https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFFa440Mo0I This is a super goddamn weird small building. Very narrow but maybe pretty long. There's nothing of value in the first room.  They're creeping around somewhere so I have Lurk shoot down their bullshit curtains so we can get some vision https://i.imgur.com/hXda6XH.gifv Hell Yeah makes contact https://i.imgur.com/XHk89hc.gifv Dong Q tries to follow up https://i.imgur.com/8G4dazR.gifv Xcom peerless accuracy strikes once again. Qwerty takes care of things tho https://i.imgur.com/kg11oyM.gifv I have everyone else take defensive positions, and it was a good thing, cause Dong takes a bullet to the brain https://i.imgur.com/jAKAnjC.gifv Get patched up. This probably has nothing to do with lurk accidentally hitting our own guys more than the cultists. Sheep's in position, so takes out some scumbags: https://i.imgur.com/zdon6tS.gifv There's still more tho. Qwerty finds them & Hyrax assists https://i.imgur.com/5rLCrga.gifv Hell yeah finishes this thing. And blows up a shitload of loot. https://i.imgur.com/lxwkD11.gifv

 Good progress already.

Speaking of loot, we got some decent stuff, but we lost most of it in the last part there. We got: laser sniper + ammo Autocannons + armor piercing ammo HEAVY LAUNCHER + 2 high explosive missiles a handful of grenades … nothing else. No good money loot or drugs or anything. I'm gonna load in the rest of the science nerds and then ⏩ till something interesting happens.

Yes and yes. BUT gently caress! Aliens instantly struck long before they normally do.  zen appears to be stoned and can't figure out how to get to the goddamn place. He drives around the block for like 20 minutes and the vid is too boring. After fanangling the controls we finally make it to the mission locale Alien Alert -- Oliver Twist Block: Type: Slum.

I have Lurk move to stun. If it works it'll knock this rear end in a top hat out of the fight fast. https://i.imgur.com/vXicqtl.gifv Everyone else moves to guard. Your move, scum. https://i.imgur.com/2Sai8Vf.gifv  https://i.imgur.com/p1Q2J5V.gifv that was anticlimactic. We recovered some kind of biological gun. Actual aliens are destroyed.

The city goes completely silent. Well, as quiet as it gets. The labs make good progress in Dimension Gate tech & the Biotransport module. Until UFOs are detected. I scramble 420 and the cars to shoot them down, but I accidentally gently caress up the orders and they explode the wreckage. The other ufos mill around and then leave before we can get close enough to engage. https://i.imgur.com/mNHNVTU.gifv We're gonna have to spread out our guys around the city, it's too big to cover effectively from our one base. We make it thru the night without anything else happening. Physics makes a breakthru:  Because I accidentally blew up the UFO wreckage before we could recover it, the physicists have nothing else to do for now. Whoops. Here's where we can start to decide what we're going to do tho:   The UFOs were floating around somewhere near these buildings owned by the illegal Psyke gang. According to our connections, aliens are in fact focusing on them to try and assume control. Right now they're 6% infiltrated. I think if it gets past 50% there's a chance they flip completely to aliens, but I don't know exactly how it works. If we want we can proactively investigate them for alien influence. If we find aliens we get a mission, and no harm no foul. If we don't find aliens, then Psyke will get pissed at us, and if they get pissed off enough they'll try to fight us, aliens or not. If we do nothing and some civilian sees aliens we'll get the ghostbusters alarm and have to go fight them, but that will mean just a little less funding cause we're barely doing our job.

Taeke posted:I said whatever you needed, so if you need more agents then sign me up. I seem te remember going through those quicker than in the later xcom games, so I'll get my turn to be cannon fodder soon enough. It's a little different. The aliens are more subtle and will change their strategies based on how you play. Usually everything will go ok until they pull some crazy poo poo outta the dimension gate and we have no counter for it. So right now we have 10 agents. We can hire more no problem. We have 15 science guys and only 4 are named after goons. So you can slot into a science position now, or a car, or get on the agent list. Whatever you want man. I don't need anybody new as of right this second. I'm probably not going to hire anybody until we get to the point where we're sending 8 or 10 or 16 agents to one mission, or unless the thread votes to hire more now, but anybody could get killed and agents will go off the sign up list and into the game that way too. --- Dong is still wounded. We'll send in the last crew to take a look at the mansions. Before we get there the cops shoot at psyke and we almost get hosed up from it, but I screwed up the capture. Once that settles down, we do the investigation. There are aliens. Investigation -- Necronomicon Mansions: Type: Slum.

Captain Billy Pissboy posted:Can you buy drugs from this gang? Psyke invented drugs. Space drugs that is:  (The numbers are off but it's the same org) --- Blade & Ape are on the list --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4oKN4Eijhg  seems like a bigger map, but only because it's a multilevel shithole apartment. Unless the aliens walk right into us like last time it could end up being a slog. No civilians this time. I split Lurk & Grognan off into a second squad, they'll take the fire escape, everyone else goes towards the main entrance. It's insanely tedious and eventually I break up everyone and they each start going door to door looing through all the apartments. Finally, after 6 goddamn turns, Hyrax finds some... thing. https://i.imgur.com/Ti2rloV.gifv Lands some good shots but it seems to have no effect. Retreat and wait for backup. Qwert gets in and the situation is made more complicated: https://i.imgur.com/cRcAFk7.gifv also I forgot to bring grenades whelp hopefully stun does something That's a lot of guys for one noob with just a gun, so I have Hyrax help cover and everyone else hauls towards this apartment. Fuckin lurkbeast is on the goddam roof and there's no chance they'll be nearby. Grog is on a different floor, in fact everyone else is basically as far away as they can be. https://i.imgur.com/Ak4x95e.gifv It looks like the gas works on Mr Pink, but whatever that snake thing is it's extremely fast and does a ton of up-close damage. Hyrax gets wounded even through the armor. Remember the last guy had to get pegged several times point blank before getting a wound, this was like one attack, but it's not critically bad yet. Hell Yeah lusts for alien blood. [e: this was where Hell Yeah runs down the other corridor and looks for aliens but sees none] Gotta find the big one.  Qwert finds some kind of like embryos or something. They don't attack or take any action at all when the door opens. Let's try door #2 https://i.imgur.com/V09b0St.gifv Literally misses with almost a whole magazine what the gently caress even? This is the part where I scream "IT"S GETTING AWAAAAAAY!!" https://i.imgur.com/ijNGRmZ.gifv Grognan cuts it off at the pass and does essentially nothing. Hell Yeah gets ready to blow it up, but gets beat to the punch. https://i.imgur.com/LYU4UTV.gifv   We didn't recover anything from that mission, but at least the wounds were mild. Probably that was maybe all the aliens? Unless some snuck out of the building and went somewhere else?  uh, things seem to be getting A LOT worse, FAST?? Psyke is now 26% infiltrated, but you gotta remember that it takes time for Xcom spies or w/e comes up with this info to get up to date. The chart is always at least one hour in the past, so maybe we killed all the aliens completely and it'll plummet to zero. Or that was the tip of the iceberg.
