Cdr. Amyus Bale - Personal log - 24 April

Sq. Zoe McGee

A long quiet stretch.  God knows we need the rest.

XCOM Knowle is subdued.  Sqs. McGee, Lambert and Langran-Goldsmith are raring to go, but the rest of us...

Sq. Gabriel Lambert

The Council member for Brazil badgers me day and night.  While our strike team set out for Acapulco, Manaus was hit hard by the extraterrestrials.  Now the country is in chaos - and the government wants me to reimpose order.  I'm done with them: it's not my job to point guns at people.

Sq. Fernanda Langran-Goldsmith

R&D have finally started prototyping body armour fabricated from UFO plating.  They say it will be lighter, stronger and more resistant to laser fire than conventional armour.

The kind of thing that might have saved lives if we'd had it before.
