16th of May, 2015:
With a mission behind us and the feelings of accomplishment high amongst the troops, I was afforded some time to reflect on our progress. While I'm generally very pleased with the work being done on expanding the base, I worry that we may be falling behind, especially regarding our science labs.

This has already begun to hamper the progress of our research projects, as Dr Vahlen has taken pains to explain to me. With a projected 44 days to research the alien plasma rifle I wonder if it might not be better to invest our resources into exploring alternate weapon technologies. However, not everything Dr Vahlen had to report was dire, she finally delivered the results of project Thorax, which focused on developing new tactical armour for our soldiers. Something that has been VERY long overdue!

Undecided on whether to pursue plasma technology or not, I've given her team the goal of taking apart those Seekers, I want to know how they can hide themselves so easily, perhaps we can learn something from an autopsy. Though she'd hardly had time to get through the door from my office, the alarms soon started to sound and Bradford chimed in on the intercom...

The Council had a new request for us, apparently this item we recovered from Zhang is connected to an inbound alien warship on course for China. Details were thin on the ground, and our troops barely had time to properly fit their new armour before they were buckling into the Skyranger and heading for a train station in the heart of Chongqing.

I don't know what the aliens have up their sleeves, but they're unlikely to allow us to interfere with these plans without a fight.
