[Darkening Kaos]

     I'll take the Brazilian, thanks.

     Also, Meld is going to go fast, so let's finish it, then go on with something else......Precison Lasers so our Snipers can be more effective.  Our beam research bonus should push it through faster.

[Yoink]

Right, new guy!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Charles Whitman
Gender: Male
Appearance: This, possibly with the classic X-Com hairdo.

Preferred class: Rookie - USA- Male - Will 29 - Aim 75 - Mob 11 (Hoping for sniper!)
Preferred weapon: A long-gun of some description.
Preferred equipment: Nano-fibre vest, if we have any.
Preferred tactics: Get to a good vantage point where possible, take out enemies victims from cover.

Claiming that american south korean rookie.

[Worldmaster27]

I think you should get all the autopsies done. They won't take too long and they can be useful.

[Mephansteras]

Got the newly claimed rookies in:






Kaos, Yoink, did you want to customize your soldier looks any further?

Gilgamesh, do you want the American girl? Also, any preferences on looks of the next Rickenbacker?

[GiglameshDespair]

American girl is fine.

Green armour, same helmet?

[Mephansteras]

American girl is fine.

Green armour, same helmet?

Sure. Mint green she has now or did you want a different shade? Options are Mint, Forest, and Swamp.

Also, since I don't have many votes for tech we'll do Meld and then progress to the Autopsies.

[Mephansteras]

Of course, the Aliens don't give us long to do much of anything.


Our options are:
  Mexico: 4 Scientists - Difficult
  France: §200 - Very Difficult
  Egypt: Support Sergant - Very Difficult
 
Panic in North America is pretty much nil. South Africa is rather upset, as is much of Europe.

So, where are we going and who are we sending?

Also: Do we want to build any Nano-Vests or Carapace Armor suits before we go on this mission? We have exactly enough money for 3 suits of armor.

[darkpaladin109]

Armor for our guys sounds good to me.
Egypt sounds good since we can get another recruit if we complete the mission.

[Worldmaster27]

Get the armor for the rookies. I'm good for either Egypt or France.

[Yoink]

Hmm... actually I think I might ditch that hairdo for a normal crewcut, when possible. I'd forgotten just how silly it was.

As for the mission, hmm. None of those countries are overly close to panicking, but according to the screenshots on the last page a lot of Europe is pretty upset. Am I correct in remembering that sometimes a whole continent's panic level can rise if you ignore alien activity there?

Armor sounds good to me, I guess. I still say we should be researching plasma weapons, but alas.
If that's true, we might want to do France- but then again, they only give us $200. Rewards-wise I think we'd be better off with Egypt. Buut, if that would risk panicking half of Europe, might end badly.

Edit: as for who to send, I dunno. I think we'll probably need at least a couple of experienced soldiers? *shrug*
Send Whitman if you want. I don't mind.

Sure, I can give him a haircut more like the picture. You cool with his armor colors?

And, yes, if we ignore an abduction that particular country gets really unhappy and all of the others get a little unhappy. I think it's only 1 point, though, so both South Africa and most of Europe should only go to Orange and not Red.

[Yoink]

Yeah, the armour's fine. 

If three countries go to orange at once, though, it could cause future problems.
We can always chuck a satellite up over South Africa, after all.
I'm happy to send Whitman if there's a dearth of volunteers, but I think me might need some experienced folks for this.

[darkpaladin109]

I agree with Yoink, we should send experienced people to the mission first, unless we really don't have many experienced people.
Also, going to France seems to be a better option to me now, since Europe's already upset, so we should deal with that, and fast.

[Mephansteras]

Ok, that's enough votes for me to go!

We have 3 suits of Carapace Armor built. Here is Centurion modeling our 4 armor looks:

With that, I get us kitted out and we begin.
