CHAPTER 9
Somewhere near New Orleans. Trouble is brewing yet again. This time it's not a meth lab. It's a monster.
Business as usual in the monster hunting field. Is it a zombie? Did it look like a giant bug? Who knows?
Millim and Jesse Ventura don't talk much, but they get the job done.
Leroy is fearless, but it will be his undoing.
Not the target.
This is more like it.
Dog moves in for the kill.
Dispatched. Can't risk it killing civilians after all.
Job well done!
Things are getting back on track. More and more research is coming in.
Yet another faction. They like to use ninja weapons. You can guess where they hang out.
Trouble in paradise.
Important research for more unlocks.
These might be useful. X-COM Files rocks.
Land Surveys usually turn up monster corpses which are always handy. I might have said this before, but I won't say it again.
Here is one now.
It's not a monster but it is still valuable. Meanwhile...
***
DARK ROOM SOMEWHERE
He knows too much. I want him eliminated. A suicide mission. See to it personally.
***
Throatpunch is sent with three dogs on a high risk mission.
The bad guys are armed with better weaponry.
They open fire immediately.
The best early 90's graphics can produce.
This guy opens a nice hole to enter through.
Dakota makes sure to give him a nice thank you.
Then pisses on his corpse.
Lucy spots a lookout.
Throatpunch is looking to make use of his H&K.
But he is taking heavy fire on all sides. He did not expect the compound to be this well secure. He expected something like what Chunglord and him did.
Throatpunch: Shit!
One of the baddies moves for the window.
Throatpunch: A fucking...setup.
While Throatpunch bleeds out near the van one of the dogs is doing God's work.
Lucy is busy dodging bullets most of the mission.
Lord moves in to spread the Gospel.
This guy won't be coming back to life in 3 days.
The Lord comes and he goes.
Lucy is taking fire while another dog moves in to cut the asshole off.
Will he make it in time?
Damn right.
One dog was lost in the scrap though.
The dogs manage to finish off yet another terrorist.
Before scampering back to the van...and apparently driving it back to X-COM base themselves.
Maybe the dogs were in on it. I've never seen a dog that can drive a van that well. At any rate with Throatpunch dead Chunglord is the only
know troll left at X-COM. Area 55 is running pretty smoothly. We are losing dogs on the regular but bitches are always looking to hump.
Speaking of bitches. These bitches don't know what is coming for them but it's not good.
Squat eager as always gets a clean kill.
Triggering a nice uzi spray from this camper to the south.
Per throws a flashbang to stun one of the bad guys that is in the open.
This guy has a clear advantage if he chooses to fire.
AP dodging a bullet.
Many doors can be heard opening and closing followed by all of the masked men coming out.
Squat now injured from stray bullets is taking shelter.
Per attempts to even the odds a bit.
Squat attempts to make himself useful despite his injury.
Not for long. RIP Squat. It's a dirty job but someone has to do it. Maybe I should look into more armor.
The men are handling targets of their own.
It's a massacre.
The men do their best despite taking casualties.
But these guys have serious range.
AP is injured.
Per does his handy work. He even knows how to refuel the car.
These guys never had a chance in the open.
Just like target practice. The other dog must have been killed in the onslaught. It's body is hidden somewhere.
Not bad. I do miss Squat.
China is just getting started in their early terrorist/farmer capturing career.
When a mission comes through in their neck of the woods they take Ocelot V (rental van) to the destination ready for some XP points. Or some body bags.
Metal Gear currently has no bullets but it does make smoke.
All Big Boss dialog should be said in as stereotypical a Chinese accent as possible.
Big Boss: Spread out!
Before they even get a chance a sniper opens fire. They knew X-COM was coming. But how do they keep staying one step ahead?
Thankfully these rental vans are bulletproof. Only in America.
Return fire.
D-Dog moves forward hoping to find some up close dog work.
Metal Gear is getting it's bearings. It will be mostly used as a scout...for now.
The team moves under heavy fire.
D-Dog takes a hit.
Master Miller: We have you surrounded. Throw down your weapons and come out with your hands up!
Master Miller: That went easier than I thought it would.
Due to not having a prison yet Corona Heaven transferred the prisoner to Area 55.
Red Dawn Gangers really took the movie to heart.
This is the mission where D-Dog lost his eye.
Ashamed of relying on Area 55 for help Corona Heaven works on a Prison.
Farmers beware!
These are heavily REDACTED files found on the Red Dawn Gangers computer. Obviously up to no good.
September came and went with no UFO in sight. Will we ever manage to track one of the things down before it gets away?
Metal Gear is analyzing some Crop Circle goo somewhere in China.
This guy needs to be brought in. He knows too much. Or he might be a Christian. Can't have that around here.
The most appropriate thing to do is to flashbang the suspect...
Catch fire to his crops...
And taze them until they submit...
One sleeping farmer for delivery.
With a little bit of Alien Fuel as a bonus.
Yeah, yeah.
Meet the new recruit at Corona Heaven.
Area 55 is doing the research that Corona was going to do ironically enough.
Soon the research for holding live aliens will advance enough to where we are more than ready for them to land.
These Red Dawn people are really pissing off the Council.
Better look into it.
This new Intelligence Center should help to interrogate more efficiently.
Make it so!
X-COM starts selling off anything they can find for spar cash. Then the giant spiders came.
Union Jack is a new recruit at Corona Heaven. Little did he know this was the Klendathu Drop.
Giant spider things lurk in the shadows. They aren't spiders strictly speaking but they are very scary and arachnid-like.
There are other breeds.
All of them move fast as hell.
One of the blue hard to kill ones.
Union Jack lights one of the spiders up right off the bat. Any game where you can burn everything is alright by me.
A civilians dog is running around trying to bite the spiders. Good luck buddy! X-COM squad shoots at the approaching spiders wildly.
Overwatch kills one of the approaching spiders but will it be enough?
One spider caught on fire runs madly towards Big Boss with it's partner tagging along for support.
Big Boss can't get in the van in time to abort. He is eaten by two giant spiders as the remaining squad runs.
All in all a failure. Under equipped for such aggressive enemies.
The leader of Corona Heaven is dead.
Here is a list of the dead. Some died off screen in unimpressive battles of no import. Sad.
The Chupacabre research revealed they are clearly alien in origin along with some new drug that was discovered.
Finally Corona Heaven can start imprisoning all the Christians left in China. Tune in next time as the B Team assaults a Cruise Liner run by Osiron Terrorists! It looks to be a bloody one!
