    have I mentioned in my sign-up sheet that I am very allergic to tentacles?

    because I totally am.

    OPERATION LOST FIST- TIME INDEX 1755

    Blythe: Okay, I'm switching to Central's channel. Central, come in. Central, do you copy, this is Officer Blythe. We've run into a lot of weird shit down here, CO--.

    [conventional weapons fire]
    19Headshot_zpsa97d1c7e.jpg

    "smof": One-nothing, Blythe.
    Blythe: Sending you the video feed now, Central. Any ideas?
    Bradford: What in the hell....
    Shen: It is camouflage technology. A "cloaking device". Based on the automaton's configuration, I suspect it is designed for close-combat. Stay alert, Officer, they are going to try to get in close to you.
    Bradford: Copy, what about the... the floaters?
    Shen: Your video is not great, but it seems to be a cyborg of sorts. I recommend aiming for the head or the exhaust ports on its back: you're not likely to do a lot of damage hitting it anywhere that's covered in metal, but the brain is still probably in its head.
    Blythe: ..."Probably"?
    Bradford: Central is going dark, Officer Blythe. Radio if you need anything else. Bradford out.
    Blythe: Great. Did everybody get all that?
    Petrova: да, Squad Leader.
    Sìon: Loud and clear, Blythe, I'll keep my eyes on the door.
    Blythe: Good. In fact, since Sergeant Swiss was kind enough to take out our only visible Charlie, let's all just sit tight and see what else they decide to throw at us.
    20Waiting_zpsb10c7f16.jpg

    Blythe: Okay... I think I see... Petrova, can you take a look through your scope, there, I think that's... Shit, movement on the right, incoming.
    Petrova: Что, черт возьми, что.

    Blythe: Great, more of those damn things. Sìon, get that thing off of--.

    [unknown weapons fire]
    Blythe: Holy shit, this guy... that Floater laying down suppressing fire.
    Sìon: Deep breath, Crissie, ye cannae miss this shot.
    25Savior_zps37e45531.jpg

    Petrova: [violent gasping]
    Sìon: Got 'im. I got the bastard.
    Blythe: Beautiful. All right, smof, put that scope to good use and clear the skies.
    "smof": With pleasure, Squad Leader.

    [conventional weapons fire]
    26ClearSkies_zpsf1a8fc1e.jpg

    "smof": Two to zero.
    Blythe: I am aware of the score, Sergeant. Now... let's, uh... let's take a breather. You all right, Petrova?
    Petrova: I... have had... better... days... Squad... Leader....
    "smof": She's got some minor contusions around her neck and what looks like some minor burns around her nose and mouth, but I think she'll be all right. Sìon hit that... thing before it could get a really solid grip.
    Sìon: Damnable thing never should have touched you, Petrova, I should not have missed the first time.
    Petrova: Last... time... pays... [cough] for all, Sìon. I owe you a beer, contest or no.
    Blythe: We're not done yet, people, there's still one of those tentacle things in here, plus a couple of Floaters and a Sectoid out there. Petrova, just keep your side arm ready.
    Petrova: Yes, Squad Leader.
    Blythe: Well, there goes our little gray friend. I was hoping he'd want to get closer, but he's run off out of LoS.

    [Floater exhaust]
    [conventional weapons fire]
    28OntheBoard_zps8783bf51.jpg

    Blythe: And Blythe puts himself on the leaderboard. I wouldn't get too comfortable in that number one spot if I were you, Sergeant.
    "smof": All right Blythe, nice reflexes, I'll give you that. I'm empty, by the way, so I'm going to reload.
    Blythe: All right. Staying dug in here has been working out pretty well, let's just stay patient and keep our eyes open.
    Petrova: Yes, sir.
    Sìon: Aye.
    29Dugin_zps34c74af2.jpg

    Blythe: I don't see anything out there... and our other Floater's gone quiet.
    Petrova: I confess that in the commotion I have lost track of our Charlies, Squad Leader.
    Blythe: We've got one remaining Sectoid, at least one Floater... and the... tentacle-choker-thing. And for the size of this boat, I wouldn't say we've made contact with the whole crew yet.
    Petrova: Sergeant.
    30OtherCloak_zps9971ac04.jpg

