As expected. :love:

Azira reporting for more cannonfodder duty. He was reanimated in an unholy ritual, so he can be killed again. And again. As often as is necessary. And as long as he gets the honourable duty of storming subs. :smug: :salute:

Warcupine is ready to demonstrate swift justice. As per his training, he kneels, and triggers more reaction fire in the process. Zomg who was standing behind him takes the shot. He doesn't survive.
RIP Zomg :salute:.

:smug:

Alien turn, a door opens, an ominous throwing sound is heard.

Look, what is that below Black's feet ? That's a primed alien pulser, that's what it is. The first strike team is wiped out.
RIP Azira :salute:, Black :salute: and Overweight Manatee :salute:, your sacrifices won't be in vain.

Life was short but eventful. Let's hope our second life will also deliver.

Only 8 dead? I survived 1.5 missions? Great Success!

Only eight? Weak.

Stale, forgotten memes aside, send my stitched-together corpse back into the front. I think it might be better to set up death tallies near some Codexer's names....we haven't even gotten to see lobstermen, molecular control, or tentaculat rape yet.

Research on alien grenades is started immediately. They will be our main weapon until we get sonic weaponry and decent accuracy.

Now, for some more soldiers :

Back to the game. Despite the recent losses, we still have enough soldiers for a full Codex mission. Such enthusiasm!

ERN1tl.jpg


Triton spots a large sub near Antarctic. I send barracudas to pursue with order NOT to engage. We follow it for a while and lose track of it somewhere around the north pole.

o71Fql.jpg


A small sub is spotted by a barracuda. Both interceptors are sent in pursuit.

c5O6cl.jpg


Again, it escapes our dual Ajax interceptor. I think I'll switch to DUP torpedoes on this one too, so far it hasn't been able to down anything.

Pk6cUl.jpg


The other barracuda manages to finally damage a sub enough to bring it down, with two torpedoes.

ZOAGTl.jpg


The base is coming along nicely. Everything is built but the large array sonar. We need money for some scientists, so the Triton is sent to recover the sub at dawn.

gQEHll.jpg


And it makes it there before aliens have repaired their ship or scattered away.

94acWl.jpg


The mission is much like the other one, except some aliens have already been killed and the sub has lost some of its valuable equipment.

Dvlxzl.jpg


No aliens waiting for us right outside this time. Troops are deployed. Warcupine spots an aquatoid creeping up behind the sub.

Czkwkl.jpg


Spekkio shoots but misses. So does everyone else. Garfunkel arms a grenade and throws it down chzr's feet. chzr picks it up and lobs it above the sub towards the alien. End of turn brings alien death in a small explosion.

gjkYll.jpg


The alien sub is very close to ours, once again.

khq87l.jpg


Merk spots an alien and throws a grenade after Rabidredneck and Luscious Pear miss all their shots. It turns out alright, but we need to work on some accuracy.

HdZeBl.jpg


Roxorowski spots an alien on the other side of the sub. A grenade by Storyfag ends up right on his feet. It's enough to bring him down.

68WgPl.jpg


Rabidredneck has taken position on a hill to the west. Merk spots yet another alien and radios his position to the sniper. Rabidredneck's aimed shot doesn't miss for once, and the alien blows up.

V77B0l.jpg


Another alien spotted.

tP2Y3l.jpg


Warcupine does the honor after Rabidredneck misses yet again.

Z7BfJl.jpg


Stasgard is shot by something from the sub. I thought I had a mine down there, but apparently not, or it landed on the ceiling.
RIP Stasgard :salute:

y869gl.jpg


I do have a mine but it's too far away. Storyfag fixes his mistakes and throws another one.

FSk8wl.jpg


This time, all goes according to plan.

UoioXl.jpg


There is another alien roaming around the sub doors. He shoots at 20 Eyes, the first bullet misses. The other, doesn't.
RIP 20 Eyes :salute:

soNdkl.jpg


Roxorowski explores the last corner of the map and pays the price. I thought it was clear, but an alien was hiding in the coral.
RIP Roxorowski :salute:

r8DMWl.jpg


Rabidredneck takes swift revenge.

MC7Asl.jpg


DosBox or the game freaked out. Here you can see an abstract representation of a reaction fire from Merk. He kills the last alien and ends the mission.

MDRT3l.jpg


Victory is ours, at a relatively small cost. The Sub wasn't damaged at all despite the two DUP torpedoes it took. All the better for us.

YlGFPl.jpg


Well deserved promotions.

ixcS5l.jpg


We sell our loot and order more stuff.

j9vhul.jpg


Few days later, scientists pay off!

l8FBwl.jpg


We can now use the Sonic Pulser. Its damage is high and area of effect wide. It's more powerful than magna-pack explosives and lighter, so it can be thrown further away. Aliens usually carry a couple of those so we'll hardly need to manyfacture any. A mainstay in our arsenal for the rest of the game.

2GQnml.jpg


The Triton's new loadout. I still keep some motion sensor grenade for sub entrances and low powered grenades until our stocks of pulsers rise. With the recent sub missions and the addition to our weaponry, things are looking up. We might make it out alive after all.

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, ensign Roxorowski was not supposed to die this fast.

Regardless, his twin brother Darthowicz wishes to enlist with great vengeance.

Good thing I started building the second base so soon, right ?

In my previous game, I was also attacked in January. Repeatedly. The base succumbed on the third assault, and I had to wait until March for my backup base to be up to speed. By this time lobstermen and tasoths were the default sub and terror enemies. Fun.

We should be alright. I have ordered loads of proximity mines, and we have 20 soldiers to hunt down leftovers in the airlock and sub pens.

EDIT : alas, I can't rename troops while in tactical mode and I didn't think of doing it when replacements arrived. As such, there will be some random soldiers for the next mission instead of codexians eager for glory. Most are codexians though.
