XCOM: THE QT3 GAME - PART 2

Now we’re talking. I’ve at least made myself useful in that life.

The team moved through the camp like a hot knife through Vegemite. Groups of Advent popped up but the team kept their cool and took them out with combined fire like the professionals they had become.

Near the end of the mission, a Faceless ambushed the team by a set of derelict dryers. After the rest of the squad took pot shots at it, Cpl. Sillhouette put a round through its big fat head.

Mission Accomplished! No deaths!

A first!

And the team’s first rap lyric!

Cpl. Sillhouette put a round through its big fat head.
Motherfucker bleed pink not red
Ugly fucker look like bubble gum
Claws like my ex bitch
Better run

Thing was a homie
Then it was not
Don’t trust no one
Don’t trust no one
Don’t trust no one.

Urrghhh. Pop. GRRARRRAR!

The team was chasing down an Advent General. It was almost over and they had it cornered.

Suddenly a new enemy, the Muton, appeared on the field. Before they knew what was happening, it had gunned down Doc @Lantz. The team opened fire and killed two of it’s Sectoid companions. With a flippant toss of a grenade, the Muton killed @lordkosc. The team redoubled their fire and took it down. Sgt. Schurem, thinking quickly, unleashed a bolt from his gauntlets and ended the threat. The General was cornered and killed.

Mission Accomplished, but at a heavy price.

It’s a goddamn slaughter out there!

PIX or it didn’t happen :P

When the Muton pulls out its sawed-off…bodies get hauled off…

What @Guap didn’t say, is that I dove on the grenade thus saving the team, right? Right!?!

You didn’t save me. After all I have done for you too!

Mission report… we have encountered The Hunter in the field.

The team was moving in to confront him and hitting him hard. Suddenly he materialized, out of the crazy purple alien energy, two Advent soldiers.

The new foes hunkered down amd protected their master. LT. Frank Zappa moved his specialized medical drone throughout the battlefield, healing 4 different squadmates including VETKOEK, SAREIN, and DESSLOCK.

The heavy, Lt. @SareIn, leveled the building that the agile Chosen had retreated to and was shooting from. @Fifth_Fret was already down, having taken a counter sniper shot from from the alien. He lay unconscious against a broken brick wall.

@RichVR sent the drone over and revived Fifth_Fret. The giant alien, mocking the team the entire time, teleported an Advent trooper behind the team. It gunned down @RichVR without mercy and the team, shocked, returned fire on all sources.

Finally, the team poured enough firepower on the Chosen that it stopped shittalking. @Desslock ran in and gutted the bastard with his red glowing blade. Wounded, the alien threw a concussion grenade, stunning everyone but Fifth_Fret, the sniper that the Chosen had been mocking all afternoon.

Fifth_Fret, tired and shaky, put a bullet between the alien’s eyes.

The Skyranger came and scooped up the team.

RIP LT. Frank “Freakout” Zappa

Hell yeah!

And thanks @RichVR!

I regret that I have but one or two or so lives to give for my squaddies.

Naturally!

The eggheads down in the lab had already finished researching plasma rifles, and were working on warden armor, which they had been inspired to research quickly… if two weeks was quickly.

Meanwhile, the Avatar progress increased and the Assassin was a sliver of knowledge away from trying to take back the Commander.

A covert mission to find her stronghold went horribly wrong when the covert op team, @ooomalley and @schurem, we’re ambused in an abandoned city. Surrounded by the Lost and with Advent on their heels, Lt. Schurem knew that getting their rookie specialist out was top priority. Hanging back, he held off the swarm of aliens and zombies while ooomalley dashed towards the pick-up point. Unfortunately, he made the ultimate sacrifice as he was cut down, bit not before taking a dozen of the bastards with him.

The fight continues…

The Alien Facility lay in ruins. As rue Skyranger climbed into the air, the team could see the dozen or so enemies be immolated by the explosion.

Unfortunately, the team lost Corporal @Balasarius, our only reaper, on this mission. After planting this X4 charge, she was surrounded by enemies and killed by the deadly embrace of a Viper. Moments later she was reanimated by a Sectoid to fight for the aliens.

The team swore later they could see her wave as the flames engulfed her.

haha, oh well. Reapers kinda suck until they can unlock Banish I think it’s called.

They’re useful for scouting.

The Chosen Assassin is dead! But at the price of the life of our sniper, @Fifth_Fret. Cut down by the blade of an Archon, from behind.

A few soldiers now fear Archons.

Long live X-Com!

Not again!

I am forever in your debt, @schurem … where “forever” means until I get offed next mission, of course.
