If yu need more cannon fodder, or a name to put to your sacrificial red shirts, I hereby report for duty Sah!

 

I work best as a psi sponge, or suicidal storm trooper. God I am glad we got clone vats. Hold the vodka, I prefer 90% proof alkohol instead!

From the spawning vats deep under the New Guinea base a deformed hand reaches from the alcohol solution. Surprisingly, the new spawn is decent with a gun. Welcome aboard, Cyberangel!

In North America, we're going to go on a probe mission to blood the new recruits while the squad heals up. If things go well, we might farm the base a bit before we come back with a proper assault force.

And it just so happens that we have forgot the armor...guess we're not going to stay long here. In and out fast.

Yes! Floaters! Mr. Buchard, FIRE!

 

post-575-0-64671500-1346731937_thumb.png

Both of the aliens drop in the opening volley of HE blasts! With that, Armand rides the lift back up to the LZ.

 

post-575-0-25293800-1346731938_thumb.png post-575-0-83377200-1346731938_thumb.png

Moments later, he returns and opens up on another pair that have approached the lift. Only one of them drops, and another alien is revealed down the corridor! Luckily, neither of them fire.

Leonid moves down to mop up the remaining aliens in the room!

 

post-575-0-51981100-1346732003_thumb.png post-575-0-18963200-1346732004_thumb.png

Seconds later, we hear the pitter patter of another alien. This time, a reaper. Leonid kneals down in the green room and opens fire!...but fails to kill it.

 

post-575-0-59114600-1346732004_thumb.png

With that, we shuffle back into the craft and head back to base.

 

post-575-0-99017700-1346732001_thumb.png

Hrm, only 4 dead? Looks like Buchard *insists* that he killed 3 and Leonid killed 2, but I guess someone stunned an alien then incinerated the body with HE autofire! Anyways, since this is a floater base it is ripe for the picking, probably even without our full assault squad. Any volunteers for transfer to AmeriCom for some *ahem* "training missions"?

I instantly knew that wasn't me. I'd never get out of an alcohol solution. Until it is gone, naturally.

Ok, ladies, Listen up. Your objective is the assault of a Floater base situated in the Canadian Arctic. Your primary task on this mission will be to capture the alien's Commanding Officer and return him to base for interrogation. You will be equiped with the best equipment X-com has to offer. Of particular note is the addition of a pair of small launchers to your squad's weapons loadout. The fate of our planet and our species is riding on this one. Good hunting.

Our craft launches and flies for the base site, situated in northwest Canada. We decend into the forest outside the base and our forces secure the entrance.

Sorbicol decends down the gravlift and radios back that he has IDed what appears to be the base control room. The alien Commander is going to be THAT WAY! With that out of the way, Reynolds and Buchard come down to secure the area around our LZ.

Thorondor pulls out his psi-amp and starts trying to panic what appears to be a floater flying around in the next room. Meanwhile, Leonid guns down the reaper that's on the ground with his AC-HE!

 

post-575-0-33641700-1347428354_thumb.png post-575-0-16379000-1347428355_thumb.png

Seems Thor failed at mind blasting that floater. Oh well! Reynolds drops the alien, while Buchard wastes another one that was coming in from the northwest.

 

post-575-0-09270200-1347428356_thumb.png post-575-0-53809700-1347428356_thumb.png

Moments later, Sorbicol and Leonid move to flank any aliens that will be coming into our team's kill zone. As Leonid moves out, he's shot in the back!

 

post-575-0-03863300-1347428357_thumb.png post-575-0-55596100-1347428357_thumb.png

He turns and tries to spot the alien that shot him, but all the squad can find is a lone alien carrying a small launcher...definately not what shot him...

 

post-575-0-85229700-1347428380_thumb.png post-575-0-45507700-1347428381_thumb.png

Ohhh hell...that looks like...a blaster launcher. Reynolds and Buchard rush him before he can get off a shot! The alien drops to the deck, dead!

 

post-575-0-06134200-1347428382_thumb.png post-575-0-20943700-1347428383_thumb.png

Sorbicol moves up to the edge of the funky alien room and comes face to face with a reaper. With limited time to get back into cover, he falls back and waits for Pete to come in and back him up just in case there's more aliens behind that reaper..

 

post-575-0-10391200-1347428384_thumb.png post-575-0-73585800-1347428384_thumb.png post-575-0-69601200-1347428385_thumb.png post-575-0-27296500-1347428386_thumb.png post-575-0-00436800-1347428387_thumb.png

Meanwhile, back at the command center, we hear the door open and a huge comotion as about a half dozen aliens pour out! Leonid sends one to hell on the south side of the room. To the west, we have 3 floaters and a reaper. Reynolds brains a floater, then Thorondor drops down the lift, drops the other two with a snap shot, then slides back up the lift. With only the reaper remaining, everyone else takes cover.

