Update was starting to get lengthy, so I'm posting it in two parts.  Finish it up later today.

January 18, 1999

: "Shipment of the supplies requested after the last operation are in."
: "Load them up on the Skyranger."

: "The tank has also arrived."
: "Finally!  On the Skyranger with it as well."

January 20, 1999

: "A new soldier's here."
: "Hand me the file."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

: "A few scientists have also arrived."
: "Put two on laser weaponry, and the rest on medkits."

January 21, 1999

: "Sir.  The containment is complete."
: "Excellent."

January 21, 1999

: "Sir, we found one."
: "Where?"

: "US-Canadian border."
: "Send up the Interceptor, we're taking it down."

Operation Cold Cobra

*Within visual range.*
: "Fire at will!"
*Shit!  It's escaping!  Heading west towards the Pacific!*!
: "Interceptor-2, move to try and head it off!"
*I'm over Africa, but okay!*
*Slowing down over Washington!*
: "Engage!"
*It's down!*

: "How long til dawn?"
: "Several hours, but they'll arrive when the sun is starting to come up."
: "Good.  Send in the 'Ranger."

: "God have mercy on their souls."


Sirhc: "Alright boys, let's get this done!  Standard protocol.  Crovid!  HX!  Toss the smoke and flare!"
: Affirmative.
: "Yes, sir."

Sirhc: "No one goes out until the tank's out!  It will absorb a lot more damage from those plasma blasts than any of you!"

: "Well, that was uneventful.  Permission for me and HX move into the fog, sir?"
Sirhc: "Granted.  Everyone else, follow them to the fog!"
: "Ah-What the!-urg-"

: Update record: Crovid.  Status, change from Active to KIA.
Sirhc: "Shit!  Everyone stay on the left side!  Grays can see the right!"

: Two more KIA.
Sirhc: "Mrs. Blue!  Get a flare on that hill so the tank can blast it!"
Mrs. Blue: "Yes, sir!"
Sirhc: "Tank, move up and fire!"
*Coming under shots by plasma.  Not dealing damage effectively.  Shots missed.*
Sirhc: "Fuck.  Everyone remain near or in the Ranger til the tank clears the area out!"

*Two spotted.  One in valley, one on hill.*

Sirhc: "Kill the one on the hill, we'll try to capture the other."
*Firing.  Missed.  Mild damage being taken from sustained fire.  Third detected on nearby hill.*

*Fourth on first hill.*

Sirhc: "Looks like this one was fully intact."
*First alien found.  Firing.  All shots missed.  Sustained fire dealing major damage to tank.*
Sirhc: "Pull back into the fog.  Commander'd kill me if I lost the tank."

Sirhc: "Get some smoke on that second hill.  We can defend that location in a non horrible manner."

"-Ark!"
Sirhc: "Looks like another died."
Ms. Blue: "Sir, I see the first on the hill!"
Sirhc: "Kill it."

Ms. Blue: "It's dead, sir."
Sirhc: "Good.  Everyone else, up the hill."
*I see two grays in the valley.*

Ms. Blue: "Tossing gernade!"
*Landed right at their feet.*

Mr. Red: "Boom."

*They're still alive.*
Sirhc: "No way...No fucking way..."

[Mephansteras]

Damn, it. 

[RAM]

The time has come for Urist McAlien to wipe out the entire team and capture the skyranger single-handedly with one arm blown off...

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

The time has come for Urist McAlien to wipe out the entire team and capture the skyranger single-handedly with one arm blown off...

Again...

Honest thought: Rather than bringing a tank next time, I'll just suit up 4 guys loaded entirely with gernades.  At least they'll hit something.

[Darkening Kaos]

   Two s-caps swapped - Alien containment and a new soldier, right near the beginning.

   Rocket tanks are best when they are on a hill and shooting down - same can be said for soldiers I guess.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Ms. Blue: "Sir, I can see one of them from here."
Sirhc: "Kill it."

Ms. Blue: "Done, sir."

Maxclone III: "Tank's dead."
Sirhc: "Command's gonna kill me..."
Maxclone III: "Sir, we're going to need some smoke up here."
Sirhc: "Here you go."

: Alien sighted.  Firing.

Sirhc: "Good job."
Mr. Red: "Lighting up the next hill."

: Alien sighted.  Firing.

: All shots hit.  Target not down.
Sirhc: "Look for any more.  Let's see if we can wait this one to unconsciousness."
Ms. Blue: "Yes, sirgh-uh."
Sirhc: "Blue!?"

Maxclone III: "Don't worry sir, she's only unconscious."
Sirhc: "Thank god.  HX, throw a flare over there, I want to be able to make sure we can see when it goes down."

: Affirmative.
Maxclone III: "Sir, Ms. Blue is dead."

: Unit Mr. Red has fallen from plasma fire from a fifth source.
Sirhc: "Fuck!  Anyone have a gernade?"
Maxclone III: "I've got one."
Sirhc: "Toss it over there.  Maybe one will remain unconscious."

Maxclone III: "Still alive."
Sirhc: *facepalm* "Are you fucking kidding me."
: Ha.  Ha.  You're aim sucks alien.
Sirhc: "Who put in a taunt device?"

Maxclone III: "Die alien!"
: Killed on first shot.
Sirhc: "Move up.  Let's get a visual on that last one."

Maxclone III: "Wait!  Sarge I think I see-"
Sirhc: "ARGH!"
Maxclone III: "SARGE!"

: Obliterating target.

: Target obliterated.
Maxclone III: "Let's hope that was the last one."


: "How did the mission g-"
Maxclone III: "No aliens captured.  Tank was destroyed.  Sarge is dead.  Only me and HX survived of the remaining."
: Sending full report.

: "Least two of you survived."
Maxclone III: "True."
: True.

[MaximumZero]

Welp. That didn't go as planned, but at least III survived.

[Mephansteras]

There is that.

[RAM]

I was just thinking exactly that. III completely failed to perform according to expectations, we should demand a refund!

[MaximumZero]

III needs a bigger weapon to perform to spec. He's a heavy weapons guy!

[EuchreJack]

I was just thinking exactly that. III completely failed to perform according to expectations, we should demand a refund!

Definitely.  He's still alive while (most) everyone else is dead!  That is the opposite of expectations! 

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

III needs a bigger weapon to perform to spec. He's a heavy weapons guy!

Why does everyone want the heavy weapons?  The only people still alive are using rifles and pistols.  While HX does have a rocket launcher, it has never been used, and the two kills (making it have the highest kill rate) gained by it are from a pistol.

III's doing better than I and II put together.

[tryrar]

Heh, it appears HX is mowing down aliens like a boss, then. If When he inevitably bites it, tho, just reuse the model and slap a Mk-II at the end. Also, he he, taunt module

In all actuality, what I want is laser rifles. Hell, the laser pistol does more damage than the stock slug-thrower.
