The aftermath of our previous missions is a absolute avalanche
of acquisitions
. First off, our engineers complete the finishing touches of our Apollo.
Private Hoverdog here can handle my shotgun any time
In addition we welcome Stechyo, Azira, Jester, Serratedbitz and Dead Guy to the team.
With all our hangars full, we start the process of transferring some air power to North America.
Our pilots get the call as a couple of UFOs appear in the atmosphere.
Cheburashka-1 scores a double kill after Apollo-1 harries the Scout craft down across Brazil. I'm thinking she'll deserve a name after getting re-armed
We didn't quite make the crash site before dusk, but we disembark without any dramas. A few rookies are going to get their first taste of combat.
With zero movement to the north, most of our squad engage two Sebillians in the open.
Dextermorgan takes down the first with a single aimed shot to the head before Ashery does the honours and covers Serratedbitz with smoke.
Ashery poaches a couple more eggs
We keep an over watch on the hedgerow as we take the field up north.
Dead Guy gets his first kill
The lizard in the garage above us tried to be an hero and go solo against our gun line. Blowing away its cover with frag grenades, we kill it no problem.
Our advance is relentless.
Oh hai guise!
Setting up a firing squad behind the hedgeline, when the Gargol was spotted by Azira we tore down our cover and unleashed hell.
I'd hoped for more than a single kill from our ambush, guess we'll be doing this the old fashioned way.
One reptile pops up out of the blue, but our Gregsy is in the perfect position to DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA
Fettel joins in on the action.
Sadly that sparks the end of things going all our way.
Azira and Hoverdog are both rendered out of action from the blast.
Vengeance is claimed and we move up to breach.
Things go sour when the doors open and Serratedbitz gets hammered by bursts of plasma, annihilating his shield and most of his chest
With Serratedbitz still bleeding out on the floor, we open the doors and finish the mission.
Back home for tea and medals
Sorry, I lied
Massive compound north of our landing site, more lizards to murder.
Fuck me sideways, this guard actually kills the bastard!
Ashery takes the walkway on the 2nd level, our other troops take the ground floor.
Well shit, Ashery gets dropped before we've even really started. The bodies on the ground achieving the square root of fuck all.
It's a bit fucking late lads
Gargol plus loads of cover equals us having a real bad day.
Good luck men.
A couple of grenades destroy the surrounding crates and walls, an explosive start to the party!
We throw everything we have at the Gargol and it's not enough. Someone is going to die.
...the fuck just happened?
Screams from behind as the mutant thing chows down on the guard, who served us like all men should serve us
Dead Guy, after rushing to stabilize Ashery, has the perfect position to fire down from relative safety and end the abomination.
Triumph is short lived, plasma raining down on Azira from outside the compound.
Cowards die in shame!
Azira, you survive this, and I'll personally wear you like a glove puppet
Well we managed to save his arse, but that Sebillian is behind such heavy cover we'll need a miracle to take him out without flanking.
Gregsy and Fettel proceed to damn the odds and kill it anyway. That was at least 3 hits of 4%.
Fire from the east is a painful reminder, especially for Dead Guy, that there's still Xenos dotted around the area.
Azira, you absolute rat. If this is the best humanity can offer we're fucked as a species
Lacking big guns, we're stuck in a weird situation where we can't punch a hole through the shell of this alien egg. Need Ashery's rifle, but I'm sure a hot potato will sort it out.
Oh for fucks sake
Pop smoke, leg it!
Dextermorgan falls from his injuries and with the help of smoke, Hoverdog dodges return fire to live another day.
I make the tough call to leave Dextermorgan bleeding out in the smoke and fire in order to save Hoverdog
Here comes the cavalry.
Now comes the boring part of cleansing the rest of the map and then purging the UFO.
Welp, we're gonna need more guns
Step 1: open up with a flashbang.
Step 2: shoot everything in sight.
Step 3: throw some smoke grenades so we don't all die when it's their turn
No words. No fucking words
Paxton Fettel suppresses bods left, right and centre, severely blunting both forces.
But eventually we grind them down.
Ok, seriously, tea and medals once we're off this Chinook
. Still, it was a fun read.
