Niiice.

Someone should have used the name Boreale, though, in hindsight :P.

     Was my application not up to specification or simply ignored?

Signing on for more madness, because.....why the hell not?

Oh, right... Remuthra's the only one who's seen combat action so far, the rest of the squad are:

There are still a handful of rookies we can rename, I'm personally tempted to name our other Canadian Boreale for the lulz :P

Also, I didn't go for Damage Roulette simply because we are sphess merines and we will not let the RNG decide our fate! :P



Interlude: Research and Engineering updates

Deathwatch Librarian Garroth's personal notes, page 1

It seems our Warp jump damaged quite a bit of our equipment. Surprisingly, our bodies are quite intact, although the shock has yet to wear off completely.


***

Vahlen outlines 3 different research choices to improve XCOM's fighting abilities. Researching the fragments left by the self-destructing xenos weaponry seems to be the best choice, so we persuade her to set her scientists on that project first.

We also order a handful of medikits from Shen's engineering team, who have managed to salvage some of the Space Marine equipment, starting with the stuff from the Apothecarium.

You misspelled seance.  Are possessing Draignean?  Are you actually a ghost in the shell? You have to tell us if you are, that's the rule

Mission 1: Operation Vengeful Chant

Deathwatch Librarian Garroth personal notes, page 2:

I wonder who's been naming our missions.


***

Bradford: We're receiving distress calls from several Council members. The sneaky alien-
Garroth: Xenos.
Bradford: *ahem* The sneaky xenos launched multiple raids so we can't deal with all of them at once.



Garroth: This one. We need to boost our research output so we stand a better chance of actually killing those xenos scum.
Bradford: Squad, get ready. Squaddie Bridger will lead you into combat.


***

The Skyranger lands in a parking lot.

Remuthra: Ugh, more vehicles. No sign of the xenos yet, so stay low and prepare to shoot on sight.
Magee: Gonna run up to cover- crap, xenos detected!
Remuthra: Keep your heads down, lads. I'll clear you a path, then you get to move up.


Brown: One's coming up this way. Gonna try and take it down-


Brown: One down. I've lost sight of the third one.
Han: Providing cover fire as necessary.


Remuthra: Xenos moving up, gonna take it down-


Remuthra: Threat eliminated, stay sharp.
Magee: Moving to new firing position- ok, this isn't the best.


Magee: Gonna fall back a little.
Remuthra: Moving up a little.
Han: Gonna sit here and cover you guys a bit longer.
Brown: Same here.


*crickets chirp*
*footsteps*
Magee: Moving up to that black and white vehicle, will provide cover.
Brown, Han: Advancing.
Remuthra: Ditto.
*low thrum of psychic power*
*more footsteps*
Brown, Magee: Multiple threats detected. Opening fire-


Brown: We'll get 'em next time.
Magee: If I survive, that is. Incoming over here!


Han: Getting into covering position.


Remuthra: Magee, you'd better move. That vehicle's gonna blow.
Magee: Moving.
Brown: Moving to flank. Xenos in my sights.


*blam blam blam*
Brown: Xenos threat down.
Remuthra: Coming up.
*plasma weapons fire*
Brown: That was too close.


Remuthra: That's probably the last of them there. Let's see if we can clear it out fast. Magee, get the door.
*hinges creak*
Remuthra: Frag out!


Magee: DIE XENOS SCUM-
*blam blam blam*


Magee: Kill confirmed. No biosigns remaining.

Spoiler: Debrief Report (click to show/hide)

3 promotions! Magee and Brown are now Squaddies (Sniper and Assault respectively), and Remuthra is now a Corporal. Let me know what sort of abilities you want me to go for on your Heavy :3

Enig, your soldier will be added to the waitlist, unless you don't mind having a female soldier; then again, it might be hard given your choice of soldier name :P

Oh, and one issue which will affect us later is the Second Wave option More than Human, which makes psionics psykers rare.. so maybe Boreale will make an appearance later as a nickname :P
