The squad lands near a bar and grill. Looks like closing time came early tonight.
Sounds like the aliens are close by
Mutons dropping off the roof! One of them doesn't make it alive, and another is injured.
The troops cut them down quickly
There is still a floater up on the roof, though. After a few tense moments waiting for it to come down, Groovester goes up to find it. Instead he finds a fresh pack of them!
He tests out our new scatter laser, and is quite pleased with the results.
Devil rushes up and flashbangs another two
With no one else able to get up into cover, we get them some smoke cover and ready for any flank attempts.
One of them launches itself for a flank attack on our ground troops
While another of them gets in a nasty hit on Devil despite the smoke cover. The other misses
With not enough cover to fight in we go for all out attack and hope for the best. Kaos, Underhill and Rickenbacker take out the one on the ground
Groovester deals a grevious wound to the flying one, but can't quite take it out
Devil, meanwhile, hops off the roof to patch herself up while Kawalec moves up to take her place and pin the surviving floaters with overwatch
Her vigilance is rewarded when the missing floater from earlier charges in from the side. She gets in a good hit, but can't quite kill it off.
The two heavily injured floaters retreat backwards, while the last one is content to keep us pinned with overwatch of its own
Groovester takes that one out with a well placed grenade
And Rickenbacker takes out one that had dropped to the ground
With only one remaining enemy, Kaos suppresses it while Devil moves up and provides another smoke screen
Which lets the two of them get Devil her revenge
After a brief respite to reload and regroup on the roof, the team starts moving towards sounds on the other side of the bar
Sectoids! They scatter amongst the parked cars.
Kaos provides some holotargeting for the team
And the Sectoids are quickly dispatched
More sounds of alien activity off to the left
The team moves up carefully along the roof until we spot a group of Thin Men lurking ahead. The haven't seen us yet, so we prepare an option.
As soon as they move forward we open fire, taking out one of them and forcing the others to scatter for cover
Kaos once again uses suppression to keep them down and provide holotargeting for the team
The team focus fires one of them down
And Underhill gets in a solid hit on another
The lone surviving Thin Man retaliates with acid. Kawalec and Devil try to stop it, but can't land hits before being enveloped by the cloud.
Rickenbacker puts it down for good.
And with that, the area is secure. A good solid mission all around.
