X-Com1: LZ secure. Proceed with caution, men.
GW: Roger, X-Com1. Ok, men, fan out and take cover.
SM: Hey, Mr. 1? Why can't you just leave that thermal thing you do at the end of every mission on? Would save us loads of time.
X-Com1: Dr. Vahlen and her boffins say the aliens' sensors would be able to detect the scan and trace it back to the source, making the satellites vulnerable to attack. We don't dare it for more than a few seconds at a time. Same reason we don't issue you NVGs.
OD: You happy now, Spencer? Can we focus on the BEMs?
SM: Affirmative.
FS: Must've missed that briefing. What the hell's a BEM?
GW: Bug Eyed Monster. Cut the chatter, you have your orders.
(Sound of footsteps.)
GW: Spotted two targets. Looks like one of those Thin Man things and a Sectoid. Firing. (Sound of machine gun fire.) Fuck, missed!
SM: Let me try mine, sir. (Rifle fire) There ya go. Looks like we spooked that little ET-lookin' fucker. He's falling back to the ship.
GW: Roger that. Snipers, get in position.
OD: Copy.
TL: Copy, sir.
SM: I hear something up ahead.
GW: Roger that. Checking on it. (Machine gun) X-Ray down.
FS: Downed vehicle spotted. Lots of smoke coming out.
X-Com1: Confirmed. Thermal Burst Scan indicates at least 6 targets inside.
GW: Ok everyone. Prepare for door breach.
SM: Is that what that thing is? Looks more like a force field.
FS: Have you ever actually SEEN a force field?
SM: No, but I read comics. And that sure looks like one. Anyway, door down. Hit it!
(Footsteps.)
TL: Room secure. Looks to be some kind of power facility.
Dr. Shen: A chance to study the aliens' power source would be key to understanding their technology. Team, please do whatever you can within reason to return that technology intact.
Dr. Vahlen: From the design of the ship, the next room must contain the flight computer as well. Please avoid damaging it.
OD: Ok, but only cause you said please.
(Sound of opening door.)
GW: Look alive. Three contacts!
(Multiple gunshots.)
SM: One down.
FS: BEM down. Is that how ya say that?
TL: Dette er for min søster, du dritt. (Gunshot) Kill confirmed.
OD: Room secure. I don't see anything that looks like a control panel or instruments. Must be in that smaller room. Prepare to breach door...er...field...eh, door.
(Door sound)
GW: One of those things that disappeared at the last crash site.
(Running footsteps, electrical sound.)
FS: Target stunned. Vahlen said she wanted one of these back alive, right? I mean, that's what the report said.
SM: You actually bother to read the reports?
X-Com1: Thermal Burst indicates no additional targets. Secure perimeter and stand by for salvage team. X-Com1 out.
