Well, I saw how upset Beef got when she was referred to as a he, so I figured I should be especially careful around my CO.

Oh, and FPJ. You'll be in charge of cleaning the alien containment sanitary facilities from now on. The normal staff had to be fired to reduce maintenance, and as you seem so concerned with reducing this base's operating costs, I thought you'd be honored to take this task uppon you.[/quote]
I'll be honored to delegate it to one of my men, yes. Any volunteers, men?

Ok people, listen up, this is a LEVEL 1 EMERGENCY!!! Apparently the aliens decided to go for the "Do nothing most of the month and then near the end totally overwhelm X-Com so that they don't have time to avoid the negative monthly report" plan again.

This is our situation. We've got 4 very large UFOs that landed on 2 cities of USA (2 per city).
However, USA has already been taken so that's not our priority, even though it'll still make us look bad. Our priority is a landed small UFO on Canada. Why? We suspect that this is an Infiltrator UFO that'll try to take Canada off our funding sheet as well, backed up by the fact that we've just detected a new alien base on Canada.

So this is the battle plan: Since Skyranger-2 took the last Alien Base mission, Skyranger-1 will take this one. Skyranger-2 will take the small UFO. Hopefully we can stop them before it's too late, otherwise we're out for a load of trouble. Not to mention the very large UFOs. If we're lucky, they won't cause too damage to us. But that's a very big IF right there.

To conclude, whatever comes out of this we're gonna go through some rough times. If we do lose Canada our funding's really gonna go down the drain, and even if we don't we're still gonna be very "on the edge". Good luck to all you soldiers, and hope we emerge victorious from this.

Holy, not Canada, anything but Canada, we got to do something, we can't lose Canada, we lose them we lose their beer too, think of the beer people, the beer!!! Oh yeah and hockey can't forget about hockey. :angel: Let's go frag some aliens.

I think hockey would become more interesting with aliens controlling it. And on the beer I count mostly on Ireland and a couple of other countries.

Hockey and aliens hmmm interesting concept, we'd still whup em though just like everybody else :bleh: mwhaha yeah I know other places for beer but ya can't beat a good ol Canadian Beer *opens a can* Anyone else want one, I brought some over when I transfered here. :whistle:

Could we give the Swedish hockey team also to the aliens? Finland just might have a chance to win again.

ill stay at base cleaning my bunk.it will be probably more dangerous than killing some aliens

I call the next carnivorous sock. we can't bring in pets, but if i get one inside the compound...

Spooky: Let's see now... Skyranger 1. Nyuk nyuk... Now, how do I fly this thing? Right guys, before you know it, we'll be heading for Moscow! Vodka! Old Soviet-era trinkets! Cossacks!

Fruity: There aren't cossacks in Moscow.

Hush.

(door to Skyranger closes)

Fruity: Did you do that?

Spooky: No...

(message bleeps on screen in cockpit. Spooky investigates)

Spooky: Uh-oh.

(Skyranger takes off)

Fruity: Did you do that?

Spooky: No! Kosta did! It says since we're all gathered in the Skyranger, we might as well leave to take out that new alien base that's been found!

Fruity: Oh no. Goodbye, semi-colons...

Spooky: Why didn't you tell me there was a remote-control for this thing?

Fruity: YOU wanted to fly the damn thing...

Spooky: Sigh...

(finds a thermos and sips coffee)

when did I die??? :blink::blink::cricket::cricket:
