    All right.

    First. I'm not playing on Ironman just in case something corrupts with a sudden power flicker.

    Skip intro.

    Skip tutorial.

    No one needs that.
    It's the same thing every time.
    Find a youtube video "xcom 2 intro tutorial mission" if you want to see it.

    Shinji Ikari> I think so.
    Shinji Ikari> Ii won't reach those two at the back though.

    2021-09-20_132408.png

    Gainax_Mahjong_char_018.jpg

    Misato Katsuragi> Hmm. Let me think about this.
    Misato Katsuragi> We should maximize our opening shot as much as possible.

    Gainax_Mahjong_char_027.jpg

    Gendo Ikari> Budgeting issues for body armor is not my problem, Bradford sent you out like this.
    Gendo Ikari> Your terrible aim sounds like a "you" problem.

    2021-09-20_132412.png

    Gainax_Mahjong_char_018.jpg

    Misato Katsuragi> Rei, move on a little closer to the left behind the planters.

    Misato Katsuragi> We don't know what else is out there.
    Misato Katsuragi> If someone's getting shot at, it better be me.

    Bradford> The ADVENT officers seem more capable than the grunts.
    Bradford> We're not sure to chalk it up to training or stricter mind control.

    Gainax_Mahjong_char_017.jpg

    Misato Katsuragi> Shit.

    2021-09-20_132642.png

    Gainax_Mahjong_char_018.jpg

    Misato Katsuragi> There's no other place to go from here.
    Misato Katsuragi> Either I take a low-probability shot, or...

    Misato Katsuragi> Rei, get over here and go into overwatch.

    Gainax_Mahjong_char_018.jpg

    Misato Katsuragi> Do you have a clear angle?

    Gainax_Mahjong_char_003.jpg

    Shinji Ikari> I think so.
    Shinji Ikari> One of them isn't in cover from my perspective.

    Gainax_Mahjong_char_018.jpg

    Asuka Langley-Sohryu> Their aim is shit.

    Gainax_Mahjong_char_019.jpg

    Misato Katsuragi> You're too close to the enemy!
    Misato Katsuragi> They can flank you just as easily as you want to flank them!
