You and your council of division heads were gathered in the meeting room and looked over the losses and gains of the operation. "We lost forty troopers and four IFVs, but managed to wipe out the Biomorphs and shut down the Breach. We've recovered a significant amount of Biomorphic corpses, and received a major pay day from our backers." You said as you checked the reports. "Letters have already been prepared for the next of kin of the deceased, though I'm not sure how effective that'll be in comforting them."
"Nothing really helps when a person loses someone close to them." Commander Adams said as he sighed. "We've also successfully recorded the operation with the cams carried by our forces, including the ones that could be recovered from the deceased. We can put the footage through some analysis and figure out how to improve our performance in future operations."
"With the new specimens recovered from the battle, I can certainly begin work on better understanding our enemies, and perhaps get some inspiration on how to incorporate their strengths for our own forces." Dr. Vahlen said as went through the part of the report detailing the number of Biomorph bodies recovered and their state.
"I can certainly make use of this victory to spin up some good PR for our organization, and maybe even improve our chances at getting some new recruits." Josephine added in her own ideas. "The new injection of funds will thankfully help make sure none of us are left wanting."
"That will be useful, especially if we want to further expand our base with more facilities, or build more Slayers." Emily said. "The workshops should be finished this month, so that should help with future projects."
"Expanding our intelligence gathering and ability to act on that in a covert manner should allow us to more effectively operate without drawing scrutiny from the more problematic elements that might look for a reason to disrupt our operations." Twilight said while looking over a different report, you think it had something to do with that geokinetic that interrupted their heist on the cartels.
"Ultimately what we do is up to you, Director." Commander Adams said, looking to you for orders along with the other heads.

[ ] Recruitment Drive: "Director, we lost some of manpower recently, and while I don't desire to sound callous, replacing those losses as soon as possible should be something you should consider." (Cost: 150. Time: 1 Turn. DC: 40. Reward: More Infantry Units.)

[ ] Culling Operation: "Director, while we have secured the containment zone around the Alpha Breach, there are still Biomorphs inside the zone that will prove to be problematic if not dealt with.

[ ] Biomorphic Augmentation: "While I can understand a reluctance, in the face of a foe we know so little about, it may be necessary to consider all potential avenues for combating the Biomorph threat.

[ ] Slayer Production: "Well Director, while we might not have more pilots currently, I think that having a surplus of Slayers will be a good thing!

Reward: Additional Slayers Constructed, Unlock Additional Pilot Recruitment)
