Location: Heaven. Pearly gates in the background at a distance.
Time: Just last night.

In ranks, a number of angels wearing X-COM uniforms are waiting to welcome their newest member. They are all here. In the front row, we can see four generations of the Illinifan family, there just to the left. Just behind them are both of the Blades's and a couple of Mr.Bugs's. In the back row, we see Kodos the Elder making rabbit ears (using two tentacles) behind Cam Edwards's halo. Next to him, the two Data Kings are chatting with Real Deal II and Coffee Warlord, Sr. All the jabbering stops though as trumpets blare.

An old, gray-bearded angel carrying some keys, escorts a young bewildered looking man over to the group. "Here ya go, boy. They'll take you from here," he says kindly.

One of the uniformed angels walks out from the first row and hugs the young bewildered soldier. "Well, son, ya did us proud. We all thought you were going to make it through that one, after the first two shots...well, ok, Al Hill, Jr. was giving 3-1 against, but other than that we were all thinking you'd make it. You did us proud though," Lokugh, Sr. said to his son, putting his arm around the young man. "Come over, meet the others, and then we'll take you to the depot to get your wings and halo. Once that's done, we'll take you over to our watering hole, The Splattered Sectoid. The Almighty gives us a soldiers a special dispensation on the whole alcohol thing, so don't worry about that. Then, on Tuesday, we'll all settle down in front of the 60 foot plasma screen and see how USACom does in France. Maybe that boy of yours will get called up soon..."

The group of uniformed angels all gather around the newcomer and lead him off into the distance, joking and jostling along. As they go, another group of angels form up...these not in uniform...and another trumpet sounds...
