Walking a little slowly, Catalina taps out an email as she walks along.
FROM: cat.leaveyourhaton
TO: MICHAEL GARRET
CC: CHIEF HALLORAND; MEMBERS, ALPHA TEAM
RE: Short Abscence
You will no doubt have already received the communication from my superiors. What is probably best called the 'French Resistance' for now, has been in touch with agents of my government. Strange how we fall into old patterns, but then a chance to communicate with the group should not be lost.
As, quite obviously, the person in the British government with the greatest experience of dealing with the aliens, it makes sense for myself to be at this initial meeting. Afterwards, I am sure some channel of communication can be established that reduces, if not negates, the need for much face to face contact.
I will be leaving this evening, but hope to return withing a few days. In the interim please excuse my abscence, I'm sure you can see the importance of the cause.
Catalina
P.S. Try not to die while I am away?

OOC: For now, it seems.
Will we get a chance to speak with the imprisoned Doctor? Could be the deal-breaker, to know under what conditions he's willing to help.
In any case: Vasily, Craft Mech +7, helping build the reactor.

Looks like we'll handle the Okwelume thing in-game. Due to the frequent NWC outages, we haven't really had time to develop things in the forums, so we'll spread one week of game time over two sessions this week.

At the moment we have two sign-ups. If we don't have four by the time I get back from work this evening (a few hours before game time), I'll postpone tonight's session. Sorry for the late notice but with the forum troubles of late I'll give dira and chiz the benefit of the doubt.
Also, I'll post a thread seeking a new player in the Player Connections forum tonight or tomorrow.

Okay, with only 3 signed up and a little less than 2 hours to go until game time, I'm going to bump the game until next week. Even four would have been pushing it a little for anything but an all-RP session (and I had a mission lined up and ready to go).
Those already signed up will be kept on the list.
I'll also post the advert for a new player.

TBM, good luck. Sounds like a tough situation - hopefully you can rebuild even better than before.
LB, just to let you know, I may miss a game or two in August due to family vacation. Should be here next week, and I will give as much advance notice as possible. Right now looking like vacation will be later in the month.

chiz, don't forget to sign-up for the game for next Monday 
click on NWC HOME, Left Column, look for NWC Game Invitations, then your X-COM invite, Accept, should be pretty self-explanatary, if you haven't done it a zillion times.
Hope you can make it.
Have a wonderful vacation this summer.
You probably had a hectic week, so get some rest.

I think Vanya Mia is also taking a two week vacation in late August.
Let me know dates whenever they become known. If necessary we'll put the game on hiatus for a few weeks, or maybe run a one-shot or two in our usual slot.

scorecard
so from what I gathered, this seems to be the current plan:
The laser defense researach (in whatever time) and the Elerium-115 based reactor from research to finished product (in one week)...
Research Priorities (20 points total)
Completed Research:- Laser research completed: Laser Weapons, Laser Pistols, Laser Rifles
- Laser Cannons completed – All future interceptors will be equipped with this weapon.
- Motion Scanner: Research completed
- Heavy Weapon Platform: Research completed – Laser Tanks may be constructed.
- Alien Power Supply: Research completed (Anti-matter w/ Elerium-115)
- Alien Navigation: Research completed (plus alien power coupling device)
- Alien Alloys: Research completed; Personal Armor Available
- Alien Medicine: Research completed; The new Medical Lab will produce eight medikits per week. Dr. White reports that when the lab is involved in research projects, such as alien autopsies, the rate of production will slow. Further upgrades may come from research into alien life forms.
- Prisoners researched: Sectoid, Sectoid Leader
- Autopsies completed: Sectoid, Snakeman, Floater
Current Projects:- Elerium-115 Reactor (10 Research, 30 Manufacturing) (+20% Research, +20% Manufacturing, +50% Base Defense)
- Lasers Defense (10 Research) (+100% Base Defense)
- (freebie) Project FIRESTORM (Advanced new Interceptor) is underway
Available Projects:- Plasma Pistol – Alien weapon, we have several in storage
- Plasma Rifle – More powerful Alien weapon
- Small Launcher (Stunner) – Alien stunner
- Vibroblade – Alien melee weapon
- Alien BioGrenade (Elerium-115) – alien biochemical grenade based on Electrum-115
- Powered Armor – Elerium-115 powered armor (medium armor)
Prisoners held in Alien Containment:- Sectoid Engineer
- Snakemen Soldiers: Research, then transfer to a central holding facility off-site.
- Floater Soldier
- Floater Navigator: Alien intelligence
Manufacturing Priorities (30 points total)- Note: Future base expansion will run into problems due to base size limitations.
- Elerium-115 Reactor (10 Research, 30 Manufacturing) (+20% Research, +20% Manufacturing, +50% Base Defense)
- Manufacturing Labs: 3
- Research Labs: 2
- Medical Labs: 1; the Medical Lab is fully operational.
- Defense: Missiles
- Laser Pistols:7, (Dr. Yeren’s pistol has the integrated VDU (+1 attack) that can also be made at +3 engineers per week)
- Laser Rifles: 1
- Motion Scanners: 2
- Heavy Weapons Platforms: Prototype (damaged); Laser Tanks: 1
- Personal Armor: 6; Helmets have been upgraded to resist mental attacks; (Catalina’s armor is treated to be a (+2) stealth suit that ca also be made at +4 engineers per week)
- Medikit: Doctor White's medical lab can construct eight of these kits each week without compromising our manufacturing capacity. If you wish to dedicate additional resources to the project, the kits can be produced at a faster rate.

Good summary. I'm at a remote site this week so I can't whip up as many updates, but I'll try to get something together a bit later in the week.

Thanks for the invite, and hi everyone else! I've played with Smart_Alec and Gulfwulf a few times before, though ... I have absolutely no idea what to expect from them this time around. Which is a good thing.
Anyway, I'll be playing Sgt. Maj. Soheil Amiri, an assault team leader from the SAS. She's well-disciplined and a team player. She has toured in the Middle East and was serving with the domestic counter-terrorism unit until being assigned to X-COM. Fun times will ensue. Or murderous mayhem. Whichever comes first.

That's awful, TBM. Hang in there. I'll miss you too.
