: "We're going to need a new officer to be in command of the soldiers."
: "Promote Maxclone III. I'm not certain how much they put int having HX be inventive, but if reports show me wrong, I'll promote it, if it's still alive."
: "It shall be done."

: "Sir, we have a report from Germany. Berlin is under attack by the aliens."
: "Fuck...Send our condolences to the German government. We lost too many troops in the previous mission to make any attempts to break the alien assault anything more than a five second suicide mission. Send them the data we have on effective weaponry so that they can deploy their own military effectively."

: "The Germans have given us details on the mission they undertook."
: "What do they say?"
: "Their forces encountered a miniaturized version of one of the UFOs. Has a scaled down armament, might be the gray's version of a tank. Reports say that it took multiple rocket launches in order to take one down."
: "That's not good. How many dead?"
: "Several dozen civilians and over one hundred of the one hundred forty soldiers sent."
: "Germany's not going to be liking us too much at the monthly review. I don't think that many will like us at all, really."
January 24, 1999
: "Sir, the research into the creation of effective laser pistols is completed."
: "Transfer the personnel to making a stronger version and get the engineers making 2 of them so that we can equip HX and Maxclone. We don't want to lose our most knowledgeable soldiers on the next mission."
: "Projected time is roughly two and a half days til completion."
January 25, 1999
: "The new soldiers have arrived."
: "Show me their files."
: "...With that first one, I am
so glad that we are immune to the ethics committee...Make sure they don't do that again, will you?"
: "Of course, sir."
: "The new radar installation is up as well."
: "Looks like catching them from further off will be easier than before. This being a good or bad thing has yet to be decided."
January 26, 1999
: "The first of the Laser Pistols have been manufactured."
: "Give them to HX and Max and keep producing more."

: "It's been disturbingly quiet around here..."

: "The radar has found one up near Canada."
: "Looks like we underestimated the range of that thing."
: "Interceptor caught it around Texas."
*Fucker shot my ship too! Closing in. Looks like its trying to escape!*
: "Try to catch up."
*Its slowing down over the Pacific. Trying again. Nope, it's running, again...least its heading towards shore again.*
*Out over the Caribbean just north of Haiti. Let's see if third time's the charm, eh? Firing. It's down.*
: "Salvagable?"
*Water's rushing in, so I doubt it."
: "Return to base, then. We'll let the grays sleep with the fishes."

: "Well then, let's see how badly they decided to fuck us...over?"
: "What is it?"
: "We've had a funding
increase by over $60,000..."
: "...Can you get me a list of base personel?"
: "Why?"
: "I want to buy a glass of fine wine for everyone in the base who has been here a month or has gone on a mission and is actually able to have a drink without circuits sparking up."
Mini-update! Thinking of opening up another base because someone decided I was actually doing a good job for some reason. How I did this is beyond me.
