In the years 2015, Earth had been invaded by an aliens invaders from another planet, lead by the Ethereals, who - in reality - wish to find a species who are strong in both mind and body. In response to this, the Council of Nations created a multinational paramilitary organization X-COM (Extraterrestrial Combat Unit) to defend the Earth from the aliens threats.
It doesn't matter if it was a losing war, it doesn't matter how hopeless it was to win, it doesn't matter how many obstacles that were impossible to get through, the X-COM organization continued to fight the aliens threat, taking their technologies for reverse engineering, and eventually won the war that they should never supposed to win.
But all of that come with the cost of many lives, million of man and woman who fought against the aliens invasion and gave their lives for victory. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten in the history that will eventually be called "The Alien War".
Using technologies and new resources through the guidance of the X-COM, Earth had been advanced quickly throughout the decades of peace despite the number of skirmishes against the few terrorist force, with EXALT being among them. Although there was a terrorist who almost succeeded in causing a World War 3 and nearly brought down the EXALT organization, but it's a story for another day.
Now, in the years 2035, as the prototype mobile hybrid base began it's patrol through the Caribbean Sea, it was suddenly struck by a storm that threw them off the radar. When it was all over, the Avenger had found themselves in a new world, full of what remained of civilization with humanities on the edge of extinction.
A world that, by all means, need man and woman like X-COM to save their world.
And so humanity's greatest elites will go to save that world, finding home will be delay.

Note: This quest is base on an already dead quest made from Swordomantic, who I asked permission to do this. Anyone who was in Swordomantic Quest would know what the quest is and the premises... And you'll probably know how much impact it's going to be because of the X-COM's presence in it.
For those of you who don't know, it's basically a quest where the settings is the Gamindustri equivalent of the Fallout setting... Except MUCH worse than you'll think.
Anyway, don't post yet guys, as I'll be making two more post: one for the X-COM and the other for the Nation, although it won't be fill till after you guys vote (a minimal of 3 vote would be enough).
(PS: I might combine the elements of both the original version and the Re;birth version, even if I only read the original.)

[accordion]{Slide= Eopra, Land of Iron Endurance (Current Location)}
The Western Continent of Eopra was once the manufacturer center of the First Era, with industry that could only surpassed by Tari. It's advance technology of the Eopra, while prevented from being collapse, had been undone by the catastrophically incident known as The Fall that spread throughout all over Gamindustri.
Now the sky above Eopra is foggy, with mechanical beast roaming the wild while bipedal machines in a shape of man stalk through the once great land of golden industry, hunting survivors until the day that mankind has gone extinct.{/slide}
{Slide= Niihon, ???}
The Northern Land of Niihon, while there's no information about it, was covered entirely in winter for perhaps eternity. Rumor said that Niihon was once an eternal late fall, with only cold as a minor inconvenience, and the once nation of Maidwen was place of magic.
But now, after The Fall, it has become a land of eternal winter, with many settlement throughout the continent and legion of demons seal within the mountains.{/slide}
{Slide= Mercia, ???}
The Eastern Continent of Mercia is... Well amiable to human life, as far as anyone is concerned. It is rich with mineral deep within the Earth, and the fertile soils is pretty damn good. The problem however is that the monsters are fat and their carapace are as hard as steel from such place.
That's as far as anyone from other continent would know.{/Slide}
{Slide= Saian, ???}
The Southern Continent of Saian was a mountainous region from across the sea, compose entirely of grassland and plains. But now Saian became a desert (somehow), with the people within Saian had to not only content with the harsh environment and the monsters out there, but also the many raiders and warlords that prey any undefended settlement and pillage it from the people.{/Slide}[/accordion]
Note: While I would want to make a discussion about certain things, I'll let it off for later. Now all we need is for someone to break the tie, as the vote is now close, and we're good to go.
(Funny enough, only Mercia is what I don't know of the situation, and I don't even read the Re;birth version... Well except for Re;TAKE really.)

