X-COM II: The Earth’s Revenge (Part XI)

[RealDeal]

I'm going aggressively. Making the base assault has been my number goal since the first mission of the first X-com, so I'm going all out for it. Due to Kerlinni killing my talented grandfather and due to my always ending up on the wimpy missions, it now looks like I will be denied. I'd rather be dead than sitting at home during the base mission. So I want to go in and try to kill as many aliens as I can.

I like how if you get klled, you are D/C

I think you'll definitely get on board this one, though. Some of the agents on the list aren't around that much, and someone above you is bound to win the Agent's Choice award.

[Tasan]

Hey if not enough guys report in for this mission, can you throw some of us Africa guys in that have been active, or are kids of former Squadies? Just a suggestion ;- )

As we wait word on the USA COM's mission to Siberia, I grab an early dinner, and then start back toward my room to try to relax. As I walk the halls of USA COM, I think about the men who are once again risking all for their planet. It is this time--the waiting--that is always the hardest part for me. How many men did I send to their deaths today? How many men will endure unimaginable pain because I have once again ordered them into the breach? How many more must die to before this hellish war ends? I have been asking myself these questions since the first day of this war, and finally the answers may lie less than a week away. But it does not make the wait tonight any easier.

I arrive at my door, unlock it, and step inside. I turn on the light, and glance around the room. The red light on my phone is flashing: message. I cross to it, press the play button, and listen...

It is a female voice. Miss Terry's voice. She is crying. Her words are nearly unintelligble...

"...sorry..too late...it's starting...it's awful...all the bodies...everyone...they are all dead..."

The message ends.

[jerk3616]

GB - You know I love you (in a plutonic, mannish sort of way of course)...but seriously. Damn.

Now I have to eat bon-bons and watch the Lifetime channel to get over your post. I blame my love handles on you.

[Breeze]

I love this one:

Get killed: Disqualified

[SirFozzie]

Bleah again

[Chuck U Farley]

Chuck U. only goes aggressive

[Raven Hawk]

Good luck Jeeber and CW! Do me proud, so we can remove you from the peer voting list.

Raven Hawk II goes Normal if you need alternates to the alternates.

[illinifan999]

I will go cautious. I'm a wimp, this is the longest an Illinifan has gone without dieing/running away doing who knows what now.

[Breeze]

I'm brave, but I'm also slow to the draw - so getting the most kills seems far fetched - unless I do and awesome job with a blaster launcher. I go normal.

107th Mission: Snakemen in Siberia

The USA COM Skyranger soars over the dark, frozen North Pole on its way to battle Snakemen in Siberia once again. This route, this battle, has almost become a ritual.

D-Day lies only six days away, and we still have a number of positions left to fill on the 18-man strike team. This will be one of the last few chances for these agents to make a statement to X-COM command to be selected in the final round of X-COM Command Selections.

As the Skyranger begins its gradual descent to the battlefield, Jeeber D goes to unlock the blaster launcher locker. The lock sticks, and he is unable to get the thing open. He tries a number of times to jimmy the lock, but nothing works. Just then, the Skyranger begins its quick, vertical drop, and for the moment, the Blaster Launcher is locked away, unavailable for use. Jeeber grabs a Heavy Plasma from a rack next to the locker and works his way back to his spot in the Skyranger.

Patman II will lead our men.

Our men:

Left Side:
1. Achilles (Heavy Plasma, Flying Suit)
2. Sublime II (Heavy Plasma, Flying Suit)
3. Jeeber D (Heavy Plasma, Flying Suit)
4. Mr. Bug IV (Heavy Plasma, Flying Suit)
5. Klayman III (Heavy Plasma, Flying Suit)

Right Side:
1. Patman II (Heavy Plasma, Flying Suit)
2. Lokugh III (Heavy Plasma, Flying Suit)
3. AStott (Heavy Plasma, Flying Suit)
4. Anxiety III (Heavy Plasma, Flying Suit)
5. Katon II (Heavy Plasma, Flying Suit)

The Skyranger drops to the stark, cold Siberian forests. We’re coming down just as the sun peeks over the horizon to the east. Long shadows play in the pine trees below. It looks like we’ll be coming down in a large clearing in the middle of the active zone today. Unusually for this area, we’ve got some open space to work with; the entire area appears lightly wooded instead of the usual dense forests we encounter up here.

