X-Com Incident Report, 11th June
Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse, another alien craft appeared on an infiltration run.
Aimed at North America again, they must be trying to spread their poisonous influence to Canada. The craft was engaged by an interceptor from Europe and destroyed.

Next came another scout looking for us for retaliation, ye gods they are persistent.
It came in over africa, and Ninjablu launched in the Firestorm, now fully armed, when it hit the Middle East, intercepting it over the western Himalayas and forcing it to the ground. The Skyranger team launched to collect the wreckage.

X-Com Battle Report, UFO Crash Recovery 21
Disembarkation was clear of fire this time, but the aliens were soon spotted waiting along a ridge to the east.
Combined II took care of the southern one.
Whilst Dekkarax hit the one to the north.
Another was spotted sheltering behind the ridge the first had been standing on.
No-one could get a clear shot at it until Birras, demonstrating the capabilities of the new flying suit, fired a rocket down from high altitude. The alien survived the blast, but the rocket blew enough of the rock away that Dekkarax could sight on it and finish it off.

Another intact craft with another load of Elerium. It's fortunate we're encountering these smaller vessels at this time. Larger assaults would be a different ballgame.

X-Com Incident Report, 16th June
Once more, the citizens of the Americas are imperiled by aliens, and their governments turn a blind eye.
The interceptor that used to be stationed at the Asia base had recently been transferred to the USA facility, it launched to intercept this intruder, and downed it over the southern United States. The Skyranger once more saddled up to retrieve.

X-Com Incident Report, 16th June
Whilst the Skyranger was in the air, another alien craft approached South East Asia, scouting for targets for a terror strike,
The firestorm launched as before, and it was forced down well short of any population centres in the region. It will be retrieved as soon as possible.

X-Com Battle Report, UFO Crash Recovery 22
As soon as AceDiamond exited the skyranger on this mission, he spotted a Floater in ambush position in a first floor window.
Taking advantage of the hovertank's ability to fly at altitude, he fired through the window and hit the creature. It survived the first hit and fired back, but with a stun bomb, ineffective against a remote operated vehicle, and Ace's second shot killed it.
Exploring the LZ further, Ace spotted a second Floater behind a hedge.
No-one could get an angle to shoot at it thanks to the hedge and tree cover, so Dekkarax threw a grenade over the hedge, which blasted the alien, and most of the trees, to bits.
No more aliens were outside at the LZ, but as AceDiamond approached the UFO he spotted one inside through a hole in the roof.
After a brief exchange of fire, the alien fell.
The team set breaching charges and prepared to enter.
CAPSLOCK FURY was first to see inside, and he spotted an alien immediately.
He signalled to the soldier on the door to rush in, but as he did so he spotted another alien behind the first. Since both had their backs turned, he took the opportunity to shoot this one, whilst CAPSLOCK FURY shot the one he was already lined up on.

We are certainly being kept busy over these few days. There has been a constant stream of missions, all relatively low risk tactically but all indicating much greater strategic problems to come, especially with the threat still looming of retaliation from the alien forces.

Attachment: Alien Weaponry Dossier, Plasma Rifle.
The plasma rifle is one of the Aliens' main small arms, it's not their most powerful weapon, and needs a lucky shot to injure or kill a soldier through his power armour, but as Higurashi can attest, it's far from impossible that this happen.
The weapon offers no advantages to X-Com personnel over the Heavy Plasma already in use, so these weapons are sold on to government and security forces.
