    Congratulations! You beat back the Ethereal Invasion with only a handful of rookies and jury rigged alien hardware.

    Shen and Vahlen are busy on getting alien tech usable for the benefit of human kind (read: Nobel Prize), Zhang's retired after buying a mansion in hawaii (criminal links + XCOM fame + low property values due to aliens + XCOM penchant = win), Bradford somehow is getting hitched with Anette (you being best man of couse), and you got the Medal of Honor equivalents of some twenty plus countries now hanged right next to the skull of a chrysalid you beat to death with a backscratcher.

    Things have been pretty swell for you for the last two years as the Reconstruction is kicking into high gear and you've found yourself the owner of the world's first hovercar personally made by some of the best Automative Engineers around. Awesome.

    Then you got message. On your desktop computer, your TV, and even your phone you find a certain bald man hidden by light in the back.

    Hello Commander. The Council has....found a certain group of individuals that we suggest you look into...

    • Pointy eared humans in hovercraft conducting hit and run attacks upon key infrastructure while wearing strange and colorful armor.
    • A strange cult that may or may not be dabbling with malignant psychic powers. What is this Warp they speak of?
    • Sightings of skeletal robots that glow with green light and electric current. A lot of the sightings are around old ruins of indeterminate origin.

    X-Com has scaled down, though still large what remains of its active force is pre-occupied with chasing down Ethereal Remnants and Exalt hold out cells. You can't tackle all of them at once so you will have to choose which of the three you should invest in first and foremost.

    • ....this is like asking, "Hi, we are going to kill you. How would you like to die? Poison? Gunshot to the head? Hanging?"

    [x] Skeletal Robots

    Why? Because we get the advantage of Psychics against them where the other two turn our Psychics against us.

    This is the least bad option, I feel. And its still horrible. We are so screwed!

    Psychic powers are always a problem. You remember all the Sectoid Mind Attacks and Ethereals tossing around your men like ragdolls. The fact that your own Psi-Ops members have had....issues already stacked upon XCOM trauma and you got a powder keg.

    If there are Psychics as powerful as Annette and the Furies out there then your going to have to look into it.

    Reports say that they are functioning out of a large farm abandoned during the war and have fortified it into a compound. They have guns and even a few have a few EXALT lasers likely bought on the black market.

    Taking into account your limited roster you have the choice between either sending a Covert Operative ahead of your unit, sending in a brand new scouting SHIV before sending in your team.

    EDIT: to clarify Hayes is NOT psychic
