UPDATE 39:

IBsrB.jpg


KickAss' tank locates the UFO just next to the Skyranger.

rXDTL.jpg


After some scouting the tank's camera feed finally reveals the species manning the craft - Sectoids.

40T8e.jpg


PrzeSzkoda kills the creature.

1SKvW.jpg


Another gray alien is spotted.

RExuG.jpg


This one is shot by Azira, but no death cry is heard.

QR7mr.jpg


PrzeSzkoda storms the UFO, discovering multiple dead Sectoids and a live one.

M6Obw.jpg


He quickly kills it.

psfmK.jpg


Ending the mission.

9ecMV.jpg


KwaCOM's radar array detects a small UFO.

4WMyY.jpg


Unfortunately it disappears over South America, never to be seen again. Just like the Fuhrer.

vVPr9.jpg

pAD04.jpg


Another one is detected over the Arabyan Peninsula and Drog is sent to intercept it.

P5rrG.jpg

FDJgl.jpg


He promptly brings the alien craft down.

qk9v0.jpg


Tentacle Team arrives at the crash site.

o3peo.jpg


It was just another Floater mission.

rmXSD.jpg


Medic joins KwaCOM.

ABt7K.jpg


A medium UFO is detected over Asia.

Cdlb3.jpg


As it is heading towards Europe, Drog is sent to intercept it.

SemKC.jpg


The craft is of an unknown type.

WFUKz.jpg


It is brought down over Siberia.

O6AGO.jpg


Just as Kwa Team's Skyranger was approaching the crash site, Potato Base's radars detected another alien craft. Since Drog's Interceptor was still rearming, the one stationed in the South African base was sent to engage the UFO.

QTJsl.jpg


Meanwhile, the North American team began the crash site recovery.

seUFO.jpg


Sectoids. Again. Well, better them than Floaters!

540fh.jpg


And here's another one.

lD7aY.jpg


Malakalov rains explosive death on the first creature.

GaCc4.jpg


And Fat Boobs does the same to the other one.

nfOD0.jpg


Here's the UFO. It looks intact at first glance.

ZwakO.jpg


The insidious influence of an alien mind causes Fat Boobs to panic!

72Ea1.jpg


Just as two Sectoids open fire at KickAss' tank, Fat Boobs panics again.

hKwHL.jpg


One of the would-be tank destroyers is spotted.

1ZQ44.jpg


Dextermorgan kills it.

wddsZ.jpg


And this is likely the other culprit.

2FNUb.jpg


This one is shot by U-Cat.

6MotO.jpg


Fat Boobs panics again, this time thankfully dropping his autocannon.

Y6nhq.jpg


KickAss spots...

SEgwN.jpg


...and disposes of a Sectoid.

VuzP5.jpg


It also turns out that the UFO was not as intact as it appeared at first.

XjinG.jpg


U-Cat was shot at from this corn field! Comrade Malakalov help, da?

feji0.jpg


No death cry is heard, but the smoke should help cover U-Cat for a time.

fIgf2.jpg


Under its cover, our brave soldier finds the guilty Sectoid.

5VGpO.jpg


Malakalov makes use of the autocannon to execute it... and he kills another one to boot!

lXmZq.jpg


Azira faces multiple hostiles inside the UFO!

prmr0.jpg


But PrzeSzkoda cleverly flanks the grays, killing one.

VFaZs.jpg


Azira kills the remaining two with a single burst of laser fire!

C5b3e.jpg


As he was preparing to scout inside a building, KickAss loses the camera feed from his tank!

Gt6Ux.jpg


Dextermorgan finds...

Uz7fy.jpg


...and kills the Sectoid responsible.

Y24ET.jpg


This Sectoid tried shooting Medic!

VkOW7.jpg


The trooper pays it back.

Ifchd.jpg


Slips reaches what must be the UFO's bridge and comes face to face with a Sectoid.

Xj1t8.jpg


He disposes of the creature.

ZLSUA.jpg


Medic locates the presumably last Sectoid. Apparently one of those felled by Malakalov was feigning death.

xik5A.jpg


The creature is disposed of.

GL2xe.jpg


And the mission ends.

F2f8m.jpg


The African Interceptor engages the UFO over Spain.

gLsbe.jpg

CU4sb.jpg


The alien craft is downed and will be recovered by Tentacle Team.

x6k1s.jpg


They arrive at the crash site shortly.

