The enemy has discovered our mobile base and hit it with some sort of EMP. We managed to make an emergency landing, but the aliens dropped off some kind beacon which is preventing us from escaping. With XCOM's future in the balance, we mobilize all our forces to mount a defense and escape from this trap.

Six of our finest roll out and take cover next to the helicarrier's ramp, and everyone but elly misses their reaction shots on the approaching aliens. Come the second firing round, almost everyone misses a second time, only resulting in some minor damage to the enemies. A sectoid freaks David out with psychic shit while swordmen rush our soldiers. Kammy is hit by one sword, while Sophi blasts the second swordsman in the face when it tries to slice her. 

More aliens enter the field; troopers and a mechtrooper. Herzi joins the battle, because we need as many reinforcements as possible. He somehow manages to miss a shotgun show with the alien right next to him. Sophi takes a solid shot against the mecha. Kammy kills the swordsman who attacks her, while dipshit slices through a sectoid who had breached our lines. Aza fires several grenades, which deal respectable damage.

The remaining enemies advance further, while Megan enters the battle, despite being wounded. David lobs a grenade, killing a sectoid and burning through the mechs armor; Sophi then snipes the fuck out of the mech. Elly finishes off the last enemy.

Dipshit, Herzi and Aza begin to advance on a beacon which is keeping us landed. A couple more troopers appear on the edge of our vision, and we receive word that the enemy is mobilizing all of their forces to stop us.

Dipshit, tired of all this bullshit, charges one of the troopers and cuts him in half, while Sophi snipes the other one, Sadly, more reinforcements join the battle, but Vi joins as well. Literally everyone misses their reaction shots on the new enemies

Sophi takes a shot at the beacon, as does Megan. Elly protects Dipshit from a swordsman. Herzi takes out a commander with his shotgun. Dipshit slashes another trooper in half.

The enemies all manage to miss their targets, thankfully.  Elly & David tag team a mech, taking it down. Herzi slices a trooper in half and Aza shreds a sectoid with minigun fire. Kammy finished off the last trooper. Megan takes another potshot at the disruptor, blowing it up.

Mission accomplished! Now everyone has to make it back to the helicarrier alive. We make a slow, steady retreat, trying to take as many lives as we can in the process. Dipshit blows one up with her shotgun, while Herzi does the same to another. Everyone else preps for more reinforcements coming in.

More reinforcements land, and everyone takes potshots. One trooper dies while landing, while their mech is heavily damaged. Dipshit takes a sword to the face, but fails to return fire, and David blows up the new mech with a Grenade. Elly tries to protect Dipshit why opening fire on the swordsman who hit her, but fails. Herzi arrives and slices the offender in half.

More reinforcements.. and even more on the way. Yuki takes another hit and is almost in critical condition, so she books it back to the helicarrier. Elly heals her. Everyone begins to run back towards the ship - Sophi manages to grenade one trooper while David wastes another.

More enemies land.. we're outnumbered. The enemies focus fire on herzi. Unfortunately, he doesn't survive. David runs to grab Herzi's body, hoping to make it back before dying himself. Thanks to a couple of grenades, the team manages to take out the murderer, and Aza wastes a second trooper.

David takes heavy fire and almost dies. If it wasn't for Kammy's lucky shot on an approaching enemy commander, he would have probably fallen as well.

Everyone made it back to the landing pad, and the squad manages to take out two more swordsmen before we retreat.

Mission accomplished - but at what cost?
Three wounded, One dead.
