    Aleph: "So I hear you like aliens."

    Thorne: "I just think that we could use with some peace talks! IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?!"

    Aleph: "No, none of that horseshit. I mean, I hear you like like aliens."

    Thorne: "...What the fuck are you even on abou--"

    Aleph: "Admit it or I do the thing with the Balaclava."

    Thorne: "Fine aliens are my fetish ARE YOU HAPPY?!"

    Vahlen: "Commander, remind me to speak with Lance Corporal Aleph after the mission. I wish to learn this... 'Thing with the Balaclava'."

    Commander: "Right. Bradford?"

    Bradford: "Won't say it if you don't, sir."

    Obama: "Firing ranging volley!"



    Havocfett: "Flushing it from position!"



    Cetashwayo: "Blew its head off with a five round rapid!"



    Rufus: "BE GENTLER OH MY GOD IT HURTS TO BREATHE"

    Havocfett: "You're applying it to yourself!"

    Cornuthaum: "Confirm neutralisation. Proceed."

    Aleph: "Right, rounding the cars..."



    Aleph: "I see something."

    Cornuthaum: "It see you?"

    Aleph: "Nnnnnope."

    Cornuthaum: "Be excellent."



    Cornuthaum: "Excellent."

    Gryphon: "Strike Team, I'm touching down. Ready to receive the HERETIC."

    Aleph: "Right, off you go Thornie!"



    Thorne: "GET ME AWAY FROM THAT WOMAN!"

    Aleph: " :D "

    Bradford: "Take out any remaining aliens before you go, Strike Team. We don't want anyone thinking that the aliens are anything but dangerous."

    Commander: "I also want a skull."

    Bradford: "Commander, please."

    Cornuthaum: "Compliance."

    Bradford: "Don't encourage him."




    Obama: "In position to breach the bookstore."

    Cornuthaum: "Move."



    Obama: "X-Rays spotted."



    Obama: "...And apparently really into comic books."

    Cetashwayo: "They're charging!"



    Obama: "Put some holes in one, but its still moving!"




    Cetashwayo: "Tagged the other!"

    Havocfett: "Alright, last xeno! How about we clock it upside the head and haul it to Dr. Vahlen as a peace offeri--"

    Aleph: "DIBS."




    Havocfett: "...Why."

    Aleph: "As I said. Dibs. What are you a barbarian?"

    Bradford: "Just... come home already."

    Rufus: "YAY."

    Bradford: "But no detours."

    Rufus: "FUCK."

    Commander: "As a result of not capturing a perfectly injured xeno none of you are getting a promotion.

    Aleph: "Even though we got you all this good stuff?"



    Commander: "..."



    Vahlen: "Commander, you promised!"

    Commander: "I really wanted that skull okay? Its only half of them! Bradford, who's the new guy?"



    Bradford: "Really... Really old. But decent with a gun."

    Commander: "Psh. Last time I do a favor to those assholes."

    Councilman: "Commander, it is time for the monthly census."

    Commander: "WHERE DO YOU EVEN COME FROM."



    Commander: "I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING YOU'RE GREAT."

    Bradford: "Good to hear, Commander, because we just got a call from America."



    Commander: "A hundred and sixty million? Bradford, you know the drill."

    Bradford: "Top men?"

    Commander: "No, six high-speed low-drag operatives with attitude."

    Bradford: "Not sure if we have any of those."

    Commander: "Derangements are technically attitudes."

    Bradford: "Then I think we have nothing but those. I'll get right to it."

    Thing is, I need that block for my satellite uplink/nexus block. So I'm writing that one off, and focusing on the right side for my power.

    Power will be a problem, so I'll have to research Elerium earlier than I would otherwise prefer. But oh well, it'll let me get Mobile Power Armor sooner as well.

    I was talking about a layout like this, actually... although I suppose Long War might have introduced changes that negate its efficiency:



    Oh, by the way there's a slight mistake: Foundry got Workshop adjacency bonuses in EW so it can go in the bottom block somewhere... but after you've researched everything you might want to replace the lab area with more workshops, so...

    You need more than a 2x2 block for satellites in Long War, on account of the crushingly nerfed (as with everything good) Sat capacity. If Swordo hadn't fucked himself over with that OTS placement, he could have had a 3x2 block on the left side without blocking off his steam.

    • OPERATION: BLOODY HYDRA​

    Commander: "..."

    Bradford: "I don't even know, sir."

    Commander: "Well, I do."



    Commander: "Explain to me why we're sending four rookies?"

    Bradford: "Uh... job training?"

    Commander: "Sure."

