From:. XCOM Commander
To:. All personnel on the Avenger
It is with a heavy heart that I inform you two of our finest, @sillhouette and @Chappers, have been killed in combat with The Chosen and Advent. These two were both officers amd on their way to leading the victory over our enemies. No greater sacrifice can be made to our cause. There will be a memorial service at the bar on board tonight at 1800 hours.
Replacements, to the front line! We have Lost to kill in what’s left of Vancouver. To the Skyranger!

Mid mission report from the field
_--------------+++++++++++++++++++
All operatives are badly injured. The Lost are overwhelming us. A new Chosen has appeared, this one can summon exploding zombies. We are trying to get to him but may have to evac this mission.
Please stand by.
Whew, this is a tough one. Everyone down to a few health. Looks grim.
Abort. We don’t want to wipe 5 vets at this point. We can come back geared up better. Really up against a wall if we lose our abilities before our rookies can at least have a little armor or lasers
A great fight so far, but every time the Warlock shittalks at the end/beginning of a round, it crashes. Maybe it’s a voiceover bug on Lost missions only?
I’ve been playing the heck out of this the last 2 weeks.
If you need yet another reservist feel free to add me.

After the loss of two top operatives, XCOM needed a win. A quick jaunt to the ruins of Vancouver to forage for supplies seemed just the trick.
However, when they deployed and started engaging Advent and The Lost on the ground, things went south quickly. A new Chosen, The Warlock, appeared on the battlefield.
This mighty alien warrior had a dangerous trick up his sleeve right off the bat. Summoning exploding zombies that attached the Lost Swarms. He also appeared to be complete invulnerable to the Lost’s clumsy swipes and our blades.
Running from crumbling building to abandoned subway lines, the team was beset on all sides. With everyone wounded and out of medkits, it seemed only a matter of time before they were wiped out.
Back at the Avenger infirmary, Lt. Lantz listened in on the battle chatter from her hospital bed. She keyed into the team radio frequency and suggested they return to base. She did not want to lose the entire squad for a few supplies.
With reluctance, team sniper RichVR covered the team while a Skyranger was called and the squad evacuated the area.
There were some great soldiers under his command, but Advent’s progress on their doomsday weapon was progressing far too quickly. So far they had been responding to missions and helping fend off attacks. But if they couldn’t take the fight to the aliens this war would be over quickly, and humanity doomed.
Sorry, buddy. You got badly injured for a while and haven’t been on another mission yet. You’re actually at the bottom cut off from the screen. Next mission, @lordkosc!
