So did Quibble #16 arrive? And did he survive?

What? I didn't even order more troops yet, #15 died during this mission.

He died last update!

Oh right. Oh well, ordering him now.

Spoiler: UPDATE 3 (click to show/hide)

Dropping Like Flies.
The next USO was expected, however something was different about it. It was larger, and was heading towards our base.


General Foley: Pilot, what are you doing!? You're wasting valuable funds there, shoot that thing down!
Barracuda Pilot 1: I'm trying sir! It's fighting ba- MY EYES!
At that point the pilot leaned forward on the controls and accidentally activated the Ajax missiles. The USO was downed relatively close to our base.


Procedures were relatively the same again. Except for one thing.


We were armed with thermal tazers to capture the aliens. Also note X-Com's strange procedure to make troops wear rockets as shoulder pads.


Weapons Platform Controller: I see live aliens. *PCHOOO.*


Controller: I see dead aliens.


*BOOM*
Yvanna and Konstantin: ARRRRRGH!
Everyone else: !?


Controller: I think I got the one that killed them!


Controller: And Apparently Aquatoids have explosive blood.
((I never really found out why that exploded.))


Bill: Ship found. With a giant hole in the side.


Bill: And I think somebody went down!
Ghost: That would be Codec.


Gerald: Got the one that killed him!


((Due to my horrible screenshot timing, you can't see Gerald's location or the X, but that grey dot at the center of the screeen was the thing he shot.))


Ghost: Our tank is down!
Controller: No shit Sherlock!


Bill: Rho-Mu is down. Ghost?
Ghost: Stunned the Aquatoid that shot him. Tarran?
Tarran: What? I'm just sitting in the killing field.


The 7 people that died that day would only mark a string of bad luck for the whole war.

Go Gerald! Survive!

Are you still on Superhuman?

[Tarran]

Are you still on Superhuman?

He never was on Superhuman. It was a joke.

[Phantom]

If I was, all of Humanity would have been gone by now.

[Heron TSG]

No, all of humanity would be stronger, smarter and faster. One might even say... SUPERHUMAN.

[CJ1145]

Your fundamental misunderstandings of words shall get you killed on day Barb.

I'll bet it'll get you killed too, CJ1145.

[CJ1145]

Meh, I'm too lazy to care. That's my saving grace. While everyone's hiding in the bunkers getting hunted and killed, I'll be chilling out here. They won't even think to search the homes, nobody's stupid enough to stay there! But one man... one brave man was lazy enough!

[Phantom]

That is if they don't destroy the homes in the first place.

[Heron TSG]

You would think that Superhuman difficulty would be really easy, considering that all your soldiers are able to perform inhumanly badass deeds with ease.

Barb, dearie. The difficulty level is describing the player's talent. Not the soldiers.

[Phantom]

Last time I checked, I wasn't an omnipotent mutant that could change the outcome of everything with the click of one button. Wait, that describes me for DF, but still what kind of difficulty is that?

Don't patronize me. I bet you're one of those 'Easy' guys from the brothel down the block.

_{Or maybe I'm joking}