    Blythe: And that makes two. Looks like we're all tied up, Sergeant Swiss.
    "smof": Yeah? And how do you know it was your shot that took it down? Petrova hit it too.
    Blythe: Uh, with due respect to Officer Petrova's reflexes and aim, I don't think that sidearm did enough damage to shear off two tentacles and turn its center-mass to confetti.
    Petrova: I give the point to the Squad Leader. I am much more interested in watching a close race.
    Sìon: I second that.
    Blythe: Ah, that's my Squad. So how about it, smof? I mean, he was gunning for you, can't I get a little credit for that?
    "smof": Fine, Blythe. Two all.
    Blythe: There we are. Now, I spent my last round keeping that thing's tentacles off your throat, so I'm going to need a minute to reload here. You know the drill, wait for them to poke their heads out and then dust 'em.
    "smof": Here, Petrova, let me spray those electrical burns.

    31Healing_zps017f3caa.jpg
    Petrova: дрянь, this... gas smells awful... but... I do feel much better.
    "smof": That'd be the painkillers and the adrenaline. Try to take it easy.
    Petrova: Understood, Sergeant.
    Sìon: Orders, Squad Leader?
    Blythe: Tell you what, Sìon, you cover that door there. Petrova, go ahead and cover the back entrance. I'm not moving until that last Sectoid shows his face.
    32NoGo_zps4062e24e.jpg

    [Floater vocalizations]
    Sìon: There's our dubstep lion again.
    Petrova: your six is clear, Squad Leader. Any sign of the Sectoid?
    Blythe: No, and I'm getting tired of waiting. I'm going to risk having a look out there.
    33Hiding_zps86366590.jpg

    "smof": See anything?
    Blythe: Not... really... wait a minute, there he is. Move up here, Sergeant.
    "smof": Not going to take a shot?
    Blythe: I'm looking at a big hole in the side of the ship out here, I'm a little concerned with saving my bullets for anything that might come charging out of that. You're the long-range specialist; I'll put my head down and you take it out.
    "smof": All right; moving to you, but it'll take me a minute to get set up.
    Blythe: Standing by.
    Petrova: The hallway is clear, Squad Leader, I'm moving to support Sìon and cover this last door.
    Blythe: Copy.
    34Holding_zpseaeeaad0.jpg

    Sìon: Petrova and I are holding position, Squad leader; I've got more noise coming from behind this door... not sure what it is this time.
    Blythe: I'm about to take a look through this hole, here, if smof will oblige me by taking our last Sectoid out?
    "smof": Only too happy to oblige, Officer Blythe.
    35PlusOne_zps5e1539f4.jpg

    [conventional weapons fire]
    "smof": Three to two.
    Blythe: So it is. All right, get ready squad. On my mark, breach the door.
    Petrova: ну... how... how do we do that, Squad Leader?
    Blythe: What, isn't there a button or something?
    Sìon: Nary a one that I can see.
    Blythe: Well, just... shoot it, then, I guess. I'm having a look.
    "smof": Wait, idiot, what if it doesn't--.
    36LastTwo_zpsbff52d50.jpg

    Blythe: Hoo! Looks like I interrupted a conversation. No, no, gentlemen, don't move, you're right where you need to be.
    37Frag_zps95ee3188.jpg

    Blythe: Frag out!

    [conventional explosives detonation]
    Sìon: Jesus, Blythe, you tore down the wall with that one. Ach, my bloody ears are ringin'.
    Blythe: Oh, wow. Heads up, team, both Charlies remaining. Sìon, do you have visual?
    Sìon: Yes dammit, taking a shot.

    [conventional weapons fire]
    38Miss_zpsd993a2ce.jpg

    Sìon: Christ set in an easy chair, Blythe, did you have to drop that frag so close to the door? I think you threw my inner ear off balance.
    "smof": Never mind, Petty Officer, I'll handle it.

    [conventional weapons fire]
    39Hit_zps989d7a2d.jpg

    Petrova: An admirable shot, Sergeant. You appear to have seperated its head from its shoulders.
    "smof": I think that clinches our little game, Blythe.
    Blythe: Sweep's not over yet, Sergeant.
    Petrova: What do we do about the remaining contact, Squad Leader.
    Blythe: Nicky says these things move like greased lightning if you give them the chance. Don't take any chances, hit it with a frag.
    Petrova: Dr. Frankenstein is not going to like that.
    Blythe: What could she possibly have to complain about, I didn't even use my rocket launcher on this Op.
    40Fragging_zpse74b0333.jpg

    Petrova: Well, I suppose you've already fragged the area as much as it's going to be fragged anyway. Frag out.

