Oh my, it appears James has decided its better to simply move to Norway so he doesn't have to be involved in the legal shenanigans of getting back into Australia.

Wrong thread?

Not at all

Spoiler: Context if you needed it (click to show/hide)

walnut's volunteer, a James Magee, was from Australia. Then he died in mission 3, and walnut requested that James be revived. Ideally that would mean customising another Aussie soldier. Since I've had none, walnut doesn't mind having James revived as a soldier in a different country..

walnut, I'll get James revived for the next update

Hugo: We still have quite a few squaddies, they got out of the Apothecarion:
Support In Han Zoku, 2 missions, 2 kills (Hanzoku)
Heavy In Cromwell "Redshirt" Jackson, 1 missions, 3 kills (mastahcheese)
Sniper In Darkening "Sam" Kaos, 1 missions, 2 kills (Darkening Kaos)
Sniper In 'Honest' Abe Lincoln, 1 missions, 5 kills (EnigmaticHat)

And since the consensus is to donate some nanofiber vests to the Brits, I'll get on that after today's work is done for me :3

Mission 5: Operation Blinding Daze, Part 1

Bradford's log, recording #<redacted>
Commander Garroth worries me. I know he's from the far future, but sometimes he rambles on and on about very unrelated topics and makes references to things I don't even know about. He also claims to be feeling a strong sense of detachment from the Warp, whatever that is, and also how he's unnerved by Dr Vahlen's attempts to understand the xenos. I don't know how to persuade him that all this research is necessary.

Also, I want to know which medical personnel revived that Australian and disguised him as a Norwegian.

Spoiler: Part 1: A Little Help (click to show/hide)

Shen: We sent the Brits some samples of our nanofiber torso armour. They seem to be happy with it so far, as am I with the new engineers in our team.


*flurry of electronic activity*
Bradford: Increasing reports of UFO activity around these major hotspots. Commander, you'll need to send a team to one of the hotspots to deal with the rising panic.
Garroth: I'd say we try and help Brazil, since they seem to be in the most danger of pulling out of XCOM.


Garroth: Kit up, team. You'll be heading to Brazil for more xenos hunting. Initiate Zoku, you'll have field command for this mission.
Zoku: Ready for battle.

Spoiler: Part 2: Half Blind, Not Dazed (click to show/hide)

Bradford: We're slowly establishing a pattern in these abduction-type operations the xenos are running - they tend to leave the mission area clear of civilians by the time we get there.


Bradford: There's nothing too special about this mission either - clear out all xenos, get back to base.
Zoku: On it.
Darktalon: Seems like some kind of storage facility.


Zoku: No xenos detected yet. Get into some cover in case they do appear.


*xenos chittering*
Zoku: I hear them. Moving up to get a visual on them- there we go.


*scuttling*
Zoku: Dammit, they've vanished again. Stay sharp, they might be back any time now.
Abe, Kaos: Got it.


*scurrying*
Zoku: I see one!
*autogun fire*
Zoku: Foul xenos!
Kaos: Target acquired-
*blam*
Kaos: What foul sorceries-
Abe: Lemme try- *blam*


Abe: Dammit xenos, how are you evading these?
Zoku: Watch my six, I saw one crawling down the back of this transport.


Kaos: Moving up, Zoku- what are those foul beasts?


Zoku: We'll deal with them when we get to them. Clear out the closer threats first.


Zoku: Xenos in my sights.
*autogun fire*


Zoku: Kill confirmed.


Darktalon: A little exposed here, moving to better cover.
*roar of jetpacks*
Abe: Taking aim- *blam*


Abe: Ugh, missed again! Xenos has me locked down here!
*plasma weapons fire*


Kaos: Watch it, Zoku - xenos 3-pack, approaching from those transports.

* crazysheep is emotionally scarred and will post the rest of the mission update tomorrow.

[EnigmaticHat]

Oh no, I'm turning into Oakley.

Speaking of references...  Also youtube Oakley, not stream Oakley

[Mephansteras]

Wow, talk about an ugly start to that mission.

[Hanzoku]

This... might sting a little.

SPACE MARINES! FOR THE EMPEROR! ATTACK!

[WillowLuman]

Grenades?

[crazysheep]

Notes: The mission has already ended. Guess how we fared

Total miss count so far: 6 (4 XCOM misses, 2 alien misses)

And we have a grand total of 1 grenade :S

[Hanzoku]

TPK?

[crazysheep]

TPK?

Read on to find out!

Spoiler: Part 3: Blinded and Dazed (click to show/hide)

Abe: Xenos in my sights, taking the shot-
*blam*


Abe: Take that!
Kaos: Getting into better covering position.


Zoku: Smoke out!


Kaos: I think I see movement!
*stubber fire*


Kaos: Think I nicked it.
Darktalon: Xenos sneaking up behind us!
*autogun fire*


Darktalon: Gotcha!
*scampering*
Abe: Xenos got me flanked here-
*plasma weapon fire*


Abe: avenge me- *gurgle*
*thud*
*more scampering*
Darktalon: help-
*more plasma weapon fire*


Darktalon: Emperor- *thud*
Kaos: Smoke's in the way, can't get a clean shot!


*even more plasma weapon fire*
Kaos: noooo- *thud*


Zoku: HQ, we're taking heavy losses! I don't think I can fall back in time-
*stubber fire*


Zoku: Got one, but I won't make it out alive. Emperor bless the rest of you in our fight-
*yet more plasma weapon fire*
*static*


Big Sky: HQ, all operatives lost! Lifting off now!

Spoiler: After Action Report (click to show/hide)

News Reporter: Glowing lights in the sky have kept the residents of Sao Paulo awake for the last week or so, and it seems that help isn't coming any time soon-

That's a lot of red.

* crazysheep is rather attached to the XCOM meatshields marching into plasma fire

[Hanzoku]
