We were informed that the aliens have planted a series of plasma devices and a bomb inside the train yard.
As we touchdown in the train yard we see several plasma nodes close by Sarah in a panic runs towards the one but I was able to relay some sense to her and she stopped and took some cover waiting for the rest of her squad to cover the node. But as she peeks out the corner she sees an alien, tallish, human looking and Dr. Vahlen starts freaking out saying it is a seen out of They Live, where they have already infiltrated us.
While Sarah was rushing, Vanya moved to cover and he spotted the alien run and opened up on it, wounding it. Warlord moves to a spot to shoot and misses, while Sarah misses as well. Idol moves up next to Sarah.
Alien tosses some sort of alien lawn dart that is full of poison that explodes next to Idol and Sarah. Sarah bends down and diffuses the node while Vanya moves up and takes out the alien.
Idol moves over towards Vanya to get out of the poison cloud. Vanya hits Idol with the medkit curing the poison. Warlord moves up to the left and he spots 2 Sectoids.
Idol manages to wound one with his pistol on over watch. Sarah misses and Vanya finishes it off. Warlord is able to move up and disarm another node. Vanya moves to a node and disarms it while spotting the bomb.
The command is to now disarm the bomb, but working through an unknown number of aliens might make it tough, so Warlord is told to disarm nodes as he works his way to the bomb on a flanking maneuver. While he does this he is able to disarm a couple of nodes.
Idol get's a little closer to where the last alien was seen and as he moves the little bugger pokes his head out and fires, wounding Idol. Idol gets to his spot and is pissed, he grabs a grenade and lobs it, killing the alien.
Vanya begins moving up and has contact with 1 alien. He sets and fires missing. Sarah moves and snaps a shot off missing the alien to. The little guy manages to send a plasma stream towards Vanya missing. Sarah has spent her ammo and begins to reload while Warlord is moving over shooting and missing the alien.
Idol takes a shot at the alien missing him. The alien in a panic at the big gun noise from it's right snaps a plasma shot off at Warlord missing him completely. Sarah slams in the belt and pops up from behind cover and shreds the Sectoid.
Warlord continues moving towards the bomb and disarms another node and he manages contact with another alien. His ammo is spent so he lobs a grenade and takes the alien out.
Sarah and Idol take a covering position over the bomb as Vanya rushes to it and disarms it.
New orders come in that we are to eliminate all aliens in the area and are warned we have 3 more on their way. These 3 human looking aliens drop from the sky, they must be using stealth type technology as we didn't see or hear anything.
The positive here is that all three landed in the firing zones and Sarah, Vanya and Idol unleash hell on of them all but pulverizing it. Sarah then spins and shoots at one that has high ground on her. She wounds him but Vanya doesn't miss dropping it.
Warlord laughs as his ammo is spent and grabs the rocket and sends it hurling towards the last alien and the explosion and splat pepper the cargo and the train car right next to it.
