Well, we still had enough guys to go get that shot-down sub. There was only one alien out and about, and Dekker exploded it with a loooooooong bomb grenade after everyone else missed. Got some decent salvage.
April 3rd: Yay! Terror mission in Singapore!
On touchdown, the tank heads straight out the door, and right away spots a Gill Man with a sonic cannon, and shoots it dead.
Ravana heads around the front of the Triton, sticking close, spots a Gill Man on top of a building, and blasts it with a three round burst.
Broski, temping with the heavy cannon for Trashman while he heals, leaves the sub, spots a Gill Man down an alley, crouches behind the wing of the sub for cover, and shoots an HE round downrange. It explodes close enough, killing the alien. Broski will keep the landing zone clear, as best he can.
Coming around the nose of the transport, Ravana spots a Deep One, and decides that it would be best to try to take it alive.
It's currently just out of range to stun though, so she falls back, hoping to draw it in a little closer. As she turns back to hide behind the sub, she spots something in the office building next to the sub. It's a Gill Man hiding on the third floor, with a sonic pistol and command of the entire landing zone. (This will be problematic later; why don't I ever remember these things?)
Ravana fires some rounds in that direction to suppress it, and ducks behind the sub again.
Broski, seeing an opportunity, takes out a grenade, arms it, and tries to throw it through the third-story window.
After carefully assessing the situation, he reports that he can't make it through that tiny opening, and would rather not try and fail, and have a grenade falling dangerously close to himself, and also he would rather not keep holding the very live, and very ill-tempered grenade either. He decides to just get rid of it, and throws it down the alleyway, to make some entrance holes in the buildings.
Next turn, Broski and jr2 move toward the office building, with Lilith and Son of Dudeski preparing to take that factory. Broski moves through the hole created by his grenade, spots a Gill Man inside, fires, misses horribly, but the explosion from the miss still kills it.
Meanwhile, Ravana sprints out of cover at the Deep One, but runs out of TUs just short of being able to hit it with the stun rod, so she puts a few holes into it instead.
Turning back around, she spots a Gill Man through some piled tires and chainlink fence, lurking suspiciously.
Rather than walking around to get a clear shot and exposing herself to fire, she calls for help.
Scotty grabs a rifle, steps out of the sub, and coolly puts a single round through the Gill Man's chest.
Inconsiderate of just how cool Scotty was just then, the alien we left alive on the third floor snipes him in the back. He's down, unconscious, but alive, with three critical wounds in the left arm. He's bleeding pretty badly.
Dekker whips out his trusty medi-kit, and runs out to assist Scotty. He administers three shots of heal juice, and attempts to dash around the front of the ship. The alien sees this, is touched by the compassionate act, and blasts Dekker in the back of his head. But he lives! It's just a graze, but a graze by a sonic pistol is a dangerous wound.
EnsignDJ, having had quite enough of this, steps out, fires a couple of bursts into the building and the Gill Man drops dead.
In the other building, Broski and Son of Dudeski fire explosives into the factory, taking out two Gill Men and presumably injuring two Deep Ones.
Earlier, we had spotted an unarmed Gill Man just milling around on the second floor of the office building. My guess is that it was some sort of squad leader, because it was carrying grenades. It... dropped one and exploded itself.
Lilith closes in on the two partially wounded Deep Ones, and decides that they both don't need to survive in order to complete the objectives.
She blasts one, chases the other into that little room and hits it with the stunner. From that point on, it's a fairly routine bug hunt, with nothing spectacular to report.
Go med-kits!
