XCEF IC - Missions

KEEP ALL OOC IN THE OOC THREAD ON PAIN OF ALIUMS))

XCEF - Mission Thread

I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.

    President Ronald Reagan, United Nations General Assembly, 21 September 1987

High above the world, eyes looked down coldly. There was no need for them to speak. They had their Purpose. It would be done. The alien craft, a saucer-shaped construction, sleek and flawless, slipped into the atmosphere. It was cruising in the lower atmosphere when one of the native's war-craft was detected. It approached, clearly on an attack vector. Different native fighters had tried before, no match for the armaments of the aliens.
Destroy it. There must be no interference.

Obediently, weapons locked onto the native fighter. A single shot was prepared. No more had been needed to vapourise the primitive steel and aluminum structures used by the natives. The plasma beam reached out and splashed across the fighter, and the attention of the slaves in the alien craft already were turning away when their screens beeped. The native fighter was still active. It had launched missiles.

One of the slaves had time to see the missiles just before they struck. If it had somehow been able to look at the missile in the brief second before detonation, it would have seen there was writing on the side in one of the native languages:
"E.T. Go Home".


Deep beneath the hills of Wales, United Kingdom, a room erupted in cheers. The Commander, however, did not crack a smile, their steely eyes gazing at the main screen.
"Strike One condition?"
"Already airborne, Commander." The reply crackled back.
The Commander's expression did not change. In a way, the interceptor had the easy job.


OPERATION BRONZE SHARK - TURN 1

It had been a short journey in the Skyranger. Stike One stepped out the craft, staring about. All the drills, the training… it lead up to this moment.
“Green to go, Strike One. Good luck,” Cloudview, the Skyranger pilot, radioed in. “I’ll remain on station in case evac is needed.”

Anton squinted hard, his eyes searching the nighttime darkness. His expression was one of grim concentration.

Zese creatures; from outer space, no? I wonder.. I wonder what zeir insides look like.

He gestured with the flat of his hand towards the area below his stomach. In ze cold a man's guts, when spilled, will steam just like any ozer animal's. I will cut zem open, zen we'll see just how monstrous zey are.. Anton shoulders past the others to P8.

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

Mordeci to M8

Mordeci took up a position in the front of the formation, his machine gun poised before him.
"Everyone behind me, and give me covering fire when hostiles are sighted."
He visually checked to make sure his armor was fastened securely, and let the slightest of sighs.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Bronze Shark - Turn 1 Cont.

People move. As they do so, they notice a small grey figure behind the small orchard.
Alien.

It chitters at them, and a device strapped to it's arm begins to hum with an ominous green glow.

Taylor aims his sights at the sectoid, grimacing. JUST out of range...

"One of you guys can get it, right?"

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.
God help us if we have to agree on pizza toppings at some point. There will be no survivors.

((Can I still shoot after moving and unveiling terrain in the fog of war?
Also what does "Reduces sight through tile by one" mean? Does this mean linearly or...?
Because the angle from me to it is diagonally.

...Do we have the Second Wave option of 'Firing Angles' on? :P))

Josephine nodded at Taylor's indication and checked her rifle. "Alien in my sights. Just at the tip of my effective range. Shall I take a shot?"

What are you doing?! Don't think! Shoot!!
"Firing."

TAKE THE SHOT.

Keep OOC comments in the OOC!

Jo takes aim at the alien and pulls the trigger.
Code: (Jo vs Sectoid A) [Select]
To hit : 65+ 10 - 12 = 63
Roll: 36, hit
To crit: 5
Roll: 62, no crit
Damage: (6 to 14)-2 = 10

The sectoid staggers at the shot, squealing in pain. By the barn, Jo, cooly pulls back the bolt on her marksman's rifle, loading another round.
