Let's Play X-COM Long War

[tber123]

C'mon, include my character a bit more often.

Wish granted. Nooble the Noble gets to snipe most of the enemies in this update due to the map design.

Hostage Rescue

Annette Durand wasn't the only individual the aliens took a special interest in. Three of her friends that ALSO had psionic powers were kidnapped.


Soldiers attending: Mr. GUTS8(TANK AI), MANOSUKE, Bump Buttinski, Run N Fun, Annette Durand, Nooble the Noble, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot



Annette Durand: This is the ship holding three of my other friends hostage. We're going to multilate those alien bastards and save them all.
Mr. Gutsy: LOCKED AND LOADED, AND READY TO KILL COMMIE BASTARDS.
Nooble the Noble: We're in this together!
Run N Fun: Leeroy Jenkins!



Mr. Gutsy: THOSE DAMNED REDS KNOW WE'RE HERE. MAKE THEM DIE FOR THEIR COUNTRY.
Anette Durand: We have to hurry!



Nooble the Noble: Heads up! MUTONS!



Run N Fun: Going in for the kill!

*CHOOM*



Run N Fun: He's down. See you in hell.



Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: Reptilian on our flank. He's dead and stuff.



Bump Buttinski: LOOK OUT, RUN N FUN! ITS AN AMBUSH!



Run N Fun: Godamn---

*FWOOSH*



Run N Fun: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH.



Nooble the Noble: Run N Fun is down!
Bump Buttinski: N-NO!



Bump Buttinski: You'll pay for that!



MANOSUKE: The hell is that?



Bump Buttinski: Help! Its right next to me!



Bump Buttinski: You cannot break me! I've survived worse than a gulag!



Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: Another one joins the afterlife.



Nooble the Noble: Steady..... Steady.....



Nooble the Noble: RIP.



MANOSUKE: Is that the thingy?
Anette: We have to rescue the others! Come on!





Bump Buttinski: More aliens approach! Listen!



MANOSUKE: There you are.



Mr. Gutsy: THE CAPITALIST MENACE IS HERE. PREPARE TO DIE.



Mr. Gutsy: THE WHITE HOT RAGE OF CAPITALIST JUSTICE! DELIVERED TO YOU!



MANOSUKE: OH GOD! ITS CHARGING AT ME!



Anette Durand: I hope you and your friends all die horribly!



Nooble the Noble: Boom. Headshot.



Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: More reptilians trying to sneak around! NOOBLE, DUCK!



Nooble the Noble: They're clever, but not clever enough.



MANOSUKE: Another one bites the dust.




Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: Floaters, Hulks, and Grey Aliens on the right! Open fire!



Mr. Gutsy: AMERICA SAVES THE DAY.



Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: How does that MISS?



MANOSUKE: Looks like this Muton is going down with a fight.



MANOSUKE: You had your chance.



*CHOOM*



Bump Buttinski: Taking heavy fire!



Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: You owe me a beer now, Buttinski. I saved you.



Anette Durand: FLASHBANG!



Nooble the Noble: You can't run from ME!



Nooble: Time to say your prayers, Floater.








Anette Durand: Is that it? Did we kill the last of them? The radar shows no activity.



MANOSUKE: Nope.



MANOSUKE: Mutons.



Annette: I thank all of you for helping to free my friends. We'll gladly fight for the survival of humanity.



X-COM now has multiple Psionic operatives in it's possession. The odds are turning against the Aliens.

[Kochieboy]

Bump Buttinski has been wounded for your sins.

[Rigel]

RIP Run N' Fun

He had a good run.

[tber123]

Had an update ready for tonight, then EXALT kicked my ass due to poor troop selection for this mission and my soldiers missing 75% chance to hit shots all the time. When they DO hit the enemies, they don't do full damage. Also, forgot to save.

[tber123]

Operation Lost Crone

Soldiers attending: METALLICA-11(SHIV), Paul "Tank" Sawyer, Talia, Protile, RASL, Jack Knife, Alecto


Not shown: A stuffton of EXALTs that I couldn't screenshot

There were too many EXALT forces by the Encoder, so we had to abandon it and let them come to us when the Transmitter's location was revealed.



Multiple EXALTs fired on the SHIV and missed....



.....And then the SHIV was critically hit and badly damaged.



METALLICA-11: WITH MY LAST DYING BREATH, THE BELL TOLLS FOR EXALT!



EXALT 1: Damn it, why can't we shoot straight?



EXALT 2: Aw, forget.



EXALT 3: Look right here, scrubs.



EXALT 3: BANG! Get good!



handicap Convention: Here we go!



RASL: Blow these traitors to kingdome come!



Talia: See you in hell.



Jack Knife: Time for some doctor assisted homicide....



Protile: Oh stuff!



Paul "Tank" Sawyer: You won't be disturbing anyone else now.



RASL: SMOKE OUT!



EXALT 1: BLARGH!



EXALTs 2 and 3: Oh crap! The car is on fir--- *BOOM*



handicap Convention: Thank god for EXALT using Always-On DRM and placing Comm Relays out in the open.