Your name is Commander Jane Shepard, the legendary hero of the Alien War 20 years ago and now the Commander of the Mobile Hybrid Base called The Normandy, a ship that can house at least 850 personnel including yourself due to the sizes. Currently, you are in a pickle as everyone are attempting to reestablish contact with the nearest X-COM Base, which only met with statics.
It's all began when The Normandy started patrolling the Caribbean Sea for any possible Xenoterrorist activities (terrorist that would use the Aliens technologies, or the species themselves, against the government), and then a sudden storm threw you and your crew off guard, which led to a struggle to keep the Normandy away from the tidal wave until the storm passes. When it was passed, however, two problem had been situated that might give you trouble.
The first was that you lost all contacts from the X-COM Base. And the second was that, somehow, the Normandy found itself in an uncharted sea.
So now all the crew are trying to fix the problem of varying degrees. Unfortunately, it would seem that it'll be impossible.
"Commander Shepard, what should we do now?" One of the crewmen asked as other keep trying to get some contact, no matter how impossible it is. You only turned your head slightly to said crewman, who looked worry at the situation.
You only sighed internally before you gave a response.
"For now, we should get the nearest land and check it out." It's no use for everyone to do nothing but trying to reestablish communication in the middle of the sea after all. "Once we find land, we'll had to secure the area and investigate the situation carefully. There's a chance we might not even be on Earth anymore."
And if they're not on Earth but in another planet, then there's a likely chance to encounter a hostile inhabitants out there. You felt Central Anderson, the only man who you would trust for management whenever you go for a mission, nodded at the order before he commanded to make the mobile base sail.
It didn't take three minutes before you found a land...
... And it's a fucking wasteland.
Like holy shit, you might've thought that you have found yourself in Australia if it weren't for the loss of contact to HQ. Sure Australia was getting better thanks to the new technologies after the Alien War, but it was still dangerous for the most part. This place, on the other hand, would probably made you wonder if Australia was a paradise compared to this, because there's no sign of life... As of yet.
Of course, you would find one eventually; because you doubt that the whole land would not have some life form out there, if there's not a civilization nearby. So you deployed scout drone to find anything out in the wild.
A few minutes later...
"Commander Shepard, we may have detect something out there." One of the navigators spoke as he looked at something on the radar. "I think there might be civilization." Huh, that was fast, you thought as you check the monitor right when it show you...
Select two locations on where you're going to start at:
[ ] Look like a large city of some sort, but the whole place looked as if apocalypse had came to wipe out everyone within. Seem like there's someone out there as the Normandy detected energies signature at the city.(Nacma City, likely encounter hostile)
[ ] A military base you figured, there's multiple defense turrets and a gate where some groups of human came out of.(Vault 101, you will guarantee encounter human settlement and might encounter the scav team)
"What should we do now Commander Shepard?" Anderson asked you while watching the drone stared at the location out there. "Are we going to send in a squad for rec--"
Then suddenly, the monitor turn to statics as the drone gone offline quickly.
"We lost the drone Commander." One of the navigators stated the obvious as you only sighed internally at the lost drones before you adjusted your cap and leave the deck.
"Prepare the Skyranger for deployment." You ordered just as the door opened for you to exit the deck, with Anderson following you behind.
"I'll take it you're planning on going into the field personally?" Anderson asked as the two of you are headed straight for the barrack to see which of the soldiers would be deploy.
Do you seriously wish to be deployed on the fields?:
[ ] Of course you would, as your experience with leading squad would help the team for greater team. Although you would risk yourself in this, you have Anderson and your brother to watch out for the Normandy if something happens to you.[Shepard will participate be participate]
[ ] No, you would be fine staying in the deck, you should send someone else to lead the team.[Shepard stay]
------
The barrack is as lively as you would expected in the Normandy.
"Commander Shepard." One of the soldiers, who looked like a young man in his twenties, greeted as he and the rest saluted you. You nodded in response as your brother came in, who looked like he had just finished training.
Ah, typical John. Always training the young soldiers for battle.
"What brought you here, Commander Shepard?" Your brother asked as you ordered a drink at the bartender.
"I need you to gather some team for recon Lieutenant Colonel Shepard." Your brother nodded at you with a serious expression, already know why you would need one.
"If I can make some recommendations Commander." Your brother spoke to you as the two of you and Anderson, who was quiet the whole time, sat on a seat next to the table while the bartender brought you drink.
Lieutenant Colonel John make some recommendations for a team of four to recon the last area, choose four soldiers(three if Jane Shepard is choose to be deployed):
[ ] Have that soldier, who greeted you before, be in this team. Apparently, he had Meld infused within him, Chrysalis's skin in fact. Kinda gross, but useful for finding any stealthy enemies.[Master Sergeant George "Lockdown" Maldonado]
[ ] There's that kid who was assigned in the Normandy a week before this. You admitted, that boy - despite his odd mentality (who would let someone like him anyway!?) - he's surprisingly damn good with that katana of his, since he has black belt in Kenjutsu and all.[Private Hideaki Miyamoto]
[ ] There's that Psi Magus who you once taught with the psionic abilities that he awaken within. Although he usually use that... Swordspear thingy, he's pretty damn good with any long-range weaponry, preferably a Marksman Rifle.[Corporal Zenko Namikage]
[ ] He thought about going into the mission site, what with him know a lot in engineering drones. Considering that he have a GREMLIN that can function both in support and hacking, you wouldn't complain.[Lieutenant Colonel John Shepard]
[ ] There's that big guy name James who Shepard thought he could be useful due to how much explosion that guy leave, especially when he has a flamethrower with him.[Lieutenant James Vegas]
[ ] He suggest bringing in your best friend in the fields for when everything goes to hell. Considered that said friend is a Ranger, you agreed with that.[Major Ashley William]

