Night Five
“
Central, we were able to set up the Hyperwave Relay Facility from the recently discovered Hyperwave Beacon,” said an engineer on the loudspeaker. “Alien communications rely on a supra-dimensional wave which travels almost instantaneously, so this relay should allow us to trace the source of these communications. I think we need a volunteer that is psionically gifted to use it, I am picking up nothing myself.”
“Roger that,”
Central replied. I'll meet you down there with a Gifted soldier.”
Central and the Volunteer gathered at the Hyperwave Relay Facility. An engineer guided the Volunteer in front of the Hyperwave Beacon and forwarded the instructions to her, “You'll need to link up to it, just place your hands on it. Hopefully you'll be able to become... connected with the minds of the aliens in some way. It should reveal information on their whereabouts, for at least some of them.”
She nodded in response, and without hesitation placed her hands upon the device and closed her eyes. Moments later she gasped, “Oh my...”
“What is it?” asked
Central, looking concerned. “Is everything okay?”
“I'm fine, but what I can see may not be,” she paused briefly, as if she were double checking everything she saw. “I've discovered the location of an Overseer UFO, and...
LittleBeary's on board. I don't think she's been abducted.”
“No, we would be alerted if she had been,”
Central sighed. “Our Raven's won't be able to shoot down a thing of that size. Any ideas?”
“We've recently been able to complete a new aircraft,
Dr. Shen named it the Firestorm shortly before he passed away. It's equipped with EMP cannons that can 'shut down' a UFO without having to blow it up. We can send one up there, and we'll easily be able to identify
LittleBeary's corpse,” the engineer chimed in, clearly proud of his work.
“Send it up there immediately,”
Central ordered. “Good riddance,
LittleBeary.”
The Firestorm soared up into the clouds picking up the Overseer UFO on its radar, acrobatically dodging any missiles shot at it. It swiftly locked it's EMP cannons onto the UFO, firing electromagnetic waves at it. The Overseer UFO systems were disabled, sending LittleBeary and the rest of her crew crashing down.
LittleBeary (Uber Ethereal) crash landed.
XCOM gained one meld.