 

post-575-0-85968700-1347428387_thumb.png post-575-0-86892500-1347428400_thumb.png post-575-0-27802500-1347428401_thumb.png post-575-0-77462300-1347428401_thumb.png

Door! Two floaters come out of the command room to reinforce the reaper. Leonid sneaks around the corner and fires off his two remaining rounds. They hit a wall, but it's good enough to drop a floater. Thor comes back down the lift and takes a shot on the other floater...it's a direct hit and the reaper is downed in the blast, but that bastard of a floater is still standing and Thor takes one to the arm! He's whimpering in pain and dragging himself up against the west wall while Reynolds steps out and finishes that alien off!

 

post-575-0-17470900-1347428402_thumb.png post-575-0-71899500-1347428402_thumb.png

Sorbicol slips back from his position now that Pete has him covered to treat his CO. He then tosses the medkit toward the middle of the room for someone to pick up to go treat Leonid.

 

post-575-0-16843800-1347428403_thumb.png post-575-0-70396200-1347428403_thumb.png

BAM! Another floater and reaper are dead!

 

post-575-0-28504600-1347428404_thumb.png post-575-0-01364100-1347428420_thumb.png post-575-0-93723000-1347428420_thumb.png

Thorondor books it across the room, picking up the medikit along the way. He reaches Leonid and begins treating his arm wounds.

 

post-575-0-52741100-1347428421_thumb.png post-575-0-70841600-1347428422_thumb.png

That door opens yet again...but Reynolds is ready for him and pops him one! With that, he retreats back into cover.

 

post-575-0-54144200-1347428423_thumb.png

Seconds later, a hot blast of plasma streaks out of the darkness and strikes rookie Pete in the chest dropping him to the ground dead.

Sorbicol rushes for cover. That barrage of plasma fire nearly hit him!

 

post-575-0-37980300-1347683804_thumb.png post-575-0-96318700-1347683804_thumb.png

Leonid creeps back up on toward the command center and spots an alien through a window. They both stare each other down, frozen in place. Leonid draws his laser pistol and guns the purple bastard down!

 

post-575-0-34288100-1347683805_thumb.png post-575-0-95730400-1347683805_thumb.png post-575-0-42470700-1347683806_thumb.png

On the other end of the map, that floater that shot Pete comes back out looking for Sorbi. Thorondor fires off a stun bomb as he comes out, but misses. Sorbicol on the other hand, comes around the corner and does not. The alien drops to the ground dead in a heap on the ground. Afterward, Sorbi backs into a corner and covers everyone's left flank.

 

post-575-0-94325800-1347683806_thumb.png post-575-0-46732300-1347683807_thumb.png post-575-0-55236900-1347683808_thumb.png

In the center, Reynolds and Leonid gun down the next wave of alien scum!

 

post-575-0-36324200-1347683809_thumb.png post-575-0-96847400-1347683830_thumb.png

Ok, time to secure the area around the command center before we storm it. Thor goes around the east, and Leo clears out the west. To be safe, we're going to stun every alien we possibly can.

 

post-575-0-49775600-1347683831_thumb.png post-575-0-32512500-1347683832_thumb.png post-575-0-90483700-1347683832_thumb.png

Reynolds has moved through that purple crap and is now overwatching that damned room that is pouring out so many aliens for a few minutes now. He's spotted an alien!...but it can probably see him. Let's have Leonid shoot him in the back! Leo fires...just grazes him, and the bastard turns and fires..Leonid is somehow not wounded by this and Reynolds tries to kill the alien, but he too fails... time to go back into hiding!

 

post-575-0-45906500-1347683833_thumb.png post-575-0-93948300-1347683833_thumb.png post-575-0-08440700-1347683835_thumb.png

The floater moves on Reynolds and he guns that alien down and stands on the corpse. Seconds later, another comes out and they tag team him as well!

 

post-575-0-60339500-1347683836_thumb.png post-575-0-99101300-1347683837_thumb.png

Ohhhh yeeeeah!

 

post-575-0-42816900-1347683837_thumb.png post-575-0-78925900-1347683855_thumb.png

Leonid goes to grab that stun gun off the dead floater in the purple room and Reynolds books it over to loot Pete's corpse. We're going to go in there and storm that command center and make sure we finish this!

 

post-575-0-36269400-1347683856_thumb.png post-575-0-02291400-1347683857_thumb.png

And since Thor is so badly wounded, he hands over his gun to Armand so that he can be a bullet trap instead!

 

post-575-0-78444100-1347683857_thumb.png

Ok, 3 men with stun guns. Let's do this!

 

post-575-0-27725600-1347683858_thumb.png post-575-0-11848500-1347683859_thumb.png

Buchard opens the door and clears the doorway. He goes to the north, Reynolds and Leonid go to the south, and Sorbicol brings up the rear, just in case something needs killin'.

 

post-575-0-79439200-1347683859_thumb.png post-575-0-68698300-1347683860_thumb.png

Reaper! WHOOSH!

 

post-575-0-31175200-1347683861_thumb.png post-575-0-81125100-1347683871_thumb.png

On the other side, Buchard comes up on a pair of floaters. He fires off his only shot and prays....Both down!

 

post-575-0-69711900-1347683872_thumb.png post-575-0-30904900-1347683873_thumb.png

Annnd they are both leaders....we REALLY need to get a commander, hopefully he's in the control room.

