The X-Com Aquatic Salvage Project has officially been dissolved.
The majority of project records have been sealed in accordance with [REDACTED] until [REDACTED]
Official hearings on war crimes for the project have been suspended until such time as [REDACTED]
All resources have been diverted to [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]
The remaining data on the project can be found below.
I think you can already guess that we're desperate.
Something has been downing cruise liners, disrupting trade, and making the seas unsafe.
A team was sent.
All contact was lost.
And we haven't been able to do jack, as the resources needed for this kind of job are tied up in a mission of critical importance. Those of you authorized to know of it, already do.
Those who are not, all I can say at this juncture is that you will probably die.
Horribly.
At the moment, we require field agents, trained submersible craft pilots, and an expert in, shall we say, unusual biology.
The risks will be great, but you will be doing humanity an inestimable service.
And, more importantly for most of you, I suppose, the pay is excellent.
I await your response.

They come.
They come from the deep and devour us.
We fall before them.
The sleeper stirs and those who fight his kin are unaware. They fight nobly. They fight in vain.
We fall into madness. We fall into fear. We fall in the face of the implacable enemy and never arise.
We have fallen to the depths and seen horrors man was not meant to see.
And if we fall further, all civilization, all of humanity falls as well.
We will fall.

This is it, then.
Recording might survive, even if we don't. Might be a civilian salvage vessel who finds this. Which would mean a brief history is in order.
A few months back, the government (which one doesn't matter now. Let's say all of them.) formed a task force to deal with a group of invading hostiles. Details are classified.
Suffice it to say they kept humanity sleeping safe at night..
Then they started a salvage operation.
It was entirely wiped out.
I volunteered to investigate. Funding was picked up, specialists were assigned, and so on.
And things went very, very wrong. If you've read Lovecraft, cut the racism and the purple prose and you more or less understand the situation. If not, well, we ran into creatures that can subvert the human mind, who use cybernetics to rebuild native species into killing machines. They could tear through trained soldiers in almost no time.
Somehow, we were able to hold them back for a while, despite setback after setback, and we sent a team to find and destroy their controlling intelligence.
It had a good crew.

They had two advanced AIs onboard, the Tofystedeth and LostProphet combat systems, and Captain RisenPhoenix.
The mission was our last chance.
It might have succeeded. It might have failed.
It no longer matters.
Right now, they have found us, and they are going to try to kill us.
Most of the staff is attempting to evacuate. A few of us are still here.

We're probably dead. Get this information to Kias and BlitzAce1981 at extra-stellar communications or Director Fishman. They'll know what to do. Hopefully.

And now, run like hell, because, you poor stupid son-of-a-bitch, you stepped into a death trap, and they'll probably be back soon for another sweep. Get out, and pass on what we have. Maybe it'll be enough.

Though I do have good memories of another UFO: After-X LP game where I was talking to my gun a lot.
We'll show the ocean whose boss. You! And maybe whoever is alive in the end.
Let's do this. I can pilot damn near anything with a stick. :^:

Getting started with BATTLETECH: Part 1 / Part 2
I've decided to apply for the position of Remotely Operated Tank (ROT) pilot. Having been killed once by the alien bastards I'm eager for revenge, and with my consciousness transferred from my remains to the a computer, I'm no longer encumbered by the limits of mortal flesh, while retaining the human touch and trustworthiness the Theidar AI's lack.
Just give me something explosive and tell the troops not to stand in my way.
A secondary core will be needed to control the aquatic division's robotic submersibles and provide command support.
The Central Core will be stopping in to monitor the Aquatic Core and provide harassment...errr recommendations as it is able.

If I could directly manipulate the game I'd never run out resources either.
I mean, that was an unfortunate accident.
Heat of the moment and all that.

Wait... Are we signing up to be in chiasaur's redshirt squad or for some kind of succession game? I don't have the time or the capacity for the latter.

Oh no you don't get normal run of the mill anti-personnel torpedoes shot at you.
You get the awesome ANTI-SHIP torpedoes fired at you. They're many times bigger. I'll stay up here and kill things with my plasma cannons that work in air thank you.
My enhanced targeting and predictive capabilities should result in a projected 95% decreased friendly fire rate. Still, accidents do occur and it is advised to wear clean underwear should you end up in the medbay.
Whoah, sorry about that. Don't know what happened. I'm still getting used to being implanted in a computer.
Kind of channeled Theidar there for a bit. And my mother...
I made sure that I have a special ejector seat that will propel me out of of doomed sub, up out of the water, only to be picked up by my Xcom Interceptor which is remote following and will take me back to my base at Linksville.
My brother was on that team.
Got a box in the mail with his death certificate, discharge papers, a medal, and what we assume is a piece of his skull.
