Don't feel good enough to type up a proper intro. /nurses tea

Very promptly, Seaking's Marine detachment arrives and Tokyo gets its second Laboratory.

geoscape_148.png

ITP: FuckYeaSeaking has a Marine detachment.

geoscape_151.png

Downed small subs just don't give enough to be worth raiding, ya know?

geoscape_152.png

I assign these guys to the Zrbite research that's taking fucking FOREVER. FOR SCIENCE.

geoscape_153.png

geoscape_154.png

Still don't care about downed small subs.

geoscape_155.png

Ooh, a medium!

geoscape_156.png

Ron Paul predicted this. I've started sending the 'Cudas to the last known sub location to see if I can spot them.

I'm still sick and I'M STILL UPDATING! I MUST BE CRAZY!

----------

tactical_330.png

So yeah. We'll open up with Cubbyhole Spiketoid who nobody can shoot because he's too far away.

tactical_331.png

No, I'm serious. Everybody down there at the nose of the Triton was one to five TUs short of being able to cap the dumb bastard.

tactical_332.png

It's alright, though, because it walked RIGHT into Furet's line of fire and died.

tactical_333.png

tactical_334.png

boom, integer.

tactical_335.png

wh-? How many Spiketoids can fit in that little coral formation?

tactical_336.png

tactical_337.png

Seriously, buddy, I'm pretty sure standing on your partner's fresh corpse wasn't the smart idea here.

tactical_338.png

Spiketoids are the new Mutons.

tactical_339.png

If you didn't find it in the above picture, you can see Tarii kill it now!

tactical_340.png

tactical_341.png

tactical_342.png

Tarii and the tank missed? :(

tactical_343.png

Fortunately, he walked out into Tarii's line of fire again anyway. :D

tactical_344.png

tactical_345.png

Tank misses some dude because he can, and finds the USO directly north of me.

tactical_346.png

lol spiketoids forgot how to shoot

tactical_347.png

ow dammit

tactical_348.png

sigh. Why can I never get Eclipse into position to capitalize on shit like this? Coral line-of-sight is utter bullshit.

tactical_349.png

TANK KILL!

tactical_350.png

dammit tank I told you to shoot at the other guy not the first one again

tactical_351.png

Is that bottom one...unarmed?

tactical_352.png

EP: Another spectacular alien miss.

tactical_353.png

I think he's unarmed. Has any unit ever begged to be stunned so hard?

tactical_354.png

Integer picks off his support...

tactical_355.png

...while SirTeabag tosses JB his stun rod.

tactical_356.png

WHAT.

tactical_357.png

It occurs to me: maybe this guy seems unarmed because he has only grenades? er...

tactical_358.png

Take a freakin' energy drink with you next time.

tactical_359.png

I suddenly realize I need to turn Eclipse around because she's liable to take a reaction shot at the unarmed dude.

With her 'pedo launcher.

With JB right next to it.

tactical_360.png

AHA! Energy lasted JUST BARELY long enough.

tactical_362.png

FFFFUUUUUUU

tactical_363.png

IT'S NEXT TURN! AHA! We need to celebrate this stunning; it's been too long in the making.

tactical_364.png

tuuurn around

tactical_365.png

and a once a to the left

tactical_366.png

and a once a to the right

tactical_367.png

step out

tactical_368.png

step around

tactical_369.png

step back in again!

tactical_370.png

Okay, enough shenanigans.

MEANWHILE, back at the USO:

tactical_372.png

Furetchen MISSES.

tactical_373.png

and Integer bails his sorry ass out.

tactical_374.png

AH WHAT THE FUCK why is there always somebody there?

tactical_375.png

pew

tactical_376.png

tactical_377.png

hey, we get to see up them stairs. Am I smelling a grenade?

tactical_378.png

Thank you, Tarii.

tactical_379.png

what?

tactical_380.png

wh-

whaaat?

Once more, with GUSTO!

tactical_381.png

what the fuck?

I tested with saves, and Integer can definitely just shoot them. WHY CAN'T HE THROW THERE?

tactical_382.png

And then he MISSES? Really? Hey, Integer, fuck you.

tactical_383.png

thanks tarii for bailing him out

tactical_384.png

tactical_385.png

When did Furetchen forget how not to suck?

tactical_386.png

Run away, end turn, run back, OH HI

tactical_387.png

surprisetarii

tactical_388.png

and Furetchen finishes it.

----------

geoscape_161.png

shit wasn't good.

THAT WAS AWESOME.

geoscape_162.png

I add this shot to show you all that we COULD go raid USO-12, but WE ACTUALLY CAN'T 95% FUEL.

So I'm diving straight into this without an introduction because it's six pictures and I'm doing the TACTICAL now.

geoscape_164.png

So yeah. DUN DUN

geoscape_165.png

aw, c'mon 'cuda.

geoscape_166.png

oh ffs --

geoscape_167.png

What the shit 12's still there?

