Let me tell you of the tale
of Manuelle Testosterson
Everywhere he left a trail
of dead aliens, large and thin
His skin was dark, with a great full beard
A fearsome sight, I think
But his hair and armor, so weird
was a shocking hue of pink
Early on he made a friend
A man by the name of Long Chen
With his rockets he would defend
the squad, time and time again
Long Chen was caught in a firefight
his health gone down to one
The sectoids had him in his sight
It seemed Long Chen was done
But Manuelle would have none of that
though a mere rookie at the time
with his rifle, and a rat a tat-tat
he halted their heinous crime
Manuelle, promoted to an assault
He killed aliens so masterfully
With his shotgun he was worth his salt
and he saved the squad repeatedly
Time had passed, Chen and Manuelle
both made it to the top
With rocket and shotgun shell
It seemed they'd never stop
The alien base was their next mission
a fight that would never end
Manuelle executed their tactician
though we had lost many men
More time had passed, more soldiers levied
Four more reached the rank of Colonel
Two snipers, a support, and a second heavy
the 6 formed a crew eternal
Under the leadership of Testosterson
Their pink haired elite boss
For 17 straight missions they won
And had not even a single loss
Then time had come and passed again
as it's very prone to do
And soon Manuelle and Chen
faced the final challenge with their crew
Manuelle was the team's best psionic
no others matched him in fame
With a strong mind, but still built like a brick
and 76 kills to his name
Entering the gollop chamber
his powers had gone alight
He, of course, had no sense of danger
But still, something wasn't right
The temple ship, now being raided
But every shot Manuelle made a miss
Testosterson seemed quite faded
while the others continued their blitz
Time had passed, to the penultimate round
And two sectopods awoke
The fight raged on, but with a terrible sound
Long Chen, best friend had croaked
The sectopods had drawn His ire
And he decided he had enough
He ran and gun, and with a rapid fire
the first Sectopod was snuffed
The second, without a scratch
turned and shot Testosterson twice close range
Testosterson, without a match
was still standing with a look deranged
One last round, and the second fell
though Testosterson was barely alive
They would not yet sound the knell
because FuknGandalf had arrived
The final challenge, the Ethereal
had taken root in Gandalf's mind
A dangerous extra-terrestrial,
but Manuelle ran in from behind...
And so the earth was saved
from now thanks to Manuelle
Never forget those engraved,
especially Long Chen who fell...