Jack Knife: A laser to the neck a day keeps the terrorists away!



EXALT 4: Come, my brothers! We must rush the Transmitter! ETHERAL ACKBAR!



Talia: Not today.



EXALT 5: HOLY SHI---



RASL: You should have ran when you had the chance, boy!



Warrison Carter finally earns his nickname: Protile.



I'm starting to regret not picking "Not So Long War" already. This is dragging on.

[Rigel]

Metallica charged into there all by itself?

Sounds like some obvious Self Delete, perhaps you can redeem it?

Metallica was going to die anyway due to the critical hit reducing it to 1 HP. Might as well die taking down as many of them as you can rather than die running away.

Operation Dying Justice
Rigel shotguns everyone, Cirno survives despite me trying to get her killed(due to being a redshirt with a name), and I actually update this godamn thing.

Wilson(SHIV Operator), Rigel, Pyro Rookie, Cirno, Rook40, Dreams of Cheese, Redshirt Charlie attending this operation.



Rigel: 5 seconds into the mission and already we've been spotted!



Dreams of Cheese: I got this!



Rook40: These things are heavy! Why do I have to carry the Battle Rifles?



Pyro Rookie: TAKING FIRE.



Rigel: Ssssh! Hear that, guys? MELD!



Pyro Rookie: Godamn, stop dodging!



Wilson: It takes more than that to kill me, Floaters!



Cirno: Time to prove that IM THE STRONGEST!



Redshirt Charlie: Friendly fire? WHAT friendly fire?



Cirno: BOOM! That should be enough to prove I'm the strongest!



Muton: RRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA R!

Cirno: Meep.



Rigel: Say hello to the Lazer Boomstick for me!



Rigel: Double kill!



Rook40: Damn you, incredibly heavy Battle Rifle!



Dreams of Cheese: Help! I'm being flanked!



Rook40: I got this! I'll flank around the flanker!



Cirno: I'll deep-freeze you Mutons and smash you into pieces!



Wilson: SURPRISE, SURPRISE!



*CHOOMCHOOMCHOOMCHOOMCHOOM*



Pyro Rookie: 1 damage, what in the fu---

Muton: RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW WRRRRRRRR!





Rook40: OH COME ON.



Redshirt Charlie: Pop goes the Muton! Saved your ass!

Rook40: I guess I owe you a beer.



Rigel: Any last words, Mutons?



Rigel: None? I thought so.



Cirno: Outsider alien spotted!



Cirno: There you are! I'll laser you and be a hero!



Wilson: Nothing beats a SHIV. Godamn, I love this thing.



Rook40: Can't get a good shot! Dreams of Cheese, you should Hunker Down!
Dreams of Cheese: Roger!



Wilson: What the hell is this Outsider doing to my beloved SHIV?



Wilson: M-My SHIV......................... ..... N-NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Following the loss of his SHIV, Wilson suffered a mental breakdown.



Cirno: Flanking around and saving the day!



Cirno: Darn! Theres a wall blocking my way!



Rook40: Rigel, get over here!
Rigel: Dramatic door kick, GO!



Cirno: How weak! You suck!



Rigel: Set em up to knock em down.



*CHOOM*



RIP BITCH-3. 8 missions and 21 kills. Godspeed to the Robot Afterlife.



We have a new recruit from Japan we can rename also.

Things X-COM Operatives Are Not Allowed To Do
12. Engineering Staff: S.H.I.V. units are not to be programmed to shout “YOLO!” when given ‘double time’ commands.
12a. S.H.I.V. units are not ‘one shot minesweepers’.
12b. There is one pink afro wig in Lost and Found, retrieved from the top of a S.H.I.V. unit. Could the owner come and retrieve it?

[Rigel]

Nice update. Although, the loss of Wilson's shiv is sad indeed.

Also, I think Cirno should keep her name, she's seemed to have proven herself well enough.

You know what sucks about the new recruit, though? Wasn't able to make her a medic. Planned for another "douchebag medic" character (Because the real Wilson is too busy being crippled and is STILL wounded) named Dr. Wu, inspired by the actual Dr. Wu from Fallout 1. Extremely unfriendly and absolutely HATES healing the player, leading to gems like this:

"Incompetent son of a bitch! You need healing AGAIN! I hope they kill you next time!"

"stuffhead! You get hurt again, you stupid bastard!"

"What do you want?! Will you starfishs never learn? I'm tired of using my talents on losers. Shoot straight next time! Don't let them shoot you."

"Fine! It's always patch you up! Fix you up! starfish!"

"You screamed like a woman! Ha ha ha!"

"You loser! Why don't you just crawl out into the Glow and lick puddles? Stupid drunken craving starfish!"

"Ha ha! You really are stupid! I just gave you a lethal poison! Ha ha ha!"

"You screamed like a castrated pig! Ha ha ha!"

"You are an idiot! Quality, not quantity! You think the Nightkin care when they're outnumbered? Go cry to your mother, you little baby! Now, do you want to get better or not?"

"You treat your body like stuff. You must be a real idiot. I could put you out of your misery, or I could fix you up."