    [conventional explosives detonation]

    Bradford: Blythe, this is Central, do you copy?
    Blythe: I copy you, Central.
    Bradford: Good work, Blythe, our infrared is showing no more hostiles. Get everything not nailed down into the Skyranger and return to base, our recovery team is on their way to the site now.
    Blythe: Solid copy, Central, Blythe out. So, Sergeant, what did you think of your first field assignment?
    "smof": I think four is a bigger number than two, Officer Blythe.
    Blythe: [sigh] I can't wait to hear what you come up with.
    Petrova: Central, this is Officer Petrova, requesting a medic to meet us at the hangar. I'm not feeling so well.
    41End_zps7c078cce.jpg

    Blythe: Are you all right, Glasya?
    Petrova: I have had better days, Squad Leader. I think those painkillers are wearing off.
    Blythe: Then we'd better load up the airbus and bug out.
    Squad: Sir.

    DEBRIEFING-04/02/15
    OPERATION LOST FIST- TIME INDEX 1834


    Bradford: Welcome back Squad. Squad Leader Blythe, I am personally very impressed. You encountered not one but two new xeno-types, and held your own. Dr. Vahlen is analyzing the video feed as we speak; we'll be updating standard operating procedure to accommodate the new intel you collected today.
    Blythe: My Squad deserves the credit today, Central Officer; kept their cool and rolled with the punches.
    Bradford: Sergeant Swiss? What is your assessment?
    "smof": Officer Blythe deserves a good deal of credit. His decision to breach the alien craft provided the squad with an easily defensible position that allowed us to cover one another, which, as the record shows, proved critical to keeping everyone alive. I was happy to ride backseat for this operation, Central Officer; Officer Blythe had things very well in hand.
    Bradford: Glad to hear it. I'm also glad that you were paying attention in spite of the challenging environment, because you're going to be seeing a lot more action very soon. As of this moment, you're being reassigned to Officer Bogestrom's old squad as Leader.
    "smof": Understood, sir.
    Bradford: Petty Officer Sìon, step forward.
    Sìon: Sir.
    Bradford: Officer Blythe, what is your assessment of Petty Officer Sìon's performance today?
    Blythe: Indispensable, sir, as Officer Petrova can attest. I don't know if Petrova would have made it back with us without her intervention.
    Bradford: The Commander concurs with your assessment, Blythe, which is why he is promoting Sìon to Officer.
    SionPromotion_zps745224d5.jpg

    Bradford: Per her experience in your Squad, she is being assigned to the Heavy specialization.
    Sìon: Yes sir. Thank you, sir.
    Bradford: Your recovery list looks good, Blythe, in spite of your use of explosives. No complaints from Dr. Vahlen or Dr. Shen.
    Debrief_zps74e42be2.jpg

    Bradford: If there are no questions, then I suggest you make your way to the infirmary and visit Officer Petrova; her injuries appear relatively minor, but Dr. Vahlen as ordered her to remain in sick bay until further notice for observation; I think she way be interested in hearing the results of the debriefing. Dismissed.
    Squad: Sir.

    [redacted]: Come on in, Bradford. How's Petrova?
    Bradford: Officer Petrova is resting comfortably sir. Personally, I think that Dr. Vahlen's caution with first-contact patients is excessive.
    [redacted]: I'm inclined to agree with the doctor here, Bradford. I don't want these soldiers back in the field until we are 100% certain they've recovered. If they have to sit out an extra mission or two, so be it; they can catch up on their reading.
    Bradford: Understood, sir. I have the release forms for the artifacts you requested be let go.
    GrayMarket_zpsc41dde0b.jpg

    [redacted]: Very good. How did Dr. Vahlen respond?
    Bradford: She indicated that she was eager to clear up the freezer in advance of whatever new specimens we might come upon on future operations. The appearance of two xeno-types during Operation Lost Fist has put her in a rare mood.
    [redacted]: No doubt. And the panic assessment I asked for?
    Bradford: Of course, sir.
    WorldState_zpse5109b1e.jpg

