Research:

>Alien Materials [Requires 10 Sci,10 Eng 100 Alien/Advent weapon fragment, 100 Alloy, 100 Elirium, 2 Mil, 1 Month] Our understandings of these alien materials were lost twenty years ago, to fully uncover their potential, we need to thoroughly research them, commander.

>Advent weapon fragments II [10 SCI, 10 ENG, 150 Advent weapon fragment, 1 Mil 2 weeks] Commander, we believe we can take a step forward, we can assemble these fragments to create weapons of our own. we will still use conventional ammo but its efficiency is ten folds better than our current arsenal

>Advent PSI Captain Autopsy II [30 SCI, 3 PSI Corpses,2 Mil, 6 days] There are more secrets to be uncovered with this specimen commander. We must win this race at any costs.

>Advent Shield [20 Sci, 20 ENG, 20 Shield Shard 2 MIL, 2 weeks] Commander, While we can't make shields of our own, we can incorporate these shards into our scatter grenades. they will prove to be deadly to both light and heavy armored troops

>Advent Armour II [Requires 20 SCI, 20 Damaged Advent armour, 20 ENG, 3 MIL, 2 Weeks] Commander, Our breakthrough can be ever better with Moddable Armour. This opens a new route for protecting our soldiers

>Project MELD [1000 MELD, 100 SCI, 100 ENG, 10 MIL, 1 Month] With the recent autopsy of the grunt soldier, We discover that they have been heavily altered with MELD. Should we finish this project, we can genetically modify our soldiers.

>Psi Advent Armour [20 SCI, 20 ENG, 5 MIL, 1 PSI Advent armour, 5 days]: This suit is a marvel of science commander. I think...I think it was keeping the subject alive with its various life support modules.

>Inject Soliders with Z0-1 Serum? (10k+ per soldier)

>Psi shield? [80k per soldier, negate panic attacks, equip-able]

Workshop:

>Arm Skyranger [10 Engi, 300k, 5 LMG, 2 Rocket launcher, 1 week] i think i can rig the skyranger, commander. It is not an ideal answer but it is better than leaving big sky defenseless. Plus, our boys can use some help from the skies if things got too rough

>Build a training school [Requires at least 5 trained tactician OR 5 Simulation programs, 5 power 10 Engi, 1 Mil, 2 weeks] Let's face it commander, most of our men aren't even solider. They lack proper training. we could decrease our casualties by having more trained soldiers

>Damaged Advent Advanced processing unit [10 ENG, 750K, 1 Week] It might look like a burnt crisp but i have a supercomputer within my grasp, a crispy one...but we will get over it. Nothing has been fully fried.

>U.A.R Chip [500k, 10 ENG, 1 turret wreck]: for better targetting and/or automated Shiv/Raven/Skyranger

>Build containment Facility [20 ENGI, 2 MIL, 2 Weeks, 5 Power] This facility will keep Ishmael's pet subjects at bay. Be it Psi shit or Brute force, nothing is coming out of my cage, commander.

>New Aircraft? [2 MIL, 20 ENG, 2 weeks 200 Plane parts] Our boys can do wonders, commander. Bring us more plane parts and we will glue it together. Not as sufficient as our Ravens or our Skyrangers but i will do.


>Build gene labs [2 MIL, 50 ENGI, 1 week] I don't like tampering with our soldiers commander but we can build this facility designated with toying with god's creation.
>Process (So far)
1 Damaged Advent armour= 20 Alien Alloy
1 Undamaged Advent armour= 50 Alien Alloy
1 Mech Wreck=100 Alloy
1 Turret wreck= 75 Alloy
20 Alloy fragment= 10 Alloy

>Mod weapons with fragments? (50k+ 50 Fragment per weapon)
>Mod Body armour with Alloys? (50k+ 50 Alloy per Body Armour)
>Advent Armour [100k, 2 damaged Advent armour or 200 Alloy per soldier]

So how do we lower heat? Or we don't?

[5 days has passed, Advent forces seems to hold little intrest in the radar installation in Britain.

"Commander, we have a encrypted message from the council. displaying it in 3...2...1.."

"Hello commander, your actions against the advent forces have been commendable, however, we expect...less civilian casualties; our image has been already tainted by the Advent.


