Sorry for the delay, everyone, my time is a scarce commodity these days (I'm getting married in...18 days). I'm hoping I'll get a chance to play this mission Wednesday.

Congratulations! Wish you all the best.

[Mephansteras]

Thanks, everyone!

-- COMMANDER: Centurion, I want you to take point on this. Take our rookies here and show them the ropes. No dangerous stunts, no risks. Bring them back alive, that is your top priority.

Centurion: Si, Commander!

Spoiler: Operation Dark Calm (click to show/hide)

Centurion: Ok, listen up! Mathur, stick by me, we're both short range so we're gonna have to be in front. Jackson, Farraige, you're fire support.


Centurion: We got seekers! Everyone, eyes sharp and watch for movement!


Centurion: Mathur, it's on you! Duck!

Jackson: It's down. Don't see the other.

Centurion: Scared off for now. It'll strike in a bit, but we might as well move forward.




Mathur: Farraige, behind you!

Centurion: Got it! All right, that's both of them, so keep moving. But be careful, this ravine worries me.


Mathur: Hearing movement out there....

Centurion: Eyes sharp, everyone!

Farraige: I see one of those artifacts, but we'd have to run if we wanted to grab it.

Centurion: No! Too risky. We only grab one if it is safe...and that looks like a trap to me.


Mathur: So, go find the patrol or search the ship?

Centurion: The ship. Maybe we can find the other artifact before it is lost.


Jackson: Sorry, Leutenant, no dice. We're just gonna miss it.

Centurion: Damn. Ok, let's clear out the ship. Jackson, keep an eye behind us, I don't want any aliens jumping us while we're inside!

Jackson: Yes, ma'am.


Mathur: Energy being spotted in the control room!

Centurion: Throw a grenade to weaken it and I'll stun!

<*BOOM*>


Centurion: Stunning!

Alien: <Brandishes Light Plasma Rifle>

Centurion: Oh, God! Shoot it!


Farraige: <*BLAM*> Got your back Leutenant, don't worry!

Centurion: Thanks, girl!

Centurion: All right, let's sweep the ship and then go find those ones outside.







Jackson: This is way too quiet.

Farraige: Don't worry, Jackson, we'll find them!




Farraige: See! I found them!


Centurion: Tagged one, but it's still up!


Jackson: They're moving up!



Farraige: I'm glad these walls are tough! That coulda been bad!


Farraige: Ha! Ya don't like it much when I fire back, do ya?
Sectoid: <*SPLAT*>
Sectoid: <*Brain Fries*>


Mathur: Tagged the last one!

Centurion: Let's try to nab it. Cover me while I move up!







Centurion: Got him!


Farraige: That's it, Commander. Ship is secure!

Spoiler: Promotions (click to show/hide)

The Ladies did all the hard work this time. Or at least stole all the kills. But no casualties, so I'm happy, even if we failed all of my secondary objectives.

[Mephansteras]

Selling off some junk to get enough money to do something. Not a bad haul!


Sadly, not enough Power for the Officer Training school, which is what I really want. We need more boots on the ground!


And the route to the Power column is blocked off. Bother. So we're excavating it out and we'll build a power plant once that is done.


Short update, but I'm very glad I got a chance to play for a bit. I've been wanting to do this for days!

[Worldmaster27]

Awesome, I'm glad you're back! 
Anyways, solid run. Too bad we didn't get the meld, but I don't think we are in much of a need for it now.
Something to note - I was expecting Mathur to rank up into a sniper, after you gave him the shottie. 

[Mephansteras]

Hehe. Well, there is still time for him to do that.






The sectoid is interrogated. It does not survive the experience. However, we have learned something rather interesting.

There is a link between the sectoids and the energy creatures. Dr. Vahlen would like us to put a priority on capturing one of the energy beings alive. Hopefully the next one will not be quite so resistant to the stun gun.




In any case we now have a research boost for any further beam weapons (lasers). That'll be handy.



What shall we research next? Lots of options open. I've defaulted us to Alien materials, since they're quick and a good thing to have just in case I accidentally advance time without going back to the research screen.

Feel free to ask if you have questions about any of it.

[GiglameshDespair]

Ohh, get heavy lasers and lasers for the fighter craft as well.

[Yoink]

I think we should research the plasma pistol, personally.
If we go outfitting everything with laser cannons etc., it's just going to cost a lot more in the long run.
inb4 I regret these words as the team gets wiped out in a terror mission or something...

[Darkening Kaos]

     Carapace Armour next.

[GiglameshDespair]

If we do go armour, skip carapace straight onto skeleton.

[Darkening Kaos]

     Carapace is a pre-req to study Skeleton.

[Worldmaster27]

Go for armor!

[GiglameshDespair]

     Carapace is a pre-req to study Skeleton.

Yes, but you don't have to actually build any, which is what i meant.
