Depth 009 "Timber!"
I was taken out of my dastardly-evil-planning-phase as my phone suddenly rang and I answered it.
"XCOM?"
"Yes, this is Bradford. The Commander would like to talk to you."
"It's me, do you know of the X-Ray base at Spain?"
"The one near Huesca yes?" I replied.
"Yes that one, we'd like to your help to seize it." Seize it? Don't you have the proper manpower and resources for that? I told him as such.
"Not anymore, we've been constantly training personnel on other XCOM-affiliated facilities and the resources can be easily replaced with the other half of the battleship you helped took down, we'll send in XCOM operatives together with you to seize the base." Hah! 'helped' my ass! I took the thing down all by myself! I'm still bitter about it!
"When."
"Somewhere within the next 40 days." What?
"Somewhere?" I asked him. Are they having problems again?
"It depends on how much time USA takes to transfer the resources." Oh... Hm, ok.
"Within these 40 days, contact me when you're ready." I told him. Now to get back to my base.
As I sailed forth to home I wondered, 'How did they spot me? Where did those small crafts come from?' then it suddenly it me, I am doing the cause of my near-demise. The Boosters. I was using a mix of both my Graviton Engines AND rocket engines in tandem, which gives me ludicrous acceleration and speed underwater. Graviton Engines aside, those water I gathered using slits on my ship-body which in turn I use process liquid hydrogen from them which then I use to fuel my mounted disposable rocket engines lights up like a Christmas tree even underwater, plus those sea waves I produce just adds fuel to the fire.
Ah... So that's how they spotted me eh. But what about those small crafts? I did disable my active sensors to avoid getting pinged and just relied on good ol' camera, passive sensors, maps and a healthy dose of predicting. So how did they got spotted ONLY after they've gone close enough for them to shoot at me?
I went through my files and found a copy of both mine and XCOM's scans of all those small alien crafts... They don't have stealth, what the fuck?

I've been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade, make life and take the lemons back.
Nah just JK. I've been thinking of trying to go to space... I have the tech and the means but that means I have to change my current ship-body into a configuration fitting for space exploration and combat.
Initially I thought of becoming a space battleship Yamato but I ran across a problem... What should I do if ROB ever decides to throw me into USY2199 universe? The Yamato encountering Me? Please don't joke about it, that wave motion cannon will rip me a new one and rekt it good. You know I'll do just that if you ever did change your form to USY2199 Yamato.
That aside, I'm thinking of using HW2's Battlecruiser from the MOD Complex, I like the design. Though I do want to make it 2 Kilometers in length so I'll need a LOT of nanomaterials, and the conversion rates between resources to nanomaterials, usable nanomaterials are pretty low even the TGT01 conversion rates were pretty low. Plus I don't wanna use the warp drive, yet, 'cause I have no solid method of masking my warp signature if I ever do a warp transition. Also I want to use FTL drives planet-side, think about the tactical merits of being capable of doing so, sure I've got the Wave-Force Armor to either politely or roughly scoot the particles away for me to be able to relatively safely use Warp FTL in atmosphere but that may damage the planet's natural atmosphere.
Various movies and series like Star Trek and USY has shown that Warp Drives can indeed be used to enter and exit warp in atmosphere, but those are movies and tv-shows, can't rely on them now can't we? You? Talking about Fiction even when you're a fictional character in a fictional world?
Though I would like to get my hands on USY2199's Wave Motion Engine... Infinite power and fuel by converting the vacuum of space? Yes please.
*Sigh* Wish I could encounter other SI's they'll be sure to help me and I too would like to help them, exchange shinies and stuff. That will not happen when I am the one who holds the say on that matter.
4 Days later I encountered a UFO Large Scout Ship. I of course due to my greed, literally knocked the UFO down using my Wave-Force Armor. I then proceeded to kill all the crews, and brought the loot to my safe haven to convert to Nanomaterials.
Hm... Now that I thought about, the psionic-tech I told the XCOM to develop, wonder what happened.
"This is Dr. Vahlen, you asked for me?" Yes I did.
"Yes, what ever happened to those psionic-tech I handed over? Have you improved them?" I asked her.
"Oh yes! Of course we did!" Hyperactive much? "Thanks to you our fighting prowess increased exponentially! Can you imagine all the possible applicatio....." Ugh. This. Was. A. Mistake. To. Ask.
Pleasantries were exchanged and I had them sent me a complete copy of their psionic study. I do have rights on the thing since I handed the root technology to them, even though I stole it from the Aliens.
After finally escaping the clutches of Dr. Vahlen, I at least had the decency to not shut the phone off when the other party is talking mind you, I took my time thinking about spaceships again and I've finally decided. Although this base was just recently re-constructed for me, I have no choice now. I took all of my stashed nanomaterials except for 9000 units and converted half of the 18000 to nanomachines and built a dedicated stealth generator and SUB-AI core which I tasked of dissolving the internals of the base and had it built my spaceship chassis underneath in a vertical fashion.
A month later I was contacted by XCOM, asking me to assist them in the capture of the alien base 'Huesca' in Spain.

"Are you and your people ready?" I asked their leader in Psi-Armor.
"Yes ma'am." He replied professionally.
"Then let's move. You take point, Leave the Alien Heavies to me."
"Roger that."
After a series of cover-to-cover movement and silent take downs, these Psi-Operatives are damn good, we managed to reach Alien Base 'Huesca'.
"What's the plan? I can always bust down the front gate if needed." I suggested, I had my drones and Rensouhos AND the destroyer Hikage in my D-Storage, I can call them immediately when needed, heck I could drop my ship-body literally on top of the base if I wanted to.
"If you would please." Oh taking my suggestion eh? I grinned and licked my lips in anticipation.
I opened a big portal, 300 meter in length and dropped my ship-body, guns blazing, on top of their base.
...Timber!
