Operation Falling Sleep: The Death Of Lee Hanson
We can now launch the Alien Base Assault as soon as we build the Skeleton Key!
F3D gets promoted to Officer.
Squad size upgraded!
At this point in the war, the Alien invasion seemed easily twarted. The harsh reality came to us like a hurricane.
A simple alien abduction in France. Standard "shoot everything hostile" mission. Or so we thought....
Capitalist-1(Controlled by Wilson), Rigel Hernandez, Lee Hanson, Redshirt Charlie, Dreams of Cheese, Jack Knife, Bobblehead Bob, Alecto attending.
Wilson: Another godamn walk in the park! Let's do this, gentlemen!
Lee Hanson: I have a bad feeling about this.
Jack Knife: We will be fine. These laser beams can reliably kill Aliens in a few well placed shots like they always do.
Rigel: Its killing time!
Bobblehead Bob: Holy stuff guys, MELD!
Wilson: Hey Rookie, maybe you should charge headfirst into the Meld! You'll be fine!
Lee Hanson: Wilson.....
Wilson: What? Natural Selection is too much for you?
Rigel: Battle Scanner is up. We got Cyberdiscs. We move up on them slowly and---
Wilson: GODAMN! LEFT FLANK AMBUSH!
Lee Hanson: In position!
Jack Knife: You made the wrong mistake coming here, friend.
Dreams of Cheese: TWO cyberdiscs! We're screwed!
Redshirt Charlie: Watch out! The aliens back there are starting to get suspicious!
Lee Hanson: Don't bite off more than we can chew. Keep engaging the ones that have already spotted us.
Dreams of Cheese: Lighting them up like Sputnik.
Wilson: Another dumb bastard bites the dust! You should have ran away from me!
Redshirt Charlie: Repositioning on the Aliens! Cover me!
Rigel: Charlie, the Cyberdiscs are on Overwatch! Don't---
Redshirt Charlie: AAAARGH.
Wilson: Nice knowing you, Redshirt. What an appropriate name.
Redshirt Charlie: That was close! Oh god!
Redshirt Charlie: Retribution!
Jack Knife: Hold still and this will only hurt a little....
Alecto: Boom.
Rigel: Alien life is the very definition of failure.
Bobblehead Bob: Smoke out!
Jack Knife: What is that Cyberdisc even doin---
BOOM
Jack Knife: Sweet Jesus!
Lee Hanson: Watch out! We've been spotted by the second group of Aliens!
Alecto: We're all going to Alien Hell, and I'm the one driving the bus.
Wilson: Dumb Cyberdiscs can't aim for stuff! Ha!
Dreams of Cheese: Time to introduce the big bang!
Lee Hanson: The Drones can repair Cyberdiscs? Thats.... New.
Wilson: Someone move up and take out the Cyberdisc! That thing is going to hit my beloved SHIV by accident!
Dreams of Cheese: OH GOD! THEY SHOT MY EYE OUT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Bobblehead Bob: N-NO! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!
Redshirt Charlie: Ow! That vehicle just exploded for no godamn reason on us!
Wilson: Ammo dry! WELP!
Rigel: One down!
Jack Knife: Kill the Drones before they can repair!
Alecto: No retreat, no surrender! PSI INSPIRATION!
Bobblehead Bob: I.... I MISSED! I FAILED!
Wilson: Don't shoot my baby, you damn abomination! Shoot the others instead!
Jack Knife: Ammo low! Pistols worthless! The tide turns against our favor!
Redshirt Charlie: The drone is using the Cyberdisc as a meatshield!
Wilson: Suppressive fire! You won't hurt my beloved SHIV ever again!
Alecto: Ammo dry. Can't engage!
Rigel: Double tap..... Triple tap..... Keep on TAPPING!
Lee Hanson: Everyone alright? That the last of them?
Wilson: Seems like it, yeah.
Redshirt Charlie: Area clear. I think.
Bobblehead Bob: But we didn't sweep the other side of the street!
Lee Hanson: Everyone take a moment to reload first. Move up!
Rigel: One last group left?
Rigel: Mechtoids. I hate Mechtoids.
Alecto: Taking the shot!
Alecto: One less mind merging bastard to deal with!
Bobblehead Bob: Overwatch fire! Help me!
Wilson: These Mechtoids can barely aim for stuff. Let's get this over with!
Jack Knife: The Doctor is in. Let me patch you up.
Lee Hanson: Taking fire! Oh dear---
Rigel: Lee Hanson! NO!
Alecto: Good lord! You fornicating sons of bitches will pay for that!
Wilson: Poor bastard! The one time the Mechtoids actually hit something, it just had to be Mr. Fastball Special?
Dreams of Cheese: This is going to hell in a handbasket real fast!
Jack Knife: Theres nothing I can do to save him. He's dead on the spot!
Bobblehead Bob: E-EVAC! WE NEED AN EVAC! NOW, DAMN IT, NOW!
Redshirt Charlie: I think I'm going to be sick!
Redshirt Charlie: Moving up on the Mechtoid! We'll avenge Lee!
Wilson: Keeping it pinned down! Move up!
Bobblehead Bob: I have the higher ground! Preparing to fire on the Mechtoi---
Bobblehead Bob: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Redshirt Charlie: Fire in the hole!
Redshirt Charlie: Its raining death over here!
Rigel: Moving at the speed of DEATH!
Rigel: Any last words?
*PCHEWM*
Everyone except Wilson is in shock over the loss of Lee Hanson. His skills in lobbing explosives will be missed, and his next of kin will have to be informed. As soon as Dr. Shen builds the Skeleton Key, we'll be able to repay these bastards in kind by assaulting their base.
Next Update: Hopefully assaulting the Alien Base, probably.
Things X-COM Operatives Are Not Allowed To Do144. Psi Operatives are not to refer to their Psi Inspiration ability as ‘the care bear stare’.
144a. Neither are operatives to refer to the Psi Panic ability as ‘the care bear glare’.
144b. Not allowed to use Telekinetic Field during snowball fights. That’s cheating.
