XCOM: The Long War Ep. 52 - Operation Purple Engine
5XCOM: Enemy Within + Long War Mod Beta 15f
The second Raider crash site has been secured, providing both increased resources and valuable training for several of XCOM's less experienced operatives. Possibly the most valuable retrieval from the site is yet another living captive - one of the Floater aliens. This captive will need to be contained for a sizable length of time, as without a better understanding of alien biocybernetics, Dr. Vahlen's team cannot even begin to attempt an autopsy of the species, let alone an interrogation.
Having shot down two scouting Raiders, the interceptor fleet is presented with a third. The pilots agree to a one-two punch - Captain Turnbull's sortie weakens but deliberately doesn't destroy the UFO, allowing Flight Officer "Hectic" Wu to take the kill and earn the promotion to Lieutenant. Unlike the last two raider craft, this third one explodes on impact, leaving no survivors. The resulting cash bounty is far more useful for the moment than a third crash site, as XCOM's soldiers have been heavily fatigued. Several operatives return to service just as a larger threat enters North American airspace - an Abductor craft. Opting not to engage in the air, the craft is allowed to reach its destination, triggering an abduction site in Los Angeles, United States. With fresh troops re-entering service, XCOM deploys to secure the Los Angeles AO.
