Any luck? Nope none at all. Then to make it even worse I find out that the Notre Dame fan of the family might still be alive. What did they do, anally probe him till he felt compelled to not be anally probed anymore?

Calm down. No matter how bad the alien defences, I doubt GB could manage to get fourteen people killed on one mission. Especially with only ten people going along.
Reporting for duty, sir! |

Aren't there 3 missions (so 30 troops) going on right now? Granted, that's a much higher rate than normal, but all it takes is one (or four) psi turns to really mess up a mission.

I would like to file a formal protest with the medals boards. This is what happened in Mission 21:
"But suddenly the UFO door slides open, and standing in the frame is another Snakeman. Kerillini II reacts like lightning from the rear of the line, and opens up on full auto. His first shot sails into the side of the UFO, but his second sails horribly right and slams into the back of Al Hill! Oh no! Al wails in pain and falls face first in the sand! Blood wells up into the hole in his back, and starts to overflow onto the hot desert sand. Things look grim for Al! Kerillini II has shot him! Before any of the men can react, the UFO door slides shut, with the Snakeman still safe inside. Within seconds Al stops moving; he is dead! X-COM 3, Aliens 1! Damn it!" Not panicked or mind-controlled, Kerillini shot my grandfather in the back and killed him in cold blood. At worst, he should get a Doh Medal, but he really should get a more serious medal of dishonor. I demand SATISFACTION! My grandfather shall not die in vain. |

Didn't mean to scare anyone. We have lost some men, including a high ranking officer, but most of this call up is to fill out USA COM and get some people to defend SAM COM and AFRICA COM.
Mission 77 coming up shortly. Maybe missions 78 & 79 later tonight. |

77th Mission: Ethereals in Montana
Captain Jeff Nights II looks out the window of the Skyranger as it makes its way down to the farmlands of rural Montana. He does not like what he sees: night and a sea of dark clouds below him. The ASIA COM Skyranger raced against darkness to assault the small, Ethereal-piloted scout that crash-landed here, but darkness won. Not only that, but a nasty storm front has moved in, and we can expect cold, hard rain to further complicate the situation. Rather than have the men fly back 10 hours and do the whole trip over again, USA COM gave the order to attack. Humm. It’s October 13. It’s dark. It’s raining. We’re going up against Ethereals. The omens are not good. Our troops today: Left Side: 1. Alf III (Heavy Plasma, Power Suit) 2. Render II (Blaster Launcher, Power Suit) 3. Travis III (Heavy Plasma, Power Suit) 4. Jeff Nights II (Heavy Plasma, Power Suit) 5. Danny Van Halen (Heavy Plasma, Power Suit) Right Side: 1. Glengoyne (Heavy Plasma, Power Suit) 2. Thomkal II (Heavy Plasma, Power Suit) 3. Rich (Heavy Plasma, Power Suit) 4. 3ric IV (Heavy Plasma, Power Suit) 5. Jeeber D (Heavy Plasma, Power Suit) The men scan the dark wetness outside as the Skyranger drops the final 200 meters to the battlefield below. Between the rain, the turbulence, and the darkness, we have a hard time making out much of anything. Radar shows we’re coming down on the east side of the battlefield. We can see some shacks directly out in front of where we’ll exit the Skyranger. Looks like fields to our left. There appears to be some kind of two-story building right at the nose of the craft. Other than that, we can’t see jack. The Skyranger drops the final meters and slams to the ground. The men bounce violently in the back of the Skyranger. Before we get settled, the gate drops away into the darkness… Alarms! We can just make out the gold cloak of an Ethereal, in a field, about 20 yards in front of us, and slightly to the left. We run our tank down the ramp and into the rain. Glengoyne and Thomkal II follow quickly behind it, but hold at the edge of the ramp. Our tank reaches the bottom, spins… Another Ethereal, about 20 yards away, in a field off to the left of the Skyranger’s nose! Glengoyne drops to a knee at the edge of the Skyranger ramp, and lines up the first Ethereal. His heavy plasma barks green fire, and tracers tear off towards the field… Bingo! The Ethereal screams and falls to the wet ground with a splash! Nice shot! Almost at the same time, Thomkal II exits the Skyranger, jumps left, rolls, and comes up firing at the second Ethereal. Shots race toward the enemy, who was caught unawares by the speed of Thomkal’s movement. A plasma blast tears through the creature. It screams and drops! Yes! Alf III exits the Skyranger and takes up a firing position by the right landing gear. X-COM 2, Aliens 0. Suddenly, we hear some kind of rocket go off, and the front of the Skyranger is engulfed in a large explosion. Dirt goes flying and a wave of smoke rolls over Thomkal and Alf. The two men frantically look for signs of the Ethereal, but all they can see in the rain and smoke is the large two-story building at the nose of the Skyranger. We’ll guess that our enemy lies in the building. Jeff Nights II orders the men in the Skyranger to clear a firing lane for Render, who plots a quick course to the building and lets fly with a Blaster Launcher missile from the Skyranger bay. The rocket races in a large loop then slams into the brick of the first floor wall. The entire floor erupts in a tremendous blast that sends brick, wood, and debris cartwheeling off into the rainy night. Alf III gets up and quickly advances on the ravaged structure. There! In the flames and smoke of the interior, he spots an Ethereal trying to get out, about 20 yards away! Alf drops to a knee and opens fire. Plasma blasts tear into the building and slam into the Ethereal, who screams and drops out of sight! X-COM 3, Aliens 0.  An X-COM agent advances on a destroyed house in Montana. October, 2003. X-COM Archives Photo And that is the last alien! Another short mission! Well done, men! No casualties! Kills: Alf III, 1; Thomkal II, 1; Glengoyne, 1. KIA: None. Wounded: None Attribute Improvements: Alf III, Thomkal II, Glengoyne, Render II. Final score: 93 Mission Notes: Another mission in which more than half our men don’t even get out of the Skyranger. Sorry, guys! Looks like our luck was ok after all! Next up, EU COM hits the Supply Ship in England. Last edited by Godzilla Blitz : 10-04-2003 at 03:10 PM. |

