After 20 years of alien occupation, the Resistance finally has its trump card: The Commander. But for their plans to work, they need the troops on the field to play their part. Half AAR, half narrative, this will be a retelling and partial re-imagining of XCOM 2's plot, loosely based on a completed playthrough, and through the eyes of a varied cast of soldiers.

Unfortunately, it's a trap set by the Ethereals. A trap that the female leadership of X-Com has walked right into... WARNING: Mature Themes Abound!

It became very clear that this was not your everyday Sergeant who was addressing me. No, this was the voice of complete authority. Pure and utter respect was demanded from that voice, and nothing less would do. A small shiver of fear and admiration ran through my body. Not only because of what they meant, but because of who they were delivered by. "Drew Crawford, Squad Lockdown."

Local city psychologist gets stalked by apex predator, dies horribly.

Hello! I wrote this little story in homage to my friend and I, who's soldiers fought during a particularly nasty resistance haven assault. This is my first ever story here, so any criticism or feedback is truly appreciated!

A Viper is taken down and taken captive by a team including Sniper Corporal 'Zero' on a mission to destroy an Advent radio transmitter. After Dr. Tygan refuses to experiment on a live subject, everyone, the Commander included, is unsure of what to do with their new hostage.

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.
