wtf why are you building a skeleton key when you're still having to send rookie medics on covert ops
Sending rookies on Covert Ops has worked well so far, since most of the Extraction missions are "Hack the encoder and get the forget out before EXALT zerg rushes you".
Tentacles, Mutons, and Mechs
Spoiler alert: Everyone gets horribly massacred by a bunch of godamn seekers.
Commanding Officer: Talia. Redshirts attending: 1. God save the Redshirts.
Talia: Standard "Shoot Everything That Moves" mission. Move out.
Sniopeh GoodJob: Does that include you? Just kidding.
Bump Buttinski: Drinks are on me once we get back alive.
Nick Walter: Do you not realize what you just said, Bump?
Bump Buttinski: Huh?
Nick Walter: In the movies, the guy who says that always dies!
Blart "Mall Cop" Launcher: Safety never takes a holiday.
George Bush: THOSE DAMN TERRORISTS WON'T GET AWAY FROM ME NOW.Godamn Terrorist:......................
Talia: Drones spotted. Easy.
>swarming
In other words, the entire alien force at once
Nick Walter: Holy crap, I thought the alien activity was "Swarming"?
George Bush: DO NOT BE FOOLED, BOY! TERROR AWAITS AROUND THE CORNER!Bump Buttinski: Help me, friends! This gun is weak!
Talia: Softening up the target.
Godamn Terrorist: Scratch one more!
Nick Walter: This laser shotgun is weaksauce! What the heck?
George Bush: THE DURABILITY OF THESE "WEAK" DRONES STRETCHES CREDIBILITY.Sniopeh GoodJob: Time to shoot some eyes out!
Blart "Mall Cop" Launcher: Always bet on Blart.
Redshirt 1: Holy crap, I got one? Does this mean I get promoted now? I'm really looking forward to getting promoted and kicking all kinds of ass like you guys are!
Bump Buttinski: You hear that, comrades? Its the sound of MELD!
George Bush: INCOMING MUTONS.Sniopeh GoodJob: BOOM! Right between the eyes!
Talia: Battle Scanner is operational. Muton Berserkers spotted!
Nick Walter: Seekers incoming! Help!
Godamn Terrorist: Theres more.
Blart "Mall Cop" Launcher: Nobody knows this gun better than I do.
Nick Walter: Oh my god! That Berserker can regenerate!
Talia: Mutons present a greater threat than the Seekers.
Nick Walter: They're going to use those tentacles to violate me! Help!
Bump Buttinski: Have no fear! Bump Buttinski is here to prevent loveual assault!
George Bush: I LOVE THE SMELL OF ROASTED ALIEN TERRORISTS IN THE MORNING. LETS HAVE A BBQ.Godamn Terrorist: Good riddance.
Talia: No longer a threat!
Nick Walter: Berserker is down! Now kill the Seekers!
Blart "Mall Cop" Launcher: Can't do that!
Nick Walter: BLAAARRRGH!
Nick Walter: IT BURNS! IT BUUUUUUUUUUUURNS!
Nick Walter: HELP ME GODAM---
Redshirt 1: NO! NOOOOOOOO!
Redshirt 1: Bastards!

Bump Buttinski: The last one is on the roof! I will avenge Nick Walter!
*BAMBAMBAM* *PWYEOOM*Sniopeh GoodJob: That the last of them? Doesn't feel like it. Let's keep searching!
(Holy stuff, its classic X-COM!)
Sniopeh GoodJob: What do we have here?
George Bush: I HEARD SOMETHING OVER HERE. ITS TIME TO KICK THEIR ASSES BACK TO MEXICO.Redshirt 1: Time to say goodbye!
Blart "Mall Cop" Launcher: Here goes!
Blart "Mall Cop" Launcher: Aw.
Bump Buttinski: You son of a bitch!
(This game is a great game, but the Line Of Sight is forgeted up. Neither George Bush nor Bump Buttinski could see this Seeker.)
Blart "Mall Cop" Launcher: Help is on the way!
It seems that the aliens are becoming more resistant to our weaponry. What should have been another easy mission quickly turns fatal. X-COM soldiers are starting to die more and more often, and it is disturbing.
