((Well, there goes that theory...))

((Which one?))

Well...we now have a newcomer. Hello, Four.
Four, you're an idiot.
It's not my fault! It sounded like a good idea at the time!
"What's going on?"
See if any of the friendly people here explain.

I started playing X-Com: Enemy Unknown. The first mission went tutorially. The second went easily--a bit more freedom, but still pretty linear. I think I killed both of the enemies with one shot of the rifle instead of using the rocket launcher like they recommended. Wish I had caught the name of the soldier who did that.
It's pretty impressive. I like how the game transitions so smoothly from tactical view to personal view to "cutscene". It's a well-designed engine. The gameplay seems pretty fun, too, but I've only started.
EDIT: I think it's a Juan Medina of Argentina, home nation of Sq. Jorge Vargas, only survivor of the Tutorial. Medina became a Support, while fellow rookie Chase Mills of Canada became a Sniper for killing one enemy. With a grenade, I believe. Azubuike Hangana of some nation with a green-and-white flag got no kills. Poor guy...

When in Rome...

In which case, it would be more effective to shove the IllBorn Exchange into his chest.

Did we ever really figure out how to use that?

Smash Illborn Exchange on Lying Creator.

Two Sectopods in one mission.
What is this.

He's just a mon-ster, from a pit of magic; spare him his life from this mon-strosity!))

I take it you won't let me go, then?

Bismillah, no! We will not let you go.

"These should hold pretty well." He hands them to Stella.

((Trying to remember a lot from that fight...what was it, exactly? And did it bleed?))
