What a wild ride. And it looks like their piloting skills haven't changed much either ;) But aren't they forgetting about a certain agent with her foot planted on a landmine?

Nice to have a powerful psychic along. Has Cat fully accepted that her psy skills just aren't there or did this tweak a bit of a nerve?

Awesome updates LB. I'm going to miss them when you're done, which looks like you're getting very close.

That would be <not sure what> if it was Roy that was the one that ends up doing him in.

I guess they're going to get a field test of their anti Chrystalid egg syrum now.

Medic! I guess the two mutons just standing there were so that they could pin point the alphas for the big gun. I hope Cat and Hadrian have enough cover to absorb at least some of the blast.

You know a mission is going to be rough when even the landing will be questionable. I guess the aliens got their own base defenses. That or the welcoming party has arrived.

That's one suicidal sectoid.

Six of them? Yikes. Time to see how effective the stun launcher is against Mutons. I can't really remember from the original game. If nothing else, at least it's an area effect weapon.

Vacation's over, time to get back to work. Did the Alpha's ever find out how Drake was reprimanded?

Cat's score was much more typical of what you'd get from the original game. I do get the feeling though that it was a very good thing for Drake that Cat didn't score high :)

Man, that was awesome! Is there some as of yet unmentioned tension or prankster relationship between Vas and Drake?

Our first missed Monday update :( I'm interested to see what this new crystal is. I'm pretty sure Elerium was the only alien power source in the orginal game, and it was a crystal too so this will make for an interesting new piece to the game.

Was the ship was commanded by sectoids, or did the grenade just toast an ethereal and they never saw the body? I know of the many times I played the game, sometimes it was rare the sectoids had psionic abilities and other times they were much more prevalent. Here I figured for sure there'd be...

The 'football missile' was the most devestating weapon in the game from what I remember. Rarely did soldiers survive, even in the best armor, once you hit the point where the aliens started using them. They were very heavy on the time unit usage but their sheer destructive power was worth it.

Almost as much as the alien ship destroying all those cities was a defining moment in the campaign itself, looks like this could be a defining mission for the alpha's themselves. And they're really going to need to find a way to hedge out all that mind control.

After the wicked beating they took and walked away from, leave it to a bloody ethereal to really cause some damage.

I remember the Muton's being tough but wow. Were the alpahs struggling with low damage rolls?

"How do we know it's hostile?" That made me laugh. Did the player really say that? If so, kudos on keeping her naieve.

I've never played in a game of that high a level, but having flipped through the MMs a few times and seeing monsters with these insane full attack numbers, sometimes I wonder if there's a certain point where armor is mostly irrelevant except to keep the mooks off you while you deal with the...
