"All right men! We are going in with the first wave! We will kill anything not of this Earth! Do you get me!?"

Uh-oh! Robo was erm...accidentially injured with a megapol ap grenade. :D I swear there was a brainsucker on his head!

LOL.

However, maby you'll get to redeem yourself Robo.

"This is Robo. I've spotted two blue bugs, over."

Robo: "Sir, looks like they are launching grenades!"
Facehugger: "Duck and cover!"
*5 seconds later*
Facehugger: "Where's the explosion?"
Suddenly a lightning quick brainsucker leapt from the pod's remains. Straight onto Facehugger's head!
Facehugger: "Get it off me! Get it off me!"

Whitewashed: "Don't worry sir, I'll handle him!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Brainsucker is still on Facehugger's head
Facehugger: <Facehugger is starting to make choking noises>

Robo: "Eat this!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Brainsucker falls off and is turned into a peice of brainsucker brand swiss cheese.
Facehugger: "Look out, there are more of the sneaky little buggers!" Edited by Cpl. Facehugger

Facehugger: "Not again!"
Robo: "I've got him sir!"
Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang. Brainsucker is still on Facehugger's head.
Facehugger: "Hit the alien not me!"
Facehugger: "What the heck is happening to me!? Arrgh!"
The brainsucker fell off of Facehugger's head.
Robo: "Are you alright sir!?"
Facehugger: "I feel weird..." Edited by Cpl. Facehugger

Facehugger: "Eat this you brainsucking alien B@stards!" <Facehugger switched to his HE clip>

Facehugger: "Die! Die! Die!"

First one, then two, then three anthropods fell before the high explosive onslaught.

Robo: "Look out behind you!"
Yet another brainsucker was making its way to Facehugger's head.
Whitewashed: "Die!"
Pow! Pow! Pow!
Brainsucker is turned into brainsucker souflee by Whitewashed's pistol.

I wonder how I got hurt... AP grenades just don't fall from the sky... they do fall from allies, though... :sly:

You had bad luck NKF, you weren't in the same group with facehugger and facehuggers group is the one which goes to action. Other groups just "secure the area" :D

I would have recommended both squads run the same way, then have squad 1 hang back and let squad 2 brave the open space and leg it to the other side near the scaffolding. That way you could've approached the courtyard from two directions at once.

Mind you, I'm not really disappointed. This is the first mission, after all, and any fancy legwork we'd have performed would've just been for nought. ;)

Though I'm rather curious -- how did I get injured?

NKF, you weren't injured. That was Robo. I...I mean the aliens tossed an AP grenade on him...

Robo just happened to get the same face you did. :)

As to why the squads split up...I haven't played that map in a while, so I was concerned that the aliens might try to flank me.

Next mission will come sometime today (I hope. It depends on if the aliens are willing to show. Or...I could have fun with the cult for awhile...Ahh the possibilities that Apoc offers. :D)

You could do a few stun-grapple raids*. You won't really have to post them, since nothing interesting happens in them. Except for a little friendly fire. :rolleyes:

--Edit: *Stun raid- raid a friendly/allied organization. Only use stun grapples. They won't shoot at you, and they don't get angry because you didn't kill anyone.-- Edited by Robo Dojo 58

Ah, so it was just a bit of over excitement. Nothing to worry about then. I just assumed that first screenshot is depicting where our units began at the start of the mission. That mysterious health loss is what was bugging me.

As for stun raids: I don't condone them, but I'm not going to complain if it means early access to plasma pistols and the swords (swords are rare, even when they do come on the market). :)

Seriously though, it's ultimately up to our game master to decide on that one.

Heh. I'll only stunraid if we really need cash and score pronto.

As for the mysterious health loss...I err...I mean an AP grenade fell from the sky and hit robo. Yeah...That's it. :D

Wait a second...I think I got your portrait wrong, NKF. I'll rename the next droid of that type to NKF to appease you. :D

Jenny: "Sir! I've see an alien! Looks like some type of snake! Oh, I'm so scared! Hold me J'ordos!"

J'ordos: "Huh?"

Jenny: "Nothing I didn't say anything. *To self: I've always had a deathly fear of snakes...*"

Jenny took aim with her highly accurate laser sniper rifle.

Zap! Zap! Zap!
The snake (hyperworm) advances...
Jenny: *To self: Oh god...It's getting closer. I've got to hit it now!*
Zap! Zap! Zap!
Suddenly the hyperworm was within range of J'ordos...
It coiled itself up like a snake and propelled itself upward, aiming straight for J'ordos' jugular, Teeth knashing as it neared closer and closer to J'ordos anticipating an easy meal.

Jordos: <J'ordos spoke a curse in his native language before recovering his composure and sending an autocannon AP shell through the creature's body.>

Interesting story, alas there's one error to be found: there's no such thing as native Belgian language :D

Facehugger: "Two of those blue things? What the heck are they going to do? Hump my leg?"

