Operation: Crimson Hero
March 25th, 2015
2:39 A.M.
Baltimore, Maryland, United States.
Squad:
Rookie Kiril Malakhov
Rookie Ima Ilyushin
Rookie Frieda Schulz
Rookie Francesca Conti
Big Sky touched down at 2:42 A.M. In a storage yard for a research facility in Baltimore, Maryland.
At 2:45 A.M. Rookie Ilyushin made contact with a small squad of Sectoids. Rookie Conti moved to support, while Rookie Malakhov headed for higher ground, climbing the nearby building. Atop of the building, Malakhov made contact with a secondary squad of Sectiods, and engaged. After its partner was killed by Malakhov, the second Sectoid jumped down from the building, engaging Rookie Ilyushin from his left flank. Ilyushin only sustained minor damage, but began to panic, screaming something about it "Not being real". Most of his radio chatter was incoherent babbling in between bouts of sobbing uncontrollably.
From his rooftop position, Malakhov dispatched another Sectiod, freeing Rookie Schulz to move further into the Storage yard.
Malakov and Schulz flanked a lone Sectiod, pinning it near one of the Alien drop pods used to abduct humans.
Rookie Ilyushin regained his composure, and proceeded to fire upon the traped Sectiod, while muttering something about "Clean pants".
Rookie Schultz finally killed the lone Sectoid, but it's squad mate fired from an unknown position, hitting her, and sending her and Malakhov into a panic, fleeing and taking cover.
Rookie Ilyushin moved toward Schultz's position, and found the Sectoid inside of the building. He quickly eliminated it.
Rookies Malakhov and Conti cleared the Southern building, While Ilyushin and Schultz cleared the north. In the northern Building Schultz came into contact with a squad of Sectoids. She opened fire, but missed, and the Aliens, disappeared in the building.
Having cleared theirs, Malakhov and Conti moved to support.
Entering the Building, Schultz was ambushed by one of the two Sectiods. She returned fire, and killed it.
Outside, Malakhov spotted the other fleeing the building, heading for the exit of the Yard. He eliminated the Sectoid, muttering something in Russian. (Our translator has confirmed Kiril said; "Not fast enough, Bitch.")
Big Sky returned home at 12:03 A.M.
Kills:
Malakhov: 3
Schultz: 2
Ilyushin: 1
Bradfords Notes: Rookies... Can't work with 'em, can get work done without 'em.
Of the entire group, I'm particularly impressed with Malakhov and Schultz, Although Ilyushin made a pretty impressive shot as well. I recommend promotions and training for the following:
Malakhov: Sniper. He's a damn good shot, so make sure he gets a rifle.
Schultz: Assault. She was excellent in Close Quarters, so a shotgun would be ideal.
Ilyushin: Sniper. He's not a great shot, but it's best to keep him out of direct combat, unless you want to spend all of our funding on Laundry bills... Yeesh...
Non-Combat Information: Research on Alien Alloys is progressing, 3 new recruits inbound to H.Q.
