I specifically asked for a back shield when I signed up. It'll be fine they said, we've got your back they said. That's why I want that extra shield I said.

Drew on the other hand gets rewarded for his efforts. His new life as a reaper is just an extension of his old psychopath ways.

On a hilarious sidenote, even if a trooper's been infected by a reaper, turned into a zombie and then had a fully grown second reaper burst from his corpse, there is still a chance that he can get patched up after the mission ends.

Xenonaut's health care plan must be really, really good.

Reaping What They Sow

Part 3
Drew's lame leg sacrifice grants us easy kills on him, his baby and his lover.

Our Northern squad advances in parallel to the Colonels beneath.

The Sebillian with the big gun isn't given an opportunity to fire once - Nevill and Micoselva combine to kill it but expose their precious arses in the process.

MRSA confirms that there is no Reaper lurking behind the door.

Where Nevill treads, death follows. With this lizard dead, the base is assumed cleared.

Tzaero is ordered to breach.

RIP Tzaero :salute:

There was indeed a Sebillian Officer behind the door. Emphasis on was :smug:

MRSA baited out the reaction fire before our squad takes up position and guns down the alien.

Plasma fire destroys all barriers between the scaly and Micoselva, but none hit her sweet flesh.

MRSA goes along the South corner...

RIP MRSA :salute:

Fearlessly Nevill steps over our dead...

...And avenges her sis.

The final alien is flanked, suppressed, and rushed down by Eryfkrad.

Reaping What They Sow

Aftermath
ikply8s.png


The doctors at our facility are amazed as profreshinal awakes from his coma screaming and shouting about testudos and repeating "I fucking knew it!" over and over again.

Some have downright converted to Islam when the bloated husk that was once Drew shambled off the table and reported for duty claiming "My work is not done." When asked how he's still alive, the only thing he has said is "I got better." Command would prefer to subject him to more thorough testing, but doctrine states that him and profreshinal shall reside side-by-side in our single Medical Centre until they can resume their place upon Xenoforo next month.


Fucking base gave me half the gold of the Landingship raid.

Bigger Is Better

Update 18: 1980/2/12 - 1980/2/23
Our Scientists work interrogating the Alien Officer we captured has finally been completed after days of setbacks due to not knowing the correct pronouns to use to talk to the xenos. Work has started on deciphering the nature of the statement the subject repeated - "Check your priviledge, shitlords."
NQ7vElv.png


I take it back about what I said about Cruisers a few updates ago. These carriers are true beasts.
OYrhhja.jpg


The Marauder's combat performance is stellar.
FB5HVIP.png


We set down in Germany, some of our team wielding brand spanking new Plasma weaponry.
3yLqALa.jpg


Micoselva makes first contact with a Plasma Cannon wielding Sebillian. She decides to make a tactical withdrawal.
Z54HsxW.jpg


A Harridan makes the unfortunate decision to not take cover when it saw our Shrike approaching. Ulminati and his Precision Plasma make sure it'll never make the same mistake again :smug:
e6CFot6.jpg


There's at least two lizards in and around this barn. We've tug in behind cover to the South and are working our way West around the hedgerow.
NuSBTa0.jpg


A few? There was four before Comte murdered one. It's at this moment I really wish we'd brought a rocket along to destroy their sticky cover.
BhmnHVR.jpg


Fire from all angles and some shotgun finishing make short work of this group.
3xGEXFq.jpg


Rather than expose ourselves to that gun, we lob a Plasma Grenade over the hedge.
uB0mFqK.jpg


This... may have been a horrible mistake. The grenade destroys the hedge, giving Micoselva a clean reaction shot, but also giving the Alien a clear line of fire.
3Lai7PX.jpg


A hay bale comes to The Scorpion's rescue :salute:
qkIPWUn.jpg


A Plasma Satchel blows open the gates, but the hold of the Carrier is eerily quiet.
ToxJVr4.jpg


First contact is with a lone Harridan in what looks like the Anti-Grav core of the ship.
deRLen1.jpg


