Obviously whoever makes up the names for these missions has never been on one as this will be anything but a friggin dream!! We land in a wooded area near the German border and notice a burning tree to the northwest, looks like a good direction to head.
Coffee Warlord moves towards the tree and three floaters come into view. She immediately takes cover and suppresses the lead one. David Gonzalez moves up to a tree and wounds the floater under suppression fire. Benton Gale moves to the left of CW and takes a shot at the same floater with his pistol, bang, dead!! Law and Silvers both advance and neither has a shot, so they go on overwatch in anticipation of the upcoming charge.
One of the floaters takes a shot at Law and misses, while the other launches itself and lands just to the left of Coffee Warlord and Gale, avoiding a reaction shot from Law as it goes. Thinking this is a bad move for the alien as Gale shoulders his sniper rifle and dispatches the baddie blowing a hole through its chest. Law pulls back and everyone else goes to overwatch as we wait to see what the last floater will do.
It stays put, so Law and Silvers move up to try and bait it out as everyone else grips their weapons and waits for movement. The floater isn’t biting, so we will have to go get it. Warlord opens up with suppression fire as Gonzalez and Law move up to try and get a shot. Gonzalez misses, Law does not as the floater succumbs to a shotgun blast.
It gets eerily quiet, then we hear some noises coming from the west and slowly move to investigate, making sure we have at least 3 team members in cover mode. Finally as we crest a small hill we spot three thin men. The terrain does not favor us so we pull back, with only Silvers taking a shot and missing. They charge forward, the first misses Silvers, but starts a camp fire. The second flanks CW and wounds her, crap, we cannot lose her. The third comes forward as well as poisons Silvers.
Time to act now! Silvers moves out of the poison cloud and frags the thin man that has Warlord flanked, up in small pieces it goes. Gonzalez moves over and treats CW’s wounds, staunching the flow of blood. Law goes all John Wayne and rushes the thin man to our left and assassinates it, getting himself poisoned in the process, big dummy. Feeling renewed, CW knows she has to cover Laws ass and moves up to lay down suppression fire.
Warlords actions prevent the third thin man from getting off any shots, we just have to take advantage now. Warlord pulls back to reload and Gonzalez comes forward, opening up on full auto on the third alien, as it takes its last breath it grows quiet again.
The craft is to the north, so that is where we head, moving very slowly. It takes a painstakingly long time to reach the craft, but finally Gonzalez breaches the door. We enter the craft and move up to two internal doors. There is definitely something behind them and the tension mounts. We open the interior doors on both sides, one leads to an engine room and Gonzalez and Warlord move into it. The other leads to another door, so the remaining three soldiers head that way.
This ship is bigger inside than it looks outside and we finally get to what looks like a bridge, with doors on both sides. Law opens one and at last we see our quarry, a strange predator looking being. Law, sick of the pace goes John Wayne again and rushes the creature, flanking it as it crouches behind a control panel and taking it’s head off. We are done!
Summary
Operation Patient Dream - Success
Aliens killed: 7 – Excellent
Operatives lost: 0 – Excellent
Artifacts recovered
3 floater corpses, 3 thin man corpses, 38 elerium, 95 alien alloys, 12 weapon fragments, 2 UFO flight computers, 1 UFO power source, 2 damaged UFO flight computers and 1 damaged UFO power source. We can now research UFO power source, which could lead to some exciting breakthroughs.
Promotions:
Benton Gale II – Corporal, trains in squad sight, which allows a shot at any target in an allies sight radius.
David Gonzalez – Squaddie, support which gets him smoke.
Sterling Silvers II – Squaddie, sniper which gets him headshot.
It is the Da Law show as he fights like a man possessed, carrying a picture of his fallen relative and making the aliens pay to the tune of 3 kills. Benton Gale II hones his sniping skills picking off 2 more, with Silvers and Gonzalez taking out 1 each. Coffee Warlord does not get on the tally board, but her efforts in pinning the aliens down with suppression fire were invaluable early in the mission. We crank up Motley Crue in the Sky Ranger and head to “Home sweet, hommmmme.”
Sergeant Warlord will be out 6 days with her wounds, while Sterling Silvers II will be on the shelf for 4.
