Victory, whatever the cost :rpgcodex:


During the alien turn, Undead Phoenix II is shot in the back by a Tasoth just as he escapes alien control.
Filthy aliens have on honour. M:


'The Paranoid Incarnation' is ready to join the ranks of fodder when required, spawned from Phoenix's DNA.

UPDATE 41 - Training

When we last left off, Pacific team had just successfully prevented the activation of an artefact site.

kBGPz.png


Scientists make another breakthrough.

x98Yg.png


This time, it's a new craft weapon, the P.W.T Cannon, derived from our much beloved Disruptor Pulse technology. It's awful though, with very expensive ammo and laughable amount of shots carried.

3LULR.png


But it does unlock research for the ultimate in defense module.

puUMk.png


And also allows use of the weapon on a Displacer platform.

Fu0tB.png


Aliens keep trying to reach our base.

N5TEz.png


It seems their efforts are concentrated on China-1's area.

LX90A.png


The scout is brought down without problems.

aPsvj.png


This is interesting, a ship with an aquatoid crew.

AEkzE.png


It is shot down without delay.

RS3ET.png

Hr89S.png

kNyxJ.png

4M9nk.png

IV92a.png


New soldiers arrive in Pacific base.

9J5hV.png


And more research finishes.

aG6rn.png


A Lobsterman technician revealed the details of an alien battleship.

uiKSP.png


Atlantic team is sent to the previous sub's crash site. The aquatoid should prove a good initial target for our fledgling M.C. controller, and capturing a medic could give us valuable info.

iTRCE.png


It doesn't take long to find the first target.

qazFW.png


Banelion concentrates and tries to gain control of the alien's implant. He fails and tries panic attacks instead, and so does lightbane.

P9Di3.png


A M.C. reading shows at least one attack succeed.

iRpM1.png


TripJack stuns the medic for further interrogation.

cD85g.png


Black explores around the Triton and finds another unarmed alien.

53M5y.png


It's a second medic.Panic attacks are still rather ineffective.

O8Wwe.png


The Displacer spots a target hiding in old shipwrecks.

IqYV7.png


Black IV shoots the soldier down.

OXBHr.png


And TripJack stuns the second medic.

iB5Dy.png


Our tank is shot during the following alien turn.

W2xgE.png


It doesn't suffer any damage, and Black IV kills the alien, ending the mission.

Kf9XS.png


The results are not surprising, but the missions showed that our controllers still need some training.

2ZEHj.png


A promotion is awarded to Pope Amole.

D73Qg.png


A very interesting sub appears soon after. Tasoths on an alien colony expansion mission. Does that mean a colony is nearby ?

qVy7C.png


That's very likely, as a supply ship appears right after we let the small sub complete its mission.

GoDXj.png


A Manta is sent to down the supply ship. Alas, patrols in the area don't reveal any colony.

ZvY8X.png


Aliens resume their attempts at finding X-Com bases.

I9pgC.png


That's not about to happen anytime soon.

mj8br.png


The alien sub assigned to colony expansion keeps moving around under our scrupulous watch.

Qnz4y.png


If aliens are one thing, it's persistent.

qwlIZ.png


But we don't mind.

XOU7p.png


Finally the Tasoth crew touches down. Let's hope they're building a colony.

aBhFi.png


Interrogation of the previous medic reveals details on a Bio Drone.

uJqJj.png


And Gauss Defenses are designed. Scientists are really getting starved of projects.

Pm1tk.png


More attempts to find us.

zw1a9.png


More aliens corpses at the bottom of the ocean.

yZnaq.png


Aliens send the big guns on Alien Infiltration. We can't stop it without risking the loss of precious interceptors, and besides, a country defecting would mean an alien base.

I5feb.png


They actually sent two dreadnoughts on infiltration missions. They really want to gain control of some land.

9lvk1.png


Meanwhile we continue stopping the aliens' desperate attempts at finding our bases.

1wCVC.png


This one won't return home either.

V0u3I.png


It don't think this one will.

osHm2.png


Nope, it is shot down.

sVg8w.png


Yet another one. Will it be the one to finally report our base's location ?

I find it ironic that what probably is the most useless incarnation of the Pope have achieved the greatest success of them all. Sure, he did survived in that colony slaughter, but during that and before that he did precisely what? I guess it's the hand of Vatican that promotes him, they're tired of their Popes dying easily so they used a wee bit of corruption to secure an armor for him, thus prolonging his life. Kind of. Here's to hoping that he has a MC strength of 95+...

UPDATE 42 - Breaking and entering

When the last update finished, there was still a small sub looking for our base.

8xzAG.png


It doesn't stay operational for long.

k699F.png


A survey ship on alien resource raid ?

