Wouldn't they have an extremely good chance of detecting your base if you build it near theirs? If not go for africa if yes, go for south america. Also you forgot to change my rank in the roster for the last two updates, same with azira.

What, no love for Steve Irwinia? :rpgcodex: Consider this one vote for C

And what Desmodus said. The people who got promoted, you haven't changed their rank in the roster. :salute:

But Hartman saves the day!
:obviously:

--------------------------------------

One of the Floaters shoots him before he can retreat. RIP RK47 :salute:
:cry:

But he did manage to place a high explosive satchel inside the alien craft! Sweet revenge!
:troll:

Additional lulz for RK47 being the only reader who didn't get what happened here.

:thumbsup:

--------------------------------------

The UFO engages Drog aggressively!
:(

But he manages to bring it down.
:M

--------------------------------------

...and Hartman disposes of the beast most likely to reach our team.
But it is Hartman that deals with it.
Old Power FTW!

:bro:

--------------------------------------

And I vote

C

:salute:

I vote A. I must add that I have already forgotten what are we voting for and what do the options mean so I pick A since it's safe choice(I mean, there's always option A, unlike, say, option M or L) and because I like the letter.

As he was exploring the UFO's upper floor, Kazgar was fatally shot! RIP Kazgar :salute:

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I thought i was only a squaddie, how did people get promoted to replace me, I blame the man for keeping me back!

Anyhow, Kazgar III is ready for alien blasting!

I had a sublime thought. Everyone! Vote! Where shall we set up shop next?

A) South Amerikwa
B) South Africa
C) The Land Down Under

South Africa could potentially have bigger outreach once significant advances to jet propulsion is made.
Voting for B) lack Ops.

You were only a squaddie. But a captain also fell in this mission, so a sargeant had to be promoted to replace him, and a squaddie had to be promoted to that sargeant's place.


Please be patient about the update, it appears this week will be quite hectic for me. You should definitely expect something by Wednesday but I can't promise anything earlier.

I hope you replace NewBee with her brother BROBEERT who's eager to sacrifice his life fighting the alien threat. A true bro, he is. :P

UPDATE 27

4udBa.jpg


KickAss spots a Reaper. Its Floater masters must be nearby.

Kf2Ef.jpg


And here's the UFO. Right next to the Skyranger.

rfs1j.jpg


Hartman's autocannon rounds stun the Reaper.

qMuYK.jpg


Azira spots...

aDCKQ.jpg


...and Slips kills a Floater sniper.

uRw5K.jpg


Another Reaper rushes at Azira, but his personal armour is sturdy enough to withstand its razor-sharp fangs.

zThBH.jpg


Jaedar disposes of the thing.

8ZxvG.jpg


KickAss discovers two Floaters in the UFO's antechamber.

QOsYf.jpg


He presses the trigger, but his rocket takes out only one alien...

pWw9K.jpg


...fortunately it flees instead of blasting the tank to pieces. The unfortunate Floater appears in KickAss' camera feed once more. He promptly blasts it with another rocket.

iSqUT.jpg


U-Cat discovers a Floater.

qqCul.jpg


Nothing Azira's autocannon can't take care of.

xBMOI.jpg


As expected, the building housed a Floater fond of sniping.

kgEAY.jpg


"Housed" being the key word here.

IkaFM.jpg


This Floater tried to shoot Ripper.

9UBEX.jpg


The Commander retaliates, however.

1kZyk.jpg

rlEt8.jpg


Multiple Reapers roam the inside of the UFO.

Tx28r.jpg


But all problems can be solved by judicious use of rockets...

Tx28r.jpg


...and laser fire.

Ql7QU.jpg


Poundedanus spots another hostile.

BRg7R.jpg


His laser barrage merely stuns it.

zEXTx.jpg


After taking the place of the Floater sniper killed by Slips way back, Ripper starts to play the game himself.

3t9tj.jpg


He also discovers one more Floater, but is in no position to deal with it now, therefore retreats.

60H0e.jpg


But a new turn changes all that. Curiously, the Floater was unarmed... or was it preparing to lob a grenade at Ripper?

sbudT.jpg


Slips discovers a Floater in the upper alcove!

W7jS1.jpg


As he shoots it down, the thing's corpse falls on top of him.

T7aub.jpg


KickAss spots an ominous shadow in the other upper alcove. One rocket later a Floater's death scream is heard.

2Vz5x.jpg


Jaedar comes face to face with an unarmed Floater. He merely wounds it. On his way up, Steve dispatches a Reaper. How did the aliens manage to get that thing up there?

QCfwl.jpg


Finally, poundedanus deals with the Floater.

hiX2m.jpg


Steve sees another alien.

V7X1I.jpg


He misses it, hitting the console behind it instead! Fortunately the console explodes, taking the Floater with it.

RLTyk.jpg


It appears to have been the final hostile.

BUzba.jpg


BLOBEERT joins Team Potato.

OLR8m.jpg

63Buw.jpg


A Floater Engineer is interrogated. Curious species.

S6nV7.jpg


With the help of a textbook penned by the famous Azira, it was persuaded to share its knowledge of alien Battleships with us.

HEe4G.jpg

jj5zt.jpg

wkagX.jpg

joM8T.jpg


A whole fleet of UFOs is detected!

1iQWE.jpg


Drakron manages to catch up with the smallest one over North Africa.

w3FOL.jpg


As you can see one of the alien craft has landed in Egypt!

jSCrk.jpg


Team Potato decides to take it on!

Yay, I'm finally out of the hospital, AND I kill an alien!

But no promotion? Time to promote myself! Can I be placed behind a higher-ranking troublemaker on the next mission? :twisted:
