Christel wakes back up yawning and gets out of her bed. As she gets out of her bed she sees there's an alien in the other bed seemingly asleep. She takes a closer look but makes sure she doesn't wake the alien which turns out it was a Chryssalid and she notices it has the blue wristband she made for it which surprises Christel not knowing she shared the room with the alien that seems to show up a lot wherever she is. She leaves the room and walks her way to the Control Room but as she is on her way, she sees the captive with a weapon, a grey green pistol similar to the weapon The Commander gave her until her Sniper Rifle and Psi Armour is given back. Christel walks to the the Viper not sure why it is freed and armed. The Viper looks at Christel and pulls a smile at her. "Hello there human" It says going to her. "Hello there. What happened? They're letting you go?" She asks wanting to understand what's happening. "No they let me join this side since they understand that what those Ethereals wants" The Viper explains which brings questions up for Christel. "What do they want?" She asks curiously as she is still trying to understand why these Ethereals are attacking the side of aliens she is on but potentially Earth. "It's not nice to tell you this human but the Ethereals are wanting to exterminate all life on this universe except their own to dominate this universe" The Viper explains which puts Christel into shock about what the enemies are wanting to do but why? Why would they want to do this? "Why would they want to do all this?" Christel feeling a bit more worried. "I don't know what is it that makes him choose this but I will help stop it from happening" The Viper says as the alarm sounds saying there is an attack going on. "Come on we better get to The Control Room now" Christel says taking the Viper to the Control Room with her. The Commander and it's assistants looks up to the large screens seeing there's an attack just outside a base. "We need to stop this attack immediately. Our other base is now under attack, we need the best crew to get there. Christel take the new recruit with you immediately" The Commander says as Christel nods then she turns her head to the Viper. "Come on we better get going now" She says as they both head to the Hanger as there is a large UFO ready for them. She sees it's the same kind of ship they called a Terror Ship. They both get on board the craft and waits for other crew to come aboard. After a quick wait there are about 10 or 15 more aliens aboard as the craft starts to lift off the ground to fly to the other base.
While the UFO is finally flying out of the Hanger Christel notices that same Chryssalid happens to be on the same Chryssalid that keeps showing up because she once again sees it wearing the wristband. She wonders how does she keeps ending up coming across this 1 alien. Is it coincidence or is it something else? The Chryssalid turns it's head to her and gets up and goes to her and sits beside her. "Hello there human" It says smiling while Christel smiles back a little nervously "H-Hello there..." Christel says back nervously as the Viper watches on as it hasn't been able to feel like he is part of the force, more of still their captive. Christel looks at the Viper and places her hand on the snake like alien's hand which the Viper looks up to her looking a little surprised. "It's OK your 1 of us now. Remember that OK?" Christel say smiling a little to the Viper. "Y-Yeah you right human. I...I just..." It says before the Chryssalid butts into the conversation. "Basically your our fighter. You have our lead to stop this war" the Chryssalid says as the Viper looks at the purple grey alien and then at Christel seemingly confused as the craft lands on the ground. "Ok team let's go now!" A Snakeman calls out as all the aliens exit the craft and enter inside a pyramid similar to where the entrance of the base The Commander runs. They enter into the Access Lift which is the entrance into the base, as they descend down they can hear shots being fired which is worrying Christel because her equipment is inside and is also worried for the crew working in the base that they could all be dead before it's all over, if they can stop it.
