Sup, highlights from the missions up to now on this latest restart.


Bureau Watts dies again in video games take 3.


Shosho whatever the gently caress your name is gets suppressed by a cop firing over his head. He says he was just trying to help though, hope you forgive him!



anime gently caress pillow spitting that hot fire at lizardpeople



anime gently caress pillow interrupted while stroking off his machine gun, causing him to get quite irate also your dudes picture is goofy looking as all gently caress.



The fall (but not death) of anime gently caress pillow also notice seshoho cian laying up by the concrete barricade up there dead as gently caress



digits dies for the first time ever



I think there is a correlation between poo poo usernames and dying alot in xenonauts cause this is the third time zoq fot pik had a character named after him die hilariously. With the exception of anime gently caress pillow who got unlucky and also lived this time, bureau watts/seshosho cian/zoq fot pik always loving die to some bullshit. I can pop 100 smoke grenades and put you behind cover but you still eat poo poo.




hog butcher gets butchered, look on the brightside though you got to stand up till the start of the turn before bleedout kicked in i was hoping you'd make it




beating motherfuckers down like we the NYPD also took this guy alive for interrogation

Ok those are the highlights from the last few missions, here's the mission we just did.


Looks like we dropped in at some oil pipeline outpost or some poo poo. Squad gets spread out and gets to looking.



OH poo poo THEY SHOOTING US MAN THEY SHOOTING US! - random white people


Stash Augustine flashbangs a lizard dude so he won't come aroud the corner and shoot the poo poo out of us. these guys are notorious for blitzing on you and blasting your poo poo. its cause they have a permanent case of myopia apparently but that doesn't seem to stop them from killing random dudes behind cover all the way down the street. gently caress these guys for real


DJ Borneo spots two aliens and a pinned down soldier



got em



We couldn't save the soldier though, it took a turn to get contra moved up to Kip's position and to get DJ Borneo around the building to seal the deal.


Stash draws reaction fire so DJ Borneo can move up and put this guy to sleep, forever.


DJ Borneo and Contra take him out. The rest of the squad doubles back to move on the UFO.


I wonder if lizard people had to hop turnstiles to get on the subway when they were broke back in the day.



dont gently caress this up please tia ok cool we avoided another xenonaut blowing himself up with explosives



#rekt




Stash is hit and goes down. Kip and Action Tortoise both bag them one a piece.



fuckfuckfuck




LSTD and Gazza flick the switch onto burst and blast the gently caress out of those aliens. That was for Action Tortoise ya bitch! No one gives a gently caress about Stash, everyone expects the shield bitch to die at some point. Thats why he has the shield.



CONTRA!


Rannos the 22nd gets revenge for her squaddies and poo poo.


Victory


what in the galactic gently caress is alenium



In 5 days, we'll have enough body armor to outfit the entire squad. The poo poo is pricy and we need to save up to be able to produce foxtrots for the panama base and the laser weapons we're trying to get researched. Speaking of which.



Hopefully this smarmy gently caress doesn't take too long. We got men dying out there! And occasionally some women too. I dunno they all look blue to me from up in HQ so v0v.

I gotcha.


Ok after those couple of missions the squad lineup is looking kinda sparse, time to bring in a new crew.



Radar coverage at the Panama base should be operational within the week.


this is a thing about ufos





reinforcements have arrived

also I have 2 snipers in reserves who need names so feel free to post some up!

I was sad when I thought your guy bought it. Also the medical center is built so that means you'll be back in 12 days.
anime gently caress pillow will be back in rotation in 4, in time to get issued new body armor so he hopefully won't loving die hilariously.
And DJ Borneo will be getting out of medical around the same time your dude is so yeah thats that.

Oh yeah we got another ufo. Have some screenshots.


A few more soldiers arrive to round out the strike teams. We're now full up at Cyprus with engineers/scientists and soldiers.


UFO detected, we scramble a pair of foxtrots to kill it since they are the fastest planes we have available.



got em

Everyone is dead except kip and silver alacorn, silver alacorn berserked and shot at kip 3 times and missed. Kip got shot and lived which is more than I can say the same for most of the team. Also I had silver alacorn shoot nigga bowser cause nigga bowser was being a bitch nigga. :toot:

edit: silver alacorn failed to burst down a purpleshirt and got killed even though the guy was suppresed. Mainly cause they were both within 2 tiles of eachother so missing was kinda impossible.

double edit: we won, kip was the sole survivor, miss unique managed to be saved from death gg

we fought robot people and took them down with m16s and shotguns. Oh yeah the scout car made its debut, newly renamed sizzlechest after one LT KIP SIZZLECHEST. It blew up tons of bitches. Miss Cumroy died when a robot person ate her entire shotgun blast without being damaged at all and then shot her dead. rip



New research options, this'll lead to a new dropship for us. We also have 4 laser rifles and 2 laser carbines (shotgun equivalents) in stock here at cyprus. This should help us deal more easily with guys like this.




These drones don't really damage you too heavily but they suppress the gently caress out of you and hide. By themselves, you can deal but when under attack by say robot people and poo poo, it can cause a disaster.


A new UFO, this ones a medium class. We'll be seeing more of these. Alot more.


New squad lineup, note the return of anime gently caress pillow to active duty. We just shot down 2 scout ufos back to back and are gonna raid them both one after the other if things work out. We gotta get our new corporals trained up. We need someone to fill the void Kip left when she died rip again btw. But before I do that, I need to get some food in me and play some planetside or something. Tune in tommorow! Or maybe later tonight to see what happens next on Xenonauts!

Im starting to wonder if there's a limit on good soldiers in the roster. It refreshes the 1st of every month as well as whenever I recruit like 2 or more soldiers. We're down to 40 TU soldiers who aren't good shots but have high reflexes and poo poo so I might have to put them into the fire and hope they level the gently caress out of their TUs in combat. 3 TU a tile, 1 TU to make a 45 degree turn and poo poo, 3 to take a knee and aim better/get harder to hit. TU's are precious. Literally the only reason I didn't abort the previous mission that Kip was alive in was cause you had 70+ TU and great accuracy. I literally just had you pick up a shotgun off a dead guy and blast fools to wrap things up. Your duder moved that fast.
