UPDATE 43 - Abduction
At the end of the previous update, Atlantic team was descending into the depths of an alien colony.
We're in luck, aRyan started in view of the control center right from the start.
We could lob a pulser down there and be done with it, but we have another objective : capture a lobsterman commander alive.
aRyan blows up the railings to allow a swift descent in the heart of the control room.
A lobsterman comes investigate, and thankfully doesn't see our soldiers.
TripJack and Banelion started on the far end of the map. While making it back to the main elevator, TripJack is shot by a Thermal Shok Bomb.
aRyan and Shepard take the long way around and finally enter the command center. They immediately spots a lobsterman.
It's a Commander. Not very good at fighting, especially as it's unarmed.
But rather resistant to Thermal Tazers. We'll need one more turn to bag it.
Meanwhile, Banelion silently sneaks towards the elevators, avoiding contact with lobsterman as best he can.
Some corridors are too dangerous, so he has to take some detours.
Shepard finishes stunning a commander, and spots another lobsterman in the corner. It's another commander !
aRyan stuns it and grabs both live aliens. As he retreats to the elevators, Shepard shoots at the Synomium device and destroys it.
Both objectives are fulfilled. Now we just need to have aRyan make it back to the elevator and we can go home.
The trip back is uneventful, not even an alien contact. Banelion also managed to join our team.
One last look at the alien confirms their status. Both alive and good.
TripJack's unconscious body still lays on the colony floor, too far to be fetched without risking another soldier life and jeopardizing the mission.
It's a sad day for Atlantic team, but the commander is abandonned on the alien colony.
RIP TripJack
, hopefully your death will be swift when you wake up.
The mission is successful, on both the capture of a commander and the destruction of the colony.
Banelion jumps at the opportunity to grab a commander rank.
And we lost some flares and tazers, as usual.
Interrogations begin right away. Soon we will know all we need to end the aliens for good.
Meanwhile, subs are shot down as usual.
In preparation of difficult missions, a batch of twenty Magnetic Ion Armors is ordered.
Aliens try to retaliate.
But their sub is shot down.
The interrogation of the lobsterman commander reveals two very promising topics.
Atlantic-1 is started on the design of a massive new sub.
This time, aliens aren't kidding around.
Maybe investing in some better sonars for their dreadnoughts would be a good idea.
Aquatoids on an alien probe mission ? That means more medics !
The sub is shot down first, then Atlantic team is sent to recover it. Banelion and lightbane still need to practice their M.C. skills.
Meanwhile, aliens keep trying to find us.
But they don't.
Two soldiers arrive in Atlantic-1. Good soldiers, but they're no TripJack.
More subs looking for our bases.
Before it is shot down, Triton-1 finally makes it to the aquatoid crash site.
First alien spotted in unarmed. A medic already ?
Yes, a medic.
Banelion has made some good progress. It takes two attempts, but he assumes control of the alien.
While leading it back to the Triton, it spots one of its brethren.
The aliens aren't fooled and shoot down the suspicious medic before he can make it.
aRyan shoots one of the soldiers down.
And pulsers are thrown to deal with other soldiers revealed by the Displacer.
Proximity mines deal with on alien from the sub.
And Oscar stuns an alien medic.
eklektyk stuns another one, and the mission ends.
A flawless operation.
And some promotions.