It's only because I'm not showing you Floater missions anymore. The Ethereals, I think, are chilling out on Mars with the Controlling Brain. I too wonder what triggers their arrival.

I always found it somewhat funny that the medium harvesters can house less ufos than small large scouts.

Here, obviously
:yeah:

Sectoids and Mind-control.

It seems like only yesterday that you were trudging through endless waves of floaters. Now the horrific slaughter of the Ethereals is just a another alien cycle away.

Sorry for the short update guise, but I had Stuff To Do and couldn't finish recovering the medium UFOs. Expect a better one tommorow.

You may also consider it your punishment for failing to bump the thread into the next page

UPDATE 40:

FNta9.jpg


Predictably, Tentacle Team ran into Floaters.

tN8vI.jpg

TNGqr.jpg


A small UFO is detected over Africa. The local Interceptor is sent against it.

PoCnQ.jpg

Rj7rK.jpg


The alien craft is brought down quickly, and Team KWa is sent to recover it. I have decided against posting full reports of recovering small UFOs no matter what species I ran into, unless Important Stuff happens. Should make the LP smoother.

Q252a.jpg


This time we faced Snakemen.

PPDj6.jpg


We detect a Large UFO dirtside, near one of the Alien bases.

tSfkc.jpg


Unfortunately it dusts off before the away team can reach the landing site.

4Wlnj.jpg


This one is found off the northeastern coast of New Guinaea.

6ludx.jpg


TentacleCOM's away team is sent there, as is Drakron to keep the damn thing from taking off.

sd8Pe.jpg


Unfazed by our Interceptor's presence, the aliens do take off.

Q6k0s.jpg


Drakron brings them down into the Pacific.

Bg8ch.jpg


Another dirtside UFO, this time in the middle of fucking Africa.

yVBzf.jpg


I doubt either away team will reach it in time, so we intentionally wait for it to lift off before sending the African Interceptor after it.

txYnW.jpg


Before the alien craft can take off, another one is detected.

agzOB.jpg


Drog is sent after it.

5JT2a.jpg


The very moment the dirtside UFO started moving, the South African Interceptor was launched after it.

YM7df.jpg

TL6D6.jpg

Phd3V.jpg


We bring it down over Tanzania's coast.

nXA19.jpg

OAPJp.jpg


And Drog downs his prey over Botswana.

pTkGf.jpg


This time Tentacle Team faced Sectoids who managed to take out RK47's tank. No harm done though, since we have reserves!

EuWBW.jpg


And Team Kwa faced Snakemen at the other crash site. Again. The vile creatures managed to wound Azira.

UQoFr.jpg


This medium UFO was detected over India.

tFckw.jpg

b8qgD.jpg


After a prolonged chase, Drakron brings it down over Siberia.

gHrlk.jpg


Mere moments later another medium alien craft is detected over the taiga.

Xyab8.jpg


It lands before Drog can reach it, and we immediately dispatch Tentacle Team towards the landing site.


No roster changes... yet :yeah:

[bump, you whiny storyfag you. I'll make this one interactive to annoy you a bit more]

You know what would make this LP even awesome-er? Alien base assault rapefest. Any idea when that might be happening? :M

UPDATE 41:

w2FQN.jpg


Fortunately they manage to reach it before the aliens can dust off.

wo0ge.jpg


Despite even the polar twilight, the alien craft glistens among the endless fields of snow.

gBtOH.jpg


Eklektyk spots a hostile. Sectoids in a medium UFO can mean only one thing - a psionic Leader!

2vKFI.jpg


MMXI kills the creature.

QAx6I.jpg


An alien grenade-analog takes out Hellraiser! RIP Hellraiser :salute:

VvnWT.jpg


kazgar berserks at the sight and starts shooting blindly around him.

ToMc6.jpg


TNO quickly discovers the likely culprit.

Df2dT.jpg


His autocannon brings swift retribution to the gray creature.

Oi0Tw.jpg

4onjG.jpg


RK47 then sees two other hostiles on his camera feed.

ehBQd.jpg


TNO kills one of them.

BdO5s.jpg


While trying to aim at the remaining one, eklektyk discovers one more!

qXwTk.jpg


He disposes of the newly discovered threat.

sw1dt.jpg


And MMXI takes out the last one.

5msFz.jpg


kazgar sees an alien lurking in the shadow and panics!

