__________ END OF MESSAGE _________

I died already?

Yup. Sounds authentic. Carry on. ;)

Mission Failed, too, be because RIchVR beat a hasty retreat. Almost a full squad wipe!

Oh boy. It might be a short game. ;)

It was an honor to serve…

Mrs. McWolfe,

It is with a heavy heart I write to you informing you that your husband, @Jack_Howitzer, has been killed in battle. Jack was on a team recovering Advent supplies when he was immolated by the flaming grenade of an Advent Purifier. His remains will be mailed to you via his ashes in an official X-COM™ branded lunch box.

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

I just made that up, hope you like it.

Sincerely, XCOM Commander

EDIT: Like the phoenix from the flames I’d be happy to rise from the ashes and re join from the end of the queue, if you need more bodies to throw into the meat grinder.

put me in coach

The squad was sent out to retrieve a VIP from Lost territory. Cpl. Janick was able to find and carry the unconcious body of @Lantz, our new Specialist. He claims to have been a doctor before the war, so now we have a battlefield medic.

Long live XCOM!

Doc Lantz surveyed the Haven encampment the way one might frownily observe a pot roast with vegetables that’s been in the oven for 13 hours at 450 degrees.

The resident ship’s cook, @ArmandoPenblade, would disapprove.

Everything was on fire. The aliens had torn through the emcampment and set fire to everything. The resistance had set up strong points somewhere out there and were in the fight of their lifes against the Dementors attacking this city of tents and RVs.

Lantz shifted her drone controlling wristband and looked around. SadleyBradley, the Skirmisher, was loaded to near beside her. A Ranger, Desslock, unsheathed his blade, turned it over while checking it, and resheathed it with a click. His pal Sillhouette, another Ranger, checked the autocorrect on his name and looked out over the burning field of battle. Squaddie Kosc looked through the sniper scope at the battlefield, but then shakily dropped it and cracked the handle. He recovered it and looked sheepishly around the squad.

These five would save the civilians trapped here or die trying. The Quidditch Cup is cancelled, mother fucker!

frownily. lol.
