January Fourteenth: 1999Today the scientists came to me excitedly, babbling about a breakthrough they had made. They showed me a small device, they they called a Directionally Enhanced Focused Light Amplifying Terror Emitter. Or DEFLATE. After a short round of smacking them it became apparent that it was a laser pistol. I do not know why they did not say so. Although I am somewhat impressed with the killing power of this device, I think it is too small. I have ordered the scientists to make a larger version. At least the engineers, who have just been sitting around, have something too do. I have told them to make two field ready laser pistols for our troops to test. They should be done in two and a half days.
Additionally ten more scientists arrived with a load weapons for the troops. I have set them to dissect the dead alien we have. The scientists. The weapons are more of the explody type, not the dissecting type.
We have started building a containment for any live aliens we capture. Perhaps we can glean their motives?
January Twenty Fourth: 1999Early this morning the scientists finished research the dead alien body. Some interesting results... I am not convinced that these could lead a war against us. Could there be more then one race against us in this war? Perhaps... A scary thought.
They are now to research into the super strong metal that the alien craft seems to be made of.
But more importantly, a alien ship was spotted flying in over the west coast! A jet was sent out to shoot it down.
The jet took some minor damage but was able to take it down easy enough. The team was sent out to make sure all the aliens died in the crash.
The location was deep in the desert. Although the heat was oppressive we were still thankful it was day as we knew the aliens had better sight then us in the dark. Mormota was the first to roll out. Hopefully everyone will come back from this...
A alien was spotted over a hill, it seemed to have not noticed our presence.
A alien came from the north and took a shot a Mormota. Lucky the heavy armor of the tank stopped any damage. Unfortunately for Kilroy, he was not heavily armored when a alien shot a strange projectile at him. Although the explosion did not kill him outright, he was knocked unconscious and was heavily bleeding. No one expected him to live.
Why are you so useless Mormota?
Luckily DinosaurusRex_x was there to clean up the terrible job done my Mormota. He quickly took it down.
Another alien was spotted to the south, although a few solders were unable to actually hit it, Sirus calmly walk up a hill and shot it right in the face.
Another alien was spotted. Although Shinji managed to hit it, it was still standing.
The alien reacted by shooting another strange explosive projectile which hit the tank head on. Heavy damaging it. Lucky it was still functional. Sir Thomas responded by shooting a strange projectile of his own, which missed the alien, the alien ship and managed to fly for half a mile before destroying several endangered species of cactus. A investigation of where he got a rocket launcher is underway.
Stone cold shot his cannon at the alien, scoring a direct hit to the chest. But the alien was still standing. Apparently aliens can withstand a shot from a heavy cannon and a laser pistol.
Some more solders came and shot at it to no avail. After five solders and a fucking tank were unable to take down one alien Hexedy was forced to walk over and kill it in one shot.
Losers
Another alien was spotted by Jacen. Unfortunately, since he was not issued ammo. He was unable to shoot at it.
Mormota had no such issues.
A alien came out of the ship and shot at us, but luckily it managed to hit his own ship. It seems that alien solders are are shitty as human ones.
We surrounded the ship, ready to blast our way in. Jacen would go in first.
Wow that is a lot of aliens. I bet Jacen wished he had ammo.
He threw his grenade at them. They responded by shooting him. He responded by dying.
Seconds later we heard a boom from the ship and the sound of aliens dying.
Shinji bust in and took down one alien in a burst of laser fire. Virgle followed him and took down the last alien. The mission was a success with only minimal causalities!
On the way back to the ship we found that Kilroy was still alive somehow. Upon further inspection it appeared that he was only sleeping in the dirt. Also that he had over a hundred packets of ketchup that burst and in fact had no wounds. Sirus on the other hand tripped and fell getting into the ship, banging his head on a metal railing. The doctors say he will be out of the medical bay in a week or so.
