I'll be adopting similar methods of presentation as NGTM for this. The recruitment list will still be in his thread, I'm just here providing a secondary platform for those who are currently awaiting deployment. Afterall, it's nice to involve everyone and I'm incredibly bored with profuse amounts of time on my hands
Due to the continued success of the X-COM Project, the Council has decided to fund a secondary team in order to further combat the extraterrestrial incursion. You have been selected Commander to take control of the Operation and Facilities in Africa.
Need I remind you, that you are on a tight budget and will not be receiving support from our Alpha site. You will be on your own. Good luck, Commander

As you can see by the footage that Alpha Site has recovered, the enemy seems to have dropped in pods like these all over the globe. While the purpose of these at first seems to be a preliminary assault against the general populace, we should not disregard other possibilities at this time.
Beta Site's first sortie will be landing outside the Egyptian border within the hour

Ignore the fact all of their names don't match up. Positions assigned by order from top to bottom
Patriot
SpardaSon21
Scourge of Ages
The Force
And for something a little different, I've got videos as well so people can laugh at my terrible decisions. I totally forgot about that Overwatch
Video logs from the soldiers cams has been compiled and distributed to both the Council and Alpha Site. Beta Site's mission and progress reports will continue as such
Commander's Log:
Being assigned to the Beta Site wasn't my desired place to be, but it's still a big job and I've got to see it through.
Our first mission wasn't entirely a success, the hot headed nature of some of the new recruits leaves a lot to be improved upon. This is not a time to make mistakes. While we are the second line of the last line of defense, we're most likely the fodder of this war. I've been told that anything Alpha Site brings in will remain at Alpha Site. I don't know if the Council is being paranoid, but I can't blame them. If one of those shipments were to get intercepted by the Aliens, it'll put a massive dent in our effort in combating them.
-
Slightly too many pictures of a cutscene to start. That'd have been a place to use video, too.
You should totally just repost NGTM-1R's assault on the Antarctica base when it happens.

Scourge's Log:
It's weird, you know? Back at Alpha, all I did was hang around the barracks and train on the range all day. They didn't let anybody near when they brought in "captives" or salvage. Sure, we all saw the guncam video, heard the debriefings, and talked to the vets...
But it's an entirely different thing seeing these little gray buggers up close, hearing their screams (language? I have no idea), and seeing their green insides become their outsides.
It's one thing visiting Irina or Polly in sickbay after taking a bolt of plasma to the chest, it's a whole new thing feeling that stuff burn through 2 cm of the finest body armor human science can make, right into your skin.
But here at the Beta Site, I finally feel like I'm doing some good, you know? Somebody liked the way I put holes in that alien, and my marksmanship scores were good enough, so I'm a sniper now. Sniping's a good job, mate. It's challenging work, out of doors. Plus slightly lower chances of getting plasma'd (again).

Consider that edited out. I was having too much fun
As for the next piece, not a bad idea
EDIT: Made some additional changes to what things are called. Thanks Scourge, Beta does sound much much better :p
-
Well, glad to see the reserves are getting some action. XCOM's limit of 6 soldiers can be rugh on Let's plays.
-
If there is a place, I would like to join...and become a MEC pilot when possible...but knowing my luck, I die on my first sortie^^
-
Thank you for making another LP deathfun. The queue list was getting a tad long for a one LP to handle.
-
ow!
If you get another Argentinian please make him mine, otherwise I'll just ogle from a safe distance :shaking:
-
I'll see what I can do about that, but I'm not so certain about the workings of country generation. The list by the way as it stands is the following
Active at Beta Site:
Patriot
SpardaSon21
Scourge of Ages
The Force
Swashmebuckle
BLARGHER
Awaiting assignments either at Alpha or Beta:
Gortef
TwentyPercentCooler
Hobbie
Herra Tohtori
crizza
Rodo (Reincarnation)
Commander, I see we were not wrong to have assigned you to Beta Site. I expect a full report at the end of the month
We've got incoming transmissions, seems like we've got a list of abduction sites. Where are we going to deploy Commander?
Before you decide Commander, it should be noted that Engineering could use some extra hands. Without additional personnel, we won't be able to get those satellites deployed as quickly
To further that discussion, we're short handed in the lab. If you want us to complete our research faster, we're going to need all the minds we can get in order to make those ends meet
I've made my decision. We're going to pay a visit to the British
With two soldiers recovering from their first sortie, we've brought in BLARGHER and Swashmebuckle. Sparda has lead with Patriot as 2IC

Mission Two Report. Note - Seems this Mind Merge can come at a costly price to the Sectoid currently being affected by it
Commander's Log:
Mission two was significantly better put together. Patriot and Sparda work well together, so I'll keep that in mind during deployments. A well oiled pairing those two
The rookies certainly showed up their higher ranked comrades today though taking out half of the aliens before Sparda or Patriot even touched one. They displayed far more battlefield awareness than was expected and that's something I won't forget. While we'll see how they operate together later on, I'll be sure to monitor their progress closely.
Council had also given me a handful of Engineers for taking care of the abduction problem. I'll make sure they're put to work immediately.
Things aren't looking so bad at Beta Site right now, but I can't shake the feeling things will only get more difficult. A recent report from Alpha Site didn't bode well for my breakfast
Oh, and I was about to commend Sergei for his observation, but I soon realized he just took credit from the mission report of Alpha's first mission. Guess he was just looking for some early recognition. I still gave him the pat on the back as it did help our troops, but let him know that things sent to the Lab should also be sent to me (Why I was not sent this report is beyond me). Cutting out the middle man during an Op could save our troops time, and possibly one of their lives
-
Scourge's Log, Supplemental:
Second mission came in successful, no losses, only one wounded. So good news, I've got company in sickbay! Those new rookies really cleaned up.
Though... BLARGHER gives me the willies a little bit. She claims that it's a pretty standard Brazilian name, but the way she writes it on every piece of paperwork, in all caps. And even just introducing herself, she sort of shouts her name. She's a pretty cool girl though, and first class with an auto-rifle.
-
Patriot's Log:
After being assigned to Beta squad, i didn't think i would like it this much. What with people coming into sickbay on a regular basis in Alpha team, didn't think i'd last two missions in a row without a scratch.
Aptitude for Heavy Weaponry, Commander deathfun told me after our first mission. After the second mission, Sparda got on my case for not hitting a damn thing in that run. Must be the gun itself, as i had my sights dead on those skitters.
Have to ask the Science and Engineering teams to come up with something to compensate for this lack of accuracy. Though i wouldn't mind if the Commander thinks i'm better suited to one of those MEC suits Alpha has, dem things are pretty nifty and i'd love to use one, even with the sacrifice of my limbs.
Addendum: What kind of name is swashmebuckle for a russian? I know Patriot is a weird name, but that has to take the cake, even BLARGHER is less weird than that..
Addendum2: Really wish XCOM recruited in Holland too, i HATE this belgian flag in my neck almost as much as not being able to hit aliens..

