Shouldn't we do some vessel research too though? Our air game hasn't been so hot lately. Our pilots could use a hand.

The UFO Analysis gives a 10% damage boost against that particular aircraft. Significant, but by no means critical.

Alright I can't help it anymore >.>
I've a...thing against the science personnel of XCOM--they're lacking full body PPE (personal protective equipment). The face and hand region are uncovered, and the lab coat is...well, not even buttoned up for most of the people. :-\

Though maybe that's just me and my viewpoint (with deadly medical diseases-ish field). Unsure how it is there...in the general scenario including mechanical and weapons engineering.

I'm twisting over the little details. :'(

A soldier update:


Vahlen and her team begin research into xenoneurology. Hopefully some live specimens will yield good results.


An alien scout ship is spotted heading for France.


Fighters are launched. It outruns the first interceptor, but is quickly downed by laser fire from the second. With no signs of life at the crash site, we earn a boost in funds from the council.




The laser cannons are truly showing their worth


THe hanger situation in Europe is looking a bit grim, however


In good new, we get another laser cannon finished and start the process of converting a fighter to use it



It seems that scout managed to relay the position of one of our satellites before it went down. We send up our only functional European fighter to try and at least scare it off


The lasers prove more than a match!



This one crash lands. Time to send in a clean up crew!


Since it is a small crash, we use the opportunity to train up some of our lower ranked troops.




The mission lived up to its name. Brutal indeed, with lucky shots from a Muton and Outsider taking down our Rocketeer and killing the Engineer. Better armor is becoming a higher priority.


We did get some valuable combat experience, however, and some good resources from the crashed fighter.


With the middle of the month drawing close, I order Bradford to initial an Intel scan.


Exalt activity is detected in Japan. Time to send in an operative!


Zhang is selected as the most suitable candidate, and heads off to thwart Exalt yet again

Xenoneurology seems to be the most useful, although we could use better body armour later on. Are we building a Foundry soon?

We already have a foundry, I think. Do you mean another one?

No rest for us. Almost immediately after we send Zhang off we get word that the aliens are attacking Australia



Intel reports moderate alien presence. A suitable team is assembled.


So begins, Operation Morbid Palace

Yeah! Look at me kill all those aliens! Yeah, get 'em! Did you see me dodge all those overwatches? Oh my gosh, so cool!

Let's change the nickname to Bot. It will be especially appropriate if I survive to MEChood.

I saw that you hooked me up with a different red shirt this time. But then I saw that the mission was in Australia, and I just got this really really bad feeling...
 Still, the rest of the squad got through with nary a scratch, so that is something...

Australia requests some of the weapon fragments we recovered after the last mission. Since they are offering an Engineer, we accept.


A little while passes, and we get another Laser Cannon finished. We begin fitting it to one of the African interceptors



Excited by their initial findings, Australia asks for more weapon fragments


We get word that a Raider is on some sort of mission over Europe. We send up our only functioning European interceptor. Hopefully we can at least drive it off.


We can't take it down, but we do manage to do significant damage to it. Hopefully that will be enough.


The next day we receive word that the aliens are striking against Mexico


Rickenbacker assembles a team, and our troops head off to kill some more aliens!


Next up, Operation Enduring Dream