So we start the proper update with two Spiketoids with their backs to us. Delicious.

tactical_390.png

tactical_391.png

GLORY

tactical_392.png

Unfortunately Fiona's in the back of the sub so I can't have Fiona and Gaggles get the first two kills.

tactical_393.png

So I am forced to descend into a cliche.

tactical_394.png

Apparently I forgot to give JB his sonic-blasta. Oh well. Wonder who got one instead?

tactical_395.png

tactical_396.png

Me leaning on Furetchen? How very predictable.

tactical_397.png

Enemy spotted!

tactical_398.png

whoa holy shit Eclipse isn't slowed by the launcher anymore.

tactical_399.png

tactical_400.png

ssssssGSSHGASDHGAHDG

tactical_401.png

tactical_402.png

Integer's turn to shine. Apparently he got the extra Blasta.

NOTHING HAPPENS FOR A VERY LONG TIME. LIKE, EIGHT TURNS LONG

tactical_403.png

yuss found the uso

tactical_404.png

I really only did this for the novelty. I've never put the tank into a USO.

tactical_405.png

Furetchen breaches the stairs and passes out.

wat

tactical_406.png

Unfortunately Integer doesn't have the TUs to finish him. YOUR TIME WILL COME

tactical_407.png

TURN CHANGES AND nothing.

tactical_408.png

tactical_409.png

AHA HELLO

tactical_410.png

tactical_411.png

AHA HELLO

tactical_412.png

tactical_413.png

OH SHIT HI

They REALLY like to camp doors.

tactical_414.png

tactical_415.png

More of the same tbh.

tactical_416.png

tactical_417.png

SHIT

ABOUT FACE, ENSIGN

tactical_418.png

Oblivious Spiketoids walk across the room and don't even see Lightning.

tactical_419.png

...

Well at least the one who DID see him had a stun launcher?

tactical_420.png

What's that you say? GRENADE TIME?

OH FUCK THIS. /reloads save

tactical_422.png

whoa. deja vu.

tactical_423.png

One kill, one miss.

tactical_424.png

and the next turn he's STILL oblivious.

tactical_425.png

HE PAYS FOR HIS HUBRIS

tactical_426.png

HA HA HA RUN FROM INTEGER. RUNNNN

tactical_427.png

wh

oh come the fuck on.

tactical_428.png

TIME TO SEND IN THE BACKUP.

tactical_429.png

tactical_430.png

Evidently Eclipse breaching with a dart gun is a very scary thought.

tactical_431.png

Integer recovers his wits and I can't find his gun, so I take Furetchen's.

tactical_432.png

The single square immediately outside the back-right door is where everybody died.

tactical_433.png

oh ffs integer learn to deal with mind control

tactical_434.png

Eclipse still has 100 Morale after three panic attempts. She must have some phenomenal psi-defense...

tactical_435.png

tactical_436.png

OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT

NOTHING HAPPENS FOR ABOUT ANOTHER EIGHT TURNS EXCEPT SOMEBODY TRIES TO MIND CONTROL INTEGER REPEATEDLY

tactical_437.png

hunting hiiiiiiigh and looow~~

tactical_438.png

AHA! Dart gun!

tactical_439.png

and chase, and DART GUN! Eclipse did such pathetic damage that she only stunned it. Score.

GEOSCAPE updates make me happy because they make us better as a team.

----------

geoscape_170.png

This literally appeared real-life SECONDS after I loaded the save. Seaking can have a 'cuda now, except they don't have any general stores in which to store torpedoes.

geoscape_171.png

Well speak of the devil.

geoscape_172.png

geoscape_173.png

DO YOU SEE HOW MUCH SHIT I CAN SELL. And our stores are STILL overloaded!

geoscape_174.png

bwee

geoscape_175.png

Shiny.

geoscape_176.png

...

do want

geoscape_177.png

HOWEVER, having read the Guide to Avoiding Bugs, I am instead researching one of our two live Deep Ones. /salute, Vladimir Vosotovosblownupski.

geoscape_178.png

geoscape_179.png

yaaaa fuck off of hawaii

geoscape_180.png

Soon.

geoscape_181.png

geoscape_182.png

Ugly fuckers.