We've got goods news Commander. We've now the ability to augment our soldiers with Alpha Sites dubbed "Meld". I presume you wanted to get started right away so Engineering is already building the chamber to augment them into MECs

Mission Three reports a success with near flying colours (pun intended). As expected, pure energy enemy was within the confines of the UFO
Commander's Log:
While I can admire Sparda's certain gun-ho attitude, there's a great deal of risk in his tactical choices to put himself so close to the aliens. Perhaps when Engineering cooks up some stun guns like Alpha site it'll come in handy, but the risk he keeps insisting on getting himself in will get him killed.
At least the UFO Op went pretty smoothly. I'd feel sorry for any of the cows at that farm, but come to think of it, they probably had already been abducted well before then. Scourge definitely needs some more practice though. Sure, could blame it on the fact the sniper rifle is a bit unwieldy, but out there you can't have excuses... just results.
It kills me that I can't be out there myself...
-
Scourge's Log, Private:
My second mission, in the bag. No kills for me today. Didn't get shot. Sparda did, but he'll be fine in a pinch.
It's embarrassing... we had that little grey jerk surrounded. It should have been an easy shot. Like, 20 meters. I missed. Bah.
I could say it was the sights were off, or my footing slipped, or the gun was unwieldy. Truth is, I was nervous. The adrenaline rush from earlier had worn off, and while there's nothing by plasma could keep me from doing my job... it didn't stop me from shaking just enough at exactly the wrong moment to botch the shot.
Sure, Patriot took out that last x-ray clean and easy, but I can't accept this. Bought everyone a beer, and then spent a couple hours on the shooting range. Actually, I should head back for a bit before lights-out.
-
Looks like we'll be able to equip Sparda with some stun guns soon

Another promotionless mission, but it'll be something else when everyone only needs one kill and gets it at the same time
Mission four report. Standard sweep and clear, but ended with two injured. The scientists will be a big help in the lab though
Commander's Log:
Wasn't the smoothest operation, but I'll take it. I'm not fond with the injuries, but such is the case when you're going up against twice your numbers. They may be small, but they're not entirely bad shots when they want it.
The newly brought in scientists will be a big help. Faster we get those stun guns out the better

Patriot's Log, Entry 2
Goddamn skitters, almost took my arm off and left me winded for a while..
The medics assure me i'd hardly see a thing of my injuries after they were done with me, shame really, scars are chickmagnets..
Also, the commander assured me i'd be getting something to help with aiming this heavy Machine Gun so i can kill more things. I just hope it's in time before we encounter something particularly nasty and i can't hit a damn thing to do anything about it.

Dearest Mother, my rifle has it in for me. Commence operation Screaming Refund.

We are extremely impressed with the progress of Beta Site thus far, Commander. Your recent results were beyond our expectations... and that is not a statement this Council makes lightly
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1294511_10153475394490167_1108568291_o.jpg)
Commander's Log:
After mission four, things just died out there... it was eerie. While the troops managed to heal up nicely, everyone around here was getting a little uneasy. We did manage to get quite a bit done research wise though. Even witnessed the first autopsy in the lab earlier. I can't say it was the most pleasant of all sights to behold, but it did net a certain satisfaction seeing our enemy cut open on the slab. It makes me feel like we're making progress despite everything.
Engineering also has a few gifts for us (the least of which the Arc Thrower aka Stun gun). SCOPE and some sort of nano vest which is supposed to provide some small, yet good to have protection for our soldiers. Reviewing the reports, I realized that having at least one SCOPE handy would be ideal.
Oh, and for some reason, Council sent us a surprise care package. I don't know why, but I guess the intention for sending Fedora's and Berets amongst various dyes was to ease tension. Will admit, some of the soldiers were having some fun playing dress up

Commander, we've got more abduction sites.
Put them up, let's see what we've got...
Now yes, Patriot is a Corporal in this. Funny story, I had apparently not saved the last mission outcome so I ended up having to basically redo it. Everything is the same minus his promotion and 10 Meld which I tried hard *not* to get for the simple reason I didn't get any last time. Ah well.
With Patriot as lead and armed with SCOPE, Sparda makes a return with his in your face personality. He'll be carrying the Arc Thrower naturally. In hindsight, I've forgotten about The_Force so he'll be in next mission

Mission report five. Perfection at it's finest.
A great deal of this video is me just going herpaderp at the base. There was a ridiculous pause in missions
Commander's Log:
Damn fine work on the part of our troops... I think it's about time I pass out some of these medals I've been holding onto. We're doing quite alright. It's time to give our troops a further boost in morale.
-
Scourge's Log:
[koolaidman] Oh Yeah [/koolaidman]
On the last two missions, I finally got the hang of sniping. It's not just trooping with a pointier gun, ya gotta think differently. Get up high, support, choose targets deliberately, and take 'em out. The extra practice helped a huge amount, and I feel like I'm a credit to team. But those floaty cloaky things were freaky, yeah?
Supplemental: The whole team's really coming together. We're watching each-others' backs, and working smoothly and efficiently, just the way we like it. Also BLARGHER really shone on Operation Morbid Stranger (who names these, anyway? we got a whiteboard to thrown darts at or something?), she's a good sniper.
-
Commander's Log:
I've chosen two fine officers for promotion. Patriot and Sparda. They were that medal well, and hopefully it'll bring them good luck on the frontlines of the battlefield. I've also been receiving nothing but good reports from the Lab as well. They've cut open one of the sentinels and have come up with some interesting genetic concepts to help out our troops. While we haven't used any of our Meld yet, I'm contemplating both options.
Engineering is really pushing me about it though. They want to see what they can do with the stuff, but so far the soldiers all seem content with their current positions.
Meanwhile, I'm just hoping they can hurry up about the power. We're currently strapped to the max and they're taking their time excavating the steam for a thermo generator. Hopefully they get that done fast enough, some of the countries in Council are getting a little paranoid. I need more interceptors as well...
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1465981_10153475620485167_1916429595_o.jpg)

Patriot sporting the cool look with the red you're dead attitude

I AM THE NIGHT. Or so the intention lays. Hopefully the black paint job and badass stache combo intimidates the enemy
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1396789_10153475621830167_1466406205_o.jpg)
This is dead obvious. He's got the burns, he's got the hat, and he's got the mean green look. He's also Australian which I just noticed

Like the colour of the flag, BLARGHER will ensure it's the last thing the enemy never sees. Sporting the tuque to keep the hair away from the face. Ain't nobody got time for that
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1398391_10153475623245167_1532278656_o.jpg)

Commander, we've got no other Interceptors in range
We'll get it next time. Perhaps a Phoenix Cannon is in order...
Well the inevitable eventually happened. I can make it work

This seems awfully familiar...
Alpha Site came across a similar event a little while ago. Seems like they're at it again
Usual suspects for the mission, but this time I've included The_Force since I have been neglecting our rookie. Patriot will again resume as lead with his newly polished red armour

Mission Six report. The operation was met with quite a bit of resistance, very unfrenchlike. Of course, they were aliens, not the French. Medical will be busy for a while
Commander's Log:
It's deja vu. Conventional weaponry was used in the deaths of the French, and everything about it just seems off. This is twice now
Hopefully our captive will shine some additional light on the matter
Actually... I haven't heard anything from Alpha Site in a while. Reports seem to have stopped making their way over here. I'll get the Techs to take a look at things, maybe it's something on our end.
I've got a bad feeling about all this.

Wait, wasn't there a report from Alpha Site about something like this?
Probably, can't say for certain. There's been communications blackout with the Alpha Site for sometime now
Isn't Council privy to what goes on?
They just told me "Do your job" and cut before answering anything I want to know
With Sparda still in sickbay, it would appear that three snipers are going out into the field this time around. As much as I like snipers, why is it half of people who get promoted end up becoming them?
Either way, Patriot gets to try out his new body for the first time. Of course, he's painted in full red because intimidation

Mission report seven. We've lost a soldier today, but that was due to a bad call. Mistakes are costly, and this is no time for them
Commander's Log:
BLARGHER... a fine soldier. Had potential, but I suppose there's always flaws within each of us. I saw the report, and the refusal to listen to Patriot's call cost her her life. It isn't the first time I've lost soldiers under my command, and it certainly won't be the last. Still doesn't make it any easier...
Hopefully the gain is worth the reward. Seems like we've recruited a new soldier out of this, but I can't say I'm fond of having a criminal amongst us

Commander, you're requested in the Lab
*sigh* Alright, I'm making my way down there
You guys really enjoy this don't you
There is just so much to learn Commander... but we could really use a live specimen
There's been some delay in that Doc, but I'll be sure to get on that as soon as possible
Commander! Get to the situation room now

