Two days later on the 22nd, the design for the Hunter Scout car was completed. One can only wonder what equipment their shock troops wield. Our ground troops will be reserved for capturing the larger craft that utilize these alenium reactors.ĭisturbingly, our analysts have found evidence to suggest that the alien forces we've been engaging on the ground so far have been NONCOMBATANTS. From now on air-striking crashed light scouts will become standard practice. I currently do not believe that the potential gains of capturing a light scout whole outweigh the risk of deploying ground troops to the site. As a result we will be changing our policy towards our away missions. The small "Light scouts" are not equipped with these alenium reactors. Capturing additional supplies of this material from downed alien craft is a top priority. The potential applications of this compact and potent power source are staggering, however the secrets to manufacturing this material are still unknown to us and we have no means of "recharging" the crystals once their energy is exhausted. The crystal substance found within it appears to be some kind of advanced battery and our scientists are confident that they can tap into that power and use it to power our own devices! Later that evening, R&D finished their analysis of the alien power core that was captured last week. Better yet, give us control of one of your existing military bases. (give us some more money and maybe we'll be able to afford a base in the far east. Nothing we can do about it, but the local authorities are NOT pleased. While you were away on your mission, the aliens intensified their activities in asian waters. It should be capable of flattening resistance in the immediate vicinity of the LZ so that our men can more safely disembark. Hopefully the R&D labs will finish designing that scout car soon. The cold reality is that casualties are an inescapable fact of war. Heffling's loss is a stark reminder that even the smallest alien force can be a deadly threat, but this mission was still a success.

With that, the UFO is secure and the mission is complete. Hot on the flashbang's heels, Fanda dashes into the craft and executes the dazed alien. Takel opens the door and rolls a flashbang into the ship's interior With that area secure, Rhan9 moves to cover the entrance of the UFO with his LMG while Takel, Fanda, and Frozenzen prepare to breach the ship. The only thing we find in the lot is a civilian cowering behind some crates.

We blast a hole in the wall to grant us access to the lot behind the UFO so that we can sweep it and secure the immediate area. We catch our first sight of the downed light scout once we cross the dividing line in the highway. The dividing barriers are too high for our shield troopers to traverse, so we needed to blast a hole through them with a high explosive charge
