    Huh. Looks like it'll be a bit before I get blown to pieces. At least it looks like I'm deploying with Flippy.

    Your avatar combines with that statement wonderfully.

    I may only be a pool of slop in a tube; but folks, this kind of hatred will only tear us apart! Can't set aside our differences and join together for the common good - of kicking these aliens off of our planet?!

    Oh and Private? I WAS going to cut you a check, but you BROKE ALL THB FUCKING SNIPER RIFLES. The fact that they weren't labeled yet doesn't mean you get to prank them all, maggot! Learn to aim instead of fucking with everyone else's aim or your next 'tank' will be a cardboard box. Clear?

    *Salutes* Clear Sir!

    I am in so much trouble. I won't break the next tank, I can't - The Commander will have me as Zen's bullet magnet when he starts charging stuff again.. I'll have to stick near PFC Food, he'll keep me alive.

    They started cloning mrsnackroad earlier. That process doesn't look pretty and the smell....

    And I'm going to have to sit in the Tank next time.... I wonder if I can fit my mini-fridge in the Tank Cabin. Worst comes to worst I could get a shopping bag worth of stuff in I suppose. I'll have a check when the next tank arrives... Maybe I'll take the Commander up on the Carboard Box offer, it would give something to store the food in till I rig up the Fridge...

    Speaking of- everything is quiet for a few days, letting research on Laser Technology completes. That opens up Laser Pistols and Medkits. (don't ask why the medkits are laser-tech. You don't want to know.). For now, we'll head for laser pistols. We also have:
    Larve (dead)
    Chaser (dead)
    Advanced Cannon
    Scout (alien ship)
    Sectoid (dead)
    and Sensor Bomb

    available, if anyone wants to suggest a different track.

    Starting with Lasers sounds like a plan Sir! *Salute*

    Sounds like too much fun to pass up.
    See317 enlisting, if I can get a rocket launcher and a pocket full of hand grenades, I'll be a happy little killing machine.
    Alternatively give me a flame thrower, and I'll be forced to taste any alien I toast to insure that it's evenly cooked all the way through. Also, endless requisition forms for spices.

    Dear Diary,

    Those cocksuckers over in command are calling me Private First Class Food these days. They say I should feel honored but the truth is I could give a flying fuck about their ranks and medals. I signed on to tear some aliens a second asshole, and that's what I did. I told that to the doctor and he says that depending on the species I'd actually be tearing a third or fourth asshole. Fucking nerd.

    I should be ready to suit up again in a few days. I can't wait. I realized something on my last mission. These aliens aren't like us. When I saw that Sectoid piece of shit staring down his barrel at me, I didn't see even a hint of feeling inside those creepy ass oversized eyes.

    I heard about those hippie mother fuckers who are demonstrating back in the capital. They say we should be making peace with these aliens. They think we should all sit in a circle holding hands and sing koombayah. They wouldn't be saying that if they saw the report from the last mission. 8 men went in and only one came out with all his limbs intact. Poor bastard was promoted to private.

    To these aliens we humans are nothing but shit stains on this planet. All they want is to wipe us out. Well maybe they will. Maybe the human race really is doomed. Doesn't matter to me. These missions are suicide anyway. Probably a week from now I'll be a dead man, but I'll be a happy one just as long as I take a fuck load of those alien bastards with me.

    We do eat a lot, don't we. Then again there were over 40 of us redshirts last time I checked. I think the better question is where do we all sleep? There are only like 10 beds in the entire base.

    Hmmm.

    Man, I've been sleeping in the alien containment room. The dissection/torture table is actually really comfy, and as long as I remember to unplug the control console I can sleep soundly without my organs being forcibly ripped from my body.

    It's working well so far. 8-)

    Speaking of continuing, here we go! Shorter update tonight, I feel like crap warmed over. Sorry. Because the transport barely got home AGAIN, we have some more recruiting to do. EIGHT of them, to be specific. That means Nocren, ben0207, Carch, KapsLocked, Raiden333, kedinik, wabbiteh, Behemoth. Say "Hi guys!"

    ...pay no mind to Nocren, he's just sulking because his gun isn't ready yet. I gave him a rifle/shotgun combo to compensation, sort of.

    A few days pass without incident, letting the Alien Containment finish up. Soon after, the Workshop does too...of course, we don't have any PLANS to build yet, but hey! That actually finishes out the month, and our overlords are mildly pleased with the death toll. Except for Patria.

    Hmm. I think that one research lab we shot up was in Patria.
    PA42.jpg

    A day or two later, and JOY! New guns!
    PA43.jpg

    Of course, these aren't as good as X-Com's laser guns; they need batteries. Better than what we've got though, so the workshop goes to cranking them out while the eggheads turn to a rifle version.

    Another Lab finishes soon after, and still no contact with the aliens. Maybe the blood bath scared them away, maybe they're off dicking with the other side of the planet.

    Laser Rifle research takes only a week. By this time we've got enough pistols to replace all the current ones, so we switch production over to that while directing research into Heavy Lasers to quiet Nocren's bitching.

    Finally, nearly a day later, another UFO is detected to the north, near Patria.
    PA44.jpg

    It flies down south, and the Raptors knock it down just as it passes onto the main continent. PFC Food and his shiny new Laser Rifle load up, along with his contingent of newbies- all the new guys except Nocren, who refuses to board without Charlene.

    This time they land in broad daylight.

    Behemoth is first off, and takes fire almost right away. He runs forward but doesn't see the firing alien, so wabbiteh moves out- and takes fire from another direction entirely! He can't see anything either.

    PA46.jpg

    Stepping forward a little reveals a Larve hidden behind the bushes. He fires, and hits! In a first, it doesn't die. Raiden333 steps up and unloads to save him. Misses entirely. Great job, guys!

    PA47.jpg

    Carch puts an end to the foolishness by tossing a grenade. He misses too, but the shrapnel is enough to kill it. Behemoth spots the Larve that shot at him, but doesn't have enough AP to fire. kednik does, but its way out of shotgun range.

    Fortunately, there's a solution to that.


    PA48.jpg

    Explosives: If it didn't work, you didn't USE ENOUGH. The larve was actually out of throwing range, but still in the blast radius.