They make it inside and the entire crew rushes ahead leaving Christel, the Viper and the Chryssalid behind together. "Let's stick together Captain, we are a great team just us 3" The Chryssalid says as Christel nods getting out the green and grey pistol out of her pocket as the 3 of them makes their way down the hallway quietly hearing movement nearby getting a little louder by each second. "Guys someone is something" Christel says pulling out of her pocket the green grey pistol as the Viper has it's pistol ready to use. They slow their paces down as the sound of movement is getting louder and louder as they stop by a the end of the corridor as they start hearing firing going on. Christel sees a shot nearly hits her but she feels the claws of the Chryssalid grabbing her shirt pulling her back as she sees the Viper opening fire down the hallway where the shot came from but then stops. "It's OK I got it" the Viper says grabbing her shirt pulling her back onto her feet. "Come on let's keep going now" The Chryssalid says walking ahead of them down the hallway. They pass by a room which Christel is not paying attention to the room at all. "Hey human. Isn't that your stuff there?" The Chryssalid says pointing at the room which Christel looks and sees the Psi Armour and the Plasma Sniper Rifle. "Y-Yeah they are" She says surprised as they head into the room. They see the room is completely wrecked showing there was a sign of attack. She quickly grabs her Armour which seems to be intact and the Sniper Rifle that were tucked away in the corner of the room. She puts on the armour."OK we should get going. Fast" Christel says as she hears sound of firing again closely. "Guys get down" She says going down on 1 knee by the wall so she is below the window so she can't be seen, the Viper and Chryssalid looks at her looking like she doesn't know what she is doing but then she looks up seeing them both now being under fire. Christel quickly gets back up seeing another Viper firing at the Chryssalid and the Viper, she quickly smashes the glass with the Sniper Rifle and hits the enemy on the head by the end of the Rifle knocking it to the floor with it's weapon thrown across the room. "Wow that was pretty impressive human" The Chryssalid says as Christel looks down to the enemy Viper. "He's only unconscious guys, I didn't kill it" She says as the Chryssalid. "Yous 2 go on ahead I'll catch up with yous" It says as the Viper grabs her arm and takes her down the hallway without the Chryssalid as Christel knows in her head what is going on but tries not to think about it.
"Human how did your stuff end up here anyway?" The Viper asks Christel seemingly confused. "They wanted to learn how XCOM made them from that last war" She says to it which makes the Viper give a surprised reaction. "XCOM? Your from XCOM?" It asks as the snake like alien seems to want to know more but Christel shakes her head. "No...My father was but...He destroyed that Temple UFO...He sacrificed his life to save Earth...And...The weapon and Armour...Is all I have to remember him..." Christel says as tears starts to run down her cheek showing it's really hit her hard as the Viper wraps it's snake tail around her. "I'm sorry human...to hear that happening. Now I'm hearing it...I wished it never happened now..." The Viper says looking sad as Christel hugs it trying to get some comfort as the Viper watches her doing so and returns the hug. "Don't cry human. I know your father will be proud to see what your doing no other human gets to do" The Viper says as it releases her from it's tail and arms. "Yeah...L-Let's stop this base from being taken down" She says as they go into a nearby room and sees it's empty and it looks like it was some manufacturing room before being completely obliterated by the enemies that raided this base they are in. "How many were attacking this base I mean, we haven't heard much fighting going on in here" The Viper asks exiting the room. "I'm not sure but we better move it" Christel as they both then hear a shot being fired and feels her back being hit thrown her onto the floor hitting her head hard "ARGH!" Christel says loudly as she hears the Viper shouting "Hey!" while opening fire. Christel can feel her head and back aching in pain and feels her head also buzzing like crazy as if this implant in her head is vibrating like mad as she is slowly starting to black out hearing the Viper calling her name in a sort of echoing voice then it becomes silence as she shuts her eyes.
She soon slowly opens her eyes up again seeing the Viper looking down to her and also sees the Chryssalid had returned. "Human are you badly hurt?" The Chryssalid asks grabbing her armour with it's crab like claws. Christel yells in pain feeling her back is agonisingly painful. "No put the human back down. It's been wounded, we got to get help for it" The Viper says as the purple grey alien places her gently back onto the floor. "Get help I'll defend it at all costs" The Viper says to the Chryssalid as it shakes it's head. "No way I won't leave it to die!" The Chryssalid says clearly unhappy to be told to leave her. "G-Guys?..." Christel asks to try to get them to stop arguing. "What's wrong human?" The Viper asks as Christel points her head to a room beside them. "Let's get it in there now" The Chryssalid says as it goes around Christel then uses it's grabs Christel's arms with the crab like claws dragging her into the room even though the pain on her back is really hard to cope since her back is being dragged on the floor. The Chryssalid lets go of her when she is inside the room as the Viper closes the door on both of them. "Wh-What's...going on?..." Christel says a bit weakly as she is now finding it hard now to stay awake. "Human? Are you OK?" The Chryssalid says going down to its knees looking down at her. Christel nods a little though her