@Major Damage perhaps you can list who killed how many Alien in Daily Rapport?

Location: Temple of Sanity
The southernmost temple located in Mega-Primus, this will be the target of our first search.

GTX2GvO approaches a pair of guards at the temple door

GTX2GvO: Hello, Citizens. We have reasons your temple may be contaminated with illegal alien lifeforms. We'd like to conduct a search.

Well, they're certainly fast on the draw... but GTX is faster. He knocks out both thugs before they get a chance to fire.

GTX2GvO: That certainly looked like an admission of guilt to me...

The 2x2 area that is the temple building looks peaceful at first. Team Alpha (Chosen, Tervez, Paco) takes the norther corridor, Team Bravo (Capo, GTX2GvO,Eagle) takes the eastern one.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_013.png

The first cultist enters the area, but TC quickly draws a bead on him and takes him down.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_014.png

What happens next... all hell breaks loose. For a moment. Our teams respond with gunfire and kill off several of the Cultists.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_016.png

Tervez manages to Mind-Control a Cultist briefly, but she suddenly slips out of his mental grasp and disappears into the adjoining section. Paco follows her and takes her out.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_017.png

We wait in hiding for next few minutes, but it seems the Cultists are too scared of us to fight.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_019.png

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_020.png

And finally we have some command structure. The Chosen will be your squad leader.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7.../ufo2p_008.png

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7.../ufo2p_006.png

Location: Temple of Doom
Placed in the northeastern part of the city, this is the second temple we strike at.

The entrance guards find themselves a little tied up when Kugerfang employs his stealth and speed to sneak up on them and then web them using his Stun Grapples, allowing the rest of the team to enter the place without causing a general alert. Whaddadya know, the kid is actually good for something...

Kugerfang follows the team on this mission - let's hope he survives it.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_021.png

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_022.png

Another 2x2 compound. The team quickly moves to best positions to intercept any Cultists coming their way.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_023.png

And there are some! Unfortunately, one of them is smart enough to use a Smoke Grenade to cover their positions.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_025.png

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_027.png

Tervez moves to assist Team Bravo, and GTX2GvO takes out his motion scanner. Suddenly, a cultist comes up running through the smoke. Capo is the first one to spot the object in the psycho's hand.

Capo: GRENAAADE!!!

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_029.png

Everyone runs to avoid this one. And the next. And a third. Then they turn 180 and fire back at the Cultists.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_031.png

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_032.png

The Chosen: Kuger, gas grenade at their position!

Kugerfang moves in and a cloud of stun gas covers the Cultists' main attack route.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_034.png

GTX: Nice job, kid. As soon as the gas clears, grab a gun and hold on to it like your life depends on it. It just might.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_035.png

The Cultists have stopped coming - but Tervez says he still can sense some presence nearby.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_036.png

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_037.png

Paco takes out his own scanner and scouts the next rooms together with GTX - but without any apparent results. Paco goes down into the service tunnels, but there doesn't seem to be anything on the scanner. Of course, in places with a lot of false echoes like this one it's hard to tell for sure. A small victory for Paco - he managed to startle a Cultist...

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_038.png

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_039.png

Who flees right into The Chosen's lurking place! His remaining lifespan is exactly as long as it takes for TC to pull the trigger.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_040.png

The last Cultist tries to sneak up on Tervez. Sneaking up... on a psychic? Are these morons for real?

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_041.png

Well, that was the last one. Time to count up the loot and soldier promotions.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_045.png

Next thing to hit will be the Temple of the Visitors... but that will have to wait for the next installment of the X-Com saga.
See you tomorrow, same X-Time, same X-Channel!

[Capo]

I really need a promotion or Paco become my chief :wondering:

[GTX2GvO]

Back @ the base cafeteria.. (where else??)

GTX2GvO: Damn! Cultists!! Last time I met those fanatic fools was on Umbrius Delta..

Kugerfang: I know my galactic maps well, but I do not know anything about any Umbrius system..
The Chosen: That's a system just barely beyond this Galaxy. Only heard once about it myself.

The Chosen: But what bothers me most is. Isn't planet Delta of that system devoid of any breathable air..
GTX2GvO: Spaceship, my dear TC. Space Ship.
The Chosen: Oh yeah that fancy get everywhere in no time thing of yours..

The Chosen: So, What were you doing on Umbrius Delta anyway.?
GTX2GvO: You know....
The Chosen: That's why I'm asking...

GTX2GvO: I heard about a very rewarding contract..
Kugerfang: *GASP!!!!* You??? Nooooo!!!!!

GTX2GvO: *Bang!* Knock it off kid!! You're a soldier.
Kugerfang: But..... But... And why did you hit me like that?

GTX2GvO: Well , MAYBE because although that contracts value was near perfect. The selected task wasn't..
The Chosen: What did they ask you to do?

GTX2GvO: Blow up Earth.... :notrust:
The Chosen: And what did you do??
GTX2GvO: Blew up their oxygen generator. :amused:

The Chosen: So, THAT'S why I heard about it 15 years ago...
Kugerfang: But who is even CAPABLE of blowing up an entire planet??

GTX2GvO: Maybe those 3 Ardnikan Warships I have in my secret base..
Capo: ArdniWHAT??
The Chosen: Now you even baffle me..
Kugerfang: You have a secret base!!!!

