*BEGIN RECORDING*
Wednesday, January 13th, 1999.
For Christ's sake, I saw this on television the other day:
A smarmy looking, meticulously groomed, Caucasian anchor appears on the screen. The words "X-COM: FRIEND OR FOE?" scroll beneath him.
Anchor: Good evening. As you may or may not be aware, a clandestine operation has been underway to combat the extraterrestrial presence here on Earth. Globally financed, heavily armed, and held to account only by the wallets of anonymous officials. This operation is called X-COM. During their latest outing, this footage was captured:
What seems to be video from a handheld camera appears on screen. A tank rolls into view, muffled shouting can be heard between the tank's external speakers and a man following behind it. The tank suddenly comes to a stop, rotates it's turret, and fires at what appears to be an empty track of fencing; annihilating the fence, and heavily damaging the house behind it. A voice in the distance can be heard yelling "Awesome!".
Anchor: We'd like to invite a group of commentators here tonight to discuss this issue, and hopefully provide some framing to this shocking video. Tonight I'd like to welcome Kathy Green, best selling author of What's Right With America, and frequent contributor to our program, Benedict Turwald, our senior liberal analyst, and Chris Redding, owner of UFOTruth.com. Welcome, panel.
The group exchanges pleasantries.
Anchor: So, this clip has been making quite a stir latel-
Kathy: You know what, and I'm sorry to interrupt you, but this is a perfect example of the kind of thing that happens when democrats take military authority away from our government, and hand it over to some third party entity like the U.N., or this "X-COM".
Anchor: But the funding was approved by both parti-
Kathy: Sure it was, despite protests by people like senator Ja...
Ben: Now come on!
Kathy: and William Bu..
Ben: This is a ridiculous point to even attempt to make!
Kathy: Dems threatening a filibuste..
Ben: Can I please speak!?
Anchor: Alright, let's not turn this into a shouting match. Benedict, go ahead.
Ben: The people she's naming were an obvious minority.
Kathy: Regardless, you saw the video! We can't allow this kind of wanton violence to go unchecked! Even in our own backyards, have you heard the stories from New York? Houses being destroyed, uncontrollable blazes being left in their wak-
Ben: Wanton violence!? You got that from a 15 second clip? Who knows what they were up against!
Anchor: So you believe X-COM is a positive force?
Ben: Now I wouldn't go that far, I mean I'm uncomfortable with their lack of oversight. From the photos that have been taken it appears that their entire operation consists of blond haired, blue eyed, white men.
Anchor: So you're saying X-COM may be some kind of racist organization?
Ben: Some people might say that, yes. I'm not going to sling allegations, though. I'm just very uncomfortable with their hiring practices. There have even been reports of known criminals working for them, and I don't think those are the kind of people we want running around our neighborhoods holding state of the art killing machines.
Anchor: I notice you've been rather quiet, Chris.
Chris: Well, yeah. I just can't believe you people buy into this alien menace thing, man.
Anchor: You're talking about the claims that the aliens are only responding to our own hostilities, correct?
Chris: Yeah, man, like shooting down one of their ships in Roswell. Like how would you feel if South Africa or something shot down one of our planes, man.
Kathy: That's just what a wingnut like you would say.
Chris: Wingnut? That's funny coming from a corporate shill!
Kathy: How dare yo-
The panel erupts into arguement and shouting.
The video suddenly ends.

Did you hear that bullsh#t? I can't believe this. I'm so angry right now.

Wednesday, January 20th, 1999.
The Japanese government has agreed to convert one of their Kiryu-Kai bases into a new X-COM base, so that we may operate out of the south pacific:
We've decided to name it Nixon's Crib in honor of our fallen comrade. That's not the only naming that's been going on, Dr. Dingo has designed a new tank based off of our laser weapon systems. Since we weren't able to find any new operators he designed a basic AI system, and is calling it the Postulate-1. He also promised me a big surprise in the coming weeks.
We also have our new recruits in:
They all seem to be upstanding soldiers. Except Jester, who forced his way into the group and babbles incoherently for hours on end about the most juvenile things, and curses like a sailor.
*END RECORDING*
*BEGIN RECORDING*
All this naming going on has got me thinking about the old mariners tales of ships without names, and how it's bad luck. Perhaps I should ask the squad to submit names for our two Skyrangers.
It's certainly an idea.
*END RECORDING*
Alright, I need names for our two ships.Last edited by Garr123; 09-21-2007, 09:09 AM."At first it just looked like a picture of a bunch of lily pads, but then I started scraping at it with my pocket knife and the whole painting just sort of spoke to me," Schmidt said.

Name one of them the Enola Gay.
As for my stats, is there anything thing I excel in compared to the others? I'll take some light armor if there is such a thing.Last edited by Dusk Raven; 09-21-2007, 08:06 AM.Comment

I created your character, Jvr.

Hopefully the base named after me will not be the scene of a horrible attack in which all the recruits are slaughtered like baby lambs.