eyes closes and opens again then closes again and opens again as she is drifting slowly out of consciousness. The Chryssalid keeps watching her and gently grabs her Psi-Armour shaking her. "Wake up human! You can't go to sleep now!" The purple grey alien says loudly as it keeps shaking her. While she is been shaken she can feel the implant is vibrating in her skull making the pain even worse. "S-Stop...M-My head is going...t-to explode..." Christel says as the Chryssalid stops letting go of her standing up then it looks around the room and then walks off. "Wh...Where you going?..." She asks watching the purple grey alien walk to the other side of the room looking at what looks like a grey disk. "Hey look human. There's a Cyberdisc here" It says using the claws to pulls the disk towards her. "A...A Cyberdisc?..." She asks as she has no idea what this disk is. "The Cyberdisc is our fighting machines, it can run on it's own without anyone controlling them, it's equipped with plasma cannons and a grenade. We can get this running but I don't know how to activate it and you're badly hurt human. We'll need an Engineer to do that" The Chryssalid explains sitting on top of this Cyberdisc as it seems to look at the window outside the room. "Wh-What's wrong?..." She asks wondering what it's looking at. "I feel like me and your friend needs to get into the action more right now" It says getting up off the Cyberdisc. "I wish you could get into the action also human but I'm sure the enemy won't find you in here" The Chryssalid says heading for the door. "W-Wait...Y...You'll need this..." She says taking her armour off and slides it on the floor towards the Chryssalid. "Y-Your protection? I can't take that off you human!" It says looking surprised. "T-Take it...I-If they can't find me here...Y-You should be protected so y-you could do...th-that thing you do..." She says hoping the purple grey alien understands why she is wanting the Chryssalid to take the Psi-Armour. "W-Well OK human but when it's all over I will come back" It says putting on the armour and walks out the room leaving Christel alone with the de-activated Cyberdisc.
Christel can hear nothing like everything has become silent as she can feel some kind of liquid she is laying on. She uses her hand to feel this strange liquid she is on. She rubs her finger on it and looks at her finger and sees it is red making her realise she is actually bleeding to death which explains to her why is finding it so hard to move any part of her body apart from her neck as she is slowly drifting to sleep again, she keeps trying to force herself to stay conscious but to no avail she passes out. What appears to be hours later to her she can hear the door opening while in her head she hopes it was the Chryssalid who has her Psi-Armour on but then hears the voice of The Commander instead. "I see you left Christel here then. Why?" The Commander says sounding displeased. "I did it because it was to keep it hidden from the enemies Commander" The voice says as Christel can tell it was the Chryssalid that The Commander is having words with. "I am not pleased that it got abandoned here with this Cyberdisc and in vulnerable condition, the Engineers have not finished the targeting system. What if an enemy activated it. It would have targeted for Christel for goodness sake! Don't let this ever happen again!" The Commander says loudly and in her head terrifyingly since she never heard it being this angry before as she feels The Commander grabbing her arms being pulled across the floor and is kept dragging along then is stopped moving and letten go from The Commander's grasp but she hears it talking loudly. "Get a medic here now! We can't let our survivor die!" It says as Christel remembers The Commander saying she is there to lead them to victory and is questioning herself if she is actually doing or is she just digging them in a deeper hole of this entire war? "OK let's get going now!" She hears The Commander call out loudly making her think she has been put back inside the UFO to get back to the main base but then to her everything is becoming silent for her as if she is dying from her wound. She can feel her body being shaken but she can't hear anyone calling out to her or anyone saying anything at all.
"Christel?! Christel are you still alive?!" The Commander says shaking her body trying to wake her back up. "Commander, the human's heart is stopping press where it's heart is now" It hears a Medic through it's device and quickly starts to press Christel's chest hoping to keep her heart beating to hopefully revive her. "Keep pressing it's heart until the craft gets back to base if the human hasn't regained conscious Commander" The Medic says to The Commander as it keeps on pressing her chest hoping Christel can wake back up. As The Commander keeps on trying Christel starts to cough a little giving The Commander a sign she is going to be OK now. Christel is slowly able to open her eyes as she can see The Commander on it's knees pressing her chest to her it's doing CPR on her. "Christel are you OK?" The Commander as it keeps pressing her chest. She tries to say "Yes" but she can't say so she just nods a little to give a sign to say she is. "Don't worry we are almost back to the base now just hang in there" It says as it keeps giving her CPR.
The UFO eventually makes it's way back inside the base as everyone inside the craft leaves except The Commander and Christel as another crew enters the craft. The Commander looks up to them and gets up. "Don't worry Commander we got this now" 1 of the crew says as The Commander exits the aircraft leaving Christel inside the aircraft with the crew as it makes it's way back into the Control Room worried about Christel about if she is going to be alive or dead.
Can Christel survive? Or is it all hopeless to save the saviour of this war?
