A star-faring religious cult has created an army of robotic zealots designed to follow holy scripture. As the robotic menace spreads across the galaxy, it takes prisoners to be 'excommunicated': hooked into a neural simulation of eternal torment. Captain Rolland Barron leads the Sol Federation Starship Excalibur on a diplomatic mission. Cassia LaCroix is a wormhole hunter, earning a living scouring the galaxy for valuable tunnels through space-time. Prince Zoojin, a psychic alien from a distant galaxy, must prove himself worthy of the throne of Paxis Prime. The paths of these characters converge as they pursue their own motives, leading them towards the mechanical legion that is sweeping across the galaxy.

Set a year after the events of Resist. I am the Commander of XCOM, the protectors of Earth. In 2015, we failed to prevent the alien invaders from taking over. For 20 years they have lied to the people while XCOM lay dormant, gathering intel. Central Officer John Bradford rescued me and together we took our home back from the invaders. Now he is missing. It didn't take us long to realise that the forces on Earth was merely a taste of what the invaders were capable of. There is a greater force out there and we have very little time. For now, XCOM's resources are focused on uniting the world in a future fight and disposing of the invader's forces who still reside. AN: I do not own the XCOM franchise nor do I claim to

Aliens have landed. Their motives and objectives are unknown. Against them stand the men and women of XCOM: humanity's first, last, and best line of defense. They are elite. They have the best of the world's science behind them. And they will not be enough. This story is based on the game XCOM: Enemy Unknown. The characters and events, including their survival, will be based on what the Random Number God gives me and what I can make of it, both in game terms and writing. And, of course, any comments you have, be they about writing style and technique or gameplay, go ahead and fire away. Legal: This story was inspired and written based on the game XCOM by Firaxis; The IP is the property of it's owner, who is not me; I do not claim either. I, the author, claim only story elements that I invented.