Ughh was afraid this would happen! Been too busy to follow lately, and I get called up!
Now I have to hurry up and catch up on the goings on! Ready for duty though! Although I'll admit I'm a bit concerned about how quickly I moved up the waiting list.  |

Welcome to our new agents reporting in. Just as a quick reminder in case you missed it, your first assignments will not likely be the most exciting, but here they are:
USA COM: Airhog II, Anxiety II, Blade6119 IV, Klayman III You guys will be seeing battle right away, but won't get the full press coverage that our EU COM and ASIA COM glory hounds get. Do well and you'll be shipped off for the big leagues over there, so keep you head up and your sights on the enemy! SAM COM Guard Duty: Aesyrqwe, Chuck U Farley, Psycho Cop II, Calis, Tucker II Your duty will be to protect our valuable manufacturing facility at this base. It must not fall into enemy hands. AFRICA COM Guard Duty: Sachmo III, Katon II, Marmel II, Crash Davis, Mike Vic This base is currently under construction, but don't worry, Sterling Ice tells me that they have stopped the swamp water from leaking in through the roof. This base isn't worth jack yet, but we've invested a lot of money in it, and we don't want it falling into enemy hands. Defend it with your lives! And to fill you in on possible transfers... USA COM agents will be transferred to EU COM or ASIA COM as openings arise (i.e. someone dies), based on agent number (low has priority) and acceptance of duty (reply in thread). SAM COM agents will be transferred to USA COM automatically, based on agent number, when openings arise. AFRICA COM agents will be transferred to SAM COM automatically, based on agent number, when openings arise. For people that don't check in within 48 hours, I'll be bumping you all up the line and calling more replacements in, so if you're still on the waiting list, I'd say the chances are outstanding you'll can have a uniform within 48 hours. People in bold have reported for duty already. Regular type have not answered their phones yet. For those of your unfamiliar with our bases, SAM COM is located under a verdant swamps in the jungles of northern Argentina, only 35 miles from the village of Los Blancos (video store opening in 2005!) and a mere 700 miles (about 17 days travel by swamp rider) from the wild nightlife of Beunos Aires! We've stuffed this base with all kinds of things to help you pass away the hours: a deck of cards (jokers included!), Chess Digest (June 2003 issue!), and a blazing fast Macintosh SE computer (software coming soon!) are sure to keep you entertained for hours and hours! Enjoy your stay! One of the nice things about this base is that the malaria risk is signficantly lower than that of... ...our AFRICA COM base, which is under a swamp in a jungle in western Zaire. This base is located 50 miles from the town of Bifale (pop. 59!) and a quick 1300 miles (about 23 days by elephant, camel, and rickety bus) from the nearest MacDonalds in Cairo, Egypt. Our AFRICA COM has all the amenities that you've come to expect at our X-COM bases: a working radio, Teletubbie videos (we'll try to get a tv/vcr down there soon!), and a checker board (with all pieces!). We're sure these things will keep you happy for days! Be sure to enjoy your stay, and just remember, you guys have it good compared to the next guys that sign up. That's right, coming soon to an X-COM agency near you: ANT COM. That's Antarctica COM, for those of you wondering if it had anything to do with little insects.

