XCOM Chimerian Squadron - Episode 20
0==== Began uploading on 2023, January, 15th, 2:14 ====
Hello again.
Here's the link for that official lore that I've promised to bring you in episode 19's description: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1e...
Chimerian Squadron today gives us some stuff way too reminiscent of Enemy Unknown era, the exact same stuff that I didn't enjoy there.
Practically the one that makes or breaks playthroughs on high difficulties, especially early on.

JARED'S MIND
BRAIN MEMORY: INVASION IS HELL, PART 3
DATE: 8-SEPTEMBER-2015
==========================
START MEMORY
Fiery wind blows in my face.
Toxic fumes eat the eyes.
Covering them with my LMG helps little.
The only way for us is forward.
Here's the bridge.
Civilians underneath.
All injured, several with critical wounds.
But they're somewhat close to us.
They need to be saved.
Several people grab them and carry to our APC.
Those who can move on their own help.
One spot is definitely not secure, but safe for extraction.
Radio reports scream all over in our radios.
Next civilian refuge is in the zoo.
Then it's where we're going.
While it's really not too late.
Tanks follow us on the left side.
Heavily damaged, a few of them covered in smoke.
Pilots and crew scared, but still ready to defy the otherwoldly force.
And eager to buy us some well-needed time.
We're close, the zoo is quiet.
The second party of civilians are seen...
(((SOME ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM TO BE)))
Ah, what was that... My head...
Oh, it's nothing. It gets better.
Just catching breath after moving through the toxic cloud.
Wait a bit...
I see something moving in the dark.
Definitely not the civvies... they carry the guns.
And they mark them at us.
LMG shall not grant them a strike at us.
Before Jared starts shooting, the shadows demand to know who are the soldiers. It turns out that the shadows are the zoo security, having picked up guns from fallen soldiers nearby
Phew, almost lost it.
Not just me though.
The officer is also deeply stressed out.
Good to see that...
(((DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN, IT ISN'T OVER)))
Ah, jeez, headaches in the worst moment...
Jared and his comrades don't see that instantly, but one of civilians who sat at furthest, suddenly gets up. He reveals himself to be a Thin Man, taking a backstab shot at several of Jared's comrades, killing them instantly
SHOOT!
Jared jumps behind the fence that used to house a giraffe, with security and surviving infantry trading shots with the Thin Man. As Thin Man runs around, he takes more and more precision strikes, killing not only the combatants, but also civilians that try to get away
That's it, you backstabbing crap - YOUR DINNER IS THE RIGHTEOUS RETRIBUTION!
Jared gets up over the fence and starts shooting the LMG. Thin Man was fast, but not enough to dodge the volley of fire directed at him. He's shredded apart by bullets, and his dead body falls over into a pool
Damn, I can't believe it.
We actually can punch them where it hurts...
But at what price... Half of squad is gone...
The officer, where she is... Oh, no...
*Jared runs to the officer. Thin Man had managed to shot off both her arms in one precision strike previously - and she bleeds out in deep pain. The team medic is still alive and starts to stabilize her bleeding.
Explosions are heard closer and closer - it's obvious that team can't stay in the zoo forever*
Medic, do something to Kaitleen... Yes, that's it.
(with relief) Our officer will live.
But only me, the medic and surviving security personnel can fight now.
We can't continue like this, we need to get out.
A chief of security, still alive, finds a sanitary strecher designed to carry medium-sized animals. The civilians who managed to survive and didn't ran off in panic agreed to carry the officer in exchange of protection of Jared and security
We need to treat her before we can get out...
Jared and the compant leave the zoo
Zoo behind. Back in the heat.
This fight is scary. And a sad reality of mine.
How I could be so stupid to not see the danger before?
Unless I'm...
(((THEY NEVER FOUGHT FAIRLY, RELYING ON DIRTY TRICKS AND WAVES OF SLAVES TO DO THEIR BIDDING.
BUT YOU ARE DIFFERENT. AND YOU SHALL SURVIVE)))
Maybe they can even shatter our own thoughts for their nefarious purposes... Maybe I'm even under their control now.
It's nothing out of reality anymore...
Jared and the company get into the building on the other side of the road that is still standing. The medic, now being the highest in command, calls the APC to carry them out of the battle. The APC arrives
Kaitleen, you're saf...
(((WATCH OUT, THEY'RE RIGHT BEHIND YOU)))
Jared falls in pain on the floor from his continued headache. But this saves him from a potshot taken by a rogue Sectoid. Plasma hits the APC and badly, but it didn't blew up. The medic grabs Jared's LMG and rips apart the Sectoid with bullets
What's happening... please let it stop...
