UPDATE 8
Proud new members of the X-COM away team.
The team is led by the fearsome eklektyk.
KickAss drives the tank. He spots a hostile!
It's that "Floater" warrior species again. Not good.
But Mal has an Autocannon.
With explosive rounds.
Remember how the Floaters shrugged off our grenades during the terror mission? Let them try shrug off this!
Stun rods are left in the transport, as without a Floater autopsy we can't hope to keep one alive in the containment facility.
Our tank is shot at by this loathsome creature!
pounded_anus II tests the laser rifle on it.
With most satisfactory results.
Desmondus II prepares to storm the UFO.
And stumbles upon a welcoming party.
A primed high explosive charge is relayed to him. He knows his fate is sealed.
The Floaters execute him as he throws it. RIP Desmondus II
But for all their resilience to grenades, they are NOT immune to Earth-made explosives!
Long overdue promotions.
And another UFO detected.
Bee catches it above Europe.
It's a large one. Well, it is if the info on the "Harvester" UFOs is, by chance, false.
Bee's avalanche missiles bring it down!
This is Spider's first mission as an officer.
Gondolin's camera feed reveals Sectoids...
...and the UFO.
Azira prepares to give the Sectoid a taste of Autocannon.
Xploshuns r fun.
The gray creature falls.
Another one approaches the tank.
And Gondolin shoots it with EXTREME prejudice.
Some scouting later he locates another hostile.
And Korenzel spots one more.
He deals with it.
Oh my God! They killed Merkwurdigliebe! Bastards! RIP Merkwurdigliebe
dextermorgan II avenges him.
All the while, Gondolin was trying to hit an alien. Rocket tanks are just more fun. Or it's that pad's fault...
In the meantime, Pope Amole, Garfunkel and toastboy were preparing to storm the UFO.
The aliens didn't approve and killed Garfunkel. RIP Garfunkel
But the Pope focused his righteous wrath into reaction fire with which he smote the heathen alien!
Gondolin once more saw the alien in his tank's camera feed.
This time the pad worked and awesome happened. The alien did not die from a direct tank round hit. Button = Awesome! indeed...
But the gray thing decided to flee...
...ending up right in dextermorgan II's scope.
He promptly ended its life.
But another Sectoid retaliated during the alien turn. RIP dextermorgan II
Gondolin hammered at his console in frustration, as he could do nothing to save the on-side teammates. And the tank was acting obnoxious again, refusing to hit the creature.
Meanwhile, in the UFO... the Pope located another hostile.
His Holiness' righteous fury knew no bounds. The gray creature was scorched with holy laser flame!
dextermorgan II's killer opened fire at our tank!
And retreated back inside the building.
toastboy's reaction fire killed a Sectoid during the alien turn...
...and our brave soldier spotted one more creature.
He could have tried to stun it, but decided against it.
Far too many lives were lost during this mission already.
The alien hiding in the building opened fire towards an advancing Azira, who already laid suppresive Autocannon fire against the building's walls.
All the silly Sectoid managed to do was blasting a huge hole in the wall it used as cover...
Azira promptly used that hole to blast the alien to pieces.
I appear to have missed Derper's death during the terror mission. RIP Derper
