Interlude 1
We send in a modified request for 2 additional aquanauts, over the 10 we initially asked for. With the scrubs we get, we'll be lucky if 8 of them are combat worthy. In that request is an order for 10 scientists as well. We also request more ammo for the attack subs and general equipment for the troops. Everything from more rounds for the harpoons to extra gas cannons (big single shot heavy weapons) are ordered.
Apparently the same guys who used to design the old X-Com bases laid this one out. If we are ever attacked, this place is gonna be a deathtrap, mainly for us. We get to work ordering more berthing for the troops and eggheads, as well as storage and an alien containment/torture center. Speaking of eggheads, the lab techs get to work on a decent Med kit that can work underwater, while the engineers eagerly await those plans so they can start work. The clock ticks by as we wait for the inevitable.
