I really don't know anything about the game, so, umm, cool...

Snipers usually can't move and shoot on the same turn. Getting snapshot lets the sniper do this with a penalty to accuracy (aim). Squadsight means the sniper still can't move and shoot, but can shoot at any enemy that their squad can see, not just the ones they can see.

[Mephansteras]

Name: Cindy "Cinderella" Edana
Gender: Female
Nationality: The Canadian.
Appearance: Hair is grayish black and looks straight and flakyish if possible-- going for a burnt look here, white skin, red armor.

Preferred class: Rookeh.
Preferred weapon: Shotty.
Preferred equipment: Grenade.
Preferred tactics: Collateral is okay.

Ok, she's all yours. Did the best I could on the appearance, although my options were a bit limited. She's been updated in the OP.

Hoping to do the mission tonight, but we'll see how things go.

[Mephansteras]

-- COMMANDER: All right, Man, Ishmael, you're taking Krauss and Everking with you. Bring them back in one piece, along with the scientist.

Man, Ishmael: Yes, sir!

Spoiler: Operation: Cursed Flame (click to show/hide)

-- COMMANDER: Ishmael, you're in command for this mission. Escort the Scientist to the Skyranger. And watch out, I have a feeling those little grey bastards aren't going to make this easy.

Ishmael: Yes sir.

Scientist: I've been tracking the alien flight movements. I think I may be able to figure out where they're coming from, but you've got to get me out of here! I saw a few of those things near the front of the observatory.

Ishmael: Ya, got it.


Ishmael: Got a new alien sir. Dropped off the roof.

-- COMMANDER: The hell is that thing? Whatever, we'll figure it out later. Take it out!



Ishmael: Taken care of!



Ishmael: All right, stay frosty everyone. We're gonna try to move around side of the building, see if we can't avoid a bunch of them.



Everking: Sectoids spotted!



Everking: Got him!



Man: Ugh. Damn, that hurts!



Krauss: Eat lead, scumbag.



Ishmael: Got another one of those creepy suit aliens.



Everking: Woah, those guns of theirs looks nasty. Watch out, guys!



Ishmael: Smoked him.



Man: *Cough*

Everking: Eh, you'll be fine. Tough it out!



Everking: More Sectoids, sir! Tagged him, but he's not down!



Everking: I'll get you yet, ugly!



Everking: Muhahaha!



Ishmael: Almost there, labcoat, don't worry.



Ishmael: The hell, the suits are dropping from the sky!




Ishmael: It is not your truck, suit!




Everking: One more grey!
<Gunfire>
Everking: And down.



Skyranger: Package is on board.

Spoiler: Promotions (click to show/hide)

-- Bradford: Commander, we have a new medal that we can award our troops.




--


All right, vote time! What power do we want to give the medal and what do we want to name it?

[mastahcheese]

I usually wait to see if I end up loosing any countries that would make the aim bonus not as powerful, because the aim is better than the will, usually.
Otherwise I set it to will and keep them around for when I get psychics to buff them.

[RAM]

Heh, Ishmael looks awesome!

I'd go for aim, it sounds less fiddly and makes saving continents more awesome...

[GiglameshDespair]

I'd say AIM.

[Mephansteras]

Ok, Aim it is. Any preferences on who we want to give it to? Keep in mind that it'll only be a +2 AIM bonus at this point, but it will rise over time as we get more continent bonuses.

[GiglameshDespair]

Eh, save it at the moment.

[Mephansteras]

Yeah, no reason to hold up everything for a medal that doesn't do all that much yet.

-- Vahlen: Commander, we have finished our preliminary research into the Alien Biology. We believe that, if you could capture some live specimens, that we could unlock even more secrets from them.

-- COMMANDER: Hmm. I see. What will we need to do that?

-- Vahlen: A facility to contain the alien while we are performing our interrogations. In addition, we'll need some way to subdue an alien in order to bring it in alive. We have a design in mind, if you'd care to authorize that as our next research project.

-- COMMANDER: Yeah, interrogating live aliens is going to be crucial. Do it. Shen, get started on that Containment center!

-- Vahlen: We will get started right away, Commander!
-- Shen: Of course, Commander. By the way, may I suggest that we build another power plant sooner rather than later? We're nearing capacity as it is.

-- COMMANDER: Sounds good.



-- Bradford: Commander, we're getting a request from one of the Council nations for satellite coverage over their area.



-- COMMANDER: Noted.



-- Vahlen: Arc Thrower technology is ready to build, Commander. What shall we focus on next?

-- COMMANDER: Hmm, give me a moment while I go over our current situation.






So, decisions to be made!

First, what tech do we want to research next?

After that, we need to decide which country we want to deploy our satellite over. China is one of the richest options, and is offering 200 credits as a bonus, which is really nice. However, Asia isn't in need of any panic reduction next so if we do put it there we won't be doing anything to help North America or Europe with panic.

Canada and Russia are both worth 100 credits, for what that's worth.

What do you guys want to do?

[Worldmaster27]

I think you should get both autopsies out of the way, then work on Alien Materials. I'm not sure what you should do with the sat.

[Mephansteras]

Updated everyone's characters with their mobility stat. Not entirely sure how it translates, but higher is better.

[Erils]

I'm a heavy? Cool.

Do I get to pick which skill to unlock?

[Mephansteras]

I'm a heavy? Cool.

Do I get to pick which skill to unlock?

Yeah, you'll get to choose whenever there is more than one option.

[GiglameshDespair]

Satellite over china, then use the credits to start producing some more satellites now.

Lets research beam weapons.

[RAM]

Oooooh, research slenderman!