Robo: "He's makin a run right for us!"
Facehugger: "Take it down!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
popper advances, smoke trailing in his wake
Bang! Popper is hit. Popper explodes, severely wounding squad 1.
Facehugger: Aww crap. I can see my intestines...Squad 1, retreat...

Squad 1 got away, leaving Jenny's squad to do the dirty work. Jenny didn't mind, after all, she still had J'ordos on her side. Edited by Cpl. Facehugger

How did the mission end?

You know, it's times like this when a kneeling soldier with dual grapples on full auto can really shine. They can neutralise the poppers very quickly as long as you know they're coming at you. Once they're down, they can be kept unconscious by leaving someone on top of them or you could just kill them from a safe distance.

Or if you have plasma guns (alien disrupters and toxin works too). They can kill off the poppers at decent ranges without detonating them. I believe the same can be extended to the power swords too, but that's cutting it far too close, and the popper would have triggered its detonator before you could get off the first swing. Better leave it for when the popper is stunned by the grapples.

P. S: No, I'm not suggesting this because I'm specialising in these equipment. No, far from it. It just coincides with my equipment choices, is all . ;) Edited by NKF

Heh, de laatste keer da'k ergens "Sapperdepitjes" of "Potvolkoffie" heb zien staan moet zo'n 10 jaar geleden in 'Jommeke' zijn, en ik ken geen engelse krachttermen die ouderwets genoeg zijn om te vertalen :P
"Alien-" zullen ze toch nog snappen ;)
"Probeer DEZE fusée maar te verteren, slijmerige snoodaard!" :wink:

So, when's the next mission due? If no aliens are available a raid will do fine, if we don't see action soon our skills will deteriorate :o

EDIT: I think Yoni will be able to translate just fine ^_^ Edited by j'ordos

I've found the Mouse accelerator utility (MouseCtl?) was very buggy with X-COM. I would have it crash often, until I got rid of it. I use the alternate approach. I go to the control panel/mouse, and change the mouse speed there.

Have you tried the Disci-plane 2000? It's the most aerodynamic and painful piece of wood to date. Your computer will never disobey you again! :spank:

After using my domination whip (usually only reserved for female Xcom agents, excepting Jenny of course,) I have gotten it to work. Now here come the exploits of a raid on the cult.

And in this mission...
Someone *J'ordos* Will *j'ordos* Die! *J'ordos*!!!

It started normally enough. Squad one, consisting of Facehugger, Robo and Whitewashed moved deeper into the temple while Squad 2 (J'ordos, Jenny and Jonaleth) moved in another direction, hoping to find some cultists to kill.
It was strange, there were no cultists anywhere. Then...Suddenly there were four cultists waiting for squad 1!

The final cultist in that group was killed. Squad two moved up to support squad one. And boy was that support needed. A cultist squad had emerged from the lift that whitewashed was supposed to be guarding. Jonaleth opened fire with his twin stungrapples. However, his target aquisition software has been buggy as of late- he hit J'ordos. J'ordos took the high voltage like a real man, as it caused him to lose all control of his muscles. He fell face first on the ground, completely unconcious. Edited by Cpl. Facehugger

The cultist raised his weapon and fired, a searing beam of energy lancing whitewashed and going straight through his armor.

Whitewashed: <coughs blood> Ohh crap...
The cultist fired again, this time hitting Whitewashed's head, killing him instantly.

Facehugger: Whitewashed? Die you damn cultists!
Bang! Bang! Bang!

Whitewashed's executioner was slain by an explosive shell from Facehugger's autocannon.

Another cultist tried to make a covert approach, only to be gunned down by Robo's machine gun.

There could only be one or two left...Right? WRONG!!! Edited by Cpl. Facehugger

Robo moved up, hunting the final cultists with an ironic religious fervor.

Robo: "I've found them! Requesting suport!"
Facehugger and squad 2 moved up, but they weren't fast enough. The cultists charged at robo.

Robo: "Eat it! Eat it! Ea- <click> Aww crap! The gun is empty!"
Robo was now almost entirely defenseless against the cultists. They got closer and closer, moving in for the kill. "If I go, I'm taking you with me!!!"
Robo primed a stun grenade and dropped it at his feet. The tear gas like cloud rapidly put he and his attackers to sleep. Mission accomplished.

Total casualities: Robo Dojo- Lighltly wounded, will need to spend time in the Base machine shop.
Whitewashed- KIA
J'ordos-Electrically zapped, will need to recuperate from having his muscles over stimulated

Promotions: Robo Dojo, J'ordos, Jenny.

Medals Recieved: J'ordos- Purple Heart, Medal of Valor
Cpl. Facehugger- Legion of honor, Medal of Valor
Jonaleth Irenicus- Friendly Fire badge (pay is docked)
Whitewashed- Purple Heart, Legion of Honor, Medal of Valor, Bronze star, X-com phallus of bravery. (All given to his family.) Edited by Cpl. Facehugger
