X-Com has always been a diverse organization. It has been in existence for a long time and there are secrets within secrets hidden from everyone. I started writing this back in 1999 but it fizzled. Here we go again. There will be spoilers from lots of old X-Com games as well as the newer ones and references to my works. This is a fanfiction, I own no rights to any X-Com title.

Follows Pillow Central and co's attempts to inform and prevent, as well as some inner self discovery along the way.

What is purpose? Without purpose what is will, without will what reason is there to have purpose? To have neither is to have no purpose, for I am what I am and I have reason. I am leashed to powers, to beings beyond me and I accept it. My will grants me reason, guides me and that is something that cannot be allowed. I am Retribution, for my will is my reason and that is dangerous.
