As the last episode ended, the team was about to embark on investigation of several buildings the UFOs may have deployed aliens into.
Unfortunately, most of our team is more or less out of the fight - it's all up to GTX2GvO, Paco, AlumiuN, Fortis and Data now.
Location: Rescue Three
We've been here. Twice. What the hell do the Aliens find so attractive in this place?

GTX: I've got some readings. Right under us.
We go, and find a Brainsucker.

GTX: Another reading.

Following the light on the scanner display, the team finds themselves facing a Multiworm.

Easily dispatched, altough Data is wounded in the process.

Seems those were the only two aliens here.

Searches in Utopia Mansions and Galactic Central yield no results. In Hypermart Zone, however...
Location: Hypermart Zone
We spot an alien creature right away... it's one of those damned eggs!
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_256.png
GTX: Watch out, people! We're supposed to bring this one alive!
From the lift, a Brainsucker and Hyperworm come at us... unfortunately for them. Then, another sight we've been expecting - a Spitter!

The team switches to Stun Grapples immediately, and the creature is overwhelmed as soon as it walks through the door.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_258.png
GTX: Okay, I'll take care of that egg.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_259.png
The egg is doused in stun gas, and almost instantly stops firing. But a commotion elsewhere in the mall tells our team their job is not quite done yet...

Anthropods - two of them. No match for our firepower.

Well, tell you what - we managed to bad both specimens our R&D boys asked for!
(and where the hell did the score screenshot go!?)
No aliens found in New Empire Tower, but there is a bunch at Lineage Foundation.
Locations: Lineage Foundation
Now, that's some comfy interior... pity we don't have such rich furnishings at the base.

We run in into a Popper, and... well, "pop" it. There is a Spitter, but it quickly loses us in the maze of corridors.

The team move to the park on the upper level of the building...
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_268.png
...and like if on cue, runs into trouble.

Facing no less than three Anthropods, Data decides to let caution and precision slip for the moment and switches to his Mini-launcher. This pretty much means the alien creatures are staring at the end of their short, brutal and ugly lives.

A Brainsucker jumps out on us, but is quickly shot down, missing one of the troops by mere inches.

Two aliens move in from two opposite sides - a Multiworm and a Spitter. AlumiuN is wounded. I believe his skull is made from titanium steel or something - that's second head wound in just as many days.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_277.png
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...2/tacp_278.png
We kill the Spitter, and pursue the Multiworm which has slithered off somewhere.

Finally, we get it and pound the alien to death with bullets. This ends the mission.

Since we've sure we checked all buildings, and the team is not in the shape for any more missions at the time, we return to the base.
This is the score for today:

At 4 AM next day, we receive report on the Popper specimen.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7.../ufo2p_153.png
Ten minutes later, we've got another alert - it seems the Scout we downed has managed to deploy some aliens. The infiltration graphs also prove it, so we'll have to run a shakedown operation later.

For now, we've got to clean up at a certain police station. Luckily, except for Eagle of Fire and Data, the team is in top fighting condition.
