In 18 updates I've yet to register a single kill. This is an embarrassment! To make matters worse I'll be dead by the end of the next update.

Mistaking the panic for alien control, RK47 goes berserk and shoots the Sargeant! RIP Golgepapaz

Looks like we'll survive the weekend, guys. I suggest a three day long orgy on board SKYRANGER-2. We might as well go out with a bang.
:yeah:

Premature joy, I managed to write up an update after all!

UPDATE 19

iSlLE.jpg


These aliens appear to react appreciably to high explosives.

XiwWw.jpg


Or maybe not.

XuSUH.jpg


It took several direct hits with autocannon high explosive rounds to bring this one down.

VslEc.jpg


Hartman spots another new alien species it looks as if it was smiling...

U7Bev.jpg


The Pope brings it down.

QLGOl.jpg


Another of those chitin-clad aliens is spotted during the alien turn.

Nl8Nf.jpg


Hartman also spots one of the orange aliens.

lSOfz.jpg


Slips determines they are susceptible to lasers.

K3L4K.jpg


This alien tried to shoot our tank with this stunnig weapon of theirs. Good luck with that, dumbass.

tdw0G.jpg


Azira brings the chitinous alien down.

67nVJ.jpg


The Pope spots a hostile.

bQoNI.jpg


It falls to Ripper's rifle.

lQZLc.jpg

GnqwS.jpg


The orange aliens' mode of locomotion resembles that of a snail or snake. Curious.

LPhs1.jpg


MMXI Jr disposes of the Snake-man armed with the stun weapon.

ClVfp.jpg


U-Cat exchanges fire with this Snake-man. Both parties are hit, but neither falls. U-Cat isn't even wounded!

06jZd.jpg


Azira finishes it off.

h8sxr.jpg


Pounded_anus spots a Snake-man.

HYuaJ.jpg


And Ripper snipes it.

wRg1A.jpg


The Pope locates two more hostiles.

ZeAlB.jpg


Both are swiftly and mercilessly excommunicated.

TauYi.jpg


Pounded_anus spots one of the chitinous aliens running to and fro.

18Ug4.jpg


It rushes pounded_anus before he could shoot it!

GLXJk.jpg

Ukmxa.jpg


It bites him and his skin begins to swell and his feed goes silent! RIP pounded_anus :salute:

74iCV.jpg


As Azira shoots the... zombie... pounded_anus has become, another chitinous alien hatches from the corpse!

o3vjx.jpg


Fortunately Azira's laser rifle is enough to dispatch both it...

n5WlA.jpg


...and the one that sired it.

T3TB5.jpg


MMXI tries his luck with a chitinous alien, but it seems to be impervious to explosive rounds. At least he took out a Snakeman that was hiding behind it.

pLvX2.jpg


The Pope spots a hostile!

jL2et.jpg


As he disposes of it, another chitinous alien is revealed!

qEAqX.jpg


This hostile is chasing the Pope!

f2NFO.jpg


No absolution for you, monster!

rgHw4.jpg


Malakalov spots another of these horrible things!

O8mAe.jpg


U-Cat calmly takes it out.

CiADG.jpg


Another formerly human chrysalis advances towards Malakalov. Thankfuly it is slow.

FeLIX.jpg


Azira runs into another of those things. Unfortunately it is close!

qJLAj.jpg


Bizzarely, the zombie decided not to hurt Azira.

q8jkm.jpg


Azira has no such objections. Predictably, a chitinous alien hatched from the chrysalis.

X4Gjl.jpg


It didn't survive for long.

vlqsD.jpg


KickAss spots one of those chrysalids advancing through the building just in time to warn Ripper.

lcy0u.jpg


The Commander kills it.

nvKcN.jpg


Malakalov makes sure another chrysalis releases it's occupant.

3G1KB.jpg


And the Pope visits divine wrath upon it!

L4Ip6.jpg


The bad news is: it was not the last alien!

hkahb.jpg


It falls to the Pope's reaction fire.

JmQqe.jpg


And the alien terror is put to an end.

HXiDw.jpg


Again, the stunned chrysalid is very much alive, but we'll pretend it isn't because we haven't completed an autospy of one yet.

SVEnx.jpg


A very small UFO is detected over Asia. Perfect prey for Drakron!

gXIlU.jpg

jZco8.jpg


He brings it down easily.

AHCyc.jpg

YFRTY.jpg


Another very small UFO is downed over the Arabian Peninsula.

oAJPR.jpg

hRxAJ.jpg


The new facilities are ready - time to expand our science team.

dv26w.jpg


A Large UFO is detected over North America. It seems to be headed for Africa.

HeeyR.jpg


As Bee and his fellow pilot fly towards the alien base, where the UFO might be headed, their radars detect a smaller alien craft.

g4WT4.jpg


THEN KwaCOM detects a very large one!

hllE5.jpg

83ZC8.jpg


Bee engages the small UFO.

HBREv.jpg


The large UFO is detected again! No use engaging it with one Interceptor, but we might as well take a look at it.

jUJJF.jpg


WHOA another base! Them niggerians must have been put to hard work by their new masters.

Znw79.jpg


It's the first time we see this type of UFO. Curious.

SKfY2.jpg


Just as the Large UFO lands at what is quickly re-designated as Alien Base-1, another Large craft is located over North Africa! With the Very Large UFO prowling the skies, we don't have the means to act.

lo3Qg.jpg


After some time the Large UFO docked at Alien Base-1 departs it. Was that a logistics run? For the base or for the craft? Should another such UFO appear, we shall have to send the away team there!


