Mission Report:

After satilite readings picked up an Unidentifed Flying Object above Europe, Intercepter 2 was deployed to engage. Within 2 hours we recieved word of our first air to air victory. Intercepter 2 returned to HQ with minor damage and a 4 man squad was deployed to the crash site in order to ensure any survivors are eliminated and that an valuable research materials are recovered.

Our team arrived at the site reporting an all clear. As they approached the downed UFO they encountered a token resistance which was put down almost as quickly as it appeared. However as Squaddie Arnold approached the UFO as part of a successful flank, an unknown entity materialised within the UFO. Squaddie Arnold opened fire with his pistol and managed to score a hit. However the entity responded, injuring Squaddie Arnold who paniced and returned fire. Either by fate or sheer luck Squaddie Arnold scored a second hit causing the entity to dematerialise. With the entity gone the crash site was secured for X-com.

All Enemies were elimanted and no agents were lost.

All 4 members of the team were promoted to Corporal for their efforts

I've just recieved word that the council is ready to speak to me with a new request. Since the mission we have completed the alien containment room and finished research on alien weaponary as well as a new sidearm designed to knock out aliens. I'd report further but the Council is waiting.
