bow.

I wonder what the guy who prototyped it was thinking.
"Ha ha! I can 'invent' the bow, and get all the promotions and pay raises that come with inventing a weapon to fight the aliens with!"

Continue advancing Alien Biochemistry, partly because awesome, partly because that's the logical way to develop a version of the venom that is more thermally stable.

Make medkits.

This isn't on the list.  We probably need some more corpses for that.

+1.

[Wrex]

Also produce a single bow and twenty envenomed arrows.

Expense Approved. What are you sending back to the storage rooms?

[Toaster]

So one person can just requisition something and it's just a simple up/down?  If so, I request a single Common Sentinel Scout Walker, because hell yeah.  40% odds isn't too bad!

Unfortunately, the X-COM Funding council has denied your request for a Common-Quality Scout Walker.

[Toaster]

Damn.  Worth the try.

I will send back the Autopistol and all five clips I have for it.

Oh. Darn.
In that case:

We need more war crimes. MORE.

Research that.

 The Cavemen bow and arrow'd them to death. Why not us?

Weren't bows not invented until well after we figured out living in non-cave things? Like, when we were primitive tribesmen and not cavemen?

It was a poorly implimented TF2 Reference.

Prof. Jones will resubmit a request for improved ballistic weapons, preferally some kind of coilgun or railgun family of weapons to deliver envenomed rounds or darts without the need for traditional firearm propellant damaging the serum.

Engineering officer Green Beard Reporting for Duty
I suggest The research of advanced vehicles as well as the production of  2 hand cannons and one flamer

Request approved.

Spoiler: Improved Chemistry Researched! (click to show/hide)

 Our increased research into Alien Biochemistry has granted us with a means of producing new and innovative ways to cause horrible death in our enemies. We've also purchased the schematics to some grenade launchers. Further research is impossible without cadavers- the tissue samples from government officials just isn't enough.
Unlocked: Bloodfire Grenade
Unlocked: Krak Grenade
Unlocked: Grenade Launcher

[GreatWyrmGold]

I suggest a two-part research project of "Medi-kit" and "How to Properly Curse the Government's Lack of Alien Tissue Samples," especially since the results of the latter could be modified to apply to battlefield situations.
