HOLD ONTO YOUR BUTTS, PEOPLE

[birdy51]

Oh god. Krauss has no neck.

I love it!

[Darkening Kaos]

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

     Leave her as is until she gets promoted, then I'll do something.

     Edit: Also, we need to research Experimental Warfare soon, we will then get access to the Foundry, which gets us all the cool toys, (eg: Tactical Rigging).  Possibly after a few autopsies, but the Foundry takes a while to build, so sooner rather than later.

-- COMMANDER: Centurion, I want a nice clean mission. Capture only if easy, otherwise simply focusing on killing the aliens.

Centurion: Si, Commander. The new guns and armor should help, I think.

-- Shen: We devotely hope so, Leutenant. Good hunting out there!


Everking: Sectoids spotted, back side of the building!


Krauss: This rifle just punched down that wall! These things are good!

Fish: Yeah, but it helps if you hit the alien with it!


Everking: My bullets still work just fine!


Krauss: I'm hit, but the armor stopped it. I'm, I'm ok!


Fish: Floating bastards coming in, left side!


Centurion: Right side, too! We're pinned!


Everking: I think...yes! I can can get them!


<*BOOM*>

Everking: That'll even the odds!


Centurion: I'll mop up this side, the rest of you take out the floaters!


Krauss: We're too exposed, throwing smoke!


Centurion: Thanks, Krauss!


Fish: They're moving around the side to flank us!
<*MISS*>
Fish: Damn it!


Everking: Woah! Melted the armor but...I think I'm ok!


Fish: OW!! DAMN IT!! Why the *$@# were there only three suits!?


Everking: Tagged one, but it's not down!


Fish: EAT LEAD, SCUMBAG!!! <*BLAM*>


Krauss: Last floater down!

Centurion: Moving up to take out the sectoid.

Centurion: Damn, more floaters back here!!


Centurion: Eat it, grey!


Centurion: You too, flyer!


Floater: <HOWL>
Centurion: AUUUGH! Thank GOD for Armor!!


Centurion: And lasers!!


Centurion: Ok, Commander. All clear.

Spoiler: Promotions (click to show/hide)

That went well! Three promotions, and because of the armor Krauss and Everking aren't even in sick bay!


Fish gets the option of Disabling Shot (only does 2 damage, but forces the enemy to reload) or Bring-em On (Higher crit damage)


Krauss earns his nickname, and can pick between Covering Fire (Overwatch can fire on enemies who shoot as well, and shoots first) or an Extra Smoke grenade.


Everking can either take Damn Good Ground (+10 Aim and Defense when above aliens) or the Ability to get Three uses out of Medkits. (You can be a support after all!)


We now have two Escort medals available.

Centurion: Eat it, grey!

    You're awesome, Meph, that made my morning.

[Worldmaster27]

NOOOO!! I'M NOT THE HIGHEST RANK ANYMORE!
So far I think I have the best squad lead record. No teammate deaths IIRC.

With the extra cash we should get another set of armor or two.

[birdy51]

Doc Krauss... Has a nice ring to it.

Not sure whether to invest in more smokes or the ability to shoot anything that shoots at the team. What do my teammates suggest?

[Worldmaster27]

I think shooting first would be great, and I don't think we've every really had a need for two smokescreens in a single mission.

[RAM]

Fish: They're moving around the side to flank us!
<*MISS*>
Fish: Damn it!

My motto returns again...
Maybe there is a typo, and I am actually a Piper from the Xcom band instead of a sniper...
The odds of me actually critting anything seem sufficiently remote that Disabling Shot wins. I could see the critical damage being invaluable if it was stacked with a mess of other stuff, while disabling is just its own thing, but really, disabling is more in-character anyway, so lock that in...

[GiglameshDespair]

Mint green, why not.

[birdy51]

Alright. I'll just go with preemptive shooting. The more enemies that can be shot the moment they get out over cover to shoot us the better.

[GiglameshDespair]

Yeah, shoot more.

[Powder Miner]

I would like to preemptively apply for next mission.

[Mephansteras]

Alright. I'll just go with preemptive shooting. The more enemies that can be shot the moment they get out over cover to shoot us the better.

Yeah, I'm fond of covering fire. Mostly because it solves the problem of the AI carefully walking just into range when you're on overwatch and opening fire without your guys getting to do anything. It's what took Kaos I out on her first mission, despite her being on overwatch waiting for the sectoid.

[Mephansteras]

-- Bradford: Commander, radar has picked up a Small Scout over Japan.
-- COMMANDER: Launch interceptors! Whatever they're up to, I want it stopped!


-- Bradford: Interceptor out!


Interceptor: Alien craft is down, sir. We sustained fairly heavy damage, but mission is accomplished.

-- Bradford: Roger that. Good work up there!
Interceptor: Returning to base.


-- COMMANDER: Bradford, get the troops ready. We're going to have to secure that craft before the aliens have a chance to recover it.


So...Our blue Irish girl wants to go. Who else should we send? Centurion and Fish are still in Sick Bay (hasn't even been a day, yet), that just leaves Sparrow, Everking, and Farraige as non-rookies. And Everking hasn't picked his next skill yet.

Also, I made some more armor for the troops, so everyone will have at least Carapace armor for this mission.

Remember, if you have a specific Carapace look you want let me know. Otherwise I'll just pick something for you.
