I can't imagine the LP would go so badly as to reach this far down the list, but, if it does, I would look like my avatar and must die in a delaying action allowing everyone else to escape.

Intermission Base Report
Not much to do right now. We pick up some supplies, build a flashbang and a medikit, and research modular weapons.
Then a new mission site is identified - we have to go destroy an alien relay sending out a critical transmission. Cool, we like destroying stuff. The squad from the previous mission are resting up so it's 4 fresh faces heading out on this one, rookies LaOs, Tofystedeth, JayKaos, and ASimPerson. Let's go break stuff!

I downloaded a bunch of cosmetic mods but didn't get them to work until halfway through building people.
Also one of them is a bunch of street clothes but it's only for women, which is why JayKaos and ASimPerson look smokin' cool while everyone else is a combat dork.
I'm impressed grimoire managed a promotion with no kills. I almost always have to make a special effort to get at least 1 kill per squaddie one the first mission so nobody falls behind the curve.

I want to say the patch that went with WotC made it so that all of the rookies on Gatecrasher get promoted no matter what.

Intermission Base Report
The Shadow Council contacts us and requests that we investigate an ADVENT blacksite in North America, but in order to do that we need to develop radio communications with other resistance forces. So after Dr. Tygan completes research into Alien Biotech I set him on to figuring out how radios work.
We start construction of a Training Centre, and a couple of days later we receive a new mission - rendezvous with representatives of two different, rival resistance groups and escort them to a meet-up. Two of our troops will be escorting each of the contacts, so it's time to buddy up!
I feel like snipers might be useful here, I dunno, so both of our sharpshooters are going along. SanderJK will be accompanied by Jasconius, and MrGrimoire will be backing Tofystedeth up with some explosions. Have fun guys!
Those advent rifles are actually magnetic-propulsion ballistic weapons, not plasma weapons.
Hmm, you seem to have a suspicious degree of knowledge about our enemy's resources *gestures subtly to XCOM security*
Hey, everyone knows Tygan's deal, we all know we can't afford to be too picky. I just wanna know that if I get shot I'm not gonna have ballistic trauma treated like it's plasma burns.

Two missions and no one is dead yet? At this rate, the meatshield ranks will never deplete fast enough to get put in and die.

My only appearance request is the old-school X-COM style flat top.
My appearance request is loud, and disposable. Or robot.

Rk. SanderJK: We have eyes on the target.

Rk. ASimPerson: All right, we've got a train carriage up ahead, and I hear movement on the other side.
Rk. LaOs: Heading up top to take a peek.
Rk. LaOs: Hostiles in the next room. One of those freaky sectoid-human hybrids and its trooper buddy. I'm moving up into better cover.
Rk. LaOs: Two more troopers heading this way!
Rk. JayKaos: Well, that was enough sneaking around. Going loud.
{explosion}
Rk. LaOs: Both of them are still up.
Rk. ASimPerson: Not for long...
Rk. ASimPerson {Assault rifle fire}
Rk. ASimPerson: One down!
Rk. LaOs {Assault rifle fire}
Rk. LaOs: And there goes the second.
Rk. Tofystedeth: All right then, let's invite our other friends to the party.
{explosion}
Rk. LaOs: Lost visual of the trooper, don't know if he's still up. Sectoid is advancing on your position!
Rk. ASimPerson: Ughhh...
Rk. Tofystedeth: Ah crap, it's got Sim!
Rk. LaOs: Going to see if I can get around for a flank...
ADVENT trooper {Plasma rifle fire}
Rk. LaOs: Aaagh! I'm hit.
Rk. Tofystedeth: Well, that answers whether the trooper died or not.
Rk. Tofystedeth {Assault rifle fire}
Rk. Tofystedeth: Sectoid neutralised. Sim, you back with us?
Rk. ASimPerson: Bluh?
Rk. Tofystedeth: Yeah, you sound normal.
Rk. ASimPerson: Oh hey, there's ADVENT right here.
Rk. ASimPerson: {Assault rifle fire}
Rk. LaOs: Think that's all the hostiles. Time to hack the network... with bullets!

Rk. JayKaos {Assault rifle fire}
Rk. JayKaos: Terminal is destroyed.