No soldier roster this time, as I'm a bit further into the game. The update wasn't as long as I would have liked, but my time's limited.

Fuck yeah! Finally off the mark. MMXI Jr has a bright future ahead of him.

And I'm sorry, started the interrogation off a bit early. Seems these bitches can't take my questioning methods, so let's just chalk it up to "Death by Laser", alright? :smug:

Salutations Chief Storyfag,
I would like volunteer for any gas station attacks in the future terror missions. :salute:
I feel great joy when I see those plump little cans of gases, ready to explode like a pinata with a kiss of my laser bolt.

Death to Traitors,
RK47

Not as deadly as I expected. Are Chrysalids really that weak? Is their fame undeserved?

So it's like seven? One unbeliever scorned for each of the deadly sins - good work, Pope. Too bad we couldn't evangelize any of them so they would repent their sins and serve for the glory of Christendom, mankind and next-gen, of course, but with those new labs coming online, that should be relatively not that far in the future.

Crysallids in day missions are usually fine: their somewhat subpar AI often makes them mill around infront of your guns instead of bum-rushing your team. Night missions can quickly turn into utter destruction. Also, LRs were surprisingly effective in this mission - they can often soak up a few troops worth of laser death each, which adds to the headache.

Well, that should not be the case with the AI now, at least I tried to change it. Still, early days to say it's a complete fall. Although I'm disapointed as well.

Chrysalid are insane if they are near civilians. Good fucking luck if they somehow touch two nearby civilians and you only have enough TU to shoot it once. It fucked me over many times until I learned to just fuck friendly fire and throw a nade at any chrysalid until it dies.

I managed to write up another update after all.

As far as Chrysalid resilience goes, I had to bathe certain specimens in insane amounts of laser fire. I just failed to indicate that in the comments. Hopefully the quality of the comments for this update will be higher!


UPDATE 20

cSDZF.jpg

IGbwp.jpg

9xeCj.jpg

qOhLF.jpg


Team Kwa is again lead by all of it's officers :salute:

y7QJs.jpg


KickAss spots one of those tough green aliens.

hArnd.jpg


He then discovers the UFO and two more big green men.

63B5v.jpg


Hartman snipes the first hostile.

GSFAy.jpg


Azira disposes of another,

p7VSl.jpg


Slips wounds the third one, but is wounded in return!

SJnu4.jpg


Finally, the Pope dispatches the green beast.

NBtm8.jpg


KickAss discovers another one!

V0HxI.jpg


Half the team's concentrated fire brings it down.

SrkOe.jpg


Aliens fire at the team from both pyramids, but, miraculously, they miss!

pxJFf.jpg


That doesn't stop this alien from stunning Azira and Kazgar!

m7UL9.jpg


One of the alien ambushers is found.

7eHFY.jpg


Ripper and Slips kill it.

v06Od.jpg


Hartman patches Slips up.

kMX0p.jpg


KickAss spots...

g4UWd.jpg


...and he and PrzeSzkoda dispose of another hostile.

9bQDS.jpg

ccQvx.jpg


MXXI and Malakalov pick up weapons better suited to battling the green aliens from their stunned teammates.

BTF81.jpg


The last ambusher remaining alive wounds U-Cat who becomes unconscious!

k522d.jpg


Malakalov immediately tends to U-Cat's wounds.

YU6kL.jpg


The Pope finds the alien responsible.

z89Ek.jpg


He shoots it at point blank, but the alien merely grins and shoots back!

PBmKx.jpg


Fortunately the Pope survives and finishes the green beast off.

N9oZD.jpg


MMXI patches the Pope up.

EGx3a.jpg


Slips spots a hostile. It appears to be unarmed.

i6tHa.jpg


KickAss sees another one, and a weapon on the desert sand, confirming that the first one is unarmed.

jys19.jpg


After a long barrage, the unarmed alien is finally brought down by Hartman.

6LwDL.jpg


Malakalov spots two aliens in the UFO. One appears to be unarmed.

4IwpI.jpg


Ripper deals with the armed one.

OX7ly.jpg


The unarmed one comes closer to the door, right into...

MMtvy.jpg


...MMXI's sights!

xseZq.jpg


Malakalov spots another unarmed green beast. It survives a blast and both it and Malakalov rush for the weapon on the ground!

B54ac.jpg


The alien retreats back into the pyramid, but Malakalov is hot on it's heels.

IDWjW.jpg


He kills the creature.

S8K1d.jpg


MMXI exchanges fire with an alien. Both parties are wounded!

a69Pl.jpg


Ripper and MMXI corner the green beast in a room.

LtonN.jpg


And Ripper ends its life there.

VPIeL.jpg


Mission accomplished!

XpekW.jpg


Congratulations Comrade Malakalov :salute:

WR6Wf.jpg


At last! Maybe now research will go *somewhat* faster!

vj6B3.jpg

qO16Q.jpg


Finally! After all these months of research!

X6YbS.jpg


But we still lack understanding of a certain element found within Mind Probes.

8u9j1.jpg


Fortunately the very first Sectoid Engineer we interrogated so long ago is still willing to share his knowledge of this "Elerium-115"

kVZQy.jpg


Selling our stockpile of Floater corpses and Mind Probes earns us a shitton of monies.

FPe2X.jpg


A new KwaCOM Rookie takes up a callsign.

e2L3G.jpg


Drakron is sent to intercept the UFO.

58XjM.jpg

oTyEH.jpg

LddH5.jpg


And he downs it. Seeing as how one third of Team Kwa is on hospital leave, Team Potato will be taking care of ground missions in the immediate future.