Comte kills it with a close burst and we advance onwards.
srANlV2.jpg


We try to create a perimeter around the teleporters, but the alien marksman spots and then hits Ashery through the doorway, gravely wounding him.
hQszS8K.jpg


A Sebillian Warrior bursts down to the ground floor and completely whiffs his shot :decline:
ClOnQ0O.jpg


An Officer and another Warrior come down after we've cleaned up and The Scorpion is caught in the centre of a Alien Grenade blast.
A5yqtRa.jpg


Reaction fire from our Heavy Gunner ensures this Sebillian will never enjoy basking in our sun again.
U9omjZL.jpg


In the open, the Officer stands no chance against our firepower and we advance, taking up defensive positions on the 3rd floor.
19idSRW.jpg


We keep moving forward until a non-combatant decides to try the classical "run between two hostiles so they shoot each other" tactic.
rz5sHaM.jpg

What the fuck, Mico!?

...I think she just made lasers travel in an arc. Physics is clearly her bitch.
7oXBYSA.jpg


The other Sebillian on this level is cleared, but now we're really struggling for ammunition.
siHHf9R.jpg


The lizards in that funky body armour prove to be tougher than old boots.
baumumf.jpg


In the end we're forced to cause some collateral in order to take them out safely.
4pdWaCQ.jpg


Sebillian.Medium was a mere setback :smug:
qOv8LlF.png


Everything continues as planned. We can't stop all the UFOs. but as another Marauder is completed our aerial fleet is able to take down anything. Nothing good lasts forever though...
te46edK.png


We have a downed Carrier in Greece that I badly want to raid, and the $70,000 I'd get from airstriking it is not good enough. Double mission is tempting :salute:


Teaser for next update. The big one is a night mission.

May have vast memory but isn't my alter ego used in that session? In case of reqiring troopers - you can count on me.

Your fate is on page 1 :M


The Squad

ERYFKRAD has been murdering xenos scum since our earliest days and is the Xenonaut with the highest number of confirmed kills. Equipped with a Plasma Carbine and Wolf Armour, she's well protected and no known alien can resist her firepower.
Wd9nBCL.jpg


Ashery has been overshadowed by our other Xenonauts but has still reached the rank of Colonel. He's held back by his strength, the heavy Precision Laser Rifle meaning he has the choice between armour or grenades and a medpack.
a7Nb4e9.png


Ulminati, with his Precision Plasma Rifle can one or two shot most aliens from across the map. 95% Accuracy at any distance across open ground is a very useful tool in our arsenal.
MIXhIvG.jpg


Storyfag will be a little miffed that Comte was awarded the first Plasma Rifle. Aside from a few blue on blue scares early in his career, he's become a dependable member of our firing-core.
WdnBXQX.png


Nevill is a bloody terminator, one those Andron wannabes have nightmares about in their cybernetic sleep. Some point at her poor reflexes and other claim it's completely the Mule Armour and that they would do a better job in her shoes but unlike her none of them have payed for the gear with sexual favours.
Bp2yEv3.jpg


Comte hasn't really stood out, but that's the price of being the Rifle-spine of the team. Her kill return on missions speaks for itself.
eldmRpJ.jpg


Micoselva graduated from shield duty and promises much as an Assault specialist. Twice the alien have dropped her; but she has been rebuilt, improved, they have given us the technology.
MFMi6WI.jpg


Kipeci is the baby of the squad and is biding his time until the senior members of the team are butchered Command sees his obvious talents.
pkmCLTX.png


Kashmir Slippers hasn't done much of note. He should have the opportunities to prove himself during the Cruiser-assault and Terror Mission.
PQP4Ulr.jpg


The Scorpion has been promoted to Rocketeer following Tzaero's untimely demise. Let's hope her fate is a little cleaner.
hxC2F4A.png


Spekkio takes up the Precision Laser Rifle and will accompany the team wearing nothing at all Basic Armour for easy accessibility the ability to carry some supplies.
yStq1NF.png


Lightbane has taken over from the injured Profreshinal and will be our vanguard. A Plasma Pistol will give him firepower, even if it is short ranged.

