Am I alive, do I get first dibs on the firestorm
Firestorm defaults to whichever pilot currently has the most kills. Which one that is... I'll have to check, might be you
And yes, you're still alive... barely and spend more time in medbay than in the field these days
So many landings, so few soldiers.
Guess what
We've got another one. Three in a row. Great for supplies, terrible for soldier's well-being
"I'm BACK, figli di putanna!"
"Digging the new body, Commander. It's just like that old fortune-teller lady said, except for the part where booze would lead me to a bad end. I'm just glad to still be out there kicking ass."
"Though we will need to make delivery proxy arrangements for a particular type of rum- who knows what might happen if I get cut off...."
You are now the second person here to make that reference
Seems like we've got an odd request on our inventory
What's that?
Some several gallons of rum...
But why the rum?
Since his initial mission, Patriot has made it his sworn duty to ensure that every single alien would fear his ideology and the swiftness of his delivery system. Course, he couldn't do that without making a big deal out of everything, but it's the thought that counts! He's a tough bastard to take down with his final perk adding Will to Survive
Another autopsy done and done, now to interrogate
A smaller UFO is on our scopes here
Intercept as per usual
Suppose the bright side to having all of these landings is that we certainly get a plethora of supplies from them. Makes providing assistance much easier
Hold on... we're getting a live feed from on of our Sats
Well, don't keep us waiting
You're not going to like it, another Transport has landed somewhere in France
Promote jr2 to Captain and prep the team
"I am going to eviscerate and remove ALL OF THEIR ORGANS AND WEAR IT LIKE A NECKLACE"
"This is the best idea I've heard! I, Mika, will assist you!"
"Where the hell did we get these people"
"Anyone seen my hairspray? I've got this one strand of hair and it's getting on my nerves"
"Here's some mother****ing hairspray"
"Oh man, the pulse laser... firing at an astounding 4000 rpm... I love it"
Big Sky is in the zone, deploying the team. Good luck out there
"Not that we need it, we eat Transport UFOs for breakfast"
"Yeah, right, how many people are in medbay right now?"
"Look alive people!"
"Dekker, you don't give orders. I mother****ing do"
"No one really gives any orders here, just suggestions"
"How many popped up?"
"Most likely all of them, destroy and move on"
"There's one more!"
"Learn to count people"
"Clear. Moving up"
"I hear them... they're on the other side"
"That's confirmed, sending them my regards!"
"Disabling for good measure"
"Eat my pulse lance you alien pieces of scrap!"
"****! We've got bigger problems here"
"Pull back!"
"Moving"
"Hold position"
"They're running underneath"
"Good, less of a problem"
"He's rushing! Watch out!"
"Christ!"
"You good?"
"I think I broke a rib"
"Should've waited for me to reload"
Benefit of close combat spec that I forgot to capitalize on"Way to tell us this after the fact"
"The snakes! The mother****ing snakes are back!"
"What a time to have a flashback..."
"You are less of a man than me!"
"Unusual, they didn't attack"
"Good"
"Mika, how the hell did you miss from so close?"
"I am just allowing them to live for a bit longer, tactically"
"Seems they have as bad as aim as you do"
"Let me blow something up"
"Going for it"
"Night night"
"They are hardly doing anything to us, past couple times they just maneuvered, no attacks"
"We've caught them off guard, odds are in our favour this time"
"I wonder how old they are"
"Probably pretty old, but they look it unlike you!"
"I WILL REMOVE YOUR LIMBS AND DUCT TAPE THEM TO MY ARMOUR. YOU WILL BE MY NEW ARMOUR"
"Anyone have eyes?"
"No contacts"
"There he is"
"Form up"
"The Mec is on his way"
"Take it easy, do it right"
"Here we go"
"Cyberdisc! They've got their usual drone escort"
"There it is, taking him down a notch"
"No longer a threat"
"Damn thing is still stan- er, floating"
"Give it another volley"
"Drones! I WILL CONSUME YOU ALL"
"Where... where are you going? Get back here... little *****"
"...Oh"
"We've got a Commander!"
"Repositioning"
"Where are they?"
"I think they're just below"
"I've got this"
"Time to say hi"
"Take that mother****er"
"Looks like they're not so much a problem anymore"
"Get this bastard"
"We've got him! Haha, god damn this was a lucky break"
"Holy **** Command is going to be pleased about this one"
"Looks like we're relatively clear"
"Breaching into the cargo bay"
"Thanks Gortina"
"Anytime, keeping the big guys tame is how I operate"
"That's... entirely too double entendre"
"Think you can come and flank us, I think not!"
"The packs of these guys are getting bigger by the mission"
"****"
"Speaking of packs..."
"Had to poke the beast didn't you Yari"
"This is going to go poorly if we don't pull something off"
"I'll approach from the side"
"Mika, get in there, you're our shield"
"Scout moving in"
"Medic, coming from the front"
"That's going to cost us"
"Apologies guys"
"No matter, keep yourself down"
"Cover is gone!"
"I don't like this"
"He's hit!"
"We need a medic over there stat!"
"Hold in there Yari, keep it together"
"Scourge! Watch it!"
"Risks need to be taken"
"Hell no they don't"
"Anymore explosives and we'd of leveled the entire ship!"
"Oh hell nah"
"I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU FEAR ME"
"Armour is failing here"
"Scourge is down!"
"God dammit it's all going to hell"
"Get the **** up"
"Easy shot Mika!"
"My servos are failing me here"
"Die you mother****ers. DIE"
"I will consume your VERY ESSENCE"
"Just a couple left here"
"We've got this"
"He missed a perfectly good shot"
"Hold up"
"BLARGHER!"
"Vitals? Does he have vitals!"
"That's a negative... he's dead, he's ****ing dead!"
"**** you!"
"Somebody shoot this little ****"
"Ay, I'm on it like I was on the A-Team"
"Someone get Blargher..."
"God dammit..."
"It's never good when the good ones fall... but know that this mission gave us a great deal. It's not in vain"
Tell the soldiers that what they're doing at there, whatever the cost, brings us closer to a victory over an enemy that only we can fight... that only we can win against. Those we lose, must not be lost for nothing
No matter how careful you are, sometimes there's that one alien that gets that lucky shot despite all the odds against him, and manages to take down a full hp soldier without even getting a critical hit