    Bradford: As you can see, the Western Hemisphere is not looking good. Our operation in the United States has helped, but the rest of the Americas are not responding well. Africa is in a similar situation.
    [redacted]: I see. [sigh] We need more, Bradford... more of everything.
    Bradford: Funds from the artifacts will help considerably, sir.
    [redacted]: That money's already spent, Bradford. Get Shen working on two more Satellites. I have a feeling we're going to need them.
    Satellites_zpsc0c1fe54.jpg

    Bradford: Understood, sir. Will we be ordering Ravens to support these satellites?
    [redacted]: If you can find me another hundred million, Bradford. We still have a containment facility to build. Anything else?
    Bradford: Dr. Vahlen has provided a report on Project Sagaris.
    ProjectSagaris_zpsf114f850.jpg

    [redacted]: Interesting.
    Bradford: She says that with some trial and error she should be able to put together a battery compact enough and powerful enough to overcome the limitations associated with directed energy weapons.
    [redacted]: Well, that's certainly welcome news. I'm a little more concerned with keeping our soldiers alive than helping them kill things better at the moment, however. Have Dr. Vahlen look into repurposing some of the materials we've recovered into body armor.
    AlienMaterials_zps52063c7d.jpg

    Bradford: Understood, sir.
    [redacted]: If there's nothing else, you're dismissed, Bradford.

    Physical Fitness Center- Time Index 0745
    BlytheandShoumin_zpsab8ab945.jpg
    Shoumin: So... how did it go?
    Blythe: You know how I haven't been in the gym for a couple of days?
    Shoumin: Uh-huh?
    Blythe: She had me in here the night of the mission doing push ups.
    Shoumin: Really. After all that beer?
    Blythe: One. Thousand. Push ups.
    Shoumin: Really.
    Blythe: Not counting the penalty push ups.
    Shoumin: How'd you earn those?
    Blythe: The rules on that seemed sketchy. "Improper form, pausing for breath, not believing in the idea of push ups."
    Shoumin: Damn. So... did you learn your lesson?
    Blythe: I learned you damn Yanks can be damn sensitive about your "American"ness.
    Shoumin: Soooo, no then.
    Blythe: No, she was right, I said some stupid things. Maybe she might not have been so upset if I wasn't the last in a long line, but it was still stupid, what I said.
    Shoumin: There's hope for you yet, Blythe.
    Blythe: There won't be if I ever have to do another push up as long as I live. I think I've developed a rather acute allergy.
    Shoumin: I bet.
    Blythe: You doin' all right? About Paul, I mean.
    Shoumin: It... It's hard. I went over my first mission as Squad Leader with him. Checked all my decisions, got some suggestions. I won't be able to do that with him next time. Knowing that... a support's just gone, you know?
    Blythe: Aye.
    Shoumin: I guess I should try doing that with Swiss?
    Blythe: I think it'd help her feel like a more integrated part of the team. I dinnae know how much command experience she has, but it couldn't hurt.
    Shoumin: I guess it wouldn't be a total disaster to exchange mission notes with you some time, either.
    Blythe: I'm always here lad. Well, hopefully not here in the gym. I'm keeping the workouts to one cardio a day until I forget the smell of the plastic floor mats.
    Shoumin: You get the orders about the schedule change?
    Blythe: Yeah. I guess I'll be seeing you on the other side of this shift after today.
    Shoumin: How'd that thousand push ups help your sleeping?
    Blythe: Not enough to be worth the muscle pain. push yourself a little harder on your cardio and you'll be fine.
    Shoumin: I always hated sleeping during the day time.
    Blythe: Good thing it's never day time down here.

    Faraday: Reports are coming in sir, from Canada, the UK, and Japan. It looks like we have another Alfa.
    Bradford: Dammit. Show me on the Geoscape.