We can also make out the badly damaged, cross-shaped UFO. It’s smoking hulk will right beside our exit ramp to the left, about 10 meters away. We’ll be facing the UFO door, so things should get interesting fast. Elsewhere, we’ve got a small hill about 20 meters in front of our exit. To the right of our Skyranger exit and by the nose of the craft, we’ve got large hills. There is also a small hill to the left of the UFO.

The Skyranger drops the final few meters to the ground and lands softly on the frozen earth. The ramp falls away…

Nothing. Cold air washes into the Skyranger bay.

Our tank rolls out of the Skyranger and spots a Snakeman right beside the Skyranger ramp, about 5 feet from our craft! Achilles and Patman II bolt forward, launch themselves out of the Skyranger, twist in the air, and open fire. Achilles blows a hole in the Snakeman’s torso before it can get a shot off at our tank, which has jumped vertical to avoid fire. As the Snakeman topples backwards, Achilles and Patman II hit the ground, roll, and take up firing positions. No other signs of movement. X-COM 1, Aliens 0.

Achilles scrambles back up the ramp as Patman II moves to the left landing gear. Just as Patman gets to the gear, he spots a Snakeman, about 30 meters away, cutting towards our position from the right of the large hill on the right of the Skyranger. Patman twists, aims, and fires. Plasma races toward the alien and nails him in the stomach. The alien lets out a wail and tumbles to the ground, twitching. Within seconds it is dead. X-COM 2, Aliens 0.

Lokugh III, Sublime II, and AStott are next out of the Skyranger. Lokugh jumps down to the right landing gear. Sublime II prepares a grenade to toss through the large hole in the UFO roof. AStott goes vertical to try and spot aliens from up high. Our tank starts a circular sweep high above our Skyranger.

Suddenly, Lokugh III picks up a Snakeman, about 30 meters away, advancing on our position through some woods to the left side of the Skyranger, up by the nose of the craft. Both Lokugh and AStott open up. Plasma tears up the ground around the Snakeman, who turns to flee. Lokugh slams a shot into his torso, but the alien stays up. An instant later AStott blows the right side of its skull apart with a headshot. The creature screams and falls. X-COM 3, Aliens 0.

Before we can catch our breath, Patman spots another Snakeman bearing down on us to the right of the hill on our right. Patman is the only one with a shot. The Snakeman goes for his weapon at the same time. Patman pulls the trigger first, but slams a shot off the hill. The Snakeman blows a chunk of dirt up at Patman’s feet. Patman’s second shot has better luck, as it disembowels the Snakeman and sends it crashing to the forest floor. X-COM 4, Aliens 0.

Just as this ends, Sublime’s grenade disappears into the UFO and goes off with a dull crash. Smoke comes billowing out of the UFO, and we hear yet another alien scream! On the tails of the scream, Jeeber D makes it out of the Skyranger, goes vertical, and trains his weapon on the UFO door and at the gaping hole in the UFO roof. X-COM 5, Aliens 0.

Yet another alien comes charging down on our position. This one is about 40 meters away, up past the nose of our Skyranger, and is firing from the hip as it advances. Jeeber D goes vertical, leads the Snakeman by a couple of feet with his heavy plasma, and opens fire. The Snakeman rushes through the hail of fire, as AStott, Patman, and Lokugh join in the fray. It’s Jeeber D that racks up the kill, though: A plasma blast to the torso blows a chunk out of the creature and drops it to the ground. X-COM 6, Aliens 0.

Back in the Skyranger, Klayman III pries open the stuck Blaster Launcher cabinet, stuffs a missile in the weapon, plots a quick firing path out of the Skyranger bay and into the UFO, and pulls the trigger. The missile roars out of the bay, cuts left, and disappears into the hole in the roof. The missile twists and turns inside the UFO, then slams into something and goes off with a massive roar. Flames and smoke mushroom out of the hole in the roof, and we hear yet another alien screaming in agony. X-COM 7, Aliens 0.

