XCOM: Declassified Files

by Ty MacMillan

THIS STORY WILL NO LONGER UPDATE. I recently got XCOM: Enemy Within, so I'll be restarting with a different story. Same format, just with the new changes. Keep an eye out for it!

3. Mission 1: Vengeful Sentinal

Operation Vengeful Sentinel

Cologne, Germany

March 1st, 2015

Squad members:

Rookie Holly Lee

Rookie Saida Isra

Rookie Sarah Mcintosh

Rookie Karen Jensen

Mission Brief: Abductions in the German Mainland. Big Sky dispatched with Strike 1. Orders are to eliminate Alien presence on sight.

Mission details: Big Sky touched down at 1:30 A.M. Local. Strike One deployed in the commercial district of Cologne. Rookie Isra made contact with invaders at 2:00 A.M, (Isra scored XCOM's first kill seconds after contact) Enemies responded with hostile force. (Enemies utilize some form of superheated plasma weapon, recommend collection for further study) At 2:10 A.M. Rookie Jensen made contact with a second group of E.T.'s in the Eastern Warehouse. (Jensen also scored a kill shortly after contact) Rookie Isra was pinned by enemy fire on the opposite side, near the Western building. Enemy suppresive fire was lifted by a well-placed frag grenade from Rookie Mcintosh. Rookie Lee entered the Warehouse, and eliminated the final Alien in the Operational Zone. Big Sky returned, and Strike 1 was evacuated at 3:12 A.M. No casualties, no injuries.

Kill Count

Lee: 1

Isra: 1

Mcintosh: 1

Jensen: 1

Central Officer Bradford's notes: It couldn't have been easy being the first ones to go out on a mission, but our team pulled through. I'm recommending promotions for all four squad members, and specialized training as well. Lee has some Medical experience, so I recommend she take a support role.

Isra's pretty strong (And pretty loud, but that's just between you and me, Commander.) I recommend she be given a Machine gun, and let her figure out the rest.

Although it didn't show in this mission, Mcintosh is one of our best shots, and with enough time, she could be a devious marksman.

I don't like Jensen's reckless attitude, but she got results, getting the first kill on the books, which means I owe her a drink. I say give her a shotgun, and let her work her magic.

Other than that, I think we've done well for ourselves. But I wouldn't get too comfortable. There are still a lot of countries that haven't checked in yet. I recommend we bolster our ranks, and start researching these... things. Dr. Vahlen is ready and waiting for you when you have a moment.

Non-Combat Information: None at this time.
