31st of August, 2015:

I was not the only person in mission control that noticed what a good team Brandi Bear and the SHIV made, nor was I the only one who noticed the fact that, besides the imposing bulk of Brandi Bear's MEC, the SHIV resembled a pet, rolling about her as she progressed through the battle field to engage distant, or heavily entrenched targets. I imagine we'll be seeing more of this duo in future missions, as if nothing else, this mission served to highlight just how useful the SHIV units could be.

Of course, Brandi Bear and Goliath weren't the only ones to perform well. Erika Kassan performed admirably, and I imagine she will go far here in XCOM if she continues to perform so well.

However, a poorly executed attack by Zhang lead to a vehicle exploding, along with the intended EXALT operative. Unfortunately, said vehicle was being used as cover by Evelynn at the time. Thankfully, it seems her improved armour absorbed the entirety of the blast, leaving her without anything more serious than a few bruises. Still, it's never good for moral when one of the troops is harmed as a result of our own actions, and as with previous instances, I'll need to make sure someone has a word with both of them, to make sure there's no bad blood.

Still, once the EXALT forces were dealt with, we were able to round off the mission with two promotions. Now, all that remains is to meet with the council as this month gives way to the next, and then... then I fancy we're going to put an end to this EXALT interference. Permanently.
