We are proud to present Frosty's backstory by SuperFrosty (Continued)

I have heard many stories of their ruthless interrogation methods. Probing your mind, depriving you of sleep or disguising themselves in the corpses of your brethren were their favourite methods. But actually it was quite nice. Their underwater base had a brilliant view of the ocean, the special freezer they built for me was quaint and even the snowman they built, while inanimate, was a nice touch. Even the regular meals of cookies made from stiff dough were edible. I told them my history, were I came from and what I was doing here. Intrigued, the man assigned to interrogate me, Captain Pathfinding, handed me a human rifle.

"So, you want to join X-Com, eh?" Captain Pathfinding was not your sharpest tool in the box. How he picked up a gal like Miss Click, I shall never know.

"Well, it's either let me fight, or melt me," I replied eagerly. Pathfinding headed for the shooting range with me in tow. After many wrong turns and general fuckups, we finally made it. I made my way to the armoury while he grumbled something about his atrocious navigation skills. Gun in hand, I braced myself, held my breath and squeezed the trigger. A clean miss. Pathfinding grunted. Several shots later, I failed to land a hit.

"Well, 0% accuracy, numerous flaws due to snowman heritage and the increasing price of air-conditioning! You may just be the worst soldier to date! Welcome to X-Com, you'll fit right in!"