Mission report eight. Seems like the aliens are starting to increase their pressure. It was only a matter of time before the cities became a target
Commander's Log:
This show of force from the aliens is just... I don't know. Why did it take them this long in the first place? The hell is it that they want from us? It's been a while since they first came into our atmosphere, so why now? It's almost like they were waiting to see something... our capabilities perhaps? I don't know... I just don't
I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of these nasty little bugs. Seems like they're no match for the MEC... silver linings I guess
I can't sleep... nightmares have started up again

Scourge's Log, 22 April :
War... War never changes. Well, I mean, the enemy may change... and the weapons... and I guess the soldiers... OK war changes pretty regularly around here. But good people still die. That, at least, never changes.
BLARGHER was killed last mission when she banzai-charged the aliens. I want to be sad, but it seems strangely fitting. She would have liked to be remembered like this: even in death she helped the rest of us pull through and survive that fight. It just fits, somehow.
We barely had time to change our armor and raise a glass to her, when the next mission came down. Somebody in the op naming department must have felt it too; the op name? "Fallen Bell"
We got a fresh rookie in the squad, a Yank goes by the name Crizza. She's cool, and managed to score a solid kill under less than ideal battle conditions.
Otherwise, it was a fairly standard op: nighttime, fire, civilians, Sectoids, Flaoters, plasma, those new creepy crawlies. They all go down when pumped full of enough lead. Because war... war never changes.
Except now there are zombies.

Crizza's Log, 22 April:
Today was the day, but I wished for...better circumstances. Sure, I was most of the time in the gym, but moving to active duty for a fallen comrade...Blargher...a fine lady like me.
First mission was rough, went by the name of fallen bell...in Australia, why not?
I nearly puked all over Patriot while flying, can't decide if it was because of the flight, me being nervous or being jealous for Patriot wearing one of those suits...
Upon touchdown...it all blurred into one crazy thing.
We ran straight into two of those buggers who killed Blargher and I nearly pee'd myself.
And guess what, they killed one and send me after the other. Guess this it how it goes, you either win or die.
So I hunkered down and I could swear that freaking thing ripped a civvie apart outside...god...my triggerfinger was itching and I nearly went full auto when floaters showed up.
Missed that four legged freak but Scourge barely winged it, but...I signed up to kill freaking Aliens...and then a Zombie walked in? What kind of freak show is this? The Walking dead?
Killed it anyway, several hits, from chest to heads...felt good to, up close and personal...and then I nearly walked into another one only to miss it?
Gimme a freaking shotgun...
The good thing: The mission was good as over, so they ordered me to get clear.
The even better thing: I was promoted and they handed me a shotgun...
Guess they hope I won't miss at close range again. :D
If I live long enough...I'll want a suit like Patriot...What could be better than being a walking tank.
I'm out, need a drink.
Can I please be german? Would suit that crazy armor thing better :P

Patriot's Log, Entry 4
Well, my wish has been granted, though at first i had doubts about the Flamethrower, i'd much rather have had the extra mobility and a damn good excuse to yell FALCON PUNCH!...
But hey, now i get to kill things with GREAT FIRE! MWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!......
In any case, we lost blargher to a ****ing Thin Man(did i mention them being sons o *****es before?).
I told her to stay put, but noooo.... just had to run in and get yerself melted did ya? I still see it in the nightmares.. becoming increasingly more vivid and gruesome..
At least the second mission since my last log entry went just dandy, Crizza seems to be looking in my direction quite a lot.. Gonna have to talk to her about fraternization within the unit, don't want to complicate things too much in this unit, specially when someone dies, which is damn near an inevitability in our line of work.
Gonna shot some Vodka now with Scourge, see if that'll help me sleep without the nightmares tonight..

Mission report nine. Abductions are still happening quite frequently which does no good for the Council. Hopefully panic does not reach undesirable levels
Commander's Log:
Our team is really starting to come together as a whole. Patriot does a fine job out on the field, and I hope he keeps up the good work. Best part, is that he's always on the field. Guess having a lead that doesn't spend anytime in sickbay is pretty damned convenient.
The most recent endeavour netted us with another soldier. He goes by the name Ramirez which hopefully doesn't lead to any sort of... jokes. Of course, I suppose it'd be a good time for that. BLARGHER's death is still fresh in the minds of the soldiers, and being able to give aliens hell and crack shots at eachother will be in long run, better.
My leg is killing me right now though... still can't sleep. I've asked the Doc if she's got any sleeping pills on hand... hopefully they'll help

Seems like our disappearing act friend is more like an antenna, receiving signals from... somewhere
And?
Commander, it may too soon to tell, but this might by the key for finding whatever is in command
Keep me apprised of anything engineering and the labs come up with
Yes sir
Commander's Log:
This is by far the most progress we have made since the first days of the alien incursion. Two captures, and one seems to be a lot more than just a soldier on the battlefield. As much as I'd like to unlock the secrets behind it right now, the research time in the Lab is best spent on getting our soldiers better equipment. Not only that, but our captive might hold a few secrets of his own which hopefully benefits us later.
Ramirez proved himself today as well. It's good having another soldier who gets things done. He'll be seeing a lot more action in the coming days, as well as the rest of the team.
I'll be handing out some medals as well. The team deserves that.

Since I'm spending most of my time on Alpha site in the hospital, I guess I could headcanon it it as being on lease to Beta site.
Taht assautl you mention? Yeah, I'll take hte position. Just don't give me the shogun(s). I like my rifle(s). The Alloy Cannon is the exception
-
I've got three more missions in the bank right now waiting for posts, but the next one after I'll be sure to rename (unless someone who *isn't* already in the game steps up)
-
Seriously considering replacing medpacks with vodka. Disinfects, anesthetizes, steadies uncontrollably shaking hands. Not that I know anything about that last part.
-
Commander, the interrogation with the Floater subject has just been completed
Send me the report. I want to know if risking our soldiers was worth it

Mission eleven report. Whatever it is about Nigeria we'll never know, but at least we don't have to move too far which makes collection easy
Commander's Log:
What the hell is it about Nigeria? Whatever, unimportant. Another solid mission in the bag, and another plethora of equipment in our arsenal. We're making progress, and it feels it. The lab techs especially. They haven't had a break since the beginning, and the amount of research they still need to complete is just piling on right now.
I've got them focusing on interrogations as they come in right now, but we definitely need some better equipment for our soldiers. One of the techs suggested I hold off building any laser weaponry. At first I thought he was an idiot, but then he pointed out the uses we could get out of the alien tech. We wouldn't have to build it, and it'll level the playing field tech wise.
Looks like our troops are going to have to hold off for a little while longer.

Crizzas Log, 4th May
So far, so good.
Three missions, four kills and...one long stay in medbay. Not that I want to complain, better hurt than dead.
And Geez, that truck...With these cloacking snakes around, going on a camping trip in Nigeria seems to be a bad idea.
Had to consult a psychologist after the last mission, turned out I have some sort of snake phobia.
Although I was deemed combat ready, my shoulder still hurts sometimes, but considering how much plasma was flying when I was hit, I could as well be nothing more than a picture on that wall. Guess I need to appease the spirits and offer some booze. I don't want to join Blargher yet.
I keep wondering: With Patriot being turned into a walking tank, what else is possible? Is there maybe a way to make soldiers tougher, without sacrificing humanity?
-
yay! you got another Argentinian! I want him oh yisss.
-
Woah, wait a minute.
Does being in a MEC suit means a soldier got his arms and legs cut of, his torso encased in metall too?
So a MEC trooper is... a human head on a...metall box?^^

Pretty much really. Very little about a mechanically augmented soldier is biologically human
EDIT: The above statement is inaccurate, but was referring to more what it seemed than actual reality. See IronBeer's post on the next page
As for making soldiers tougher without sacrificing humanity? I've got plans for you in that regards
Grand plans
yay! you got another Argentinian! I want him oh yisss.
Oh yeah
You're totally being renamed in that case. My apologies Trash
There's still a couple missions left before any of that stuff happens though. Had a binge

I admitte, I read about the Gene Mods ;)
Have some sort of Log entry in mind and I love my pruple armor :D

Commander's Log:
Things are going far too smoothly right now... I dislike it. No matter, I've prepared for that and have been told that new armour pieces will be available for the soldiers later this week. Hopefully we don't deploy until then.
I just can't shake this feeling...

