A UFO is spotted over South America, we scramble a RAVEN, it is wounded to the point I have to call it off, but before we can worry about the UFO we are called out for alien abductions.
Rosario, Argentina - Panic 3, Difficult, $200
Delhi, India - Panic 2, Moderate, 4 Engineers
Novagorod, Russia - Panic 3, Difficult, Support Captain
This one is tough, but looking at things, South America brings us in more money than Russia would just on satellite coverage, but the $200 is needed more than another Support Captain so I order the crew to Argentina.

Perj, Imad, Vanya, Law and Idol all have Carapace Armor while Warlord is a complete bad ass and wears just a nano fiber vest. Imad has a SCOPE while Perj has an Arc Thrower. Vanya has the medkit and Idol will wear a nano fiber vest under his carapace.
Operation Empty Prohpet
We touch down on a freeway bridge point. Perj, Imad and Vanya head to the left while Warlord, Law and Idol are shifted to the right. The movement is strategic but it is almost immediately that Warlord spots 2 flyers to the right. He snaps off a burst from his machine gun and misses.
Imad moves to up to the right and misses with his shot and Idol continues shifting but misses his shot. Law is not going to mess around and rips a rocket taking out a cab and a flyer. Vanya moves up and has contact with 2 thin men on the left. As they scramble Vanya ignores them and takes out a Flyer.
Imad is exposed so Perj manages to pop a smoke and create some cover for Imad. This draws the fire from a Thin Man and Perj is wounded. Vanya spins and takes out the Thin Man. The squad moves and sets up an over watch.
A Thin Man darts out and is missed by Warlord, Perj and Imad. Vanya doesn't though and obliterates a thin man. Perj moves up and has immediate contact with 2 Flyers on the left, he fires as they scramble and misses.
Imad lines one up in the scope and takes it out. Vanya manages to get over to Perj and heals him up. Warlord wounds a Flyer while Imad misses. Idol has managed to climb up on top of a truck to get "high" ground and lines up a Flyer, he squeezes the trigger and takes out the Flyer.
Law moves up on the left and has contact almost immediately with Mutons. He panics and drops back while Vanya rips a shot, missing.
Warlord isn't going to mess around and sends a Shredder rocket towards the Mutons. He takes one out as well as two vehicles. Law sends his second rocket to the other Muton wounding it and tearing out the side of the big rig it was hiding behind.
Perj moves up and fires missing. But Idol, sitting on top of the truck, squares the Muton and it's fat head right in his cross hairs. He sees a puff of blood and the Muton falls.
8 Aliens Killed
0 Ops Lost
Panic breaks out in France and Russia.
Squaddie Tell Perj is promoted to Corporal and learns Covering Fire. Perj will also miss 6 days due to wounds.
With the money made 2 Satellites, a med kit, Scope and 2 Phoenix Cannons are ordered up. Heavy Laser research is complete and that will allow us to build out Heavy Lasers, Laser Cannons and SHIV Laser.
I order Elerium research next. We are contacted by Canada, they want 3 Heavy Lasers, are willing to pay $311 for it. I need Alloys in order to make them, we will see.
