Operation Silent Throne. Here's hoping this streak of awesome mission names doesn't run out.
A few sectoids clamber out of the wreckage of their ship.
Khan kills one, but C-no misses the other. The survivor scampers off.
C-no hears something suspicious, so the CWCki Squad investigates. Turns out it's a whole pack of sectoids.
Saney
finally manages to kill something.
And Khan misses for once.
Unfortunately, the sectoids are soon reinforced by thin men.
And now its very hit-and-miss. C-no and Taggert miss, but Caffeinated Wench hits.
Which sucks for C-no, considering he's out in the open. The sectoid scores a critical hit, leaving him with just one hit point. Fortunately, sectoids are stupid, so instead of finishing him off, they opt to shoot at Saney afterwards, but miss. Fortunately, Saney has a medkit on hand.
Against the odds, Khan hits the sectoid who's linked with another, killing both with the psionic backlash.
Caffeinated Wench manages to get a passing blow on one of the thin men.
The thin men retaliate, missing Saney, but managing to do minor damage to Taggert.
Fortunately, Khan puts them down for good.
Alright, a new flight computer! We can now research this when we get back.
Storming the UFO, Khan manages to put down the last crewmember, an Outsider.
Well, we didn't get all of the Meld and C-no was grievously injured, but Khan and Saney got promoted, so silver lining!
Back at the base, we've finally finished research Carapace Armour, which is sure to be useful. Now that's out of the way, what do we research next? Xeno-Biology, Experimental Warfare, the Alien Nav Computer, the UFO Power Source, Precision Lasers, Heavy lasers or the Skeleton Suit?
