Battle Report, 27 May - OPERATION DRIVING FIST

The LZ is at the head of a narrow, scrubby canyon, leading down into the valley where our intel puts the UFO.  The forest is alive with organic noises - rustling and clicks and a kind of insane giggling.

A force of Floaters quickly swarms up over the ridge.  The veterans, Cyclops and Boghead, react first: two explosions of flame and ichor light up the night.  The other Floaters swarm over them, but Cpl. Lambert drops them one by one from a vantage point on other side of the rift.  Lambert is the star of the op, no doubt - Sgt. Gryspeerdt's been calling him "Enigma", as it's a mystery how he got so good.

After their initial attack, the enemy forces seem spent.  The UFO was secured with unexpected ease, a cat and mouse exchange with the alien pilot brought to an abrupt end when it ran face first into Boghead's rifle.

The UFO is in pristine condition, a stroke of luck to lighten up a difficult time.  R&D are besides themselves.  I can't help feeling suspicious, however.
