Fuckin' hell mate, Elders were just trying to develop a cure for themselves.
I'd do the same if I was in their shoes desu.
We all fucking would.
>implying you wouldn't wipe out a planet of worthless imbeciles to develop a cure for disease that's wiping you, far more developed species, out
Why didnt they just covertly kidnap thousands for genetic experimentation?
when they started losing why not retreat its not like the rebels had the resources to chase you, take millions of the humans and fuck off.

That's exactly what they've been doing
>when they started losing why not retreat its not like the rebels had the resources to chase you, take millions of the humans and fuck off.
It's superaids, you don't know how many more humans you will need, millions might not be enough
reminder humanity > all

>First mission goes off with only one soldier dead, classic difficulty.
>Next 25 or so missions have no issue, except for Elena getting murdered because using the objective with her in stealth both reveals her and ends her turn, getting her tag teamed by MECs.
>Finally reveal the chosen base, go in.
>Fighting a group of Crysalids, situation mostly under control.
>Ranger misses a 96% shot, no biggie, still got tons of other guys.

So I don't get to attempt the chosen's mission again and just have to deal with her bullshit from now on? What did I do to deserve this?
>>389380570
Human conflict has always been Us and Them
There's no greater Them than something that isn't Human
why didn't they just make a deal or whatever. You can't tell me china or other nations wouldn't disappear a bunch of people for space age tech.

Okay, being an advanced alien species does not make you God. It has never made you a god. That's such a lazy story convention.