As this explosion dies down, our men frantically scan the forest and UFO for signs of more aliens. While the do this, Katon II replaces Patman II at the Skyranger landing gear. Mr. Bug IV replaces AStott on the left side of our exit. Anxiety III replaces Sublime overlooking the UFO. Patman II, AStott, and Sublime II head back into the Skyranger bay to join Achilles.

Just at they get there, our Hovertank spots yet another alien advancing on our position from the right side of the hill to the right of the Skyranger. Lokugh III and Katon pick up the alien on their HUDs and open fire. Both men are wild at first, but Lokugh quickly adjusts and hits the alien with a plasma blast that blows a chunk out of the creature’s groin and drops it wailing to the ground. X-COM 8, Aliens 0.

And with that, our threat sensors turn green. Four minutes, eight seconds. Eight dead Snakemen. No casualties. Not bad, men. Not bad at all.

Kills: Achilles, 1; Patman II, 2; Sublime II, 1; AStott, 1; Jeeber D, 1; Klayman III, 1; Lokugh III, 1.
KIA: None.
Wounded: None.
Attribute Improvements: Achilles, Patman II, Sublime II, AStott, Jeeber D, Klayman III, Lokugh III, Mr. Bug IV.
Final score: 200.
Mission Notes:
Man, that was some fast action. Aliens flying at us from all directions.

AStott becomes our fifth 20 missions/20 kills agent today, as he picks up his 20th kill on this, his 20th mission. Nice job, AStott!

It appears that Miss Terry was completely wrong! Never trust a fortune teller, that’s what I always say!

As our Skyranger turns east and skies up over the North Pole to return to USA COM, Klayman III notices a white streak falling towards earth through the still twilight skies well to the west of our Skyranger. A falling star, perhaps? An omen, perhaps?

[Wolfpack]

I'll be more restrained in my approach. Frankly, if I don't cover for the more aggressive types and they get killed, I ain't got a chance to come out alive anyway. So, I'll be somewhat cautious and hang back a bit.

[jerk3616]

"As our Skyranger turns east and skies up over the North Pole to return to USA COM, Klayman III notices a white streak falling towards earth through the still twilight skies well to the west of our Skyranger. A falling star, perhaps? An omen, perhaps?"

Neither...that would be me throwing myself off of a tall building after buying into that Miss Terry psychic crap. I guess now, when I become active, I should properly be called jerk II...the first X-Com soldier who commits hari kari before even reporting for duty.

[Godzilla Blitz]

Just a quick note. I've updated the Battle Competition rosters, and expanded the alternate list to include active agents with two kills or more. 12 agents have checked in so far, but I think we'll still need four more agents to confirm, figuring that it looks like two agents (Coffee, Raven Hawk, or Jeeber D) would drop out if they win the Agent's Choice Awards.

About 9 and a half hours left to sign up. If we don't have enough agents as of midnight CST, we'll take first come, first serve until we fill the Skyranger.

[Poli]

I'm willing. and normal.

[SirFozzie]

I'm in too.

[Qwikshot]

Qwikshot will be normal...

[Lokugh]

Well, if I am eligible, I'm in the battle competition.

[fantastic flying froggies]

Just caught up on the last 2 missions and...

I HIT SOMETHING !!!!

Yesssssssss ! OK, it was a UFO with a blaster launcher and I got lucky and got me an alien with that hit but still...

See, we just knew we had to stop drinking the damn alien beer...

Qwikshot will change to aggressive, no guts no glory...

[Vince]

I love this dynasty...I was supposed to be in class for the last half hour, and had just posted here that I don't have time to catch up...but of course, I did catch up.

I'd like to volunteer to be an Aggressive soldier in the Combat Competition!

[NAIWF]

I'm in and normal

[JeeberD]

Who the hell locked up the blaster launcher locker so that I couldn't get multiple kills? Sabotage, I tell you...SABOTAGE!!!!

[Godzilla Blitz]

December 7, 7:24 PM CST

I get word of the successful USA COM mission and breathe a sigh of relief. Miss Terry has not been wrong until now, and even though I chide myself for half-believing her, she was in part responsible for saving Kodos' life.