    Canada_zpsc23df98d.jpg

    Bradford: Great. Hello, Commander? Yes, this is Bradford. Yes... yes sir. I agree, sir Japan is Least Concern. Yes sir. Shen's projection indicated the end of the month on the new satellites, sir. Yes. Personally? It'll take launching a satellite to appease anyone, sir, but launching in Canada will require new Ravens. Yes. Yes sir. Understood. Faraday, I want you to give me a closer look at Canada, and page Shoumin.
    Faraday: Right away, sir.
    Squad_zps9fd1a754.jpg

    Bradford: Welcome to the Graveyard shift, Officer Shoumin.
    Shoumin: Thank you, sir.
    Bradford: I regret to inform you that today will be going down as a loss in the books before you ever get out the door. Global panic levels are at what I would describe as an unacceptable level, and is only going to get worse after today. It is with deep regret that we ask you to go out on your first day of the new schedule, but orders are orders, and the Commander has faith in you and your squad.
    Shoumin: We won't let him down sir. I plan to hit those Xrays so hard that Global Panic drops a notch.
    Bradford: You may get your chance very soon. The Canadians have put a very sweet deal on the table for us. The particulars are inconsequential to your mission, but the Commander wants you to bring in a very favorable report for this one. If we can make a good impression with Canada, we will be in a very good position to further the project's short-term goals.
    Shoumin: Understood sir.
    Haddad: Your influence doesn't earn us any additional points, Central Officer?
    Bradford: Do not equate my importance to the continuation of this project with any influence on my nation of origin, Haddad. Further more, do not expect that my intervention will be able to afford you any assistance out there today: I have no strings to pull.
    Shoumin: Can you give us an idea of what we'll be facing, Central Officer?
    Bradford: Potential LZ sites are dotted around the University of Ottowa near the School of Engineering.
    Viyakwi: They are abducting... engineering students? Professors?
    Bradford: We have top men speculating on questions like that day in and day out around here, Viyakwi. When you need to know, we'll tell you.
    Viyakwi: Sir.
    Bradford: Skyranger is prepped and ready, squad. Say safe out there.

    after doing 1000+ in one night? I imagine it's like hearing/saying the same word too many times in a go: the word starts to lose all meaning.

    looks like the alien sympathizers are multiplying!

    what's that sound? do I hear a volunteer for 2000 push-ups in an hour?

    uh.... uh.....

    I see you have played knifey spooney before.

    well done, sir. just trying to keep morale up with some light banter. hehe. he.... he.

    1,000?

    Excessive.

    You only need 100 a night to get into prime alien fighting shape. It's just it needs to be part of a balanced exercise routine with running, situps, and crunches.

    OPERATION FIRST DAWN- TIME INDEX 0645


    @Snicketysnick‌ @Rainfall‌ @ASimPerson‌ @Feriluce‌
    FirstDawn_zps19ff6f65.jpg

    Bradford: Officer Shoumin, this is Central, how copy?
    Shoumin: Reading loud and clear, Central.
    Bradford: Campus Police have done an excellent job evacuating the University. We do not anticipate that you will encounter many civilians on site, if any.
    Ejo: That is a relief.
    Shoumin: Any info on what we're likely to run into out there?
    Bradford: Satellite intel is limited to what the Canadians have forwarded to us, which, frankly, has been of little help. Until we get our own satellites in the air over some of these places, we're going to have a difficult time with recon. Suffice it to say that you should expect to see all of the variants encountered by XCOM so far.
    Shoumin: Terrific. That means we stick together, squad: if we run into those tentacle robots Blythe's squad had to deal with, I want the rest of the squad nearby to help them.
    Haddad: Seekers.
    Shoumin: Right. You see one of those, you check all points for the rest of the squad and let us know.
    Viyakwi: Understood, sir.

    Touchdown_zpsd2e78dd9.jpg

    Shoumin: All right squad, move, move, move.
    Viyakwi: All points clear, Squad Leader. Where to from here?
    Shoumin: There's too much high ground out there with that engineering tower and these lecture-hall roofs. We're going to breach this building and see if we can get a good look at the courtyard out there. I'll cover the corner there. Ejo, Viyakwi, cover the door. Haddad, you're going through the window.
    Haddad: I have always wanted to star in an American-style action film.
    Shoumin: Now's your big chance. Breaching on 3. 1... 2... 3.
    LZ_zps73b19558.jpg

    Ejo: It is empty.
    Shoumin: Good. Sweep continues, Squad. Viyakwi, cover the window there. Ejo, Haddad, prepare to breach the next room.
    Viyakwi: Still negative on contacts, Squad Leader. There is nothing out there.
    Ejo: We are ready to breach, Squad Leader.
    1Slowly_zpsb9d2b3c7.jpg

