Christel finally after days being in bed is finally now wounded free again putting her armour back on and takes her Plasma Sniper Rifle as she tries to re-think her thoughts about now the aquatic aliens can communicate through her implant to tell her about what's happening in Earth. Should they or Earth be in trouble what could she do to assist at all since she is all the way in the alien city in Mars but she thinks there is nothing to be worried about because the Gillman that spoke to her through the implant said so it makes her feel more re-assured. She knows now what she needs to do is just continue fighting in the war to stop the Ethereals from their goal which is destroy Earth and Mars. She walks around the base as she is now waiting for a call out to battle as there is not much she can do yet. While she makes her way to the Control room she hears an alien calling out to her. "Hey human. Can you come over here?" She hears an alien says as she turns around it's a Sectoid which seems to be in a large robotic suit of some sort. "Y-Yeah what is it?..." She asks nervously again going to the Sectoid wondering what is it wanting with Christel. "As you can see I am no longer a Sectoid now since I have been augmented into a Mechtoid" It says which surprises Christel to hear that it just said the words 'Augmented into a Mechtoid' to her. "So I just wanted to ask if we can team up so I can try out the weaponry since this is a prototype" The Mechtoid says showing to Christel that it has 2 large green guns for arms surprising Christel even more. "Y-Yeah of course...M-Mechtoid right?..." She says as the Mechtoid seems to smile at her. "Come on then Captain let's go into the training room to-" It says but gets interrupted by the sound of an alarm which Christel knows it means a potential attack from the enemies is under way. "Come on let's get to the Control Room now. We can use this as an opportunity for your training" Christel says as they both rush their way to the Control Room for instructions from The Commander.
They both make their way into the Control Room where all the other aliens are. She and the Mechtoid stand behind the Chryssalid and the Viper as The Commander is giving out instructions out to the aliens about the which UFO type to fly and which enemy UFO to chase or shoot down as she waits for what mission she is going to be on with the Mechtoid since she has promised to team up with it. "Christel I want you and a chosen partner to go on a Terror Mission immediately" The Commander says as the Chryssalid, the Viper and the Mechtoid looks at her as she knows they think they are going to be chosen by her. "I-I'm sorry...B-But I'm going to take...th-the Mechtoid..." Christel says nervously hoping the other 2 won't be upset or mad. "It's you choice Christel. I respect that" The Chryssalid says as the Viper seems to smile at her. "We'll both go together then human, we'll see you soon because we will be on the same mission" The snake like alien says which seems to surprise Christel. "S-Same mission?...S-So we will...be in the same craft?..." Christel asks thinking maybe she needn't need to worry at all if they are going together. "Oh no Christel we will be in a different location but we will be still in the same area in the same location" The Chryssalid says as the 4 of them leave the room making their way to the hanger. "What happened to that Sectoid by the way Christel?" The Chryssalid asks her making Christel remind herself what it told her earlier. "It's...A Mechtoid now...It's been augmented" She says back which seems to make both aliens be a little confused like she is making no sence to them at all. "I'll explain later lets just get to the Terror Ships now" The Mechtoid says as they enter the Hanger and makes their way into the crafts. Christel sits at the far end with the Mechtoid sitting in front of her as they are waiting for other aliens to enter the craft. "So human what is the plan of attack here because you are the leader for this mission" The Mechtoid says to Christel. She looks at the Mechtoid then turns her head around seeing the other aliens on board are also looking at her.