Alright, before we start voting, it should be noted that I'll be mostly using classes from X-COM 2 and Long War 2, with some systems and weapons type from both vanilla and Long War, the first and second.
So with that said, next post will be me listing all the available weapons and armor your soldiers can equip for battlefield.
(Note: Ballistic and Gauss weaponry will be inspired from the Call of Duty series. Be prepared. I also be edit the Index to show you guys about the Normandy.)

Alright, before we start voting, it should be noted that I'll be mostly using classes from X-COM 2 and Long War 2, with some systems and weapons type from both vanilla and Long War, the first and second.
So with that said, next post will be me listing all the available weapons and armor your soldiers can equip for battlefield.
(Note: Ballistic and Gauss weaponry will be inspired from the Call of Duty series. Be prepared. I also be edit the Index to show you guys about the Normandy.)

- Puerto Rico, Vega Baja
"Alright team, by now you know what the situation here." You spoke as your squadmate follow you to the hangar for their mission. "So I'll say the mission briefing: At approximately 1500 hour, one of the recon droids had found what we believe to be a human settlement when it was suddenly shot down by an unknown assailant."
As you arrived at the hangar, you activated a video feed on their helmet to showcase a video of the drone that was shut down, showing that the drone indeed found a settlement of some sort before being suddenly shot down.
"We have two objectives: locate the downed scout drone and establish contact with the settlement if possible. Any questions?"
None of the three operative had asked you.
"Alright then, let move out." You ordered as your squadmate obeyed and went to the waiting Skyranger that'll take them to the AO with you following behind.
======
Operation: New World
Objective:
- Locate the downed Scout Drone
- If possible, make contact with the settlement
Briefing: "After having discovered a settlement near our position, Crow-12 had been suddenly shot down before we could react. Your mission is to search for the down drone, starting from where it was last seen, and find out the cause of it. In addition to that, we also want you to establish contact with the settlement that the drone had found if possible. There's a high possibility that the settlement inhabitants are humans like us, but also a possibility that they're might be hostile, so be wary when making contact."
[Military Time: 1600, Location: Wasteland]
"This is Lighting Bolt, we're at the LZ Commander. Happy hunting." Lighting Bolt told you as the Skyranger parked on the LZ while the door opened for you and the squad to exit. You're the first to get out, followed by Ashley and George by side and Zenko on the rear.
"Lighting Bolt, you're free to fly back to the base. We'll call you in for evac or reinforcements, whichever it is."
"Loud and clear Commander Shepard."
You heard the door closing as the Skyranger flew back to the Normandy. As the ship leave, you place your hand on the earpiece to contact Anderson. "Central, this Shepard. We're at the AO and ready to move." You told your technical superior.
"We read you Commander, the Crow-12 was last seen north of your position, we'll give you the coordinates." You see your visor's HUD flashes and showed you the scout drone's last known location. Seeing that it's not too far, you beckoned the rest to follow you, as you went toward the location.
As you slowly make your way through the wasteland in search for the drone, you inspected your Gauss Rifle to make sure that it's in good condition before doing the same thing to your grapple. After making an inspection, you nodded to yourself as you're getting nearer to the location.
