XCOM: The War For Earth

(I’ll update the first post with whatever happens. Feel free to comment. Oh, and here’s the link to the recruitment thread.)

4:04AM

I’ve just arrived at the XCOM HQ. It’s on a little island just below China. Because the home base is in Asia, I hear we get 50% off on all projects in the foundry and officer training school. Let’s hope those bonuses are useful and productive. Well, they would be if only we had a foundry or training school. We obviously have the basics; a research lab, engineering, hanger, barracks, armory, med bay, situation room and mission control. The access-lift down below just leads to a satellite uplink. There’s plenty of room to grow down below, we just need to excavate the dirt out of it. I’ll send a crew down the lift to start digging out the right side of the first floor.

I just put in an order for 6 medikits. We have enough men to make three squads of four, so that totals out to two medics per squad. We only have 30 credits at this point, but you have to spend money to make it. We’ll never win this war if all our men come home in body bags. I’ve also ordered the research team to start looking into Xeno-Biology. If we get anything out of this, it’ll be just what we’re facing exactly.

4:06AM

A small U.F.O has just been spotted over Japan. Funny, you usually only see this kind of stuff in movies. We’ll scramble the jets and see if we can’t shoot that fucker down.

UPDATE: The U.F.O's on the ground, but the ship seems to somehow still be intact. If the ship survived, we can only guess there are aliens roaming down there as well. Raven 1 took some heavy damage while shooting, the strike team we’re about to send in better have more luck.

For this mission, we have both Blue Rose and Turtle Rose, a couple who show excellent results when working together. There’s also Torment Pain, a hardened American soldier who’s gone through more than a few wars. Lastly we have Al Koka, a recruited vigilante best known by his full suit of armor, a sight that could scare any criminal at the dead of night. With this team, things look promising.