Crizzas Log, 9th May,
My little Cousins 25th birthday, gotta send him a message after writing this.
So...I somehow missed my promotion to Corporal...and still no nickname, but hey, these buggers failed to take of my hand and as reward, I send to of them to the...well, dunno if they have gods or something...lets say I shredded them.
But Jesus...I saw Patriot out of his MEC...this guy is nothing more than a friggin head on a box... went to Command after the medals had been granted...I demanded to not be taken into consideration for MEC duty...if possible, I want to have babies if I survive this whole mess...not some toasters... no wonder Patriot has this burning hatred for aliens...guess sacrificing your humanity turns you into a pyromanic killer, he nearly roasted Ramirez as well.
Speaking of toast and roast... I'm hungry.
Signing off.

Subject: A word about MEC augments
Corporal crizza,
I don't generally interact much with personnel from the other site outside of technical research, but a "mutual acquaintance" suggested to me that there may be some misconceptions in Beta Site about the MEC augmentation process. I'd be the first to admit that the process can be unnerving even for people familiar with it, but some of the rumors that are apparently circulating among some in Beta Site simply aren't true.
First and foremost, the process only replaces the volunteer's limbs- the volunteer's torso remains very much organic and natural save for a half-dozen nerve interface ports that are used solely for operating MEC armor. Additionally, and I even had to specifically point this out to Alpha Site volunteers, post-augmentation volunteers are perfectly capable of romantic performance. With regards to "power trips", our studies are inconclusive, but suggest that the psychological effects are fairly natural and should dull over time. Captain Patriot's apparent pyromania is likely rooted in this phenomenon and is amplified by feelings of "sticking it" to the aliens. Rest assured, the Beta Site MEC Project team and I are carefully monitoring our respective volunteers.
I don't think anything less of you for not wanting to be a MEC volunteer, and from what I've seen you're a great operative. Keep fighting the good fight, Corporal.
Sincerely,
Dr. Vincent "IronBeer" Zokus
HLPX-COM
Alpha Site MEC Project Lead

Now THAT'S a crossover post. Solid one IronBeer
Tell me some good news Doc?
I've actually a few things Commander. For starters, our techs have developed a new form of armour with an interesting addition. We've integrated a grappling hook mechanism so that our soldiers will be able to bring themselves to new heights

Finally, I'll get Engineering to whip a batch of these. It's good to have some survivability for our soldiers... and the next piece of good news?
The most recent interrogation subject... the Muton... has given us a great deal of insight into their plasma technology

What are you trying to say Doc?
With his knowledge... we should be able to field plasma weapons for our soldiers to use within a week
Commander to the situation room
Nicely done Doc. Seems like the Council requires my presence...
Oh, and Engineering wanted me to tell you that the SCOPE upgrade has been completed

Mission thirteen report. One severe casualty due to a bad call. Capturing of the targets turned out to have been a failed attempt at best, but at least we made off with one
Commander's Log:
The team won't have much time before they're sent out again. I've instructed everyone at base to prepare quickly for the next sortie. It's going to be a big win for us

Patriot's Log, Entry 5
A couple of missions of just pure bliss. I got to set **** on fire, torch a diner AND freak out Crizza during RnR.
The look on his face... priceless!
Looks like we'll be boarding another one of those battleships, what's with these stupid alien pricks that they have to try something a second time just to make sure they failed miserably the first time..
Really hope the commander pushes those science types to get that UFO Power Source thingamajig research going, pretty sure it'll help out the MEC project. Saw one of the Alpha boys using a grenade launcher on his MEC, looks sweet. The thing fires Alien Grenades even, which is even better.
Time to inspect my flamethrower again, throwing a barbecue on that battleship when we board it, oh yeah, toast sectoid.. the stuff of legend i tell ya!

Rodo Ramirez log, Entry 1:
Y bueno...me mandaron al frente a noquear un par de aliens y termine siendo un magneto de plasma.
Supongo que es porque soy el "rook" como me dicen, pero me lleve una buena paliza esta vez.
16 días en reposo según el doc, parece que me voy a perder el asalto a la mothership, una mierda. Tenia ganas de ir.
En fin, voy a seguir tratando de levantarme a la enfermera. Siempre que le hablo dice que no me entiende, pero yo se que se está haciendo la tontita.
*laughs
Ya le voy a encontrar la vuelta.

Mission report fourteen. Our troops seem to have an affinity for getting themselves poisoned which isn't doing them any good. Zhang nearly died, but we now have secured the battleship
Commander's Log:
It's a shame we won't be able to use the battleship for much else other than the stripping of it's most useful parts. These fusion bits are most impressive, but I can't see them being mounted on our interceptors. Perhaps we'll have to create ourselves a new mounting platform in order to make full use out of it. I guess in the meantime, we'll continue with plasma research
Speaking of which, had the Council waited just a little bit longer, we could have resulted in a far smoother operation. Conventional weapons are starting to show their end of use with this new enemy in the playing field. We just can't field enough damage against harder targets which is going to be a problem.
Either way, we're making some damn fine progress here.

Crizzas Log, 18 May
God damn it, I wasn't even aware that all of the higher ups read the logs. I thought they were only available in case of death, well, surprise.
Whatever the doc thinks...if I'm not able to touch my potential children with my own human hand, they... don't understand.
Anyways...Septic...don't even know why I got this name, I mean, I was hit in the last mission, but come on, it would fit to a medic...but not to an alien shredding assault girl like me.
The operation went smooth, my sixth and I still have all of my bodyparts.
Killed some sort of flying dish... aliens, you never know what they come up with, eh? Sparda freaked out near the end, but heck, he wasn't wounded at all...
But the doc tells me I have to stay nine bloddy days in medbay...with Zhang...lucky me.
At least my kill tally is nice... 6 mission, eleven kills.
Septic my ass...hope someone brings me some booze.

Mission report fifteen. The UFO went down after a long engagement and our team was sent in to secure the site. Surprisingly enough, the resistance was minimal
Commander's Log:
Raven-1 took down something that I would definitely consider an impressive feat. While nothing in comparison to the ship over China, we didn't take that thing down with good ol' conventional firepower. Score one for humans.
Not only that, but our newly equipped plasma weapons showed those extraterrestrial bastards just what we can do with a little effort and determination. If this doesn't strike a chord within their ranks, I don't quite know what will.
Though, the fella in Engineering keeps going on about suspicions being confirmed that they're here for more than just what appears to be ransacking and abductions. That thought troubles me since we don't know the answer to it.
Great, now the pain in my leg is back. I should consider getting it removed...
-
I would take a chitin plate if available and once we have it and I'm still alive, ghost armor^^ :nod:

Patriot's Log, Entry 6
Apparently these logs aren't safe to plan barbecues in anymore, had my license to burn **** removed for the Battleship takeover :(
Although that mission went rather well, only 1 wounded in the form of Crizza, that crazy woman, we did just fine. Troubles me that Sparda started freaking out after a Muton went all "what you gon' do about dis!?" at him, they done it before but this time it worked. Gonna have to have a talk with him about that, specially the freakin clowns, wtf is up with that?
Our interceptors took down a big UFO over the good ol' US of A. My license to kill things with the GREAT FIRE OF ****ING FURY was reinstated, only had to use it once though, and it was outside, so i guess i shouldn't get reprimanded for using it during a UFO search.
Now, time to get drunk as hell. One perk of having mechanical limbs is that you can't tell if the user is drunk until he or she starts talking. Hehehe..
Of course, no drinking on the job, Rule #4 of being an XCOM operative that is.