GZyJm.jpg


But Hartman is there to kill the big scawy Sectwoid :smug:

wKXvd.jpg


kazgar goes berserk once more. Maybe something more sinister than simple battlefield fatigue is afoot?

vxCDV.jpg


Comrade Commissar decides to disarm kazgar. Just to be sure.

rp0dp.jpg


eklektyk spearheads the team storming the UFO and faces no less than four Sectoids! Looking over his shoulder, MMXI manages to drop two of them.

eNobQ.jpg


And eklektyk dispatches the other two.

NUEjQ.jpg


Deeper within the UFO Sergiu67 finds...

gIFSU.jpg


...and kills another Sectoid.

8WsaO.jpg


Meanwhile Donaroriak faces another hostile.

v3gnS.jpg


The grey creature doesn't stand a chance.

CENgg.jpg


Now the Sectoid Leader tries its malicious tricks on MMXI!

nkUfh.jpg


A Sectoid rushes out of the craft's bridge...

Mu4rV.jpg


...only to be mowed down by Darthowicz's laser fire!

56cWI.jpg


The intrepid captain then spots another creature.

q8zgM.jpg


He kills this one too.

sMKTu.jpg


Ending the mission.

iy8Qe.jpg


PrzeSzkoda is promoted to replace Hellraiser.

6qwnI.jpg


Hellraiser VII joins AsiaCOM :salute:

vME1G.jpg

TMfZq.jpg


Just as Team Kwa's Skyranger was approaching the other medium UFO's crash site, one more medium alien craft was detected over Asia.

ZmKYl.jpg

yjApd.jpg


It disappeared from our radars for some time, but was then picked up again, dirtside.

yzncX.jpg


As Drakron's Interceptor was running low on fuel, Drog was sent to pi the UFO to the ground.

Tkacd.jpg


Apparently aware of the approaching Skyranger, the aliens decided to dust off anyway.

2DErp.jpg


The fuckers outrun our Interceptors :rage:

XG3EF.jpg


And disappear from our radars.

pJZwW.jpg


So it's back to Team Kwa's original mission - recovering the crashed UFO.

01Aer.jpg


KickAss immediately spots a Sectoid on his tank's camera feed.

tvEgL.jpg


No more Sectoid.

OFRFD.jpg


KickAss also locates the UFO.

XcQeh.jpg


Fat Boobs spots...

Ch6jA.jpg


...and shoots a Sectoid lurking near the Skyranger.

vwfTF.jpg


This alien tried to shoot Slips.

tnSQ7.jpg


Slips repays in kind.

gbPWR.jpg


KickAss locates another hostile.

fNLfc.jpg


Malakalov feeds it some high explosive autocannon rounds, killing another alien in the process.

bMbYk.jpg


KickAss doesn't appreciate aliens trying to wreck his tank.

rKeTR.jpg


Oh no he doesn't.

M2Ktv.jpg


So the UFO *was* damaged in the crash.

KNF8k.jpg


Slips reports hearing strange whispers in his mind.

34t4J.jpg


The alien nearest Azira damaged the tank considerably.

zshgn.jpg


Bad Sectoids! Down! Both of you!

Xy9C5.jpg


PrzeSzkoda faces a horde of aliens.

B7x2t.jpg


But JoKa flanks them and takes two of them out.

9UGlx.jpg


PrzeSzkoda kills the third one, leaving the fourth one to Medic.

Qmcdp.jpg


PrzeSzkoda spots...

Orukc.jpg


...and executes another hostile.

fKGGa.jpg


Medic faces an unarmed alien at the UFO's upper floor.

PM8qN.jpg


The creature is executed without mercy.

ejmvC.jpg


What the... what happened here? Why is the door destroyed?

WHxek.jpg


Hello there.

QZl32.jpg


And goodbye.

PAxBB.jpg


Predictably this was the last alien.

00Giu.jpg


I think we made the aliens angry...

zUAOr.jpg

KB3XJ.jpg


Fortunately the Battleship only scouts the immediate area of the old Potato Base and appears to be unable to locate the new one.

n6ewT.jpg

UABnb.jpg


Finally we unlock the secrets of Elerium-115!

y0VaA.jpg


The Floater Engineer we interrogated several updates ago told us enough about alien tech before succumbing to Azira's interrogation techniques that we can now research alien grenades and UFO Power Sources.

10lxU.jpg

Ab0yL.jpg


They managed to slip one of their Terror Ships past our radars!

vdud1.jpg


Team Kwa to the rescue!
