UPDATE 33
Despite the shock, X-COM High Command promptly begins rapid expansion of the remaining bases.
The Potatoland Military immediately offered to cede another base to X-COM, but, given the alien infiltration
of two former members of the Council of Founding Nations, it was decided that constructing a secret base
would be safer.
Two North American rookies take up callsigns in memory of two fallen European soldiers.
An UFO is detected and Drakron is sent to intercept it.
He brings it down just northwest off the Australian coast.
Team Kwa prepares to land near the UFO shot down over Asia.
RK47 is wired to the tank's console presently. He spots a Muton!
Make that two Mutons.
Jaedar exchanges fire with one creature, which wounds him in the process.
kazgar expertly dispatches the other alien.
Alien fire costs us Jaedar and kazgar!
RIP Jaedar
RIP kazgar
The Pope finds one of the aliens responsible.
His Holiness visits divine wrath upon it!
JoKa finds the other culprit.
He swiftly brings it down.
Gondolin finds two more aliens.
Hellraiser discovers a third one!
The Pope relayed a high explosive satchel to him.
And Hellraiser relayed it to the Mutons.
A Muton's death cry is heard.
Since the last high explosive pack worked so well...
No Mutons died to this one, unfortunately.
Fortunately the explosion weakened this alien...
...enough for Hellraiser to kill it.
RK47 spots the explosion's other survivor.
Hellraiser finishes it off.
Ending the mission.
Warcupine joins KwaCOM.
An UFO is detected dirtside in central Asia.
It will take a lot of time for the Kwanzanian Skyranger to reach the place, so we send Drakron to pin the
UFO to the ground.
Unfortunately the damn thing takes off despite his Interceptor circling above.
Then it escapes him
The Afrika Korps arrives! Expect multiple promotions after the next mission.
Another dirtside UFO is found. Let's hope Drakron manages to keep this one pinned down!
He doesn't!
A laboratory facility is completed at NorthAmCOM and we can resume our Elerium research.
Both revenge and a desire to put the Council of Founding Nations at ease motivate X-COM to launch this
assault.
We are about to assault the very first base the aliens built on Earth.
And KickAss spots a Floater on his camera feed.
As Warcupine moves to kill the cloaked figure, he spots another one!
He kills his first target.
And KickAss fires a rocket at the other alien.
JoKa spots...
...and dispatches one more Floater.
Steve sees a Reaper.
He kills it.
KickAss locates another hostile.
Warcupine shoots it dead.
Malakalov spots a Reaper.
He packs it full of high explosive rounds.
Desmodus comes face to face with a Floater.
As he dealt with the alien, the Pope discovered a Reaper right behind to it.
We lose Azira to alien plasma fire! RIP Azira
Dextermorgan sees far more hostiles than it is healthy...
Warcupine spots even more of them!
JoKa relays a primed high explosive satchel to Warcupine, who lobbs it at the alien gathering.
The explosion takes the creatures out.
U-Cat spots...
...and kills a Floater.
As the Reaper charged him, the Pope put it down.
KickAss discovers a Floater.
He dispatches it with ease.
Another Reaper charged our troops and bit the Pope
The beast falls dead by Desmodus' hand.
And Steve stabilises His Holiness.
Dextermorgan discovers another Floater.
He promptly shoots it.
A Reaper races to reach Dextermorgan.
It is too slow, however.
Desmodus discovers a Floater. He executes it immediately.
Warcupine spots two hostiles.
A high explosive satchel should be enough to deal with them!
That it does.
The Pope spots an alien.
Dextermorgan deals with it.
The Pope shoots two ominous shadows up an alien lift.
Hellraiser spots and kills a heavily armed Floater.
The mission is a success!
Promotions abound.
One of the new captains takes his callsign.