Commander's Log:
EXALT... their very existence is an affront to the human race. Why would anyone sacrifice their lives and in the process, the lives of the entire planet? It makes no sense! It just doesn't make any sense as to why anyone would actively help the aliens. I could tell the Council had similar sentiments in that regards, their tone displaying that nicely. I've had to kill another human being for my country, but this is different. This is a fight for the survival of the human race, so having to engage against your own kind just... it just baffles me.
There's always sides to a conflict. I just can't wrap my head around why someone would choose to side with anyone but their own in something like this...
Perhaps The_Force will uncover their reasons as we locate the cells. Fanatics...

Still hurt and yet another assault trooper -.-
Untill now, I did not know that assault trooper could use plasma weaponry.
Just read about it and now my assault trooper carry plasma rifles untill I get alloy cannons :D

Yeah, it's hilarious awesome when you combine all their abilities
And yeah, another bloody assault. Before I was swimming in snipers, now I'm swimming in assaults
I could use a secondary medic in case Swash isn't there to save the day

As you can see, I do have two additional slots for anyone to fill. Otherwise I'll try to keep to what we have as best as possible
Mission report seventeen. This is the first engagement against the EXALT threat. They operate not unlike us and have similar capabilities. They seem to focus more on numbers in order to overwhelm. EXALT soldiers also have little regard for their own lives as seen by their charging in
Commander's Log:
EXALT. An organization hellbent on stopping our efforts with little regards for their own lives provided they were spent keeping us from obtaining our goals for saving the human race. How did these people just decide to betray their own kind? What sort of fanatical drive have they decided to follow? These questions I doubt will ever be answered, but I've instructed Rodo and Sparda that perhaps we ought to try taking one alive. If we're lucky, we might be able to further narrow our search for their Base of Operations or just simply get some questions answered.
On a different note, I'm quite pleased with the progress Engineering has made these past few weeks. Our troops are being outfitted with better gear each time they get sent out and that bodes well for them being able to come home. The unfortunate part, is that they don't always come home 100%
I've need to see what we can do about that... nearly forgot some options in Genetics actually. I think I'll hold off on those until we can get Patriot up to full snuff. Having a bullet sponge (he hates me calling him that) and an intimidating figure (doesn't mind that one) on the field certainly aids in keeping casualties down.

Mission report eighteen. Crizza took two hits and won't be moving on his two feet for a long while. No civilians were encountered when the team arrived, but seems like a few curious souls decided to pay a visit when our cleanup crew arrived on site
Commander's Log:
Say what you will about pilots, they get the job done. Helps to have plasma cannons, but you still need the human behind the sights.
We're still trying to wrap out heads around what happened to Scourge. Is this new alien technology? He seems to be okay though. We've got the docs checking him out just in case though.
Council is again, pleased with our performance thus far. The funds they've given us is going straight towards base expansion as we speak. Satellite coverage is still something we need so I've made that a priority for Engineering to take care of.
Speaking of which, I've ordered some more Interceptors across the globe and will have them outfitted with cannons. Those things pack a serious punch...

Crizzas Log, 5th June
Horray...my birthday is in five days...and I have to stay in hospital for 14 ****ing days. Lucky me, could be dead as well...not that I asked command for chitin **** to gear up.
That plasma ****gun helped nothing at all when I stumbled into two mutons...
Now those damn rooks are going to outclass me, could as well volunteer for some resreach ****, but guess not while I'm in medbay.
Maybe the doc can put me into artificial coma...he sort of has to do it, or these 14 days are gonna be very bichty...
-
Wow, you weren't kidding about Scourge. He just kind of NOPE'd out of existence there.
(Dunno if it's just me, but some of the images in your posts aren't showing up, especially near the end of longer posts. Your last one just has all of two shots in it.)
Edit: I think it is on my end, because the same thing just happened with NGTM-1R's last post. Crud.

Scourge's Log:
The shakes are back. Ever since I ran into those two buggy things a couple weeks ago, I couldn't help feeling that I'm a hair's breadth away from getting straight up murdered by these things. The doc gave me some meds to help out, and they do, but... I've also been sneaking out a flask of scotch ('cause I'm classy) in my nifty new vest. A nip in the Skyranger seems to help a huge bit, and none of my buddies seems to mind.
I've been scoring headshots and taking out dudes left and right.
This last mission, we went up against this odd group of guys by the name of Exalt. They are creepy sons of sheep.
Back in the war, I got my share of combat against human combatants, back when all bad guys were just human guys. So you'd think this would feel the same. Every soldier I've known - well, every one who's not a closet psychopath - has trouble with taking the life of another human; we work through it as best we can, and deal with stuff later when we get home.
These Exalt guys though... They feel different. They're BIG suckers, and they may look like regular (big) people, but the way they move is just off. You can look into their eyes when they charge into heavy fire, and you can see it: They're already dead and they know it. To me at least, it seems like they're already part alien.
Whoops, rally alarm. I'll finish this log up when I get back, and probably merge the next mission into it.
UPDATE: OK, no more mixing scotch and anxiety meds. I don't even know.

Another couple missions, another couple kills. Man that tally is growing..
Also been promoted to Colonel.
Scourge accidentally all the things in that last op i think, i mean, wtf. One moment he was scooting up the pillar, the next he goes into darkness only to pop into existence when i was about to give up on him and board the skyranger.
Heard about a particularly grim death in Alpha site, man those guys can't catch a break can they..

Mission report nineteen. The team went into Japan to take care of a handful of aliens abducting civilians. Their reports indicate an ability we haven't yet seen from the Cyberdisc, but proves highly effective in dishing out pain
Commander's Log:
Morale took a plummet. A soldier who was known to give no ****s and kept showing the aliens no fear as he stormed their lines in pink armour was killed on an operation not long ago. I can see it in Patriot's eyes. It's something we all don't want to accept, but we know it as a possible inevitability.
Reports coming in from Alpha Site have been rather scarce... but it seems some are getting through. None of which are particularly... well great. I have reason to believe EXALT is either cutting off our contact somehow and intercepting our reports... or that there is a mole within our ranks. I don't want to believe the latter of these options... ignoring it would be unwise however. It would explain why bad news gets through and not much of anything else.
It's either paranoia, or they're employing psychological warfare on our entire facility.
It's working... that IED memory keeps coming back to me so vividly...
-
If anyone is interested in seeing the bull**** mission that I had to void, it's this one here.
Basically, the mission went relatively well, but we lost one of the newer recruits. This was because I was an idiot and placed her on a truck which promptly got destroyed by a rocket launcher.
Which would have been fine... if The_Force didn't randomly die from "Severe Trauma from an Unknown Source" upon arriving at the base. First Scourge grapples into the abyss, and then someone dies from an aneurysm upon exiting the Skyranger
What's next? Flying Mechtoids? Terminator Thin Men?
Mother in law?
Our base is coming along Commander. Another Lab has been constructed and we've got techs moving there to begin research right away

Mission report twenty. The operative was extracted successfully and we have yet another piece to the puzzle. Our attempts at capturing one of the EXALT soldiers alive was met with brutal results. Seems each is equipped with a syringe filled with a neurotoxin to ensure they aren't taken alive.
Commander's Log:
God dammit! I sort of expected this sort of thing to happen, but I wouldn't of minded catching a break in regards to these fanatics. The Labs analyzed the compound found in the syringes and found that it's an entirely new type of toxin. It acts far too quickly and without a counter, I've instructed all personnel to avoid stopping them if they choose to take their lives. We can't risk the EXALT soldier injecting one of our own.
Patriot seemed a little off after exiting the lab earlier. Seems he was rather disappointed to see that we couldn't salvage the plasma weapons off of the Mechtoid and somehow strap them onto his own suit
Speaking of which, it alarms me. Seems the fragile nature of the Sectoid is being countered by putting them into a more advanced MEC suit. More alarming, is the theoretical capabilities of these suits. According to the techs, while the Sectoid itself seems to have an inability to use its mind abilities, when the suit is merged with another it seems to amplify the effects. This is only a theory, but it would appear that the amplifications will create a shield to protect the user.
I've notified the troops of this, and have also told them to get this on tape. The more research on it the better

