Rk. Lilith - 2/2 Kills - Promoted to Squaddie (Sniper)
Rk. David - 4/4 Kills - Promoted to Squaddie (Heavy)
Nameless Rookie - 0/0 Kills
Our first encounter with alien life, these strange creatures appear to have some sort of mind meld ability that allows them to bolster each others thoughts. How curious...
Mission 2: Operation Dying Whisper
Alien Abductions
Baltimore, United States
More sectoids.
Sq. Lilith - 2/4 Kills | Gravely Injured 14 Days
Sq. David - 4/8 Kills
Nameless Rookie 0/0 Kills | KIA

Lilith suffered severe plasma burns from a sectoid's plasma gun. Hopefully our tech proceeds quickly, these alien weapons are awfully dangerous.

Council Mission
Bangalore, India
A scientist who had previously been advocating cooperation with the aliens has suddenly come under attack by them. Time to go pull him out and find out what's going on.

Sq. Olabot - 2/2 Kills - Promoted to Squaddie (Assault)
Sq. Pygon - 4/4 Kills - Promoted to Squaddie (Support) | Gravely Wounded 18 Days
Rk. Nameless Rookie - 0/0 Kills | KIA
Eerie thin men that are capable of leaping over buildings and spitting poison. Also they have this nasty habit of exploding when shot and appear to have unnaturally good aim.
Despite our casualties we were able to complete the mission and Sergeant (support) cheapy even joined us.
Aaand it begins again! Good luck! We Expect Good Results.
Mission 4: Operation Lost Whisper
Our satellite system was able to track a small UFO over Japan long enough for us to scramble an interceptor and shoot it down.
Sq. Olabot - 1/3 Kills | KIA
Sgt. cheapy - 1/1 Kills | Wounded 6 Days
Rk. Treppa - 3/3 Kills - Promoted to Squaddie (Heavy) | Wounded 8 Days
Nameless Rookie - 0/0 Kills | KIA
As we approached the downed UFO we were ambushed by a being made of almost pure energy. We were able to drop it and complete our mission, but at a heavy price.
Olabot, you will not be forgotten.
Mission 5: Operation Silent Justice
More alien abductions, this time in Hong Kong. Lets avenge Olabot.
Sgt. cheapy - 2/3 kills

Mission 4: Operation Secret Moon
Alien Abductions, in Manchester, UK
In addition to the sectoids this time we encountered several "floaters." They seem to be some sort of horrible amalgamation of flesh and machine.
Sgt. cheapy - 0/3 kills - Promoted to Lieutenant
Rk. DSX - 4/4 Kills - Promoted to Squaddie (Assault) - Wounded 7 Days
Sgt. David - 4/18 Kills - Promoted to Lieutenant
Sq. ShadowyFox - 1/1 Kills - Promoted to Squaddie (Support)
Other than some "minor" plasma burns on DSX, and ShadowyFox blowing up one of the meld canisters while taking out a sectiod, things went great.
Additionally the UK was able to provide us with Sgt. mattastrophic (sniper)
Mission 7: Operation Empty Summer
Council Mission, France
An important convoy dealing with alien research was hit, but by whom...?
Lt. cheapy - 3/6 kills - Wounded 11 Days
Lt. David - 6/24 Kills
Sq. Lilith - 2/6 Kills - Promoted to Corporal
Nameless Rookie - 2/2 Kills - KIA
We encountered heavy fire as wave after wave of Thin Men assaulted us. Fortunately we were able to recover the survivor, but he appears to have been part of the assault.
Mission 8: Operation Silent Serpent
UFO Landing, Japan
UFO landed in Japan, time to take out its crew and recover what we can.
Lt. David - 2/26 Kills - Promoted to Captain - Wounded 4 Days
Sgt. matt - 3/3 Kills - Gravely Wounded 13 Days
Sq. Pygon - 0/4 Kills
Sq. AndrewD2 - 4/7 Kills
Insdier the alien ship we encountered a being of almost pure energy. It almost seemed to have supernatural accuracy and an ability to dodge our shots.
Sgt. matt was critically injured but Pygon managed to hold his guts in long enough for David and AndrewD2 to eilimite the remaining hostiles.
Mission 9: Operation Blind Breath
Our first Medium UFO spotted by our satellite system and shot down by our interceptor. Time to send the squad in to Germany to pick up the pieces
Sq. Pygon - 1/5 Kills
Sq. AndrewD2 - 3/10 Kills - Promoted to Sergeant - Wounded 7 Days
Sq. DSX 1/5 Kills
Sq. Treppa 2/5 Kills
Most of the aliens did not survive the crash, but we did recover several valuable pieces of alien technology from the site.
Mission 10: Operation Empty King
Alien abductions down under in Sydney Australia.
Sq. Pygon - 1/6 Kills - Promoted to Sergeant - Wounded 6 Days
Sq. DSX - 3/9 Kills - Promoted to Sergeant
Rk. Rathendar - 1/1 Kills - Promoted to Squaddie (Heavy)
Cpt. David - 4/30 Kills - Wounded 5 Days
We suffered several minor wounds, but nothing we weren't able to overcome.
Our Officer Training School has just finished, and we've put all all through crash courses on everything from blow up aliens to more efficiently commanding troops.
From now on we can field a squad of 6 instead of just 4.
Coming up tomorrow, our first terror mission...
Haha good luck. These are always fun to read.
I need to finish my run. I have a C/I game sitting ready to do the final mission. I just haven't got around to it yet.
Mission 11: Operation Blinding Empire
Perhaps we were wrong about the alien intentions. They have launched a full scale assault on Novgorod, Russia. The news footage along is terrible. Lets see if we can generate some good press.
Cpl. DSX - 1/10 Kills - Promoted to Sergeant
Sq. Rathendar - 1/1 Kills
Sq. Treppa - 4/9 Kills - Promoted to Corporal
Sq. ShadowyFox - 0/1 Kills
Rk. CRabbit - 2/2 Kills
Rk. Ithuriel- 0/0 Kills - Promoted to Squaddie (Heavy) - Gravely Wounded 16 Days
Our mission was an overwhelming success! We rescued 14/18 civilions reducing panic all over Europe. Those 4 legged, heavily armored aliens seem to be dropping in poison. Luckily we had plenty of grenades and never found out exactly how they do kill people.
Woo! And Cpl. Treppa begins her climb up the ranks again...
Woo! And Cpl. Treppa begins her climb up the ranks again...
I'm enlisting at the same time as Treppa? I'm so dead ...
Corrosive Rabbit: btw your debut came with a promotion to Squaddie (Sniper)

