UPDATE 6 - Sacrifice
We begin researching alien morphology, to better know how to pierce it. Gill men are the first step.
Our base extends and sets up construction of new quarters and laboratories, for faster research.
Some technicians are also hired, since we should get the first results relatively soon.
The Triton spots a sub in the usual spot : near Antarctic. We lose track of it after following it for a while.
More soldiers come reinforce our current troops.
The second base is now online. Only a sonar station for now, much more later.
Another small sub in the usual location.
This time we go on the offensive, and manage to down the sub.
The second base starts expanding, we need to have a foothold closer to Antarctic, all the aliens seem to come from there.
And we send our mighty troopers to recover the crashed sub.
Alien takes a shot at Overweight Manatee II while he's waiting for action.
RIP Overweight Manatee
Hoverdog sends the aquatoid a rocket. Another kill for our champion sniper.
One more alien lurking in the shadows. This time the target ZomgII. As usual, the shot doesn't miss.
RIP Zomg II
Black II runs forward to spot the alien responsible, and once discovered, Hoverdog deals with him.
An aquatoid is seen waiting in ambush, but facing the wrong side. Rabidredneck tries a shot but misses.
eklektyk shows him how it's done.
Another alien ambusher, this time discovered by Yeesh II.
dextermorgan arms and throws a grenade at the aquatoid's feet. The resulting blast is strong enough to kill it.
An alien in the sub manages to ambush Yeesh II.
RIP Yeesh II
Edward R Murrow lets loose his Gas Cannon and shoots rocket after rocket in the sub. After many rounds, it finally finds its target, kills the last alien and ends the mission.
The sub is recovered, we killed quite a few aliens after all, and got a good amount of loot.
Aliens are getting active in the Indian Ocean. Since China is one of our biggest funding nation, a sonar station is started there.
Technicians arrive and are started on Gauss Pistol for now. These weapons will be sold as toys, since no one on earth will ever see any ammo for it.
Science progresses fast, and we get our first results.
Now that we know more about normal aliens, let's research the sturdiest we ever met.
More soldiers arrive, replacing those lost in the last battle.
We spot a very small sub in the eastern African coast.
A Barracuda is sent after it, and when it starts running out of fuel, engages. The sub doesn't survive a D.U.P torpedo. Too bad, but it was so small it couldn't have contained much.
Scientists make steady progress, and finish their analysis of Calcinites.
Now we are ready to get into the heart of the matter, and begin research on the Vibro Blade.
A sub is discovered very close to our base. Probably a scout for alien retaliation, it must not get away!
It doesn't. The Triton is there swiftly and we begin our assault.
First alien is discovered looking the wrong way.
Hoverdog is as ready as ever, and adds a notch to his gun.
dextermorgan spots an aquatoid far too close to his liking. He asks for grenade support and runs away.
Bee does a good throw, and lands a grenade right next to the alien.
While not a direct hit, the blast manages to bring the alien down.
Proximity mines were placed as soon as the sub was seen. Once again, they do their job well.
An alien is spotted creeping near the northern border. ironyuri deals with him, and earns his first kill.
Ashery shoot in a crack in the sub and kills an unseen alien. Good intuition there soldier, we'll have to get you a MC implant as soon as possible.
An aquatoid medic panics and begins screaming. It's somewhere in there, probably the last alien of the crew.
But both entrances are guarded by mines and the alien doesn't seem to want to get out...
-----------------------------------
I'll need a volunteer to brave the proximity mines, and probably die in the resulting blast. Soldiers currently on mission are :
Slaughter, Rabidredneck, RK47, dextermorgan, storyfag, Black II, Edward R Murrow II, Ashery, Bee, Oscar, eklektyk, Darthowicz, ironyuri, Hoverdog