Mission report twenty one. The aliens managed to slip under our radar and began attacking the city. The team performed a clean sweep, but unfortunately not everyone could be saved
Commander's Log:
This one was pretty close to home. Fitting that the op was called Bleeding Mother. While it isn't the Motherland for me, it is for Beta Site. If we can't defend our own doorsteps against these aliens, how can we do it on someone else's? Good thing we proved to the aliens that we aren't a force to be trifled with. The deployment of the Plasma Sniper was a huge success putting down what we currently know as one of the most durable enemies we've encountered.
The_Force is doing quite well despite having been constantly sent out on missions alone. Loneliness can do a number on a soldier in harsh conditions and though we're equipped to deal with basically anything... everyone has a breaking point.
I just hope we don't find that out

Patriot's Log, Entry 8
Went to the labs earlier this week, checked out the Mechtoid autopsy report and asked Doc Vahlen(err, how do we name her in our site anyhow) to give me some details. Turns out the Mechtoid's pilot, your run of the mill Sectoid, is just a head, as Crizza thought i was before Doc IronBeer burst her bubble. Also, when another Sectoid does the mindmeld thing on it, it gets a shield. I'm pretty sure one could harm the Mechtoid by killing the Sectoid generating the shield, like getting a two-for-one for two normal sectoids with such a mindmeld. Gonna have to test that out when i get the chance.
On our latest anti-terror op i got curious, wanted to know if those disks can be burnt. They can't, which was my expectation. Little disappointed in any case, love to burn **** soooo much!
The guys and girls of our outfit may be eye-ing me with a little suspicion as to my mental health, but i can't assure them i'm fine, cause i'm pretty sure i'm not. Losing your wife of 12 years to these alien bastards does things with your head.. I SAW her body in Berlin, where i told her to go when i was signing up for the XCOM project. ****ing bastards eviscerated her like it was nothing, and they're going to pay..
Also can't find my son in the XCOM list of dead civilians, yeah we keep a list so we know if our families and friends are still alive. I'm assuming he's still alive, cause my sister isn't dead either, and i sent him to live with her. Heard Alpha got their families into their base, gonna ask the Commander to do the same for us, that kid means the world to me now my wife is gone..
Note to self: Smack the commander for joking about Terminator Thin Men, that **** is NOT FUNNY. Even less so with what happened to the guy from Alpha..
Time for a drink with Scourge, becoming jolly good pals along with Sparda. Heh.. thought i'd never make actual friends in this place, turns out i was wrong.

Commander, I've got a request I'd like to make
What is it Patriot?
It's about my family...
You want to find them... bring them onto the base
A similar directive was initiat-
...Initiated at Alpha Site, I'm aware of this. I can't go against the orders of the Council... but if someone were to say grab a few volunteers and go out under the premise of alien activity in certain areas..."
Understood Commander... thanks
Now, I don't need to know anything else about what you aren't about to do. In the meantime, I need you to scramble your team for an abduction sweep in Argentina
On it sir

Mission report twenty two. Abductions are getting increasingly easy to deal with. Our snipers are simply put, not to be trifled with
Commander's Logs:
Patriot came up to me earlier. I had to officially deny his request for civilian extractions, but unofficially he's got a greenlight. It is my hope that Council doesn't decide to pull the plug on the operation due to the site being possibly compromised. We've done the checks long before this Project ever came online and aside from a few exceptions, they're clean enough.
I take a great deal of risk with this decision and will take full responsibility if it is to fail. Morale can plummet when you see a family grieve for their fallen loved ones, but on the other hand it can reach new heights and perhaps keep a certain degree of sanity in our troops.
Least I can do for them. They've fought hard, and some have given more than they ever should. For gods sake we took off Patriots limbs and replaced them with mechanical counterparts! Everytime he steps onto that field he's bound to get shot at least once and despite the armour holding incredibly well, it can take a toll psychologically.
I know about the toll constant barrages can have on a soldier. Everytime I get up and walk with this gimp leg I am reminded of how I failed so long ago. Had I just seen that IED sooner... my brother would still be here...

Scourge's Log:
So, I guess we're bringing everybody's family on-site. This is a... an odd idea to me, I guess. Part of my brain says, "what purpose could having more civvies around have?" and another part being all, "EXALT is a serious threat and family is potential leverage to them, plus having folks here will really help everyone feel a little safer."
I'm happy with the plan, and even more so with need for secrecy; this is the sort of thing I'm cut out for. All that time in the SASR has been a huge benefit, but I think this might be the first time this war where I get to be all sneaky. No Skyranger this mission, it's going to be all helicopter, truck, trenchcoat and fedora stuff, mate. We're going out in teams of two, and everybody should be back in 24 hours. With luck, nobody will miss us.
Almost makes me wish I had family out there, but everybody I know is already here.
P.S. To any council oversight reading this: ha ha, got you! lol, huh?

Give my regards to the soldiers Commander. I know putting yourself that close to these aliens to take them alive isn't an easy task
They know the risk, and they also know what live subjects have done for us thus far. Have we learned anything from the Sectoid?
Nothing of significance. Seems like we know more than it does now
Commander, the Council is requesting your presence immediately

Mission report twenty three. The operation was a success. Thin men were scattered on the bridge managing the bomb, but were quickly dispatched and the bomb diffused
Commander's Log:
With the nearby city ravaged by plasma fire, I don't quite see the point in destroying a bridge that barely anyone can get across. Seems pointless, but I guess they figured it to be a strategically sound idea. Guess it was just a way to flush us out into an ambush... not a very good one either.
I've also been informed that sickbay has improved their facilities. Guess our soldiers won't be out of commission as long anymore.

Rodo Ramirez log, Entry 3:
Hoy tuvimos una mision en un puente, vista muy pintoresca pero todavía no me queda claro porque los aliens querian volar un puente que practicamente ya estaba sin uso. A veces parece que hacen cosas sin sentido y después te los encontrás secuestrando vips?
Hice un par de disparos que fueron a parar a cualquier lado, no se si fue por el aire del rio o que pero parecía que no podíamos pegarle a nada!
Tengo que recordar hacer un par de tiros de practica durante la noche, para mejorar un poco la puntería.
Ah si. Dato de color para recordar: Se llama Lola.
Ahora que sor Major ya está empezando a darme más bola ;)

Crizzas Log, 26 June
Tremble aliens and despair, I'm out of this damned medbay...
A mission to Munich, bomb defusal... well, given my luck I expected to end up in medbay with missing limbs and that sort of stuff, but guess what, not even a scratch and I killed two more.
The Commander refused my request to dally in Munich and get some beer with Weißwurst...Patriot is not suited for these kind of activities I guess.
Anyway, first two round are on me tonight.

Mission report twenty four. EXALT forces are becoming a tad bit more formidable, but nothing our troops can't handle. Another clean operation
Commander's Log:
News of EXALT's field operatives sporting laser technology along with what appears to be Carapace armour is troubling at best. It's too early to be able to say accurately, but the possibility of a mole within the HLPX-COM project isn't to be disregarded. They've stifled the reports that get exchanged between Alpha site and Beta, but I'd hazard a guess that the Commander there thought similarly. I'll have to organize a check on all base personnel as per protocol, but I doubt it'll turn up anything. In the meantime, I've instructed the Labs that paper reports are preferable since it takes a far greater deal of effort to steal secrets when you have to physically touch the information. As for everything that's already in the system, I've ordered that the data be fragmented while also being transferred to physical copies. Taking precautions is the best idea right now
We're narrowing down on them and they know it though. It's only a matter of time

Mission twenty five report. Escorting Dr. Marazuki was an easy enough task though Swash dropped the ball for a bit on protection detail. Thin men are numerous, but are no match for our weapons
Commander's Log:
Hopefully the knowledge within Doctor Marazuki's brain will help us turn the tides on this battle. We're making good progress, but getting cocky now isn't a good idea. If we keep it together, we'll make it through this without any hitches so becoming brash in our tactics will do us no good. I've been seeing it a lot more in Patriot's lead though he seems to be taking it more upon himself rather than forcing his squad into those situations. The last few missions have been us against multiple tangos all at once, so we've got to work on that. Too many at any given time will most likely end up in a body bag being filled.
Titan armour should be good to go fortunately. I hope this won't perpetuate the invincible feeling our troops have been adopting as of late.