 

post-575-0-32162700-1347683874_thumb.png post-575-0-73820600-1347683874_thumb.png

We've hit paydirt! Radio AmeriCom. We have the Commander. I repeat, we HAVE the COMMANDER.

 

post-575-0-89957800-1347683887_thumb.png

We took out 23 aliens this time and only lost poor little Pete 5? 6? I've forgot by now. Anyways, 1161 is totally going to get us plenty of extra funding from the great white north!

 

post-575-0-37897700-1347683888_thumb.png post-575-0-87775900-1347683888_thumb.png post-575-0-34110200-1347683889_thumb.png post-575-0-91452200-1347683889_thumb.png post-575-0-41425400-1347683890_thumb.png

And a review of the troops. Leonid was a total machine. His autocannon mowed down nearly a dozen aliens on this op. The hero of the day really. Sorbi, not so much, but he did give excellent cover and gained huge amounts of strength! Thor, dropped a few, but he was wounded early on in the fight so he wasn't used that much. Another standout was Reynolds, 6 kills!...but somehow minimal stat gains.. And finally Buchard, another guy with decend preformance, but minimal gains. Better luck next time!

 

post-575-0-99350800-1347683890_thumb.png

After getting back to base we sell all the loot on the black market. This nets us a cool 4.5 mill!

Time to get that Commander back to EurasiaCom so we can finally get to the bottom of this!

 

post-575-0-98493300-1348626606_thumb.png

Since we have no clones ready in Miami, Pete gets his 7th? clone in Europe.

 

post-575-0-51161600-1348626607_thumb.png post-575-0-98666600-1348626607_thumb.png

Mr. Pete will be joining the crew of Interceptor-1. Jman and Klaus, fresh out of the infirmary, rejoin Interceptor-2.

 

post-575-0-51749300-1348626608_thumb.png post-575-0-06051500-1348626609_thumb.png

And our interrogation victim arrives! Our remaining 25 scientists will continue researching the alien fuel source.

 

post-575-0-78835200-1348626609_thumb.png post-575-0-76256800-1348626610_thumb.png

135 should be enough to build all these medikits!

Our 35th UFO is detected near Malaysia. We wait on it to come closer and our Eurasian interceptor engages! Moments later, we have a medium scout falling from the sky followed by a trail of smoke. EuroSquad, you're up!

Time to go in and kick some ass! But first: Mero, welcome back!

 

post-575-0-90554500-1348803631_thumb.png

Upon landing, we smoke up and 4 troopers hit the dirt.

 

post-575-0-80982300-1348803632_thumb.png

Pete sets out for the south, and almost immediately finds the UFO! He hunkers down and waits for everyone else to clear in the east.

 

post-575-0-46766500-1348803633_thumb.png post-575-0-34516400-1348803634_thumb.png post-575-0-85591400-1348803634_thumb.png

SV kicks in the door to a farmhouse on his route. Once inside he spots a snake coming in from the opposite direction! He fires off a single stun bomb to no effect. Being outgunned, he retreats back behind cover.

 

post-575-0-78280300-1348803635_thumb.png

SV comes back into the main room and spots the bastard!

 

post-575-0-66352900-1348803636_thumb.png post-575-0-13447200-1348803637_thumb.png

He turns, and fires! SHIT! There's two of them in here and SV apparently can't hit the broad side of a barn! Guess it's up to Silencer to deal with them!

 

post-575-0-31729000-1348803654_thumb.png post-575-0-46035300-1348803655_thumb.png

Silencer rounds the corner and opens up on the two snakes. The splash damage just isn't enough to drop both. The remaining alien turns and opens fire! Silencer drops to the floor, dead...

 

post-575-0-39179900-1348803656_thumb.png

Luckily, Trogdor is just outside. He punches out the window, sticks in his plasma pistol and cuts the animal down!

 

post-575-0-22138600-1348803657_thumb.png post-575-0-79654800-1348803657_thumb.png

Moments later, another alien appears from that orchard that Pete has been covering for the entire mission! Pete and Trog join forces to waste'em!

 

post-575-0-45684800-1348803658_thumb.png post-575-0-43859200-1348803659_thumb.png post-575-0-60019900-1348803660_thumb.png post-575-0-56170900-1348803661_thumb.png

Meanwhile, that alien that Silencer fragged gets back up and books it out of the room! And SV proves once more that he can't shoot by hitting everything BUT the alien... Trog steps around the corner to save the day, yet again! With that taken care of, Trog pulls an explosive from his pocket and tosses it into the UFO. A muffled scream is heard in the midst of the explosion!

 

post-575-0-00792500-1348803681_thumb.png

Well, we won. Sucks to be Silencer.

 

post-575-0-68625700-1348803681_thumb.png post-575-0-08744800-1348803682_thumb.png

Days later, we learn of the results of the Commander interrogation! Seems the aliens come from Mars or something!

 

post-575-0-54456900-1348803682_thumb.png post-575-0-01710800-1348803683_thumb.png

After about a week, another UFO appears in the middle east. It damages the interceptor so we follow it to the ground and land. Double duty Eurasia Squad. Plus you're down a man, good hunting!