    Shoumin: Okay, Viyakwi, we move to support Ejo and Haddad. Ejo, I want you to cover Haddad as she moves into the room. Are we ready?
    Ejo: Affirmative.
    Haddad: Standing by.
    Viyakwi: Waiting for your mark, Squad Leader.
    Shoumin: Okay, Haddad, breach.
    Haddad: Breaching.
    2Breach_zps31da76fa.jpg

    Haddad: Change of plans, Squad Leader, we have three contacts.
    Shoumin: Give me specifics, soldier.
    Haddad: Three Floaters, sir. They have taken up cover positions, but they are clustered together.
    Shoumin: Do you have a shot?
    3Shot_zps78ebd099.jpg

    Haddad: A passable shot, sir, but I recommend we cover the room first.
    Shoumin: All right Haddad, stay put and hold your fire on that shot. Ejo, take up a position and hold fire, I want a look in that room before we do anything else.
    Haddad and Ejo: Sir.
    4InPosition_zpsa52639a3.jpg

    Shoumin: Okay, here's what we do. I'm going to put a frag underneath the two on the far side. Ejo, you think you can hit one of them from where you're at?
    Ejo: Without any difficulty, sir.
    Shoumin: Haddad, I want you in there to flank the third, and I want you to frag him and the one Ejo leaves up.
    Haddad: Understood.
    Shoumin: Viyakwi, when Haddad goes, you want you up here on the double, all right?
    Viyakwi: Ready when you are, sir.
    Shoumin: Wait for the frag to detonate, then everybody move. Frag is going out... now.

    [conventional explosive detonation]
    5Frag_zps3ee1bae2.jpg

    Shoumin: Move, Squad, move.
    Ejo: Firing.

    [conventional weapons fire]
    6Firing_zps110c15ac.jpg

    Ejo: One less contact.
    Haddad: Frag out.

    [conventional explosive detonation]
    7Fragging_zps7d097e1b.jpg

    Haddad: One contact is down, the third remains.
    Shoumin: Get up here, Viyakwi.
    Viyakwi: Running, sir.
    Ejo: Too late, Xray on the move.
    Shoumin: Heads down, people.

    [unknown weapons fire]
    8Lucky_zps0b46d463.jpg

    Viyakwi: That was lucky.
    Haddad: Lucky? I would like to see how well you shoot with grenade shrapnel stuck in your face. I will finish it.

    [conventional weapons fire]
    9Off_zps59c3fd3a.jpg

    Haddad: هراء.
    Shoumin: Haddad...?
    Viyakwi: I have him, Squad Leader.

    [conventional weapons fire]
    10Hitting_zps5aac9c3c.jpg

    Shoumin: Good shot, Viyakwi. Haddad, are you all right?
    Haddad: I may have been a little close to that second frag, Squad Leader. A little dizziness. It will pass.
    Shoumin: Keep me posted. Boy, we made a mess in here, didn't we. I hope that telescope's replaceable.
    Ejo: Are you even sure it was a telescope?
    Shoumin: Well, if I wasn't on Vahlen and Shen's respective shit-lists yet, I probably am now. Hopefully this MELD will help me out with them. Come on, Ejo, we're going to cover that door and have a look at that courtyard.
    Ejo: Copy, Squad Leader.
    Shoumin: Breaching in 3... 2... 1....
    11MELD_zps0df8709b.jpg

    Ejo: All points appear to be clear to me, Squad Leader.
    Shoumin: Yeah, I'm not seeing anything. Viyakwi, Haddad, come--wait, there. On the roof.
    11Seekers_zpsc7fba187.jpg

    Shoumin: Did you see them?
    Ejo: I counted two contacts, Squad Leader.
    Shoumin: Stay alert, Squad, we have incoming Seekers.
    Ejo: Standing b--.

    Ejo: I hit it, but the target is still up.
    Shoumin: Stay calm, squad, stay c--[unintelligible].
    14Shoumin_zpsea04b4d1.jpg

    Ejo: Nick. Squad, help me get this thing off of him.
    Haddad: I don't have a clean shot.
    Ejo: Just take it.

    [conventional weapons fire]
    15Wide_zpsfe5c0f1d.jpg

    Haddad: Nothing, no hit.
    Viyakwi: I'm going to come around.
    Ejo: Try to hold very still, Squad Leader....