We will be in touch commander."

[Cont.]

>>44729471
we can't, eventually we will be discovered unless we develop more technology that is sufficient to hide our base.

You were approached by your chief of security, he didn't look like he wanted to do the talking in the first place "Commander, Sending the same team every time will have consequences on our soldiers. We need more recruits...."

"Commander, we have multiple targets across the globe. A small scavenging has been dispatched in Argentina to gather multiple alien artifacts. Another waterplant is being targeted by advent forces in china. Finally, A large containment facility has been discovered.we don't know who iis inside but i bet they will be grateful for our assistance.

>China [High]

The flight to Spain wasn't easy; lots of turbulence in the air but Big Sky.

The facility was in a deserted area. You were surprised to find out so few of them upon landing "Central, this is strike team. Our intel report is confirmed to be false. There are a couple of advent soldiers, a captain and two turrets ....requesting an update on the status on the mission."

"Our intel have been wrong once. Maybe they relocated their soldiers into something else since more of these facilities are automated."


"...or this could be a trap." replied Robert, "Commander, I suggest pulling out our soldiers immediately from this site."

"Alright Central we are bugging out."

Your mind was invaded by another mysterious message "A valuable assets awaits...The weak shall consume her. Act! Act!" your nose bled afterwards.

"Brandon, are you okay?" Ann checked you out.

>I am fine
>We should return back, something is waiting for us on the other side

>>44730191
We need to head back and hit them hard

>>44730123
some of them, the Melee/Gulping ones. Regular ones are like in XCOM 2 (plasma rifle/wrap/drag you out of cover/spit/non cloaky

>>44730191
>We should return back, something is waiting for us on the other side
if we can get a psionic this early, that could help us with the Aegis, we have to act!

for the turrets, use a smoke grenade to mess with their targeting

for the soldiers, spread the formations and don't let them run

Rolled 39 (1d100)

>>44730680
cones are turrets correct? Toss a frag grenade to hit both turrets if possible other wise take out the one firing at us. Everyone takes precise shots from sturdy cover while mopping up the rest

Brandon and Farouk drop smoke to provide cover for our team. Malik and Oleg, take out the turrets.

you and your squad finished off the remaining forces with no scratch. It was done by the numbers.

Once you opened the main door to the facility, you found the main hallway littered with advent soldier. A new smell slithered into your nostril.

Burnt flesh and Plasma.

Soon, you found yourself coiled around the tight embrace of a viper. This one was like the others on the Aegis but with a slick bladed weapon on her right arm. Your squad met the same fate. None had any time to react to these cunning , cloaking enemies.

The grasp wasn't meant to crush your ribs, it was more of a restraint, you couldn't move a muscle.

A scrawny figure slowly walked from the chaos inside of the facility towards you. The description matches, thin figure, blue elegant suit, small black eyeglasses several spots on the forehead and neck...

A thin man.

He slowly approach you, his bony fingers kept clicking on his throat as if he was adjusting something "Ah. The Beacon arrives. This will make my job, much, much easier."

"One of a kind. Names won't matter, beacon."

"Why did you kill your own men?"

"So we can meet without any third party. I am going to be honest with you. There is a small...problem brewing. Someone valuable to us went rouge. There are different opinions about him, conflicting ones. I am here from one of the sides of this argument. We can offer you a deal, Beacon." He almost hissed.

Your wiggling was met with a stronger constraint "Please, do not do that. it is already hard to restrain these primitive beings."

Beacon? Why did you dub me that all of sudden?

>>44731278
>>44731296
"Good, you may find this hard to believe but i hate violence; it is unproductive. If it were by me, we would have come in peace ,offered advanced technology for your obedience."

The Thin man paused for a second "Now, this rouge of ours have only contacted you since its disappearance. So here is how it goes, your team will rescue about 75 personnel in this base, half of your team will lead them to a small cargo 10km away from here, it is modified so it won't be detected back to wherever your base is....but in return you will come with us with your consent. To put things into perspective, our rouge is our number one priority then those Exalt...then you. We can crush you at any moment. Consider the personnel, the plane and the goods inside it a present so you can step up your game...."

