Hello again.

Well, this is October, 12th. I knew this day would come eventually. And to be real, I'm kinda scared. I've failed my offscreen Superhuman attempt in TFTD, so this is a reason to be afraid I might not win this one...

This LP technically is a sequel to UFO Defense LP, so you know what to expect. Except much harder and much longer. The rules are the same as well with some differences:
- If I go to two-parter missions, I separate them in different parts if one of parts is longer than a hour; they count as one episode though
- When I capture a certain Commander I have to research him and his end-game topic above everything else
- When I research that topic I have to launch a final mission in 10 episodes after revealing the topic
- I have to assault the ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE Alien Colony before the second year
- No more than 70 episodes

So, who's in this LP:
New:
- Everyone listed with "Will appear in TFTD" from dossiers in FiraxisCOM videos; the ones with links to UFO Defense soldiers will appear eventually
- The Unknown Commenter: people responsible for those mysterious comments on my videos
- The Unknown Watcher: people that watch my videos at all

Returning:
From everything XCOM:
- Kovarik the Unbreakable
- Wrath Seeker
From UFO Defense only:
- Ferguson/Shinestar (he was on the cover)
- Dumitru Dumitru
From FiraxisCOMs only, one or both:
- Tina Polyakova/Tinty
- Heike Wagnerson
- Rita Thornton
- Salmon Grain
- Lena Schulz
- Killian Walsh/Second Raetezer
- Nicoletta Gasparatto
From UFO Defense and one of FiraxisCOMs:
- Meridian (as Parallel, "his relative": Meridian's soldier died during UFO Defense LP)
- Resolutor
- Papatamelis
More may return, but it will probably happen after first synonium site

I decided that because listing songs would eat more than 5000 symbols available for descriptions here, I should list them at the end along with credits to composers that made them.

Because this is also a sequel, Ferguson can't be the man on the cover advertising every episode any longer, so I deployed Tinty to do this here. But Ferguson will always be here...

For story purposes any people well into their 80s according to XCOM dossiers can't participate. But 70s and younger are a fair game.

I've also decided to ditch the uniformity for covers. I asked my friend about providing me some screenshots for background from the game "Subnautica", so you don't have to stare at a planet for 35 episodes. The background will reflect the main mission of the episode (in case there's more than one) and it's time (day/night).

You could also notice that I have some happy music here - I can explain that in the first stages of this LP they have a deceptive happiness for them. If I make it to the Synonium device, everything will become grimdark, but for a while I want to listen to some cheery chiptune while battling the horrors from the Deep.

This is all. Let's begin this episode already and hope that I can actually manage to finish this...

PS: I had a horrible drawing of Tinty since October, but in 14th of March I decided to replace it with more fitting XCOM/Sims-style thumbnail which fits for the rest of the series. The 5 following episodes follow suit.
