I am so glad this back up.

voluntold

God, the number of times I've used that at work... Along with "go now or forever hold your pee" before things get started.

Good prologue.

Same here.

Fluttershy now has almost a cult following of base personnel, and snakes, and she has like three pet Chryssalids following her around.

Okay. I can just see Fluttershy baby-talking to her cutsey-wootsey chryssalid buggos now. "Who's a good buggo?! You're a good buggo! Yes you are! Chryssi want a belly wub? Yes?! Good buggo!"

Well alright, we're back in business.

Fluttershy now has almost a cult following of base personnel, and snakes, and she has like three pet Chryssalids following her around.

I can see it

Sorry for the wait. Was dying of laughter.

Understandable

Glad to see this story back here, and this was a pretty good idea since it also let's those that have never played XCOM get an idea of what's going on

Wow, quite a rewrite. I'm very interested in seeing how this goes now with the prologue.

Damn fine storyline. Great chapter. Odd Pinkie Pie go for Mechbody Still... Neat!

Equis Changeling should bring 1 Hive to earth. Perfect for interspecies relations and politics!

Absolutely PRICELESS ♡

Nice re-start to the story, good work.

All the trouble the Ethereals caused, got Viper roommates.
Worth it.

This was a beyond epic prologue and it was his a prologue I can't wait to see where this story goes

Pinkie...in a MEC suit...

God help us all.

I swore that we’d die more times than I could count but, call it fate, somebody managed to pull something off to save us by the skin of our teeth each time.

Sounds like someone was save-scumming.

Replaying Chimera Squad... This story came to mind while i played

that game was comically easy compared to Xcom 1 and 2 but it was still a good time

Both Sunset and Applejack had shot up the ranks. Sunset had helped extraterrestrials get situated in new homes, whereas AJ fought for extraterrestrial rights. Fluttershy had thanked X-COM for everything they’d done, then moved on to a nursing job at a hospital, specifically helping those who might be psychically sensitive. Sci-Twi basically dug herself a hole and devoted almost all of her time to the study of Elerium. She had contacts within multiple government space agencies. Pinkie now rarely used her MEC, however she did reverse-engineer certain weaponry into little more than non-lethal light shows. Said shows were put on for various orphanages around the world. Rarity on the other hoof, had fused an old passion with a new passion, inventing clothes that weren’t just stylish, but practical as well. Her latest idea was a dress that could deflect a plasma bolt. Rainbow Dash used her advanced physique to become pretty much the world’s best athlete. And when she wasn’t on the court, she helped teach children the “joys of futbol.”

Football?

It's kinda a waste... But if someone can pull it off than it's 'Miss Impossible become only unlikely and that means it is going to happen'. Perhaps Miss Murphy for short?

To be fair... They are totaly worth the effort!

Indeed, feel more like a prelude to the real game. Than again, 'Police Force' is not a 'Military grade full out for war' organisation. Smaller Scale and smaller budget to get things done...

Replay the game is always fun, I wonder if you work other characters than the mane 6 in it. Than again it always is a pain write so many characters.

Peace through Snek love♡

There comes a song to mind:
When heavens divide

🎶♡♡♡🎶
Petals of white
Cover fields
Flowing in grieving tears
And all the hearts
Once new,
Old and shattered now
Love can kill,
Love will die
Give me wings to fly
Fleeing this world so cold
I just wonder why

Cold as the dark
Now my words,
Are frosted with every breath
Still the heat
Burns wild,
Growing inside this heart
When the wind
Changes course
When the stars align
I will reach out
To you and leave this all behind
When heavens divide

When heavens divide
I will see
The choices within my hands
How can we ever protect
And fight with our tiny souls
Let me shine
Like the sun
Through the doubts and fear
Do you feel the storm
Approach as the end draws near

When heavens divide
Time will come
To softly lay me down
Then I can see a face
That I long to see
And for you,
Only you
I would give anything
Leaving a trace
For love
To find a way
When heavens divide

I will dive into
The fire
Spilling the blood of
My desire
The very last time
My name
Scorched into
The sky

When heavens divide
I will see
The choices within my hands
How can we ever protect
And fight with our tiny souls
Let me shine
Like the sun
Through the doubts and fear
Do you feel the storm
Approach as the end draws near

When heavens divide
Time will come
To softly lay me down
Then I can see a face
That I long to see
And for you,
Only you
I would give anything
Leaving a trace
For love
To find a way
When heavens divide

And for you,
Only you
I would give anything
Leaving a trace
For love
To find a way
When heavens divide
🎶♡♡♡🎶

The entire last viper part of the chapter is perfect to explain the Viper X-Com soldier mod ♡
Snek for the win ♡