Rodo Ramirez log, Entry 4:
Today the commander told me I need to bring another alien alive from the field.
He wants one of those little ones, I call them grisesitos. If it's just one of those then I guess I'll be ok.
Hablando de otras cosas... me encantan estas armas nuevas de plasma, los hacen papilla a los aliens!
No veo a Lola hace varios días, creo que voy a tener que dejar que me disparen un poco para poder visitarla en la enfermería :D

Crizzas Log, 6th July
Today I was sent into the lab, it was finally time for gene mods.
Granted, I was a little bit anxious, since they were doing a lot of stuff. Y eyes, a secondary heart…wait, what? They said that given the fact, I was almost killed once, this should make it harder, but well, a headshot would still be the end, eh?
Something with my skin is done too, according to the doc, my skin should tingle if one of those floating snakes is around, lucky me, snake phobia, guess I’ll pass out from shock.
And something with my bone marrow…Don’t know what this will do.
Hope I survive this whole ordeal and then I’ll kick some ass.
They team will do without me I guess, but at least Rodo is around here pretty often, although he never seems wounded, so he can tell me what happens.

Mission report twenty six. The Abductor class UFO landed in South America. Beta site was sent in, but the operation didn't go as smoothly as we'd of hoped. Noted for next sortie
Commander's Log:
I was surprised to see Patriot in the Medical facility getting himself patched up. This was the first time in a long while since he was in there getting wounds dressed. Seriously, I was starting to think it was impossible for him to even be injured!
Still had a word with him. Seeing the footage of the engagement made me think back to what I said about cockiness getting us killed. If we don't take things slow, we'll end up swarmed and put in situations we can't handle.
Commander, interrogation of the red Muton is underway. Your presence has been requested

Rodo Ramirez log, Entry 5:
Rough mission we had today, muchos de los gigantes rojos dando vueltas por ahi.
Stunned a big rojo for the boss, he must be pleased. Hope we don't get to stun any more of those. It creeps me out having them close cause they stink a lot and it's hard to get that smell off. (yeah, Lola has a cunning sense of smell)
En un momento me metí en una habitación de la nave para ayudar al capitan hojala, estaba rodeado de rojos y necesitaba ayuda así que no había otra cosa que hacer...
Pero mierda! baje la escalera y había literalmente una tonelada de aliens ahí mirandome. Pense que no la contaba pero el hojalata se volvio loco y los quemo a todos con ese lanzallamas que tiene.
Este tipo es un piromaníaco, menos mal que está de nuestro lado :p
Ahora voy a ir a visitarlo a la enfermería.
si si.. voy a ver a Lola pero nadie tiene porque saber eso.

Patriot's Log, Entry 8
Goddamn Muton sons o *****es!
Took a full freaking barrage from a firing line worth of mindless dilweeds..
Commander said i shouldn't take so many risks, i told him a Particle Cannon and Alien Grenades might be a better idea to waste his breath on.
Still trying to locate my son, some of the boys and girls have expressed an interest in getting their families onto base. Might be time to pick up a few of the family members after our next mission.

Mission report twenty seven. Another abduction, another success. Nothing new here
Commander's Log:
Our team is shaping up quite nicely, though not seeing Patriot on the field is a bit jarring to say the least.
It'll be a while yet, but from the looks of it we'll be ready to tackle the stronghold soon enough. I'll have to wait though. I want the main team there

Crizzas Log, Unspecifc entry:
As I wait to be released from medbay, I keeping myself up to date by reading mission reports and well, I'm asking myelf:
Where does exalt have all the technology from? The file about their weaponry, laser tech and the look of it. While not being plasma weaponry like we are currently using, their laser weaponry looks somehow more sphisticated, while having the same damage potential, odd...
Also, I have company, Mister Metallbox himself joined me some time ago, but he isn't the most talkactiv guy. Though he said something of retrieving ones family...good luck with that, I have four aunts, three uncles, around 20 cousins, a brother in law, a niece and a nephew, not to mention my sister...they cannot mean to get them all in here?
My skin itches like hell, but the doc keeps telling me not to scratch myself.. I hope it's just itching and not that strange tingling which I'm supposed to feel when some cloaky bastard is around...
-
Commander, we need more fragments from the field in order to complete that research that you so desire
Easy enough request. I'll notify the team to focus more on killing the enemy than taking them alive

Mission report twenty eight. With the new MEC on the field, the aliens have even more to worry about. The proximity mine also demonstrated a solid performance and will see future use on missions where fragments aren't as important.
Commander's Log:
The deployment of the MEC-3 was a success of sorts. While Engineering is taking their time with the Particle Cannon, the proximity mines proved to be highly effective. Their range and explosive power is not to be trifled with and will certainly be useful against harder targets. A shame that it destroys the weapons beyond any salvageable point.
Lab is thankful for the fragments we've recovered and are starting research on incorporating alien UFO design into an interceptor of our own.
Abductions aren't slowing down any these days it seems. Council is starting to become antsy, but we're doing what we can. Hopefully we'll be able to get those satellites up and running soon, gotta go check on the condition of the Nexus...

EXALT continues to be an annoyance, but The_Force delivers. We've narrowed down the list a little bit more, but we can't go around accusing people just yet. We'll have to hold off on that until we're damned sure.
Swash better get himself healed up pretty damned fast too. We'll be assaulting the base soon enough

Patriot's Log, Entry 9
Upgrades, GLORIOUS UPGRADES!!
Mine Launcher and more armor for the MEC, which is called Paladin by the tech guys. I like that name, sounds like i'm a fighter for the holy good that is humanity.
Spent a few days in med bay before i got word of that new MEC Suit however, Commander almost tore me a new one when he found out i was actually injured. Said i was taking too many risks and that people are starting to feel invincible because of it. I mentally told him to go eff himself but refrained from actually saying it aloud.
Crizza was VERY surprised to see me in medbay, and even more surprised when i confided in her my plan for getting our families on base. She said she had way too many relatives for me to find and pick up. I told her that many are likely dead and i can do many things when i put my mind to it. She was still baffled i was willing to take on this self-imposed task of making sure the aliens and especially EXALT aren't going after our relatives just to spite us. And even if they could get to our relatives, they'd be making the worst mistake in their pathetic extraterrestrial lives, cause they'll be snuffed out with the GREAT FIENDISH FIRE OF ****ING FURY!!!
In any case, had a chance to test out the mines. They're so beautiful i almost cried when the first mine went off in a couple of Sectoids faces, even the Mechtoid a few feet further away didn't get away unscathed. SUCH GLORY, my wife'll be pleased i am taking vengeance on these slimy bastards..
Found out my son was helping people out in Russia, so first mission we do over there, i am sneaking out and getting him onto base. He's 17 now and can easily join up with X-COM to help more people than anyone realizes.
For now, time for a drink with Crizza i think. She seems to be getting a bit more distant recently, which is a shame.

