Will do, commander. As soon as you let me write my insane theories on Meld :p And just to clarify...I'm asking to specifically step forward so I can discuss terms of working with their characters (or just play out a scene).

Another out of the blue question. I'm considering the possibility of having Vahlen spend some of her off-time in the bar. Would there be anyone willing to interact with her, as she sits alone with her beer, sifting through the day's data?

The impression I got was that interrogation itself is the cause of death of the ones interrogated. After that however, as Dragonvion pointed out, aliens that are captured seem to join the corpses rather quickly, suggesting that XCom doesn't even bother trying to keep them alive. I always...

Well, I admit, all I need for the post is to know that Vahlen can see it, which I think we've seen is a given. As for the rest, I'll let the more military minded debate it, since it's getting very late. Also, Gorgutz 'ead 'unter...I'm watching you.

Eh...right...I meant to say that I'll...buy you a small dessert say... a dumpling when all of this is over...while we're reminiscing about it.

Good man, you get to be dumped in a relatively small desert after we're done with your memory.

I'd love to know too...while I'm out of shape now, when I hit my stride I have the bad habit of writing posts the length of your average research article. Okay, mission control then. It's not far from the labs anyway, and makes more sense than my idea.

And yet, the cinematics and some of the dialogue suggests that some people have information as it comes. Shen and Vahlen react to things as they happen in the longer mission, without any apparent knowledge of what's to come, and how the mission ended, and are around at the ends of missions...

We'd have some pretty magical scene editors then :D Though in all the idea does sound rather solid. Still, I'd think Odd would have real time information. Bradford congratulating him on the mission's end otherwise, would seem...weird, considering he had no chance to interfere. And I didn't...

Hey guys...I might have missed some discussions along these lines, but I wanted to ask if anyone's wondered how news reaches the base so quickly. Or more to the point, I've been thinking (and am planning to integrate in my post) the idea of a live feed from the active soldiers, viewed by Odd...

I was too panicked to give it much heed at the time. The only reason she got killed that mission was because I was still learning the ropes, and didn't realize how far enemies could shoot, so I was already in an angry rush, spurred on the by the sight of my funny haired sniper painting a wall he...

Lucky. My first roster contained a single Russian blonde, that turned heavy, and was then eaten by Chyssalids around the time I had some laser weapons with me. Took me quite a while to get my "Flight of the Valkyries".

Well I volunteered for Vahlen, and I don't think anyone agrees with her policy on explosives, so there you have it. Sadly, it's in the character not in me though, so so much for that. And looking forward to seeing who ends up where, once things get rolling.

Did I miss a reference, or did I just fail to get something :D

Wouldn't argue with that. Never said they would be an asset, or a good thing. Just said it wouldn't see them gunning allies down...unless they get pissed off by them. If memory serves psychopaths aren't good at behavioral inhibition. But if they're like that, I highly doubt they'd have...

I haven't read any applications that suggest that kind of symptoms (though in all honesty, I haven't read many), and I'd say that any kind of psychosis that's resistant to medication would be problematic, for both the positive and the negative symptoms, no matter how minor or major. If they...

Now, I hate being the boring bastard to say this, but being psychotic and being a psychopath are very, very different things. Sorry if I misunderstood you. And being a psychopath would hardly see you gunning your allies down, especially if you're aware that your life depends on them. Pushing...

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors for all! And maybe beta blockers after each mission that went bad. Hope you didn't expect to last long after this job, because you'll be stuffed with more meds than we could fit in you in the presence of any kind of ethical controls.

We still haven't a clue how it happened. For all we know not one of them got through far enough. Maybe they used a seeker, to this end, since one would have to be invisible to get there and not be at least spotted by the security cameras.

Sadly, if I were to play Vahlen, I wouldn't be a solder and hence in line for any of those...though I'm sad to report that 35 meld and most of our explosives were lost during the base assault.