    [conventional weapons fire]
    16Down_zpse89c8f29.jpg

    Shoumin: [coughing]
    Ejo: Nick. Nick, are you okay?
    Shoumin: Just.. lemme... catch... my breath....
    Viyakwi: I'm sorry, sir, but, what are our orders?
    Shoumin: Okay... Okay.... Viyakwi, go ahead... and cover... the far door. We need... to defend... this position.
    Viyakwi: Moving out, Squad Leader.
    17Cover_zps1f4a46ab.jpg

    Shoumin: Okay. We wait for that second Seeker to--

    [Sectoid vocalizations]
    Shoumin: Shit.

    [conventional weapons fire]
    18Contacts_zps4687e7e7.jpg

    Shoumin: All right, people, change of plans. Viyakwi, I want you through that door, ready to flank.
    Viyakwi: What about our missing Seeker, Squad Leader?
    Shoumin: It'll have to break a window or open a door to get to you, Viyakwi. Set up and stand by.
    Viyakwi: Going, sir.
    19Position_zpsa634f1c9.jpg

    Shoumin: Ejo, you have one of those mediguns?
    Ejo: Sir?
    Shoumin: Shoot me, I'm going out there.
    Ejo: Sir, perhaps you should--.
    Shoumin: The less time we give these fuckers to shoot at us, the better off we'll all be. Haddad, you're coming up here to cover Ejo, understood?
    Haddad: On your order, Squad Leader.
    Shoumin: Move.
    20Payback_zps196272dc.jpg

    [conventional weapons fire]

    Shoumin: Contact eliminated.
    Haddad: I'm in position here, Squad Lead--.

    21ShotsFired_zps1bec1d3a.jpg

    Shoumin: Squad?
    Ejo: Everyone is in one piece here, Squad Leader.
    Shoumin: Good. Great, even. Viyakwi, I want-- shit, hold on.

    22NewContactsFired_zps13f1bc70.jpg

    Shoumin: Three new contacts, people. I'm going to move to handle the Sectoid on the left. Ejo, Haddad, I need you to move up here so we can cover this courtyard properly; when that Seeker shows up, I want every one in line of sight.
    Viyakwi: Need orders here, Squad Leader.
    Shoumin: I've got visual on a MELD pylon near your last known position, Viyakwi. Get out here, grab it, and get a line to Ejo or Haddad.
    Viyakwi: Copy, Squad Leader, moving out.
    23MELDAgain_zpsf036a943.jpg

    Viyakwi: MELD located and... gathered, Squad Leader. And I have line of sight on you.
    Shoumin: Great, I'm moving to my target. Haddad, Ejo, get up here.
    Ejo: Moving, Squad Leader.
    Shoumin: Boo, motherfucker.
    24Shotguned_zps386ad9a2.jpg

    Haddad: Are you feeling all right, Squad Leader?
    Shoumin: Just letting off a little steam, Haddad. And the stimulants probably aren't helping.
    Ejo: We're in position now, Squad Leader.
    25Positions_zpsb32b464d.jpg

    Shoumin: Good. Everyone stay sharp, we still have four contacts unaccounted for.
    Ejo: I see one of them now.
    [img][/img]

    Ejo: No, two... no, three. Our three Sectoids are back in sight, Squad Leader, but they're hunkered down. they don't seem to see Viyakwi.
    Shoumin: Perfect. Viyakwi, we're going to put an end to this right--.
    27Strangled_zps86d1c56e.jpg

    Haddad: Contact, contact, contact.
    Shoumin: Shoot it. Shoot it again.

    28Clear_zps3cbbcf87.jpg

    Haddad: It's down.
    Shoumin: Ejo? Arugbo, talk to me.
    Ejo: I'm... I'm fine, sir. I'll be... all right.
    Shoumin: All right, I've had enough. Viyakwi?
    Viyakwi: Sir?
    Shoumin: Can you hit all three remaining contacts?
    Viyakwi: There's a... wall in between them, sir, but large windows.
    Shoumin: My apologies to the University of Ottowa, but I want this done before any more of my squad get hurt.
    Viyakwi: Understood sir. Stand by.
    Shoumin: Heads down, squad.
    Viyakwi: Rocket's away.
    29Done_zps438798c6.jpg

    Viyakwi: That's got it, Squad Leader. No contacts remain.
    Shoumin: Central, this is Squad Leader Shoumin. Any remaining contacts on your side?
    Bradford: I told you, Shoumin, our eyes are not as sharp as they could be down there. We corroborate no contacts on infrared, but we recommend caution as you finish your sweep.
    Shoumin: Understood, Central. Take it slow, Squad, let's wrap things up and bug out.