"O-OK then we should stay close and keep in cover at all times. We should'nt rush because it's not a good idea to do that" She says since she never did a brief before in Earth let alone to the aliens in the war. The aliens all looking at her nods as they are arming their weapons. "OK human so we won't rush this at all?" The Mechtoid asks sounding like she just said something that is to them inpracticle or stupid. "Why do that? Why not just get stuck into the battle?" The Metchoid asks to her which Christel tries to think of an answer to give to it. "W-Well we need to be cautious b-because we don't know how many of them are there" She says nervously having doubts about actually being a leader for this team of aliens. "OK then human we will follow your plan. Maybe this can work because we normally just go straight in" The Mechtoid says as 2 aliens looking at her which 1 is a Snakeman while the other being a Chryssalid which is a different 1 to her friend since it doesn't have the buff on it's arm nod to her. "I like this plan. They won't know what hits them. And it means we can use this beauty here to scout them out" The Snakeman says showing her that sitting next to it is a Cyberdisk that appears to be de-activated. "O-Oh...Yeah so we know where they are...and we don't risk 1 of us instead" She adds hoping her tactic will pay off now to be useful now she knows there is a Cyberdisk at their disposal. "Wh-Who controls this thing?" She asks wondering who would be controlling it. "Controlling it? It's automated human" The Mechtoid says as the UFO lands on the ground and they all leave the craft but they all stay around the craft instead of immediatly running into battle.
"OK human let's get this Cyberdisk running now!" She hears 1 of the aliens say to her as 3 different kind of aliens goes back into the craft to get it running again as they quickly leave the craft again with the Cyberdisk active. "OK how do we get it to follow directions?" Christel asks knowing it's not remotally controlled but she wonders how to tame it properly. "Don't worry about it human. It'll find it's own way around this area" A Sectoid says to her as the floating disk floats ahead of everybody. "Let's follow where it's going but lets stay behind it" She says to the team which all nods at her. "OK let's go" She says as they start following the floating disk arming their weapons prepared for any oncoming attacks. "Human can I make a suggestion here?" She hears an alien say to her. "Of course what is it?" She says wanting to give the alien a chance to have it's say to her. "Do you think we should just split up? So we can cover the area more quickly" It says to Christel making her think maybe she should just follow the idea but at the same time she feels like it'll make them more vulnerable since it would be at least 2 smaller groups then just 1 big group together. "Well...OK then maybe we'll do that then" She says deciding to split up is probably a wiser decision since they could cover up the area more quickly. "OK then who are the engineers to control this thing?" She asks refering to the Cyberdisk as it keeps moving forward away from the team. "I am here" A Sectoid says to her then another alien a Snakeman also claims to be one. "OK we will go with the disk and the prototype the others go as the other group then" Christel says to everyone which they nod as the other group starts to head in another direction leaving the group with her behind as they go to follow the Cyberdisk while Christel then hears the voice of The Commander which she quickly realises it's from her implant. "Christel be careful in this mission, yous are trying to recover data which contains where the Etherals are. I'd be careful since there should be heavy resistance from the enemies" The Commander says making her quickly realise this mission she is in is more dangerous and important than she thought it was going to be. "O-OK then Commander where is this data?" She asks wanting to know more information about the location if it's in a building or is it underground or wherever it is. "I'm searching for the location keep looking but be prepared for oncoming attacks or traps" The Commander says but then she hears 1 of the engineers shouting out to her. "Incoming fire here!" She hears it say as Christel quickly turns around seeing 2 Mutons with large green grey weapons pointing towards them. "Quick get in cover!" Christel and the Mechtoid quickly shout as they quickly run but Christel sees that there is nothing to get cover from as it's a completely open area they are in. She turns around going down on 1 knee grabbing the Plasma Sniper Rifle from her back and takes aim to the enemies firing at her and the Mechtoid alongside her.
She returns the shots back at the Mutons and soon she knocks both of the aliens down. But she could now feel something pounding her head. She grabs onto her head falling to her knees with the feeling of pain starting to grow inside her. "Human!" A voice she could hear is coming from a distance away from her as her vision is starting to blur with a different voice is starting to sound in her head "Christel Heinsch...You'll efforts to win the war for The Sectoid Commander is in vain...I think we need to change you to one of us so. Planet Earth should get the vengance from those pesky aliens" The voice says to Christel as she can feel her body being dragged on the ground while she can hear sounds of gunfire and shouting noises that she can't understand what they're saying and all of a sudden everything seems to become quiet. After what seems to be like for a long time she can feel whoever grabbed her body let go but now Christel can feel herself sort of standing upright with her limbs seems to be tied down what feels like metal. Christel moans a little as she is slowly regaining conscioussness
