Mindrape by sectoids? Definite 
My guess is we'll be seeing snakemen or muttons soon.

Wait, what, what the fuck? This is bullshit and you know it.

Sorry, but the bloody game did just that. Roxorowski and Darkbane disappeared from the soldier roster without notification of being MIA or KIA just because they were stunned at the end of the mission. I'm as surprised as you are, but can't do much (or actually: anything) to fix it.

I nearly died there, it's a wonder I could shoot at all with all those wounds. How long am I out of action ?
That's because you stunned them when they were under alien control. I'm no code expert, but it seems the ownership flag isn't reset on a stunned unit, so as long as those stunned soldiers stay on the floor they count as alien units, and are therefore not recovered at the end of the mission.
You can fix it during the mission by bringing them back up before ending the mission, preferably once the source of M.C. has been dealt with. Or you can wait for alien control to fail and stun them while they're panicked/berserk.

Unfortunately I've already overwritten the mission's savegame

I had some "oh crap" moments, on that harvester mission and getting out of it alive was a big surprise 
at least it's a comfy hospital bed for a while.

Hospital time:
eklektyk: 2 days (wounded in the previous mission)
ironyuri: 8 days
Korenzel: 18 days
Desmodus III: 39 days!
Roxorowski, Darkbane, I can only urge you to sign up again and promise personal armour to sweeten the deal. Everybody who's on the RIP list but not on any base's list should sign up if you guise don't want mindless TROOPER drones to do missions for PotatoCOM. The situation's bad enough with the Commander in Kwa!

Well, I obviously volunteer again.

Why am I not getting promotions? This seems like some kind of conspiracy in the ranks to keep me a non-commissioned officer.
Fucking aristocratic assholes.

We don't have a "Colonel" Ripper. Since Commander Roxorowski went MIA, we have *Commander* Ripper 
But he's still in KwaCOM
But he's still in KwaCOM
UPDATE 16
MMXI Jr leads the Kwa team.
KickAss' tank was fired at!
Here's the culprit.
And another Sectoid.
Malakalov disposes of the alien that shot at the tank.
And Thromclone dispatches the other one.
Jaedar panics after a Sectoid tried to shoot him.
U-Cat spots that Sectoid.
And Slips kills it.
Alien movement spotted!
The aliens kill Jaedar II. Rip Jaedar II
This, or the malevolent Sectoid Leader's influence, causes Sergiu64 to panic.
More than that, Kazgar fires blindly, attempting to get the Sectoid that killed Jaedar.
Thromclone dispatches a Sectoid.
As does U-Cat.
Kick Ass spots another hostile.
pounded_anus expertly snipes it.
Hostile movement spotted!
The Sectoid Leader causes Kazgar to panic!
KickAss deals with a Sectoid.
Now the Sectoid Leader makes Kazgar shoot blindly all around him. Thankfully the man missed all our troops amassing at the UFO's door!
KickAss dispatches a Sectoid lurking in the darkness.
An unnamed trooper comes face to face with two Sectoids inside the UFO. The alien craft is badly damaged.
Thromclone deals with one creature, but we can't do much about the other. Fortunately it is armed with what is speculated to be an alien stun weapon, so hopefully it won't kill the unnamed trooper!
Kazgar continues to fire upon the ground around him.
The Sectoid Leader panics Sergiu64 again! This time the sargeant drops his rifle.
Not only did the Sectoid not stun the unnamed trooper, but it managed to stun itself!
Another alien is lurking nearby, however.
It is promptly dealt with.
The Sectoid Leader decides to panic Thromclone this time.
Slips finds multiple hostiles and promptly retreats down the alien lift.
The aliens take control of Thromclone!
Thromclone kills Sergiu64! RIP Sergiu64
U-Cat crosses eyes with a mind-controlled Thromclone.
Command decides Thromclone is a threat to the mission. Eklektyk's spirit is whispering into U-Cat's ear.
RIP Thromclone
The aliens take control of the unnamed trooper.
Slips spots...
...and disposes of a Sectoid.
Slips' reaction fire kills a Sectoid.
The Sectoid Leader takes control both of U-Cat and the unnamed trooper!
Malakalov spots...
...and kills an unarmed alien.
Both U-Cat and the unnamed trooper come to their senses.
Another unarmed alien falls prey to Malakalov.
And the mission ends.
An unnamed trooper is promoted to Sargeant. Excellent, he will be sent to TentaclerapeCOM, freeing up golgepapaz for EuroCOM service!
The UFO detected right before the mission last is now intercepted and downed.
Two Rookies take up callsigns
This is Captain Spider's mission
Gondolin locates the UFO just next to the Skyranger.
Sargeant Hellraiser spots an alien. It's a new species!
Merk wounds it once.
As does Captain Spider.
An unnamed trooper also hit it, but the thing is still standing. Tough bastard!
It finally falls to Hellraiser's fire.
Alien movement detected! A grenade-analog is thrown at Gondolin's tank! Fortunately the sturdy machine survives.
Then the tank is shot at by this alien. But it's still operational!
Gondolin spots another green alien. Likely the grenadier.
Hellraiser and JoKa wound it and Merk wounds it twice but, just like the previous one, it's still standing.
Finally, an unnamed trooper brings it down. But it doesn't emit a death scream.
Half the team's concentrated fire fails to bring this fucker down!
Fortunately, it wrecks the tank instead of throwing a grenade at the team.
Finally! Toastboy brings it down. It took around 7 shots to do so! And we thought FLOATERS were a warrior species!
An unnamed trooper finds three more of these monsters inside the UFO. He manages to kill one and wound another.
Another unnamed trooper renders his teammate unconscious and then finishes off the wounded green alien.
Neither of the unnamed troopers survive within the UFO, but JoKa kills the last green monster inside.
As it turns out, it was the last green monster in the area.
Technically, we have an alien containment facility, but our eggheads spent the last two months trying to learn how a Mind Probe works and didn't have time for autopsies of new species, thus our containment is not suited to holding them.
This... might end badly.
I intend to break the usual pattern here and send the Potato Team to this UFO's landing site. The Kwa Team, whose turn to make a land mission it is now, would reach it after nightfall.
Therefore I urgently need recruits for PotatoCOM!

What has me really worried is the pace of our research. The science team can't seem to get an understanding of Mind Probes despite playing with them for ages now...

They say it is bad for complexion, you may turn green which is bad for dating in that time of year. I generally prefer Mutons in fall.Storyfag said:
(No, April has some 33% chance to generate Mutons. April is fine.)
Saying end of April, we may see some nice terror missions incoming. Fingers crossed...
