Day One
Another day began at the XCOM headquarters.
Feloreena, the Commander of the XCOM Project, sat in the Mission Control facility, mindlessly staring at the Geoscape holo-globe. She repeatedly pushed the “Scan for Activity” button over and over again. “Not much going on today,” she mumbled under her breath. As she got up to go and check if there was something more interesting going on in the Laboratory, a message flashed up on her monitor.
'INCOMING COUNCIL COMMUNICATION!
The Council is requesting your presence in the Situation Room.'
Switching her step to head to the Situation Room, she was soon greeted by a shadowy figure appearing on screen.
“Hello, Commander.
We've intercepted a signal indicating that an abductee was able to escape alien captivity, and there is a limited window of opportunity to attempt an extraction. Be careful, as there is a rogue-like organisation attempting to intercept any rescue mission that arrives at the scene. You will not simply be dealing with the extraterrestrials this time. By the time your troops are on the ground, Central should have our complete intelligence report available.
Remember, we will be watching...”
The transmission ended, and a location was presented: Toulouse, France. As
Feloreena turned to alert the troops at the Barracks, she was ambushed by an unknown entity. Before she could try to see their face, she could already feel the life being drained from her as a thick liquid was injected into her neck.
Minutes later,
Central came rushing into the Situation Room. Unfortunately, the culprit had already fled the scene. He fell to his knees at the lifeless corpse of his Commander. A single tear rolled down his cheek, “We will get our revenge... all our enemies will die. I will avenge you, Commander, and I will find the traitor that did this.”
Feloreena (Commander), never awoke again.
You have 48 hours to decide who to lynch. It takes 18 to reach majority. Day One ends on Wednesday 9th July at 23:00 (GMT).