    ----



    Skippy: "Bloody Hydra... Geddit?"

    stormbringer951: "Oh, because we brought four rookies?"

    Skippy: "No, because the rookies are replaceable."

    cpj1227: "Right fucking here, dickwads."

    Skippy: "Tut tut, you don't get speaking privileges until Specialist."

    cpj1227: *grumbling noises*



    Skippy: "Alright, let's set up and search for aliens."

    cpj1227: "Found one. They haven't spotted us."

    s951: "Alright, setting up for a shot. Watch this, kids."



    s951: "..."

    Skippy: "..."

    cpj1227: "..."

    s951: "A fucking fluke."



    cpj1227: "That a fluke too?"

    s951: "Yes. Observe."



    cpj1227: *cough cough* "JEEZ THE SMOKE IS KILLING ME."

    Yezar: "Advancing!"



    Yezar: "Grenades!"



    Yezar: "Murder!"

    Skippy: "Rookie, slow down. You're gonna get--"



    EarthScorpion: "Tagged it!"

    MJ12 Commando: "More like tickled it."

    Skippy: "You people are impossible. Gramps, got eyes?"

    s951: "No. Also I'm, like, 38."

    Skippy: "Jeez its worse than I thought. Need to catch a breath? I got some smokes but they're bad for old people."

    s951: "I hate you so much."



    MJ12 Commando: "Well, my cover is a bunch of pink smoke. Was nice while it lasted, people!"

    Skippy: "Relax, Sectoids shoot like ass."

    s951: "Sectoid? The hell kind of name is 'Sectoid'?"

    Skippy: "The kind that you need to be born after 1980 to know."

    EarthScorpion: "They're letting up! Advance!"

    *murder intensifies*



    Skippy: "Rookie, cpj, keep your head down! It's looking right at you."

    cpj1227: "Corporal, you personally said that they shoot like a--"



    cpj1227: "IT BURNS WORSE THAN CHLAMYDIA."

    Skippy: "Told you. MJ?"

    MJ12 Commando: "Moving."




    Skippy: "Congrats, kid. You broke XCOM's record."

    cpj1227: "I did?"

    Skippy: "For the 'most injuries in a mission because they didn't keep their fucking head down' award. its pretty prestigious."

    cpj1227: "Fuck you."

    Commander: "Good work, have some promotions. Except you, Pops. You get some turnips and a nap."

    s951: "You're older than me."

    Commander: "Aaaaaaaaaanyhoo, we got a new facility coming up. Bradford's checking it out now."

    MJ12 Commando: "That being?"

    Commander: "A sauna."

    ----



    Bradford: "MY PORES ARE SO EXFOLIATED RIGHT NOW."

    Technician: "Central Officer, its been four hours, I'm starting to worry--"

    Bradford: "DEHYDRATION IS FOR THE WEAK."

    ----

    Commander: "Its also a Geothermic Power Generator I guess. But who's keeping track?"

    Technician: "Commander, we've got a UFO on the sensors."



    Commander: "And you're telling me this... why?"

    Technician: "Central Officer Bradford passed out in the Geothermal. Dr. Vahlen's trying to revive him."

    Commander: "So she does have an MD. Well, go send up an interceptor or something."

    ----



    MissingJimbo: "Yeah, that's right! FUCK YOU."

    Bradford: "Oh jeez my head... Alright, Voodoo-37, get back to base. You, get the UFO on-screen and magnified."

    Technician: "Magnifying... Oh jeez."

    Shen: What is i... oh."

    Commander: "What's up? Show me."



    Commander: "It's still in one piece?"

    Shen: "Looks like it, Commander. Recommend we hit it with artillery for an hour or two, and then mop up with two or three strike teams."

    Commander: "Or we send one strike team and have the others go settle another, more pressing matter."

    Bradford: "With respect, Commander, I think this is the most pressing matter we curre--"

    Commander: "Yeah, see... a bunch of those corpses weren't actually dead..."

    Bradford: "..."



    Gryphon: "Got the flamethrowers, boss! Where d'ya want them?"

    Bradford: "I'll just... select from the roster I guess. Oh jeez my headache."

    Commander: "Do it quick, I'm taking everyone else on an alien hunt within XCOM HQ."

    Point taken. I do hope that Long War mod that you're working on fixes this issue, because that is bullshit.

    ...I would be more precise with my swearing, though. That sounds like an Xbox Live kid. :sad: And how the hell would I know what the clap feels like, anyway? :V

    Also: yay, I get my secondary wish of being a Support! No wait, Commander's Choice is a thing. Boom. Headshots.

    And when you get Van Dorn make sure to turn a PFC into Private Friendly.
