Her squad had just been following her orders when they fortified that pub. They knew that a mixed group of aliens and humans were inbound from the parking lot. However, Julia was a sniper so she had gone up to the roof. She took out the first two aliens with ease, popping the heads of both a thin man and a sectoid as they dashed for cover. Her 5 squadmates, all rookies, were holding the ground floor. They shredded a sectoid that got too close, then everything went wrong.
The enemy's leader, a plasma-toting heavy had just kicked down the front door. The rookies all dashed for cover and the only other female (was still a rookie), Naomi, ran out the back to come to the roof to assist Julia. The enemy heavy launched a rocket right into the middle of the bar and the rookies were decimated. 3 went down from the blast and the last one was shredded by the plasma MG the next turn as he tried to flee.
Julia and Naomi were both on the roof, keeping a look-out for the heavy when Julia spotted her. She had jet-packed up to the roof and tried to take a shot at Julia. It hit Julia, but left her with one life left. Julia slowly brought her laser sniper to aim and sent a bolt of high-powered stream of energy straight through the heavy's brain. The heavy collapsed, but the battle wasn't over.
Julia and Naomi dropped back down into the parking lot to look for the last hostile. After a few turns of searching, they were about to re-enter the pub when they found it. A sectoid commander was waiting inside. Naomi fell victim to its mind and screamed as it grabbed control of her. Julia only had one health left and knew that her next shot would decide the battle. If she headshotted the commander, she would kill it and free Naomi. If she missed, the sectoid would make Naomi kill her. If she ran, the sectoid would hunt her down and control her too.
Slowly Julia brought her sniper rifle to bear. It was a tricky shot as they were in very close proximity, but she had no other choice. As Julia pulled the trigger, a searing beam of energy shot out of her sniper-rifle...and straight through the sectoids over-sized brain. The sectoid collapsed and Naomi gasped for air, now free of the alien's grasp. Julia looked into the pub for a moment, silently mourning the loss of 4 of her squadmates. Then she reported back to HQ "We're done here. Mission Accomplished."
