XCOM: Enemy Within - Episode 27 (Blinding Vanguard)
9520th of May, 2015:
Operation Lost Bell went better than I could have expected, with Atheist Cat performing superbly in the difficult role of incapacitating aliens in order to recover their weaponry.
That said, there were a number of risks taken by the squad which resulted in the engagement escalating far faster than I would have liked. Despite this, our soldiers dealt with the increasingly unfavourable odds with the same calm, determined professionalism that I've grown to count on.
Special mention must be made of the outstanding performance of David Powell in the role of field medic. I have no doubt that without his quick thinking and expert use of a medkit (I wonder if Doctor Moriarty has been giving him pointers?) at least one of our soldiers would have been carried out of BigSky on a stretcher once the crew returned to base.
However, things aren't going nearly as well off the field as on. By the time I'd returned to the situation room, China had already entered a state of panic, with India, France, and Nigeria close behind... it's clear we need to do something to restore faith in our ability to handle the alien threat, but what?
For the time being though, there are more direct concerns that demand my attention. Namely, Mr Magoo is due to make contact with us in just a few days. I have no idea what to expect, but I imagine we'll need to be ready to mobilise an extraction crew at a moments notice.