    OPERATION FIRST DAWN- TIME INDEX 1016


    Bradford: How are you holding up, Corporal?
    Shoumin: Had better days, Cent--wait, Corporal?
    Bradford: Yes, congratulations Nick. The Commander authorized your promotion while you were en route.
    Shoumin: Well, thank you sir. What about the rest of my squad?
    Bradford: Ejo's being examined right now, and I've already spoken to Haddad and Viyakwi.
    Debrief_zps9d33bfc9.jpg

    Bradford: Ejo and Haddad have both been promoted to Officer following their performance in the field.
    Haddad_zpsc2cc6801.jpg

    Ejo_zpsae21afb5.jpg

    Bradford: The university of Ottowa has some complaints about damage to the campus, but has also expressed gratitude. You kept the body and missing counts low, Corporal, and you brought home a sizable number of artifacts. I personally have no issue with your final decision to rocket the remaining contacts.
    Shoumin: Thank you, sir. We had two close calls, I wasn't willing to risk any more.
    Bradford: Things are getting more complicated world-wide, but North America, and Canada in particular, is back under control thanks to your efforts, Corporal. Take your time, get better, and come back to us when you're back at one hundred percent.
    Shoumin: Will do, sir.

    [redacted]: I never thought I'd live to see a day when the Russians would be begging to have a foreign spy satellite put into orbit over their airspace.
    Vahlen: War makes strange bedfellows of us all, Commander.
    [redacted]: So it would seem. To your health, Doctors, Bradford.
    Shen: 乾杯.
    Bradford: Cheers.
    [redacted]: How long till it's in place?

    Bradford: A few days sir.
    Shen: Sixty-eight hours.
    [redacted]: And Russia?
    Bradford: The Russian propaganda machine is working overtime. We've reclassified their Panic to Yellow 3. Publicity surrounding this launch and our successful operations against the invaders have made an impact.
    [redacted]: I never tire of watching the exhaust trail of a launch.... Well, my congratulations on the success of your negotiations with the Kremlin, Bradford. You've bought us quite a bit of breathing room in the budget.
    Budget_zps5af2f008.jpg

    Bradford: Thank you, sir. With this precedent set, I'm convinced that we should be able to negotiate for similar arrangements with any other governments we want to bring into the satellite network.
    [redacted]: Good, good. We're at a critical stage, Doctors, Central Officer. The next few months will make or break this project. If we can keep our budget balanced and increase our research funding, I'm convinced that we can support our soldiers and ensure their success in the field enough to parse what our visitors want, and turn that against them.
    Vahlen: And if what they want can't be twisted to our advantage?
    Shen: They have not initiated total war against us. Their objective must be sensitive and complex for them to take this much care in engaging our species. They have given us an opportunity: we need only identify it and grasp it.
    [redacted]: Just so, Doctor. Let's get back to grasping at those straws, shall we?

We will support you with additional information as it becomes available to us; I will personally be speaking to the French delegation regarding this matter. We hope you will extend the same courtesy to the Council.

    "smof": Relax, nobody in here has been doing this for very long. We're having a little difference of opinion with... well, the Commander, apparently, on whether or not this particular mission is an... appropriate expenditure of XCOM resources.
    Kores: I... see.
    Widerhallen: I hope you will not hesitate to break radio silence if it becomes clear that we are wasting our time down there, Squad Leader.
    "smof": You gotta pick your battles in the military wisely, Widerhallen, but I don't intend to have a shoot out with a couple of gang bangers that just knocked over a liquor store. I just hope you remember who's in charge out there.

    Well, you know. Second alien war the aliens rebuilt humans into their war machines.

    Figured that every human was an alien waiting to happen after that, adjusted some ROE. And here we are!

    Yeaaah but we also did shit like do random raids on various buildings for fun and profit.

    ...that reminds me I need to get my butt in gear on my "X-Com Is A Corporation For Proft Apocalypse LP"

    Maybe once this one's done!

    The cultists basically announced they were working for the enemy.

    As for other rating, that's why you get out the stun gear. It's basically rookie hazing extended to allied corporations in a show of good will.

    Good natured hijinks!
