Okay, a thing or two to note: 1) The Avenger Main Database in my signature lists all of XCOM's staff. 2) All of them. We don't have any security guards because A. soldiers perform that role and B. we can't afford to waste able-bodied fighters from a limited supply on watchdog duty.

Never Flee They did not leave the surgery tables, it seemed. For although being shackled down to a cold, metallic bed that aided the aliens in their unspeakable experiments was a horrible fate, being removed meant something worse. It meant you were useless to them. It meant that you would...

X-COM: A Story of Despair Chapter 3: Shattering Charge Part 7 X-COM Headquarters May 15th, 2018 2030 Hours The Skyranger returned to the hanger, accompanied by two other dropships. One of them contained only four of the six soldiers that went to France. The other one was empty, all forces from...

Part 3 of "XCOM: A Story of Despair" coming at ya. Then it's just part 4, and the events of the Dark Years that follow. Enjoy. To be perfectly honest, I'd vehemently insist you read all of 'Story of Despair' as it sets really good groundwork for the character of this world's Atka Ipiktok and is...
