ZombieSplitter53 and DarkGemini24601: “Lyudi Strannyye, Part 1” “I’m just saying, if you give them all guns, they’ll be able to defend themselves.” Ayame pushed a piece forward. Alexia chuckled. “You just want to stick a gun in the hand of every man, woman, and child, and tell them ‘go shoot...

Zain Shah and DarkGemini24601: “Unexpected Pressure” X-COM Bar 1900 hours Leon steps into the bar, cleanly shaven yet still wearing his labcoat. He goes up to the bartender and says “Anything without that poisonous alcohol.” The bartender quickly pours Leon a drink; Leon observes it at first...

It was suggested that they not be that complex yet, and I rather agree. Think of these, especially Concept III, as a more final version of what she can achieve.

Atka develops her powers more. I have used my limited artistic skills to give you some concepts of what her mindfray looks like. Don't hesitate to tell me what you think. Sorry that Concept I is hard to see.

Psionic Progress I - Atka Ipiktok Atka stepped out of the elevator into the cold wind. Siberia seemed to give the summer months little heed. At least there was no snow currently to reduce visibility. The Inuit woman drew her parka tighter, and started walking. She went up the cliff face before...

Just be careful you don't go so grimdark that it's hard to believe. That's a mistake I see a lot in stories these days.

Again, Marine, you aren't an oracle. Don't predict the future. :confused:

JESUS! He killed the guy that crashed just because he was pretentious? And being stupid?

Guardian Spirits is up. I spent about an hour or two or three total writing that, finding the Inuit names for the animals, removing plotholes. It was originally designed to be a backstory piece for Atka that could be thrown in whenever, but I finished it today and decided to add in connections...

“Guardian Spirits” - Atka Ipiktok 800 hours, XCOM HQ, Somewhere in Siberia Atka stared at the chunk of whale bone that sat in front of her. The Inuit woman spun her carving knife in her hand, unsure of what to shape next. It didn’t help that her thoughts were clouded by the atrocity that had...

I'm a bit confused...why would their the fact that their reproduction is asexual play a factor in how we murder the darn things?

Work on cybernetics by ZombieSplitter and a lecture on chryssalids by myself. Enjoy both of them, though I must admit, I think the Cheshire cat A.I. tops Atka's somber instruction. Loving the Alice in Wonderland theme to Sunny's work. I wonder how "Taqukaq" did on the terror mission...

"Chryssalids" lecture by Atka Ipiktok >Officer Training School, XCOM Headquarters >Recorded at 1100 Hours >Opening File... Atka Ipiktok walked to the center of the room, glancing around at those present. There was a medium-sized audience in the chairs creating a half-ring before her. The XCOM...

Those traitors. Probably brainwashed by some orangish sectoids, but still.

Balance. Ying and yang. Fung-shui. Light and Dark. Red versus Blue. The scales of justice. Twins. The Dark Twins...I'll stop now.

Alright, "Despair" is up. Yeah, it was some heavy stuff. On the bright side, I found a nice shade of blue to use for Modya's thoughts...

DarkGemini24601 and ZombieSplitter53: “Despair, Part 2” 0000 or 2400 hours, midnight in Moscow, and the beginning of April 28th Modya returned to his room, the pain he felt having faded very little, if at all. He put out the cigarette he had, and laid on his bed, unable to sleep. He just stared...

DarkGemini24601 “Despair, Part 1” XCOM Headquarters, around 2230 hours in Moscow, 27th of April… Modya stepped out of the viewing room for the mission that had just been completed. He ignored the worried conversations about Desmond Walker from various staff members from within. It was a...

Understandably enough, this mission is causing an explosion of content. I have another idea for something, but I'll probably end up writing it in the morning tomorrow.