Whoot Two Missions two kills.
I am carving the silhouettes in my head board at the base. So far one Muton, one Ethereal. Phrase I am heard most often saying: "Yes that 'shape' IS a muton. Look Have you ever killed one?" |

Jeff: Yup. The big 20! Let's go for that 20-20!
Mr. Bug IV: You're in the current battle. Glengoyne: When you're at the front of the Skyranger on hot landings, you pretty much have to make a kill or you die. Just keep hitting and you should be fine. Real: Ah, the Doh Award! I forgot about that one. When I read mission 21, I didn't think Kerillini II deserved a Cowardice Pin. Shooting your dad had nothing to do with cowardice. Incompetence yes, cowardice no. But you are absolutely right, he definitely deserves a Kodos Doh award. That's what that award was made for. Blade6119: "Plague"? You overestimate your power. Try "flea". Illinifan: Well, it was unlucky you got hit, but really lucky you didn't die! Look on the bright side! You'll get another medal! Isn't that your second Purple Heart? Superman: And you'll be happy to know that SAM COM finished the hovertank and is starting on a new fighter for you! Now you should be able to take on bigger stuff! |

Yellow Pin of Cowardice: This demerit is given to an X-COM agent for cowardice in the face of battle, for actions detrimental to the name and honor of the X-COM unit, or for incompetence that leads to the death and injury of civilians and or fellow X-COM agents.
I believe that Kerilini's actions in killing my grandfather would amount to "incompetence that leads to the death...of..fellow X-COM agents." I DEMAND JUSTICE! JUSTICE I SAY! |

Dola. GB, since you now have yourself a daughter, I present to you the rules which you will need to learn in roughly 13 years.
10 Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter: Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk, you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up. Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them. Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist. Rule Four: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate: When it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you. Rule Five: Don't think that in order for us to get to know each other we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early." Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry. Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like change the oil in my car? Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: * Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. * Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. * Places where there is darkness. * Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. * Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose-down parka zipped up to her throat. * Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which feature chainsaws are okay. * Hockey games are okay. * Old folks homes are better. Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a pot-bellied, balding, middle-aged, dim-witted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me. Rule Ten: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy outside of Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car-there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine. |

The sad thing is that the first time i took out my current gf(im 17), her dad pulled me inside, sat me down, and gave me this...i had seen it before, but i was suprised he did this...So i found a 10 rules for being my date's dad and handed it to him the next time i took her out along with a typed report of what happened on the first date in accordancw with his rules(with a few modifications of the truth..
). He liked it so much he told his daughter, not me, that if she hurts me she will be in big trouble...

PsychoCop II reporting!
Not too happy about the babysitting job, though... but, heck, I'll do my part in defending the Earth from the alien menace!