GTX2GvO: That was the contract reward for saving the Ardnikan home world in a galaxy thats around 225 billion light years away from here.
Kugerfang: *Gasp!* Aaaarrgg!! Don't hit me again!!
*Kugerfang Ducks*

The Chosen: So.. What about that secret base of yours?
GTX2GvO: It wouldn't be a secret if I told it's location to anyone.
GTX2GvO: Especially YOU...

Major Damage: So.. I guess you can get some very fast ships I guess.?
GTX2GvO: Cost you Double..
Major Damage: ahem!! :mad:
GTX2GvO: .... Sir.

GTX2GvO: So what brings you here?
Major Damage: :mad:
GTX2GvO: *sigh* .. SIRRR.... :notrust:
Major Damage: I wondered why the hell you people weren't preparing for the next mission?

GTX2GvO: Got hungry. So I went here for diner.
GTX2GvO: And what are your excu..... ????
GTX2GvO: Where the hell did they all disappeared to?

Major Damage: Maybe to prepare for the next mission?
GTX2GvO *mumbled*: Sure.. Whatever.. Don't really know what to prepare for.

*GTX2GvO leaves the Cafeteria to do SOMETHING*

Major Damage: *Sigh* If it wasn't for the damn fact the aliens themselves are just offering 10% less off what we do, I'd personally kicked him off this frigging base.
Major Damage: Then again. He can get his hands to nearly ANY kind of resource.
Major Damage: I hate MY superiors for putting me through this..

Major Damage: And where the hell IS that secret base of his??
Major Damage: Damn.. now that they are preparing for the next mission, I have to prepare that next mission for them..

Major Damage: Well. Off to work then..

[Kugerfang]

What version of X-Com are you using?

X-Com 3 - Apocalypse. You should have know if you checked the Title and Pic.

[The Fifth Horseman]

@ Kuger: Yeah, it's Apocalypse. The gameplay is more focused on individual soldiers than on large groups, and the ingame physics are much better.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7.../ufo2p_009.png

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7.../ufo2p_010.png
Location: Temple of Visitors

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_046.png
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_047.png

The third of our targets, this turns to be one of the easier ones.
The Cultists are concentrated in one part of the area, and as we take over the center of the map...
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_048.png
They walk right into our guns.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_050.png
Just like that.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_051.png
We advance on them...
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_052.png
And the survivors flee.

Here's the scoring:
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_053.png

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7.../ufo2p_011.png
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7.../ufo2p_012.png
Location: Temple of Humility

Fourth temple, which means we're past the halfway mark now.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_054.png
Large place, aint it? Team Alpha advances into the hall, and finds an entrance to the underground, while Team Bravo takes watch over the corridor.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_057.png
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_055.png

A quick look around the underground room shows that the area offers too much advantages to the defenders for us to rush headlong into, so the team withdraws and waits until the cultists come to them.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_058.png
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_059.png
Precisely.

Tervez enters the door next to Team Bravo's location and finds himself in an apparently empty room - too late spotting the cultist with a Rocket Launcher.
Tervez runs around, trying to avoid the missiles. It's a very intense fifteen seconds, but the cultist soon runs of ammunition and Tervez can take him out safely. (sorry for not catching the whole thing, but like I said - short & extremely hectic)
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_060.png

And it seems the Sirians have backed out again.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_061.png

Oh well, at least we've got some nice loot out of it, and Capo finally ranked up to Squaddie.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...3/tacp_062.png

To Be Continued shortly...

[GTX2GvO]

In the equipment bay. (For a change)

Capo: Man. I'd love to see that "Batmobile" up close without rushing into it..
Paco: Same here..

*Sounds of a mechanic doing his job*

Paco: What the?? Do we Have a mechanic on this base?
Capo: No.. So WHO could it be.

Capo: Let's see..



Paco & Capo: Whoa!!! What.... A... Ship!!!!
Capo: ehhh.. Who is there??

*Nothing*

Paco: Hello!! Who IS There!!!

*Thump!!*
GTX2GvO: $h1t.... F**k!! What the..
GTX2GvO: Oh hi guys.. What are you doing here?

Paco: We came to see the "Batmobile" up close and better..
GTX2GvO: Ahh.. I see.. It's over there..
*GTX2GvO points casually in the direction of the mentioned vehicle*

Capo: And what are you doing?
GTX2GvO: Doing some work on my Space Ship here.. :amused:
*pats ship*
Paco: Is that...? THAT ship??

GTX2GvO: Yes.. So...?
Capo: How fast is it?
GTX2GvO: Faster then anything YOU'VE ever been in.

Capo & Paco: *Gulp*
Paco: So how much does such a ship cost anyway.

GTX2GvO: Depends on how deep your pockets are..
Paco: Sure Judging you..

GTX2GvO: Hé!! Even the standard model cost you under NORMAL conditions several Millions of credits.
GTX2GvO: And even then you get nowhere in an eon..
GTX2GvO: Also.. These Customizations aren't cheap either.
GTX2GvO: It cost even me three times the original value of this ship to get the Legal Customizations and as you can see I'm STILL busy fine tuning it's specs..!!

Paco: Sorry to bust your bubble... *Geez*
GTX2GvO: Yeah, Yeah.. Whatever.. You guys wanted to see THAT thing there.. So Go there and stop bothering me..

Capo & Paco: Yeah sure. See ya...

*While Paco & Capo go and see the "Batmobile", GTX2GvO continues working on his Space Ship..*