In addition to the stranglers and floaters we cought our first glimpse of their heavily armed Mutons. Fortunately we were able to take them out before the were able to open fire, I did have to hear another earful from Dr. Vahlen about blowing up corpses though.
I was a slacker this time around :(
You and me both, but at least you have a better survival rate than us assaulters.

Although we suffered some nasty wounds on our approach we were able to clear out the remaining aliens and capture some valuable technology. (Which I promptly sold on the grey market so I could afford carapace armor for you guys)
Soon I will finish the alien containment facility and we'll be able to capture and interrogate these aliens.
Make me a fine lady sniper in black! :)

Mission 15: Operation Flying Fall
We have discovered the presense of an organization working with the Aliens against us, EXALT. We sent Sq. Shadowyfox in undercover to gather intel. Now he needs extracting.

Our second time out with the arc thrower and we were able to capture both a Muton and the strange energy being we are calling an Outsider. I think it may be key to understanding the aliens communication network.

Whoa! A Sectoid in a Mech suit, that's shielded by other Sectoids!
I thought the Cyberdiscs and Mutons were mean enough.
Lt. DSX almost bled out on us, but we managed to pin down the Mechtoids with a disabling shot and covere fire long enough for Pygon to dash across the field of fire and keep DSX alive.
The Council requests that we go investigate some weird goings on in Newfoundland...
Here's our brave soldiers.
Those guys should really put sleeves on their armor.
Turns out once you have genetic modifications it's impossible to wear sleeves.
Turns out once you have genetic modifications it's impossible to wear sleeves.
So Dr. Shen secretly hates them?
Dr. Vahlen is the one for genetic modifications. Dr. Shen wants to lop all their limbs off and use mechs instead.
But Shen builds their armor. Without sleeves.
Maybe so they'll get their arms blown off and need mechs.
You can get a mod that replaces genemod armour with normal armour! :)
Tell that to Jo-Jo and Pamela.
Have you met my muscles? Flextacular and fine.
Have you met my muscles? Divinity designed.
Have you met my biceps? They're awesome oiled up.
Have you tried my triceps? Tyrannosaurus tough!
Have you seen the pythons? They escaped from the zoo.
Have you seen the gun show? The cannon's aimed at you!
Have you met my stallions?
My men ripped in battalions?
Have you met my bicuspids?
Those are teeth, actually.
Yeah, I know. But they're also crazy strong.
My calves!
My abs!
My quads!
This bod!
My lats! My Latissimus!
My traps! Trapezius!
My best six-pack! My gluteus maximus!

Hmm, some Zombies, so okay some Chryssalid. Weird, they appear to be using sharks to gestate in.
Lt. Pygon took a direct hit from one of the monstrosities but managed to limp his way back to the EVAC point with 1 health. Lt. Lilth also found herself momentarily surrounded just a few meters from the EVAC point, but with the increased muscle fiber density we've genetically engineered into her legs she was able to make it out just in time.