>>44731447
Wait, so the boat ones went rogue, or are thoses the boat ones?

>>44731789
"A valuable assets awaits...The weak shall consume her. Act! Act!"
Is one of them female?

>>44731789
Let's ask what will happen of him before accepting anything

>>44731724
>>44731768
"None of your concern, Beacon and thank you for correcting me. Your languages has lots of variables."

"I...accept your offer." you replied. You somehow trusted his words. Your life is nothing compared to the lives trapped in this facility.


"Brandon, what are you doing?! they are going to kill you!" Ann was visibly crying while trying to break free. The viper dangerously coiled her slimy tongue over her head, its jaw was wide open.

"NO! we respect our part of the deal." The thin man hissed making the viper retract her jaw and tongue.

>>44731922
>>[say something to Ann?]
You're in charge while I'm..negotiating with our host, make sure we get everything that could help us, that means corpses, fragment, research notes/hard disks/flash drives/medkits and whatever that isn't bolted down. Request the aid of our "allies" that will certainly make sure we have everthing we need out of this base in the fastest amount of time.
Time to loot

>>44732016

>>44732064
Ann couldn't hold her tears, she nodded in defeat after hearing you out. Oleg was barely able to contain himself. He probably what them the most in the squad.

"How touching, this...sympathy will always be the downfall of your kind."

"so, can you promise her that you won't execute or mindfuck me once our mission is over?"

"Are you implying that this will be a two-way trip? We can't have a lingering evidence breathing after locating the rou-rogue. It will cause a lot of problems. I though you understood how this works, Beacon."

"What about your supposed 'hate' of violence?"

>>44732150

"evidence of what? you heroically stopping a rogue? aliens fighting aliens? it's none of our issues. And why do you keep calling me Beacon?"

>>44732280
It's most likely because we're the only one that know where they are

"Pathetic! Pathetic!" Another message bombarded your head. All the vipers loosened their grip and focused their attention on the thin man.

"I knew this might have happened...." The thin lept like a frog from one side of the facility to another dodge the bullets with great agility, his voice was enraged "We will meet again, Beacon! I won't be so merciful next time."

Everyone took their breath, afterwards. Not a second later, A distant explosion was heard away from here. The bastard have rigged the plane from the start. Clever.

The Vipers soon went back to cloaking disappearing from site "I won't aid you next time. Weak! Pathetic!" This might sound strange but, you felt less pain with each message.

>Stabilize Test Subject W-R6 [2 MIL, 30 SCI, 1 week ,==IMPORTANT==] Commander, this poor woman seem to possess some sort of psionic energy, every orifice of her was closed by means unknown to us. It is unclear how but I suspect all the Psi captains we have fought are based on her. She NEEDS to be stabilized this instant.
Obvious choice

And have the workshop build the containment facility.
Fucking Bradford, you're the only fucker left of the original crew you should know the specs for the arc thrower

Ehud Tenenbaum, Israeli nationality. Caucasian. Minimal arms training but very skilled hacker. Can remotely hack or disturb electronics in the field and/or pilot a drone. Flamboyant. Still in trial period before his class is determined.

Dembe Zuma. Black skin, South Sudan nationality. Missing an eye. Caught killing Advent after his family was put down. Silent, angry type. Has a thing for close combat to "get the most satisfaction".

Arnold Schwarzenegger. Deranged former actor. Austrian nationality. Gray hair, old, but very well fit. Talks about the old days and compares things all the time to personal experience in his movies. Tends to humanize and form a relationship with his weapon, like a car. Likes explosions.

[ELR-GEN is now queued for research]

We calculated how long One would be shutdown in the last thread. Even I the players forget, Robert or Bradford should remind them.
Unless you wanted to increase the difficulty like you said last thread, and make the players have to handle more things instead of handholding them.

Robert connect you to this client. The person from the other side seems like she/he was used a very strange voice changing module.


"I need corpses. Lots of corpses. Drop them in 81.46157253 LAN -75.67177419 MAG and you will receive some cash. Don't call back." just like that, he transmission has ended.

It was for 3 months, so a lot

>>44733012
Rogue is also super-pissed at us for needing its help on something it considered an easy job.
Also for even thinking the rest of the Hivemind wouldn't try to fuck XCOM over at every chance.

