XCOM recieved an urgent distress call from our only resistance camp in Siberia. Aliens landed and started killing the unarmed civilians at the camp. Our Skyranger was sent to the camp to help our allies. Little did they know what lay in store for them on the frozen wastes.
The mission started out well, with OMalley, McMaster, Garcia and the rest of the squad killing some aliens and helping the civilians.
Now this was a firefight! As Scott healed himself with his robotic pal, our Reaper took shots at the Chosen, but the alien armor could take a hell of a beating.
The squad engaged the Sectoids while trying to drive off the Chosen Assassin. Suddenly a flash grenade flew and blinded the entire squad. They staggered around the snow and stumbled upon Sectoids trying to creep up on them.
OMalley fired a volley into a Sectoid approaching Scott, killing the last attacking normal alien. While the rest of the team was blinded and distracted, the Assassin ran up to Scott and swiped him with her Katana AGAIN!
Scott crumpled to the ground again. As the rest of the the team moved into position, the Assassin, who had faded into the shadows once more, leapt out of the snowy darkness and pounced on Scott. She bent over him and ripped apart his mind with psychic powers, learning all she could about her adversary. With a purple flash she vanished, leaving the squad alone in the quiet, burning snow.
The team thought their troubles over. They approached the rescued hostages to let them know while it wasn’t pretty, the attack was over.
Suddenly, like Karl at the end of Die Hard, a civilian threw aside the blanket offered it and a hulking brute twisted and ripped out of the skin of the besieged human, discarding its mimetic skin and growing into a massive, weeping horror.
O’Malley stood directly beside this new threat. She ran for her life and put a burst of gunfire into it’s saggy body, but it still stood. The squad reacted, but the shock and horror of this new menace and the way it appeared was too much for them. Every single soldier missed their mark. The giant abomination shambled over to OMalley, reached out with its black claws, and tore out her throat.
The team opened up as a group and destroyed this new menace.
I was always certain that if I joined the military, I would die as soon as the bullets started flying. Now we have the chance to prove it. I will join the reserves and die horribly to advanced alien weaponry!