They're SUB-HUMANS! :o

geoscape_183.png

Guess what this means. Can you?

geoscape_184.png

Seaking got a 'cuda.

geoscape_185.png

geoscape_186.png

geoscape_187.png

Mind Control, motherfuckers. Unfortunately, we don't have the necessary aliens to make it usable in combat, but training can start. I queue up two labs.

geoscape_188.png

geoscape_189.png

gshw

geoscape_190.png

geoscape_191.png

Aw.

geoscape_192.png

I had the brilliant notion to send Seaking some, y'know, weapons.

geoscape_193.png

HOLY SHIT they all love me.

geoscape_194.png

geoscape_195.png

geoscape_196.png

geoscape_197.png

Shadowing a Battleship around (dreadnought, as it were) gives me nothing but worry.

geoscape_198.png

I preferred it when I could see it nnnnnnnnnn

geoscape_199.png

Another!

geoscape_200.png

Oh, well, er, thanks.

geoscape_201.png

what are you doing up there, little aliens?

geoscape_202.png

And Seaking is officially more than a useless shit.

geoscape_203.png

geoscape_204.png

No coincidence, these two.

tactical_443.png

tactical_446.png

tactical_447.png

tactical_448.png

PFEH.

tactical_450.png

Eclipse shoots with her Dart Gun: hilarity ensues.

tactical_451.png

Furetchen gets an angle and then misses anyway.

tactical_452.png

TANK WIN

tactical_453.png

Is it just me or does this civvie look like he has a halo?

tactical_454.png

HM. I should probably have turned somebody around at some point.

tactical_455.png

holy sh-

MY LUCK WITH HARPOONS

tactical_456.png

ROOF TOP CAMPERS /shakes fist

I'll deal with him later.

tactical_457.png

tactical_459.png

tactical_459.png

I'm starting to restore our former glory.

tactical_460.png

INTEGER MISSES BY AN INCH

tactical_461.png

tank win!

tactical_462.png

Naturally, there's one on the next roof too.

tactical_463.png

doesn't matter.

tactical_464.png

Oh, hey, the first Deep One woke up and shot Furetchen.

tactical_465.png

...

seven times.

tactical_466.png

AND MISSED EVERY TIME

tactical_467.png

w-

wait a minute

He's floating.

tactical_468.png

oh well bzzt

tactical_469.png

Hang on just a ruddy minute.

I didn't kill that guy.

tactical_470.png

tactical_471.png

No, really, WHAT.

I wish you all to comprehend that shot.

START HERE

tactical_474.png

MOVE NORTH

tactical_475.png

MOVE MOVE NORTH

tactical_476.png

GO TWO FLOORS UP, THOUGH ONE WINDOW AND BETWEEN TWO BOXES

tactical_477.png

Anyway, back to the program: there's one on the second floor too!

tactical_478.png

tactical_479.png

SirTeabag, his scouting work done, walks casually off his tower.

tactical_480.png

So yeah, back to this guy.

tactical_481.png

Lightning can maybe wait what?

tactical_482.png

TARII

YOU FAIL ME

tactical_483.png

tactical_484.png

Lightning doesn't have LOS on either of them.

tactical_485.png

so he finishes his pursuer instead :/

tactical_486.png

Surprise, Integer.

tactical_487.png

Surprise, JB missed.

tactical_488.png

Didn't we do this on the first mission ever? ECLIPSE WILL PROTECT YOU, TINY CIVILIANS

tactical_489.png

Tank gets the middle dude.

SEVERAL TURNS LATER

tactical_490.png

Somebody failed to kill Integer.

tactical_491.png

tactical_492.png

serves him right

tactical_493.png

This civilian was inspired by SirTeabag.

tactical_494.png

WHAT THE FUCK THERE'S ANOTHER UP HERE

ON THE NEXT TURN

tactical_495.png

Let's try that again.

tactical_496.png

YAAA PEW

Good news, GEOSCAPE!

geoscape_207.png

I don't know why I always take a picture of us leaving our previous mission. I just do. Maybe it's like a Previously On XCOM...

geoscape_208.png

schwing

geoscape_209.png

yay I have STORAGE SPACE now!

geoscape_210.png

ooh

geoscape_211.png

Yeah baby, the Balcerzakian Mind Meld is BACK IN ACTION

geoscape_213.png

whatever don't care

geoscape_212.png

Autopsy time!

geoscape_214.png

I love one-day researches.

geoscape_215.png

....

k, that's fucked up.

geoscape_216.png

Oh, yeah, the Aqua Plastics we've been getting from downed subs and whatnot? That's DEEP ONE SKIN.

Or vice versa, as it were.

geoscape_217.png

Whatever, I'll research it anyway.

geoscape_218.png

geoscape_219.png

It's a convoy!

geoscape_221.png

FFFFFUUUUUUUUU

geoscape_222.png

It's a convoy of death now.

geoscape_223.png

geoscape_224.png

wtf

geoscape_225.png

Stupid Australian reef obscures it, but there are FOUR USOs in this shot and two of ours.

geoscape_226.png

geoscape_227.png

hmm. why are they all landing? Don't let me forget to sweep for a base in that area next GEOSCAPE update. DON'T!

geoscape_228.png

oh god oh god that's a juicy target

geoscape_229.png

Who wants to live forever anyway?

geoscape_230.png

Yes, there are FOUR USOs in a square small enough to be all clicked on at once.

geoscape_231.png

tactical_002.png

----------

In the next post, we will assault a touched down Dreadnought AT NIGHT. I just want to say, before it's too late, I LOVE YOU GUYS.
