[Okenido]

If I'm not in, I'd like to join.

[Aqizzar]

Awesomeness

Is that a request for a character, Aqizzar?

You're goddamn right it is.  You should remember what weapon I want.

The one that makes lots of explosions.

[mainiac]

Name one of the grunts Bob Sagat for me if you get this working.

[Pandarsenic]

Aqizzar: That's certainly doable. >:3

Okenido, any particular requests?

I'll put together the soldiers/waiting list after I get my first story post up.

[Duke 2.0]

 Fine. Grenadier then.

 Aww heck, I just wanted somebody who will die quickly and I noticed how you already have breachers.

[Pandarsenic]

Pssshaw. I have ONE breacher. By nature, you'd be breaching after him pretty soon.

[Duke 2.0]

 Huzzah! Meatshield shall follow the family tradition!

[Nirur Torir]

I'd like to sign up for a soldier named Doc, with a handgun and medikit please.

[Pandarsenic]

SO IT BEGINS

So.

Alien Invasion.

I thought it was bullshit, too, until my cousin up in Berlin told me it was real. Then I still thought it was bullshit.

Then they made me the commander of all of X-com, told me it was important they have someone experienced.



They told me where they were placing their base...



And that it was named "Valhalla."



Guess we're going down fighting.



I took a look at the interior of the base.



Awful. Sieve-like. We'd get mowed down in an attack. No choke points, 4 scattered entry points. What were the base designers thinking?

[Pandarsenic]

I was given a folder with a list of our soldiers and browsed through it. They had several strange aliases, to say the least.

Spoiler: Folder (click to show/hide)

I began to skim more quickly until one of them caught my eye, a little after the resident UFO breaching expert.



I made a mental note not to talk to that one if I could avoid it and went over our first-encounter reports. Our weapons had been woefully inadequate. We needed something better.

Something powerful.

SOMETHING SHINY.



The scientists told me they just needed to design an adjustable-focus lens that could handle the battery they needed. And they needed to design that battery. Then they gave me a paper.

I stamped it. Oh, did I ever stamp it.

Then, alarms went off.



I deployed an interceptor with a pair of stingray missile launchers.





We engaged. If we could only shoot it down and capture it...




FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Gunner-Chan]

If you want to capture a "Very small" UFO I recommend sending a vessel armed only with Cannons Commissar Panda.

[Pandarsenic]

((I know, Sniper Joe. But that was too funny of an opportunity to pass up. Beside, very small isn't even worth capturing. XD))

I heard TIM running through the halls screaming today. I asked my secretary why, and she showed me this document:



You have no IDEA how much this worries me.

This, however, pleases me. It pleases me greatly.



*the transmission contains several seconds of maniacal laughter at this point*

Ahem. Anyway.

Now, I'll just....

*Beep beep*

Display?



YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS!!!



DAMN IT!

It seems they have a lab version, but to make it into a weapon, they need more work. I guess-

*Beep beep*



YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! They finished, initial production is go!

AAHAHHHAHAHAHAHA!! AAAAHAAHAHAHAA-

*Transmission end*

[Pandarsenic]

We have only a few Laser Pistols done, but this has come up...





Good luck, men.

[Aqizzar]

2) Experienced?

You wuss.

And holy crap, I've never had a game where I had operational laser pistols before the first ufo touchdown.  I wonder where they all are.

Quiet, you. I haven't played in ages. <_<

They're probably all dicking aronud in the US getting my biggest sponsor to sign a pact or something.
