Otto Zander: You don't suppose our team somehow captured that ship, do you?
Tech: Unlikely, there's more craft coming through – three purple ships and two bombers.
Otto Zander: I think it’s time to unveil the new weapon…

Swarms of hoverbikes I say!
Otto Zander: LAUNCH THE HOVERBIKE SWARM!!!!
Tech: Yes, sir!
Otto Zander: Uh….what the hell is this?
Tech: That’s our newly purchased swarm of hoverbikes, sir!
Otto Zander: Why are there only five of them?
Tech: That’s all that were available for purchase, sir!
Otto Zander: And what the hell did we arm them with, auto-cannons?
Otto Zander: You know what? Fuck this. We barely took out the other huge vessel, and we lost two craft. I don’t want to risk having to bring that sons-of-bitch down and capture it with a rookie crew. Target the bombers instead. Launch the good ships!
Otto Zander: Good luck to you, pilots!
Otto Zander: My God, that huge ship has incredible firepower.
Tech: Luckily it’s moving away from the regular UFOs. It’s…it’s attacking the hospital!
Otto Zander: It’s stopped, what’s it doing?
Otto Zander: What!?
Otto Zander: Oh please tell me that’s not a fifty-foot tall monster.
Tech: It’s chewing its way through the city!
Otto Zander: That’s odd – isn’t that building owned by Osiron?
Tech: Correct.
Otto Zander: Weird, we always suspected some kind of link between the aliens and Osiron, so why is that thing attacking them?
Tech: Osiron’s fighting back!
Tech: Looks like this creature has no ranged combat ability. The Osiron craft aren’t getting attacked!
Otto Zander: That’s a major weakness of this creature if true.
Tech: And look at that! It’s getting crushed by the very buildings it’s destroying!
Otto Zander: Ha! Guess we don’t have to worry about these freaks anymore! Send a cleanup team and get MegaPol to seal off the area. I have a feeling that corpse is not going to fit in a containment unit.
Otto Zander: The scientists can conduct an autopsy on the spot.
Tech: Looks like all the UFOs have returned home – we managed to take down one purple ship.
Otto Zander: Alright, send the rookies. Are Koil, Chuck Charlie, Tynam and Jade ready?
Tech: Cleared for active duty today sir.

Teppec: Alright guys, this one doesn’t look too bad. Fifty-five meters in diameter and seven stories tall, but almost all of that volume is concentrated in a central hump.
Teppec: Found the door, move in!
Teppec: Rocket make boom go now!
Teppec: Guys, kill those survivors, I’m going to the upper levels.
Teppec: Oh fuck me.
Velius: One down!
Tynam: Three more going…
Tynam: …down.
Velius: AAAAHHHH!!!!!! HE SHOT ME IN THE GROIN!! OWEEOWEEOWEE!!!!!!
Teppec: NOOOOOOO…
Teppec: ARGH! How about a missile for you guys?
Oystertoadfish: Megaspawn is down! I got the skeletoids!
Cabledude: TOP LEVEL IS EMPTY.
Tynam: MY BRAINS! NOOOOOOO!!!!
Booyah: MY BRAINS! AAAAAHHHH!!!!
Chuck Charlie: Popper! Watch out!
Tynam: Hey, what do you know, my brains are fine!
Booyah: Me too! High five unsucked buddy!
Tynam: We should totally get promoted for that!
Guava note: So I hit ‘end turn’ and I’m attacked by three brainsuckers and a popper. They all kill themselves, and that’s all that were left. I win the mission!

The current group of rookies proved themselves in battle. We have no choice but to send ‘Welcome From Earf’ into the alien dimension ASAP to find out what happened to the main team. The dimension probe recorded that our main team landed, entered the alien farm and were never heard from until the auto-recall was activated. The mission of our second team is not to destroy the alien farm, but simply figure out what happened to our soldiers.
If the second team doesn’t return, we’ll be in trouble.