"Lockdown to Normandy, do you have one of our active drones near our position?" Suddenly spoke the black haired man who looked physically twenties despite being older than his look. For some reason he eyeing a certain a spot without turning to face says spot, making you and the rest of the group curious about this.
"Negative Lockdown, only the downed drone near your position."
The sharpshooter of the team looked to have resisted the urge to sigh for some reason.
"Figured as much."
Then he suddenly aim the Alloy Strike Rifle at the spot.
BANG!
Shot fire and you looked at where the bullet went to; you heard the bullet penetrating something metal before a drone suddenly appeared, seemingly being caught off-guard, and immediately tried to escape...
... Keyword being "tried".
Because no sooner that it appeared, you quickly moved your hand - which had started to glow purple - and proceed to immobilizes it, giving the black haired man name Zenko enough time to throw that swordspear thingy at the drone, the forces of the impact being enough to shred through it.
Now curious as to what it is, you went in there to take a closer look at the drones alongside with Ashley, before both of you crouched down to inspect it. The design of the drone is complete different to the X-COM own drones; in fact, it looks nothing like the drones from back home.
"What are we looking at William?" You asked Ashley as your friend inspected the downed drone.
"Not sure, never seen a drone of this making." Ashley spoke as she took a good look at it. "But what I can tell is that this one is made for hunting. Armed with some sort of heavy weaponry and equipped with the optic camouflage." She concluded before shrugging at this and standing up from the ground, followed by you before picking up the weapon and gave it back to your former apprentice.
"Central, are you hearing this?" You asked Anderson by the comlink as you heard George kicking the drone.
"Yeah we heard what Ashley spoke, but we have a problem."
"We have detected a small group of unknown signatures heading your way." Anderson warned you as the squad immediately readied themselves for the approaching group. "It look like a human, but the reading is off. Stay alert everyone."
Well great, sounds like whoever they are heard the gunshot from George when he opened fire on the drone. Now they had to hide from them before whoever they are arrived. You looked at your surrounding, noted that despite being a wasteland there's some crude shelters that are either a mere corrugated iron on stilts or a partially destroy building.
But none of them could give them an elevation advantages.
So now what should you do?
[ ] Have the group get to cover in order for an overwatch fire. If they're friendly, then hold your fire, if not... Shoot them down. (Roll for ambush and overwatch fire)
- [ ] You can have someone hide at those crude corrugated iron on stilts, which while give them some cover, are kinda close to where the group might arrived at and might have a chance to get flanked.
-- [ ] Zenko Namikage
-- [ ] Ashley William
-- [ ] George Maldonado
-- [ ] Yourself
- [ ] Have someone take cover on those buildings, they'll give complete cover and prevent flanking, but whoever send there would be away from whoever they are.
-- [ ] Zenko Namikage
-- [ ] Ashley William
-- [ ] George Maldonado
-- [ ] Yourself
[ ] Have everyone take cover and hide from whoever they come. You don't want to waste bullets on something that might be friendly. (Roll for concealment)
[ ] Get everyone into a firing position, you doubt that the incoming group are friendly, and that they might be coming to kill you and your squadmate. (Roll for overwatch fire)

Note: Sorry taking a long time, got busy with stuff. Also, you all got lucky with the difficulty roll, or you would have to face a more dangerous enemies if not.