having eaten a few grenades as a Grenadier and somehow walked away from it, i'm totally confident that my term as a racketeer rocketeer will be ... explosive. :roll:

Holiday In Mongolia

Part 1
Our dropship pilot throws us right into the fire. We let off a smoke grenade in the Shrike to give us the chance to disembark.
ffToX2x.jpg


Our turn is taken up with manouvering. We only get off a few shots and do no real damage - now we bleed :salute:
Lr3Yonu.jpg


Kipeci expected hot alien plasma up the arse, but the Andron Officer :decline:d
Ea5UGhF.jpg


Sometimes Lady Luck is on your side, but I always find it helps to seduce her with the best positions :smug:
dk9hpUf.jpg


Plasma Cannon Harridans are priority number one. Storyfag hits, suppressing the xenos before The Scorpion whiffs completely.
I5TXFaI.jpg


The cover of the carpark provide way too many obstacles. Comte manages to drop the perfect grenade on the other Harridan...
SRXgod8.jpg


...Which earns her the ire of another who fires through the building, showering her in glass and pain.
laBSVy9.jpg


The Andron Soldier commits seppaku to try and take down our heroine and luckily it misses.
gO9tlG7.jpg


There's a Cannon toting Andron around the corner and the Harridan with another escaped to the North.
bgInYrC.jpg


Nevill guns down one Andron in the streets and ERYFKRAD finishes off the good work of the civvie cop.
A1sItpM.jpg


The keen-eyed alien tries to shoot through two windows to blow up Micoselva as she flanks, but the blast is detonated early as it impacts with a workbench.
Fdg1BaG.jpg


The xenos are quickly overwhelmed, shots raining in from all angles as we flank on three sides.
26Fv6In.jpg


Breaching commences with Plasma Charges.
7zkbDwy.jpg


Sniper fire takes down one of the Androns that appear to defend the Cruiser.
XC2Qu6G.jpg


Lightbane takes down the other as we advance through the wings of the UFO.
XJPQ2iQ.jpg


tvBE8cW.jpg

RIP Lightb-- oh wait, blue numbers are stun damage :M

PI7Q7hR.jpg

Being caught in the explosion and ensuing fire doesn't even make him flinch. His shield broken, he observes three Androns enter before...

Bravely running the hell away :troll:
KSwqrVj.jpg


Nevill blows up the other engine with some errant shooting.
ZdetPet.jpg


Storyfag joins in but is left stranded when his burst fire fails to take down his target.
CVFervH.jpg


Micoselva and Kipeci move up to secure the Southern teleporter - they won't let a bro die alone.
Pa9t2Jg.jpg


Micoselva takes an massive hit but refuses to duck - returning fire with her Laser Carbine as Plasma splashes against the wall behind her :salute:
jdHp6TH.jpg


Storyfag doesn't completely escape, but his Wolf Armour takes and dissipates the thermal energy.
oOMzS3O.jpg


But when it is our Xenonauts time to act...
BHIX9Xk.jpg

...Micoselva slumps to the ground, her shotgun falling from her lifeless fingers.

:rage:

RIP MicoSelva :salute:

Huh. I keep on getting into horribly dangerous situations and then making it out alright in these. Maybe someone should sever a foot and rub it on the new recruits or something.

Micoselva's sacrifice was not in vain - Storyfag claims his killers circuitboards with one Electroshock Grenade.
62mxgKR.jpg


Jumping up the teleporter ERYFKRAD quickly blasts down the Andron standing guard.
powFp8Q.png


Nevill sweeps in from the side and Ulminati executes the last Andron with a precise blast to the head.
IS3lM1q.jpg


E8QjG5p.png


This is the third time that MicoSelva has received grievous wounds when on mission. Command has lifted the classification of CCTV footage recorded from her life-saving surgery in order to show just how advanced our medical expertise has become using the alien technology we have studied :salute:




Luckily we were close enough to return to base without much time lost. Major Smashing Axe receives an unexpected call-up and the orders to dump her Machine Gun for a Laser Pistol and Assault Shield. The Plasma Caster she was to be equipped with is still a few components short of working.
