Shows how far she's come in terms of romance :) And that's why I've never put a treadmill on any setting resembling high, I know my luck :p

// MAIL CALL // Benjamin Ceymotch XCOM Headquarters Siberia, Russian Federation 2:42 PM Ben walked down the halls with a wide smile on his face, ignoring the squeaky rotating wheels of his cart as he moved through the barracks. It was about time XCOM actually gave him a cart, so he didn’t have...

Calm before the storm? :3

Emily gets an assignment to turn their mopey prisoner into a productive member of the containment facility. Definitely a must-see interaction, a lot of undertones lying in wait. Except for Gem. You should just keep waving your tomahawks, because we need that guy to balance out.

The Depth of an Enemy: Part Two Avaritia looked down at Emily. You are very kind. Far kinder than most I have met, though I suppose it helps that we didn’t meet under the… unusual circumstances that brought you and my associate together. Can I… can I ask you for something simple. “I could hear...

Complexity :D And for the record, Mira isn't becoming a character, she's just going to be thrown into some dark oubliette somewhere and forgotten about.

Well, when we started, we had 0. Then we got Death, which makes it 1. Then Luxuria started coming around, which makes it 2. So, yeah, growing. :D

The Uber agrees with Superbia, which means he's on the wrong side of the growing schism.

I actually thought Desmond was going to kill her (both times), but he went another direction, and I certainly wasn't going to execute her with Emily while she was in his grasp :p I always appreciate a surprise decision like that, though.

And so ends the extraction, and a chain I've been long anticipating. :) Hope everyone enjoyed, and big thanks to Marine for working with me to finish this mission.

Operation Counter Strike, Part 3 – Alpha Team Dallas grumbled with irritation, moving back towards the open door. As he stepped near it, a new burst of Gauss shots fired at him, causing him to jump back. “God damn, I wish they’d stop doing that! There’s someone down the hall, only one guy this...

Operation Counter Strike, Part 2 – Alpha Team Dallas gave the signal as the last of his team jumped out. The Skyranger began hovering and slowly ascended up the building, carrying Desmond and his squad for the roof. He looked over his troops on the steps of Black Void headquarters, giving an...

Operation Counter Strike, Part 1 – Covert Team Emily wiped her eyes, over an hour of standing and training her rifle already getting tiring. She was also tired of re-adjusting her shirt to cover her nose, the smell of the chemicals on the floor getting irritating every time she smelled it. “I...

Operation Counter Strike, Prelude This is a collaboration between MarineAvenger and Adrammalech. London, England October 13, 2018 - 12:15 PM Mira smiled as she locked down the PA button again. “I don’t care how long you stay down there. Soon you’ll be hungry and tired, and the second you blink...

I think Bobby's too young and Johnny's gene mods get in the way. Mariya definitely has one though. Also, the Mira section is quite pertinent after your post :p well done guys, especially that ending.

Since I'm surprised people didn't guess my theme, everything in Black Void is an evil counterpart to XCOM. I wrote the framework for some of these scenes very early and with EXALT instead of BV (before Atka's covert op), which is why some of the references are ancient. Not everything lines up...

Indeed. Predators are predators.

Closed space + testosterone-rich environment + self-serving soldiers of fortune + people directly telling them not to do something

You're really hung up on that. (which is especially hilarious given my actual theme)
