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.
