Sky Pirates(April Fools Update)
Pirates attending: Rook40, Highway Robbery, Revolver Rookie, Paul "Tank" Sawyer, "Argentina" F3D, Dreams of Cheese
X-COM gets to raid a alien Battleship in mid-flight, and things get.... Interesting.
Rook40: Ahoy there, mateys! We're going to plunder this ship, kill all the deckhands, and make them walk the plank to their doom!
Dreams of Cheese: Yarr, this be a tough one!
Revolver Rookie: Hostiles spotted. Rook40, please drop the "Pirate" act, will you?
Rook40: Begad! What trechery are you suggesting?
F3D: Enemy Landlubber down. Yargh.
Rook40: Handsomely now, Lassies! Destroy th'Conduits!
Revolver Rookie: Central, requesting that Dr. Shen engineer laser weapons that aren't terrible.
Dreams of Cheese: Arrr! This is a tough one!
Rook40: Don't just sit there, Lad! Shoot the lollygagger again!
Rook40: Nice shot, matey!
F3D: Hoist the Jolly Roger! X-COM'll be giving no quarter!
Paul Sawyer: Can you guys drop the bullstuff now?
Rook40: YARRR! KILL THE SCURVY DOGS!
Highway Robbery: Lets do this! Those alien bastards should hurry up so I can kill them all already!
Dreams of Cheese: BLIMEY! Incoming blige-sucking shiphand!
Paul Sawyer: Central, you hearing this? Tell these clowns to drop the Pirate act.
F3D: YARR! Another scurvy dog sent to Davy Jone's Locker!
Highway Robbery: Dumb Chryssalid had the courtesy to stand in the open! These bastards are probably inbred!
Rook40: NAY! Our finest weapons all suck!
F3D: YARR! The Floaters can't shoot for stuff!
F3D: Davy Jones will be meeting you soon!
Dreams of Cheese: Yarrgh! These scurvy dogs will all be walking the plank!
Rook40: And then we loot the booty!
Highway Robbery: How come F3D gets to massacre the aliens and not ME?
Dreams of Cheese: Ahoy there, ye ugly scumsucker!
Rook40: Begad! Nice shot!
Rook40: The rest of the aliens will be walking the plank now!
---7 Minutes Later---
The operation was completed smoothly with no casualties, but it seems 3 of our soldiers were a bit too laid back and not taking it seriously.
Revolver Rookie gained new abilities, and Highway Robbery was promoted to another level of Oficer.
What the forget, Bradford? I'm trying to send a Covert Operative against EXALT and you suddenly chime in with that?
Second Wave Options(This explains the near 100% aim and 100% crit my troops always get in combat)
Things XCOM Operatives Are Not Allowed to Do106. Despite operations which involve boarding enemy ships, hijacking their shipping and supplies, raiding their land bases and in all the above cases making off with everything not nailed down (and then bringing in a recovery team with crowbars and power tools), X-COM is not a piracy operation nor will its operatives act like they’re part of a pirate crew.
106a. This especially applies to anyone caught with the following: flintlock weapons, cutlasses, muzzle loading cannon, parrots, peg legs, hook hands, golden doubloons, pieces of eight, eyepatches not issued by X-COM Medical staff, Jolly Roger flags, tricorn hats and other prohibited pirate paraphernalia.
106b. Even if you don’t look like a pirate, this does not mean that you can act like one.
106c. While clever, the S.H.I.V. unit modified to look like a 1700s muzzle loading cannon will be returned to its original state.
106d. Even if a pirate crew would be better disciplined than the current state of X-COM.