On a whim, I go to my phone and scan the numbers of the incoming calls. There it is. From Fargo about an hour ago. I dial the number and wait...

Miss Terry: Hello...Mr. Blitz?

She is still sobbing.

Me: Yes. I have good news. You can stop crying, Miss Terry. You were wrong. All of our agents are returning safely. No one was killed. The only bodies were those of aliens.

Silence.

Me: Miss Terry? Did you hear me? Everyone lived.

Miss Terry: Yes...I'm sorry...I'm glad for you agents, Mr. Blitz...But it was not...them I was talking about...It is too late...They are all dead, Mr. Blitz...and it is only the beginning...You have no idea.

One of the red lights on my phone starts flashing: incoming call. I ignore it.

Me: What are you talking about?

She is crying worse now.

Me: Look, let me come and see you. I'll head over. I have time now. You can explain everything.

Another light goes on. Another incoming call. I recognize the second number: EU COM. And then a third light goes on: ASIA COM. What the hell is going on? I better check.

Me: Sorry, Miss Terry, but I'll have to call you right back. It seems I've got a bunch of a calls that might be urgent. It'll be five minutes. I promise. Bye.

I hang up and reach for the button to take the EU COM call.

It was a promise I did not keep.

[Alf]

You liar !

[Godzilla Blitz]

Random Replies...

Jeeber: I accidentally hit the "ok" button before distributing all the weapons. Had to come up with something to explain why no one had a blaster launcher.

Vince: Thanks! I'm glad you're in.

Jerk: You funny ha ha. Where were you a year ago? We could have used you.

Ardent: Don't worry about the brownie points thingie. I think you bring a lot to the dynasty, and I'm glad you enjoy it.

Tasan: I think we're going to have enough agents, now. Sorry. I wish there was a way to get everyone to Mars.

[Glengoyne]

Dola,

Oh Normal I'd guess.

If I make the mission, I wouldn't want to be the guy standing next to me. Then again I haven't been mind controlled yet. Maybe these Psi ratings aren't all they are cracked up to be.

[kingfc22]

If i have any shot at the battle comp. mission (very unlikely). I'll go aggressive.

[Poli]

GB, I really wish I had paid attention to this thread earlier.

Revrew did a soft recruitment of me a few months back, too.

[kingfc22]

Along the same lines. I wish I knew of FOF sooner.

[DeToxRox]

I say Normal. It doesnt discriminate.

[JeeberD]

Uh-oh...are bases coming under attack?

[Poli]

I doubt it. GB wouldn't still be fielding offers for the mother ship if they had.

[JeeberD]

Unless he was trying to keep us on our toes and not give away anything that's "already happened"...

[Wolfpack]

Under attack doesn't sound like the half of it. Nuked sounds more appropriate. Then again she could be describing the next mission in which intrepid X-Com forces wipe out yet another downed alien craft.

[Godzilla Blitz]

Battle Competition Update

Just a quick update again...

There are a little over three hours left to sign up, so jump in if you're on the list.

A couple of quick thoughts. Judging from missions when I was learning the game, I'd have to say that selecting "aggressive" mode probably entails greater than a 50% chance that you will die on this mission. Normal probably will amount to about a 35% chance. Cautious would be about 10-15%. If you want to change, now's the time. Of course, given that we've got a unique mix of agent fighting styles of this mission, all those numbers may be off.

Also, if anyone wants out for whatever reason, let me know. There are still three agents to be picked by X-COM Command when all the contests are over, and agents may die between now and then, so if you've got a bad feeling about this, now is also the time to tell me you want out.

Just a reminder on how to confirm your spot on the roster...

The Battle Competition requires a post here saying that you're in, and what kind of combat mode you prefer: aggressive, normal, cautious. If you don't care about the combat mode, I'll probably put you on normal. More details are near the bottom of page 6 in this thread.

Will this mission happen before or after the conclusion of the puzzle contest? The last thing I want to do is win the puzzle contest only to get killed because I was going aggressive in the challenge mission.

The mission will happen before the end of the puzzle contest. The puzzle contest will run through tomorrow, I'm thinking. I plan on fighting and posting this mission tomorrow. You've got somewhat of a tough choice to make.
