So, I think I officially became luckiest still surviving trooper. Two kills on my first mission, first trooper to take down a Chryssalid, and surviving friendly fire from the HLPX-COM resident badass The_E.
When the new Interceptor arrives, my reported last words to my squaddies were "**** this ****" (or if I die. Same last words either way).
It's already here, so you don't have to deal with another ground mission. Interceptor 3 is currently arming and fueling in the Hanger at Dekker's Pad. -Joshua- has magically taken your place.
Speaking of which, the all-time soldier list as updated for recent actions. (We let Flipside out of the lab so he could take over manning the tank at Dekker's Pad in case of emergency.)
