On this Evening, we sustained multiple losses
The invader, changed their tactics, engaging in a full on terror attack in Suez, Egypt. Our XCOM Unit was sent in to deal with the invaders, a squad led by Aleksandr "Mighty" Bosstones.
the Mission was simple enough. Protect the civilians and usher them to safety. We first encountered some floaters. tricky ones to hit, but our soldier did their best, but not without issue. a fresh recruit, Kate Cooper, fumbled at the trigger and was subsequently killed by a Floater. This poor girl had so much hope in her eye.
Soon after we rought vengeance upon the Floaters, something new arrived. it was like nothing we had seen before, like a giant insect. a group of 4 of these creatures skittered in, and tore apart two civilians in front of our eyes. we dispatched them, as quickly as we could, but soon after the bodies of those they gored stood up and went on the offensive. They were quickly dealt with.
It seems we were in the clear after that, but there were still so many people to go and save. The Squad push foreward, going to civilian after civlian.
Fresco Vegetablés had a very keen eye, and beyond the civilian he was heading to, there he saw it floating in the sky. One last floater. he rush towards the defenless woman to make sure she could escape, but such hopes and dreams were not in his future. He made sure to cover the woman's exit as best he could, and caught a Plasma blast in the back. His loss is a great one to the squad, as he was a great asset to us, and a fine man.
Fresco's actions and deeds until the very end would have made Pamela proud, but at least now they can be together again in Heaven.
