Interesting. One question though, did this recieve the GM's blessing? I loved it, I just want to make sure it isn't contradicting anything. (Balmadaar elite...mmm...juicy.)

Yes, this received Zombie's permission. I figure anything to do with the aliens would require their blessing.

New name for Muton's was from Gemini. You can call them Muton's, that'll be their offical title in the X-COM books, but I feel a personal name from the species itself gives a little more life to the universe.

And Pixy's piece from the alien perspective was approved by the zombers. Something that reminded me of season 2.

And I'm hoping to keep soldier casualties to a minimum during the base defense. This is gonna sound really cold, but I was hoping the security staff would act as meat shields.

And don't look at me like that! Don't pretend you never purposely sacrificed a few of them to force the game to send in one of your soldiers!

If the soldiers are red-shirts, think of security as... extra red red-shirts. Blood red, even.

Cold...Funny, but cold...

Well maybe if the security were even half as well-equipped as the XCOM troopers, we wouldn't need so many casualties.

Any potential for crossfire among the refugees?

Oh, I slaughtered them all in vanilla. Though since you get them in Long War as soldiers should they survive, I tried to save them in LW. Managed to keep two alive, and they rose to become badasses in baseball caps.

An eight-man league? Weak.
Would you like to go up against an eight-man league? My Pidgeot is good, but even he has his limits.

I forgot to mention this yesterday, thank you Pixy. My life is now complete.

Update. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we're now down to 8 members. Prisma, Zain Shah (Until further notice), and Euan (Due to time constraints for the foreseeable future) are no longer with us. Myself, Zombie, Marine, Frost, Adramma, Pixy, Taxor, and Dahl are who we have left.

Now, this makes me need to ask something. You all have time for this, right? We're not going to lose anyone else easily, are we?

I just...I'm a bit worried now. I'm trying to get us a new member to lighten up the losses we're taking, but I can't guarantee anything. I just would hate to see this die off. I don't think it will, I think the rest of us are very active for the most part, I'm just checking to make sure it will stay that way.
I might go silent for a few days every so often, but I will always return. No danger of me leaving.
... unless I contract a life-threatening disease or something, anyway...

Also, that Beagle is adorable. Just you wait until he grows up though. Pain in the butt. (looks outside) Yeah, I'm talking about you!

Speaking of going silent for a bit, this is one of those times. Any plans I had for today have been overturned (sorry Gemini), I'll be back later, tomorrow, or the next day.
