XCOM Stories #26

It's the VIP escort mission (Thorne) and you forget to bring a medikit on Jeng (support). Which gets hit for 4/6 hp as you land. Those fucking thinmen and their plasma rifles.

Jeng then gets poisoned by another thinman's spit and proceeds to die at the beginning of the next turn.

Panic ensues and in the confusion, Zinchenko (assault) takes aim and puts a shotgun blast right through the face of the VIP from 30m out.

That's the quintessential XCOM experience right there.

So, it has come to this: CEO of Total dies in plane crash in Moscow

Russia's back, baby! The motives are obscured, but by the looks of it, it sure is a "freak" accident. Like something out of a 007 movie (Pussy Galore, anyone?)

From theguardian:

The Falcon Dassault business aviation jet crashed as it prepared to take off for Paris with De Margerie and three crew on board. “During run-up at 11.57pm there was a collision with the airport’s snow plough. As a result of the crash the passenger and all the crew members died,” the Vnukovo airport said in a statement. The driver of the snowplough survived.
