This is a Lost mission. Our first Lost mission, so there should be no ADVENT. Chick takes out the first Lost pair with ease. Oh look, seems Commander Balasarius was wrong… Squaddie Au walks right by a pod with a Sectoid and a Trooper. Truculent runs up the Sectoid to melee it, but it isn’t enough. Now he’s exposed. Lufkin flanks and takes out the Trooper. Au manages to finish off the Sectoid before it can move!
The second pod, also a Sectoid and Trooper, walks into range. Truculent one-shots the Sectoid with shotgun blast to the face! Chick flanks the Trooper and chainguns him down! Lufkin headshots a couple of Lost. Au hits a Lost but can’t finish it off. The Lost close in and wound Truculent. But now Truculent has them right where he wants them. Surrounded by 100% to-hit Lost, he clears out all six in the immediate vicinity.
Chick rescues a random Squaddie on the map. There are no visible enemies so the team starts to make for the extraction zone. We spot a lone Lost, but no one has a clean shot for it, so two team members have to go into overwatch and hope for the best. The lone Lost moves in, Au takes the shot… MISSES! But hits the explosive tank behind the Lost, killing it, and the new random Squaddie we found. The noise brings the Lost to bear. The team sucessfully evacs after rescuing the Scientist, suspiciously named… @Papageno. heh
So one of the squaddies we were supposed to rescue died and I didn’t find the other one. Alas.
