The squad sets down an immediately sees a disturbing sight. Dead animals in the process of being dragged towards the ship.
Almost immediately a group of thin men patrols into us
Toaster gets off a good hit on one and they scatter off to find cover
Maelle and Kaos take two of them out quickly
While Phobos and Jim work together to take out another
As we prepare to take out the last Thin Man, support comes in down over the roof. A pack of drones trying to cut us off!
Grey and Greene take two out as they come in
And Toaster dodges an attack by the last Thin Man
Grey and Maelle take out the last drone
And the rest of the team works on trying to take out a very stubborn thin man
With Kaos keeping him suppressed, he's little threat to us as Jim moves around to try and get a flank.
Terror descends from the roof of the alien vessel. That wasn't just a group of Drones!!
Phobos tags it as it comes at us, but barely manages to do more than dent its thick armor
The mechanical monster blasts Greene with a power cannon. He is badly injured, but manages to stay on his feet.
Maelle cracks through its defenses with a skillful shot
Greene falls back, and with the cyberdisk out of reach we keep the Thin Man suppressed and wait for the aliens to attack
The Thin Man continues to fail
And the cyberdisk is destroyed by Phobos and Grey as it moves in to attack
Jim moves in and splatters the last alien, giving us some time to regroup.
Grey patches up Greene while everyone reloads and prepares to move in on the ship
The aliens give us little time to rest, however. A new group, this time a Muton and some Floaters.
Jim moves around and grabs the meld while working to flank the new threat
The rest of the squad takes out the lead floater and prepares for the rest of the aliens to attack
Fortunately the aliens just scrambled for cover. Jim wounds them a bit with some well thrown explosives
Greene shows him up a bit, although Jim later complains that rockets are cheating
Maelle slams the Muton but can't quite kill it
The aliens don't let up, however, and a group of Seekers moves in to engage the troops
Toaster shows off his own explosive skills
Which in turn lets Phobos showcase her crack shooting skills to take out two of them
Injured and frightened, the aliens fall back
It does the muton little good
Kaos moves up to engage and skillfully dodges an attack by the seeker
Her counter attack is far more successful
With another seeker cloaked nearby, Remalle moves up and the squad watches for any sign of it
It pounces on Jim, and despite a barrage of laser fire the alien machine latches on
Only to be quickly dispatched
Jim takes his fury out on the floater with a hail of bullets from his pistol
With all of the known alien contacts taken out, the squad regroups. More sounds can be heard from within the ship.
Moving up the next wave of aliens is detected. The Outsiders quickly move into cover once discovered
With half the squad in a bad position to fight them, Grey flashbangs the closest to keep things manageable
Phobos throws out a smoke to give us more cover
The smoke screen helps keep us from harm
And a Thin Man joins the party
Greene throws a rocket into the room, but other than shredding an Outsider it doesn't manage to do much
Maelle, however, makes good use of the shred to blast the outsider into shards
The Thin Man changes position and Acids Maelle to keep the sniper out of action
Greene decides that the situation is now worth using his last normal rocket and he blows a giant hole in the ship. And the remaining outsider.
Grey follows up with a killing blow on the outsider
And Phobos moves up to flank the Thin Man from above
The squad can hear more movement nearby, and starts moving carefully through the ship
The sounds are coming from outside the ship. The squad splits up to pincer whatever is out there
And after all that careful movement, it's just a pack of drones. No cyberdisk
this time.
Toaster frags them with a single grenade, and the ship is ours!
An excellent mission all around, and a mostly intact large ship is now in our possession!
Just look at everything we salvaged off that thing