>Ask for advice from Ishmael, Bradford, Robert about selling Advent corpses
We already researched, can they be used in other projects or should we try to make money off of them?

>>44733943
where in Asia?

>>44733943
Are we going to sell the corpses or not?
Seems really irresponsible to contact a client an then ignore their request, as well as not asking our Head of Research if selling the bodies would hinder any future projects.

>>44734037
there seems to be a lot going on in China, we should send one here

>>44734037
Best Korea, Japan, Vietnam or even India. I fear setting up shop in China would be too dangerous atm

[7 Days has passed, the subject has been stabilized]

"Commander, now the subject has been stabilized, we can perform...research on her. She is alive but devoid of all senses. She is as numb as a dead corpse. What i am asking you commander is to give me full liberty to uncover the secrets inside this powerful weapon..."

>"you sure she can't feel pain?"

>>44734397

Can't we attempt to wake her up instead?

Are you sure she cannot feel anything?
We magical relm now?

>>44734474
"She is awaken but she was robbed of this privilege, commander, long ago. she can't feel or sense anything. I will do my best....also, her stabilization is expensive, from the next month, I expect another Million to keep her alive."

Project P.S.I is now available

Project P.S.I [100 SCI, 100 MIL, 3 Month] I believe we can use our subject here as a live weapon. We can focus her psionic energy on our enemies in the field, the potentials are endless.
New Project is available

P.S.I Isthmus [100 ENG, 100 MIL, 3 Months] "I don't like this, commander. What differentiate US from them? It is all the same...."

maybe we should invest in thermal vision googles, could help us spot the lizards, maybe...

>>44734565
>every orifice of her was closed by means unknown to us

kinda reminds me of elfen lied for some reason...

>>44734741
We might find them in a future raid or something similar

>>44734764
not really.


is there even a fetish for something like that?

>>44734669
>Wait for certain opportunities around the globe

>>44734921
everything can be a fetish if you dig hard enough, even floor tiles

>>44734941
do you have the floor tile fetish guy screencap? I didn't save it

>>44734921
Is the 1MIL to keep her alive a monthly expense?
Maybe we should research the PSI Armor and its life support modules to make keeping the subject alive cheaper.

>>44734979
i didn't either, but i'm sure it'll be easy to find

>>44734941
"Commander, we have several chances to strike across the globe....Advent has recently acquired a small plantation, it sounds too fishy for me.In the western desert, there has been reports of strange activities in night time. Australia has another statue ready to be erected in a major populated city."

Let's use this opportunity to give the oldest soldiers a break and use B Team and rookies.

Will there be a morale loss if the A Team has to lend their equipment to B Team?

>>44735145

hm, either these crops are useful to them somehow, or this is just a covert for someting else
maybe we should bring a scientist and/or engineer

>>44735270
nope. they will be fine, resources are scarce.
>>44735281
this is a nice idea. i think we should.
that will conclude our thread, thank you for participating

>>44735339
thanks for running

>>44735270
Seconding

With Advent rolling out new weapons and armor, we really need to research better weapons and body armor.
Big projects that advance the war are no good if the soldiers we send in can't hurt the enemy or are cut down before they can use new abilities.

>>44735358
no problem anon.
>>44735481
we are lagging behind in research.

-Alien Material must be unlocked soon enough.
-Advent weapons II will make us create our own weapons (laser, so they are shitty against Advent , HOWEVER, sectoids/Berserkers/Snek/others are juicy targets for it)
-Advanced weapons =/= superior ones, some are better for certain foes like a mentioned above.


It doesn't hurt to have these projects anon

>>44735599
Lets start up alien materials asap

>>44735672
We're meeting more than just Advent, we need weapons that will be good against alien targets now.
On top of that we need better armor and medkits, likely from Advent Armor II and Psi Advent Armor.
Our soldiers will be highly vulnerable if we don't research better equipment.

>>44735672
>wants to research alien alloys
>ignores that we need weapons that can take down Berserkers

>>44735599
Didn't Advent equip all their soldiers with some new energy weapon?
Does this weapon make the Modded Body Armor no longer effective?
