Hiatus. The damn crashing bug proved to be a pain to track down. (as it turns out I had forgotten to undo part of my modding efforts, and they conflicted with something else).
But! Back. That last mission will be getting a short and sweet summary, and then we're off again.
Personal log:
Damn, my auctions on ebay go fast.
Mini-nukes are more popular then I would have imagined. Hot gift for the season I imagine.
I'll need to see if we've got anymore in the store rooms after lunch.
The transport runs away while another alien Fighter approaches. And promptly gets shot down- at least SOMEONE around here can shoot.
Oddly enough we actually have enough bodies for a full transport, so Forar, Core, Erandus, Antihippy, Omicron9999 (the second), Jesuits (the second), Parkingtigers, and Flippy_D load up. But not for the second UFO, oh no.
Its also nightfall, and the aliens have moved. Flippy_D gets to be first off.
He lives. And sees nothing. Parkingtigers moves forward, spots something in the trees...BOOM. Headshot.
Poor Flippy.
Its a commander, but we already have one to research so enough with that stunning nonsense- kill em, boys! Jesuits, parkingtigers, and Flippy all gun for the commander, but its Antihippy that puts it down.
No one brought the fucking medkits! Flippy will have to subsist on stimpacks and hope for a while.
Omnicron999 heals Flippy, then moves forward, spotting nothing. Then he freezes in place as plasma slices out of the darkness.
Boom. Headshot.
Flippy takes another head hit, and Omnicron and Parkingtigers both take heavy hits as well.
Core moves into the dark, spotting two aliens. And ANOTHER commander. What, did we drop in on a leader's meeting?! Both his grenades miss and he gets shot for his pains. But the second grenade did wound the Halluncinoid, letting Jesuits step up and finish it off.
Forar shoots at the commander, and accidentally nails another alien instead- a Halluincoid, from the grunt of pain off in the dark. Antihippy tries to lay a surprise for it, but doesn't have enough AP, so he just wastes the commander with a regular grenade instead.
Parkingtigers heals Flippy. Then the alien's turn comes, and Jesuit wets his pants. Halluinoid in front!
It doesn't get close enough to do any damage. Another alien- a regular Vipon- opens fire from the north west.
It whiffs, and Erandus guns it down.
Core takes aim at the Hallucinoid, but misses, so its up tp Antihippy again.
Problem solved. The wounded get patched up, though a lot of people are out of stimpacks now, and the bleeding is still going.
Two more aliens appear- a Reaper and a Halluinoid. Jesuit pees his pants again, and Antihippy drops THREE grenades on the Halluinoid before it dies. The Reaper proves equally tough, taking three direct hits from Forar's laser rifle. Of course, it has a proximity grenade at its feet...:D (care of Core)
As it turns out there were TWO Reapers. The first dies as the second marches past the grenade, sending shrapnel everywhere. But it keeps going. Last-minute reaction fire tears into it.
Core gets his head rips off.
Forar dives for cover as Jesuits finishes peeing and blows the Reaper away.
Okay, who's the jackass who thought it would be funny to take all the medkits out of the transport? I have my eye on you, vats of goo. Trying to sabotage missions so you can get back on active service sooner? You're all going on report.
Yes, its another fucking commander. Antihippy smacks it with a grenade, but it fails to die. He tries to dive for cover, but doesn't make it, and gets his back and ass shot by two different aliens. One of them comes in close and he grenades it- dead!
The other alien persistently fails to show itself, even when parkingtigers and Forar move in from the other direction.
Erandus duct-tapes Omnicron9999's torso together, but other than that and the sound of a door the next turn is quiet.
Antihippy moves up, and spots the UFO. Plasma flies out as a Floater takes aim at him, but misses. He tosses in a grenade of his own- his last-, and dodges the return fire. Then its Jesuit's turn.
He lumbers up from behind, levels his Heavy Laser, fires...
and cuts right through Antihippy's torso to shoot at the alien beyond. Antihippy goes down in an oozing pile of boiled guts. So does the alien, at least.

Because my balls are almost healed.
Now you're just challenging the aliens to shoot them again.
The armor is a lie. All it does is make you a bigger target! Demand better equipment! Vials of goo have rights too!

But! Back.
THAT one is a known problem with Bman's mod. Check ufo-scene.com, especially the forums; they might have a fix for you.
Game tonight..assuming the extended hiatus hasn't made everyone lose interest?
No, not at all. Keep it coming!
Steam profile.
Getting started with BATTLETECH: Part 1 / Part 2
Please, keep going! X-Com war stories are the BEST war stories.
I'm not strapping ANYTHING to anyone's crotch. No! Strap! Ons!
Anyway, in a bit of comedic timing work ran late tonight. Update..tomorrow! Twice, maybe.
Twitch (I stream most days of the week)
Twitter (mean leftist discourse)
Hissss... Revered Hivemaster, look what our Tech Slavess have crafted!
Hmm, what iss this strange artifact? A weapon of war?
Yess, Master! This weapon unleashes electrical force upon the weak humans! Hisss...
Excellent, we will test this weapon on our next visit to... Earth.
DUN, DUN, DUN!
Addendum : figure out where the hell to get a mini-nuke from, since eBay's run out.

Headshot twice right off the bat!
How am I not dead.
Again.
Yet somehow you aren't fussed that your genitals now look more or less like minced meat?
Cut him some slack, he was just shot in the head twice.
Well, technically he was shot in the head three times.
Think about it.
There's no reason not to trust that guy.
You might say, "But Snack, you just want to be let out of that tube!" or something, but I trust that dude.
He's got an honest face.
Yes, its another fucking commander. Antihippy smacks it with a grenade, but it fails to die. He tries to dive for cover, but doesn't make it, and gets his back and ass shot by two different aliens. One of them comes in close and he grenades it- dead!

and cuts right through Antihippy's torso to shoot at the alien beyond. Antihippy goes down in an oozing pile of boiled guts. So does the alien, at least.
