The squad sets down in heavy forest and begins to look for the alien craft
Moving off to the right to hunt down roving patrols before heading in towards the ship, the group spots a Meld canister
It seems the aliens are not far off
Omega throws out a scanner to see what's nearby, revealing a group of Thin Men hiding down behind the hill
Not wanting the canister to self destruct, Omega moves up to grab it. The Thin Men, predictably, scatter at the sight.
Villiams manages to get in a shot on one as they move to engage, but can't quite take it out
The Thin Men retaliate with Acid on Omega and Villiams
Villiams ignores the acid long enough to take out the one that spat at her, suffering some armor damage in the process.
Underhill, meanwhile, lands a solid hit on another from her vantage point in the back. Not enough to kill, sadly.
Tiruin scores a hit on one of the others herself
Badly damaged, most of the thin men just sit back defensively. The lone healthy one tries a shot, but missed
While Omega and Villiams are keeping their heads down and getting the acid off their armor, the rest of the squad works on cleaning up the remaining aliens.
Krauss, Tiruin, and McSheb work together to take down another
The last Thin Man tries to flee
He doesn't get far
The squad regroups, reloads, and moves forward. Sounds of alien activity abound. Mostly sectoids, but also something...heavier.
We reach the ship without encountering any further enemies. Time to swing around and clear the left side before trying to breach the craft
No such luck. A mixed patrol comes across us right before we start heading around to the hill. Two floaters, a sectoid, and one of those brutes
McSheb kicks off the fight with a bang
Allowing Underhill to take care of a Floater for us
Krauss suppresses the big guy, who returns fire without hitting her
The blasted little sectoid gets in a hard hit on Omega. He falls back to get out of the line of fire.
Villiams gets in a good hit of her own on the brute. It screams out at her, but she takes the fury in stride
Krauss keeps it under control for us
All the noise has drawn in some Seekers from within the ship, though. Bad timing and worse angle!
McSheb grazes one, but the robotic monstrosities are still coming in
We can't stay here, but Villiams is pinned down!
Underhill gives the brute something else to think about
Which allows the rest of the squad to fall back so the McSheb can fire a rocket on the Seekers
It's a solid hit, but not enough to take them all out
The seekers take their revenge
The damaged one goes down
But the other ignores Krauss' suppressive fire to swoop in on McSheb and grab him. The remaining floater moves up along left flank to try and pincer the squad.
Villiams' precise shooting gets the Seeker off of McSheb without hitting him in the process
And Krauss and Underhill provide some much needed medical care to get Omega and McSheb back on their feet
Tiruin finishes off the Seeker and sets up to deal with the Floater
Unfortunately, it dodges her attack and lands a solid blow on Omega, undoing all of Krauss' work
Villiams and Tiruin team up on it, finally taking it out
Just the sectoid left from that group, scuttling around out there
We find it just outside the alien vessel. It is quickly dispatched.
The squad prepares to breech the main entrance
But before that happens, another patrol group of sectoids and drones moves in from the right
The first drone to round the corner is obliterated by Krauss' autolaser
And Villiams gives a sectoid a nasty burn
While Tiruin slices off a few bits of Drone
The drone flees around behind the ship
And the Sectoid and Villiams trade fire for a little while. Underhill puts a stop to it.
No sign of the other sectoid, but we can here him in there somewhere. Gathering his courage, no doubt.
His courage was rewarded with a face full of laser beams.
Tiruin and Omega spend a little while searching for the lost drone while the squad gets ready to assault the Outsiders
But it seems to have fled for now, so the team moves in to flush out the ship's pilots. They are found a bit quicker than we'd have liked
The squad moves to a defensive position as the aliens attack
Tiruin shows some crack shooting skills, blasting one of them twice despite its heavy cover
Allowing Krauss to flush it to the underworld
The other Outsider moves up and fires on Villiams at close range, but can't see her through the smoke
Villiams and Tiruin have no such problems hitting it
All that's left is to find the lone drone
We finally put it out of its misery
With that, the craft is secured. An excellent addition to our resoruces!