GsUP0.png


No resources for you, aliens.

MxLCg.png


And the 100th detected is, what a surprise, looking for our bases.

yDeDW.png


The second medic reveals details about Tasoth anatomy.

oAHbq.png


And Particle Disturbance Sensors are designed.

ivX36.png


Aliens are not giving up easily. The sub is shot down.

j7sN2.png


Hmmm, another colony expansion. Did they finally build their base ?

AYM35.png


Yes, yes they did.

dNXvM.png


Let's raid it.

pyE3b.png


Triton-1 is boarded by the strongest minds available, and arrives in the evening.

5ONfg.png


The first alien discovered is a Hallucinoid. Oscar shoots it.

BK7pz.png


And kills another one to the north.

7ua1y.png


RK47's Displacer spots another jellyfish to the west. It's floating above ground so pulsers are not an option.

tLiaT.png


TripJack blasts it apart with a Disruptor Torpedo instead.

VapKf.png


And eklektyk sends another torpedo in the crack for good measure.

z0jVA.png


It doesn't kill anything.

9Py2f.png


A heavily armed aquatoid is found near the Triton. Too close to test Geoffrey Chaucer theories.

Cev7f.png


At this distance, taking over the alien's M.C. implant is an easy task for Banelion.

xmBKv.png


He makes it shoot its gun at the colony main building.

168zU.png


TripJack sends another missile down the crack.

bzhg3.png


Meanwhile, Yeesh IV charges the controlled alien and kills it.

wmW3o.png


But not before Banelion made it throws its gun towards us.

aIUHF.png


It's hard to see, but a sonic pulser ended up on Yeesh IV's feet. Our soldier doesn't survive the explosion.

RIP Yeesh IV :salute:, you died an officer this time around.

aXy0W.png


More torpedoes are sent to clear the main building but so far no alien scream have been heard.

Ijdr6.png


Our tank finds Yeesh IV's killer easily, but we have to wonder why it didn't just send a torpedo instead of priming and sending a grenade.

EthUl.png


aRyan takes position and shoots it down.

RYV42.png


TripJack gets ready to create a shortcut to the elevator.

T0Vcx.png


The crack is small but sufficient for soldiers to pass.

gZiA9.png


The team has no idea where aliens are hiding, so more torpedoes are sent in the dark.

VpdZq.png


Apart from a couple aquatoid, no Tasoth or Tentaculat death scream yet, this is troubling.

pQLyE.png


TripJack is targeted by alien molecular control, and fails to defend !

tme45.png


It looks like even our mighty commander isn't safe from the superior alien minds.

GmjSI.png


There's Tasoth very close by, it's probably responsible.

Ybe47.png


eklektyk shoots it down before it controls a weaker soldier, like BayBee.

lUgSG.png


TripJack regains some senses and finds another Tasoth.

aSnve.png


aRyan hasn't moved, and is in the perfect spot to shoot it down.

oaVIC.png


The Displacer advances to the elevator and shoots at a Tasoth in the dark.

mFzlX.png


Finally, the aliens start panicking.

3uF1e.png


Our tank barely dodges a sonic blast from the north, probably coming from this little extension.

TZjOT.png


eklektyk's torpedo kills a few aliens.

cOhyR.png


An unarmed aquatoid is close by. lightbane tries to control it, but fails.

OVGMV.png


More Tasoths are getting closer to the blasted central area.

YmX6o.png


Banelion's panic attacks seem to have some success.

JtORb.png


The Tasoth is shot the following turn.

B5uDq.png


Twice, as it refuses to die from a single blast.

08u3e.png


BayBee is now the target of alien molecular control. First, they make our aquanaut panic.

OKjaq.png


Then follow up with a complete control.

AEtUf.png


Soldiers surround BayBee and get ready to descend in the heart of the colony.

I7nSh.png


Eventually, aliens fail to control BayBee and the team can now continue with the next part of the mission.

Are you kidding? That colony is not only built close to my real-life home (Damn Xenos, get off ma lawn!), but is propably also built on the ruins of Rapture.

THAT SUCKER HAS GOT TO GO.

I agree with Comrade U.Cat, we won't cure this disease by going after the symptoms. A direct lethal cure to the source will clear this plague in no time.

Onwards, brave Aqua-knights. The Earth is counting on you! Pierce the Depths of Hell!

If we destroy the alien mastermind before they attempt to activate them all, the sites will remain dormant for a couple more millennia.

The main reason behind the early colony raid is to capture a lobsterman commander, which will then unlock the final stages of research. We have more than one thousand units of Zrbite and Aqua Plastics from the medium sub recoveries we did the previous months, so we're not starved for resources.
