XCOM: Enemy Within - Episode 76 (Morbid Fear)
871st of September, 2015:
EXALT have their backs against the wall, and like any cornered animal, this has only made them more dangerous...
As expected, when pressed, EXALT threw themselves at our troops with renewed conviction, resulting in several of our troops receiving minor wounds. Thankfully, nothing that would require them to stay in medbay. Still, it is a good reminder that while our soldiers are very well trained and well armed, they aren't immortal.
But, minor wounds aside, the operation proceeded smoothly, though with some property damage I would have rather we had avoided. While Bradford seems to consider the priceless works of art and artefacts from antiquity to be a sign of EXALT's weakness, I believe they are something more... given how much they were willing to sacrifice to fight us on even terms, to even exceed us in some areas, growing closer and closer to the inhuman threat which loomed over us. Perhaps these were an effort to remind themselves of where they came from. Art and literature to remind them of what they were fighting for, what they had sacrificed their bodies to protect.
Pointless conjecture at this point, I suppose. EXALT are gone, and with them gone, we can at last turn our attention to the aliens themselves. Still, I can't help feeling that as we continue to drive ourselves forward to meet this threat, that we may be forgetting where we began, and why it was important to do this to begin with...
