September 15-20

Things go unusually quiet over the next few days. Two tiny UFOs attempt to fly over Europe, but Superman—who is proving to be a deadly pilot—blows both of the things apart. Otherwise, we get a badly needed break in combat.

We use the days to move our troops around and heal. Patman II, Wignasty, and Fonzie II get back to full strength; all of them are transferred back to active bases.

We also get three new recruits in our fold. Chief Rum III is the first one in, and it looks as if the biological experiment to breed uber agents may in fact be working to near perfection; he’s got all the skills to develop into a top agent. Zippy II arrives as well. Although he doesn’t have the top qualities of Chief Rum III, he is clearly a cut above the average. Both of these men are quickly processed and shipped off to Europe. Lastly, Glen Goyne arrives at USA COM. He doesn’t have the star potential of the previous two men, but he also has no real weaknesses. He is held in the US until we clear some space in Europe.

Craptacular’s research makes some solid progress. He now believes that the alien home planet may in fact be Mars. Currently he is working on Mind Probe technology, but he is chomping at the bit to get started on our captured Sectoid Commander, who should have the final answer to the riddle of the alien origins. In Europe, research continues on UFO Navigation, one of the keys to developing faster and stronger aircraft.

Finally, after six days of quiet, EU Hyper Wave decoders pick up a small scout heading east over the US. CapnMorgan chases the thing to Europe, where Superman downs it over central Spain with a well placed anti-air missile. We load up our ASIA COM Skyranger and launch it for Europe.

The same night, EU COM radar picks up a Floater-manned medium scout that lands in France. We launch the EU COM Skyranger, and time its arrival for dawn.

The following ten men are aboard the EU COM Skyranger, which will arrive and attack first:

Kodos, Coffee Warlord II, Real Deal III, Tasan, Zippy II, Chief Rum III, Afoci, Sir Fozzie, Wolfpack, Japherwaki II.

The ASIA COM Skyranger will hit the Spanish UFO crash site about two hours later. Busy day. Let’s give ‘em hell men!
