XCOM2 Let's Play SITREP: Five missions complete

---

We never asked for this. It's been five long weeks since our campaign began, we've lost friends, brothers and sisters in arms, but we have to keep going.

The alien threat posed by ADVENT is still at large (and, frankly, seems almost ironic since we're about to go into December) and though our soldiers' strength is growing, so too is the enemy.

We have learned that the enemy is attempting to create a technology known as Avatar, not a 3D genre-defining movie but a terrifying new threat for our forces to overcome.

We already have a number of different experts in different fields, from PlasmaWing wielding his mighty sword to MetalRodent's tactical deployment of his GREMLIN drone, but I fear it may not be enough.

Our fifth mission has now been successfully completed, please play close attention to the after-action report below:

On the brink of our next mission, Operation Storm Dragon, we find ourselves at an important decision. Should we focus on training up our current forces, or diversify and initiate new troops. We already have some soldiers such as Chris "Crisco" Brand and Rob "Bob" Holt waiting for their first mission, while others like Max "Makka" Taylor are itching to get back in the field.

We are even experimenting with ways to bring our fallen comrades back into the fold, so there is hope for the continued careers of Dan "NinjaDan" Fronteras and Liam "Dutch" Andrews.

For those of you unfamiliar with the hard work of these brave souls, familiarise yourself with the five after-action combat reports below. Study them closely, as who knows when you may be asked to join the team in the field. If you have questions about the team's performance then leave them below.

Gentlemen, ladies - Semper Fi, and expect the next mission next Friday.