Mission report thirty. The assault on the base was a resounding success despite the injuries incurred by the team. While resistance was thick, we managed to capture their leader as well as deliver a punishing blow to their efforts here
Note: Video feed is sketchy at best
Actually was due to my internet, but adds for an extra flair or something

Commander's Log:
The lab suspects that we are far from being done here. While the win was a resounding one at that, I have an inclination to agree. There's still a lot of questions that remain unanswered and still an alien threat out there that needs to be dealt with. However, that doesn't stop me from breaking open the bottle I've been saving for such a time. I will enjoy the glass with the heads of the departments as we discuss our next direction.
The labs figure we ought to get started on the new alien device. That much is obvious.
Engineering on the other hand is very eager to start the deployment of the Firestorm class interceptor. Currently though, we don't have the funds for that, but a Council report is expected in a few days so there's that
He also mentioned that we should expect the aliens to become a lot more aggressive in their approach. Losing the base was most likely, not part of their invasion plans so I'm currently trying to prepare for whatever that may be.
Patriot found himself in Medbay again. I felt inclined to go down there to chew him out for poor field management, but they got the job done... I just hope that it won't end up with anyone on a slab and their name on the wall.
There's just too much at stake right now

Rodo's log, entry 6:
Mission to alien base, hot engagement.
Tin man was a bullet magnet on this sortie and came back to base to spend a few days at the infirmary again. It seems that difficulty of our missions is escalating and the fact that he keeps getting injured is a clear indication of such a situation.
I'm thinking.... he might also be putting himself in the line to absorb damage we'd get inflicted otherwise?.
Maybe he's trying to keep us alive by chocking on those shots, glad he's doing it but how much will he be able to hold that role?
I think maybe I'll keep close to him, maybe buy some time for him to get him out of intense situations. Better have the pyromaniac guy alive.
Y sobre otras cosas, hoy vimos uno de los grisesitos, pero este era más cabezón y al parecer tienen como un poder mental o algo así.
No se los locos de la sección de investigaciones están todos muy interesados en ese bicho, dicen que puede controlarte mentalmente o hacerte llorar como un bebe con solo pensarlo!
Francamente con esas descripciones preferiría encontrarme un batallón entero de Rojos en un pasillo a uno de esos.
Espero que puedan decirnos como defendernos de esos cabezones a tiempo, no quisiera que me controlaran mentalmente ni nada por el estilo. :shaking:

We've taken a look at the communications device the team recovered from the base
And?
Well... we might be able to build a relay ourselves and use it to our benefit
I'll get Engineering on it as soon as we can. Good work

Mission report thirty one. EXALT has been pestering us since we've first encountered them, but their days are indeed numbered. With another successful intelligence gathering, we've further narrowed our options for accusation
Commander's Log:
Nearly lost one of our own today. She's still alive, but clearly shaken up by the fact she had nearly been killed. It hasn't really happened to any of our soldiers as of late, but I think it brought back some flashbacks of BLARGHER. She'll recover rather quickly surprisingly enough. Guess our medical facilities have improved significantly these days
EXALT isn't far from our scopes thanks to our continued success against them. I'll be a happy man once we've flushed the rats from their hiding place. Still so many unanswered questions, but it won't matter soon.

Crizzas Log, 5th August
Been a little bit busy after the last two missions.
Patriot cae to me again to talk about bringing our familys into the base. Well, after a Skyrangers fuel amount of alcohol I agreed to help him, but in return I can call him Tin Can...
The last two missions went well, we smoked Exalt at a train depot while uncovering some data, but Swash was nearly brought low by enemy fire.
The assault on the alien base went well enough for me, but the Tin Can seems to be hell bent to be a plsma sponge, honestly, he's soaking up more damage then any one of us while Swash went with him to medbay again, at least no grave wounds.
I know I'll regret it, but since recieving the gene mods I feel better than ever.
Last Mission was to Japan, Exalt uncovered The_Force... and he neraly stayed down this time.
Apart from that, I got a cloaking armor and an alloy cannon.
Damn, I was sceptic about that gun, but it packs helluva punch. 12 missions, 29 kills.
Feels good to kill these assholes!

Scourge's log:
Hey, log, ol' mate, how ya been? Sorry I haven't posted in a while, it's been mental up in here. The team got on a really nice rhythm with knocking these missions clean out. I guess I got caught up in the excitement and forgot about recording stuff.
Anyway, where were we? Oh yeah, we attacked an alien base, and slaughtered every little green, red, silver-y bugger in there. You wouldn't believe the things that they were doing to the captured people in there, I don't believe it, and I saw it with my own eyes.
And that little red jerk at the command center(?) was an odd one. When he looked at me, I felt his eyes stabbing into mine. No seriously, like literally, I FELT him. I didn't like it. But we got him, and didn't lose a single troop. Swash and Patriot got beat up a bit, but they're tough old dogs.
Egghead types said later that the red-toid was trying a "psionic attack" or something. I guess he was actually poking me in the brain. HA! It's true what they say, I guess, "And when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you." Little guy just couldn't handle it, I'm an abyss, I guess!
Ohhhhh, and then... and then! I got kitted up in new armor, they call it "Archangel." I like it, a LOT. And it's a fitting name, for now I am also the angel of death, the time of purification is at hand! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxcwkJbC558)
Gotta see about overcharging the suit's external loudspeakers, I have some choice words for the aliens. Also laughter :lol:

Those kill stats. Guess it helps I really only have one team to send out
Mission report thirty two. The HVT was extracted with surgical precision despite the numbers on the part of the enemy. As expected, the area was overrun shortly after Big Sky left the AO
Commander's Log:
Yet another clean operation in the bag. Makes me feel good, but at the same time makes me uneasy. I've mentioned that before, but I can't shake it. Something isn't right and I don't know if they're merely toying with us, or we are actually giving it to them hard.
Scourge asked that he could etch "Angel of Death" into his armour. I told him go for it.
We could all use something like that
-
Scourge's Log:
Nothing much to report, just another council mission. This time we were sent to a bombed out highway to rescue some guy named - now get this - "Von Doom". I know, right!?
And it felt just fantastic to get in there and mess up some dirty aliens.
EDIT: I've been informed that it was, in fact, "Van Doorn". They should really pick a different font for those briefing handouts...
-
"Van Doorn" my hairy Russian ass. If shoe/nickname fits, wear it.
I'll bet this is the first time Dr Doom has been picked up by a guy in stormtrooper armor outside of the world of slash fiction.
-
Rodo's log, entry 7:
I love my new gun, it's powerful and noisy and makes that lovely alien soup I like so much.
I feel I can blast them all to hell. Gotta try it on a Rojo next time I get a chance.
Y hablando de otras cosas, Lola está preocupada por mi!. Me enteré de que pregunta si estoy bien a los que van a enfermería (no ir seguído está funcionando justo como lo esperaba).
Es hora de empezar con la fase dos del plan "Conquista Hospitalaria". Muahahaha!

Commander's Log:
It is as we predicted. Taking out the alien base has provoked the aliens into increasing their efforts against us. While it still remains unclear as to what their intentions are overall, we do know that they are in no hurry to pull out the big guns. Seems odd really, why wait for your enemy to strike at you hard before giving the same treatment back? They made the first attack crippling most of Earth's armies, but they still haven't dealt the final blow. It's obvious they have the capacity to do just that, but they choose only to reciprocate our efforts as opposed to the other way around. Perhaps they underestimate us? Or are they trying to see just what we are capable of and how far they'll have to go in order to keep us at bay. While odd, I don't mind personally.
Last thing I'd want to deal with is a body count because a berserker couldn't be taken down by our conventional rookie gear

For continued service and keeping our troops alive, I award this medal to Swash. May his aim improve with each mission

Anything on the scopes?
It's been clear for a while Commander... hold on, we're getting a report from India
Alien?

Engineering would like to report that the Hyperwave Relay has been built Commander... as well as the Psi labs
When we've got a window, we'll have to start seeing if what the Lab says is true. Having a soldier with the mental abilities of our enemy would prove invaluable

Mission report thirty four. North America seems to be a hotspot for UFOs flying around Earth, to what end we do not know. Mission was once again smoothly executed
Commander's Log:
Things around HQ are definitely coming together into a very well oiled machine. Missions keep getting churned out flawlessly and the aliens keep losing more and more ground... or at least it feels like they are
I can finally take a rest knowing everything is covered. Well deserved sleep is in order

I'm probably just going to leave things at that and call it good
