So it's the fifth and almost last of the temples. On our way, a Sirius-owned civilian hovercar attempted to crash into the Batmobile. Some zealot Cultist apparently forgot who was running the heavily armored military vehicle with onboard anti-aircraft missile battery...

The temple is pretty small, it seems. Good - less going around and chasing ghosts for us.
Team Bravo begins in center. They swiftly move to a suitable ambush position at anyone entering through the door - Kugerfang taking the position right next to the exit.

It worked just nicely. Until one of the cultists turned up with a rocket launcher and fired that at the incoming Team Alpha.

No fatalities, fortunately, but Capo's leg got badly mangled by the shrapnel. Capo takes out his medikit and rushes out of combat zone, certain his squadmates can handle the situation.

Kugerfang seems pretty annoyed he didn't get the cultist before the latter managed to fire, and rushes headlong into the next room catching two Cultists unaware of his entrance.

And that seems to conclude this mission, since our agents are the only things left alive in the building.
Here's the lowdown on the score:

By the way - Yay for Kugerfang! The crazy kid hasn't scored any kills before, but in this mission he got FIVE, and he seems to be the fastest-improving member of the team too.
Now it's time to clear the mother of all Sirius Cult Temples in the city - the Temple of Apocalypse!

So we've finally come to investigate the last of Cult's temples. The building is pretty sizeable, as you may see. Still, there's a few inherent design flaws that give us tactical advantage. Like those central choke points.

Some cultists get between the two teams and quickly find out that "crossfire" is more than just a way of setting up two graphics cards together.

Team Alpha is rushed by the cultists, one of them with a missile launcher.
Seems Capo still holds a grudge.
Capo: "No,
this time you
won't."
With blinding speed, he switches his auto cannon to rapid fire and plugs the Cult heavy weapon trooper - as well as the cultist next to him - full of large-caliber holes.

Seems they've stopped coming, so our team descends into the service tunnels, only to catch a glimpse of the last two remaining cultists high-tailing it out of the building.

Here's the score:

The money from selling off the confiscated Cult of Sirius weaponry net in at 104 000 $ - more than enough to upgrade our vehicles a bit and pay for six Hoverbikes. We've upgraded them with targeting modules, maxed-out engines and of course bigger guns. We'll use them as remote drones - should take the teeth out of any UFO infestation.

Oh, and... the Cult are a whiny bunch. They filed a complaint. Can you believe it?
A complaint!!!
Major Damage has a good comment for this: "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. We'll just show them they were lucky with their losses this time round..."
