Unknown discovery

The Spectre Overseer took a few steps forwards, and outstretched his hand, his eyes glowing dully as the gem flew across the room and into his hands. He examined it closely, before handing it to one of the Deuscidium for examination

Message to the Equestrians, composed by Spectre Overseer Balbus
"We have discovered something belonging to the forerunners of your civilisation, or so we believe. It has the presence of one of your extra-dimensional entities. The location is attached to this message"

Unknown discovery

The Collective personnel moved forwards towards the gem and the Alicorn, but the Deus cidium whispered something to a Spectre overseer, who quickly scuttled out of the room
"Apply." One of the Spectre Overseers ordered, and one of the Deuscidium continued the inquiry
"Identify gemstone" He ordered, and a third cut in, her voice higher pitched and less demanding
"What is this place?"

Outside

The Spectre overseer activated the comms relay, and began to transmit a few messages out, tapping a few commands on the terminal and bringing up the AI, speaking to it quickly

Unknown Discovery

The units slowly moved towards it and pushed through into the doorway. The Deuscidium proceeded, but their eyes glowed brighter, projecting some form of field around them

As the bird exploded, it's blood splattered over their armour, slowly disappearing into their camouflage along with their armour systems. The stench of it's guts might easily give them away though, considering it smelt like it had been dead for over a week. Once they got back to their transport, they would see something bound quickly away from it, but would not catch a clear sight of it.

Unknown discovery.
The Aru'shumi jumped back atop the hostile as the Overseer's eyes lit up. They fired two hardlight shots into the odd crystal before jumping back off it's head again. The Saeva Simius took out their dark matter grenades, and attempted to toss it past the head of the monster, hoping to catch it's crystalline structure in it's blast radius, only one of the grenades succeeded in it's task, and not before it's tosser had been sliced in half. The Lance soldier dashed forwards, firing to grab it's attention, distracting it so that the Overseer could get a shot in, and it hit the back of the crystal, bringing it down. The two Aru'Shumi launched upon the third, scaling it's arms. One of them was batted off and died on impact, but the other made it to the top and fired several more shots into the crystal. The deuscidium flew forwards slightly, before using their psionics to cause a small explosion, shattering the crystal on the back of the final ones head. Finally, the remaining units had defeated the strange stone beings and looked around the chamber quickly, keeping their weapons at bear out of fears for a second assault.

Unknown Discovery

There was a short beeping noise from the Spectre... before his armour exploded under the foot of the massive hulking creature, showering it's sword in Anti-matter. Meanwhile, the units brought their weaponry to bear. Two Spectre Saeva Simius let out bursts from a Dark Energy Heavy machine gun, a weapon capable of destroying tanks with it's advanced destructive capabilities. The two Spectre Triarian Officers hovered into the air, and then their eyes began to glow bright orange, and the roof of the chamber above one of the stone statues began to give way and fall towards him. Two Aru'Shumi spectre lept into the air, running up the sword of one of the stone statues, until they arrived on his head and slapped an anti-matter charge onto it, before leaping down the other side and onto the floor behind him and dashing off, detonating it. The remaining lance spectre moved to cover, bringing out his Hardlight rifle and letting off a shot towards the chest of the statue that had killed his comrade.
The Deuscidium retreated a few paces, before their eyes began to light up orange and they began to use their powers in an attempt to tear apart the statue that the Saeva Simius were shooting at.

"Omnia unitatum, pervigilem moniters. Sanctificate extract" The robotic voice came, and the Civilis Protectione officers began to take positions, watching the workers. A squad of four Civilis Protectione proceeded to, armed with hardlight pistols as their eyes began to glow. But it wasn't them the GSF should be worried about, for something had detected them, but it wasn't Triarian. Above them came a screech as a strange bird came down from above, diving towards them. It's most notable feature was it's large teeth, and it came down and attempted to grab one of the Griffons, apparently aiming to turn the invisible new comner into a snack.

The Triarian swooned for a few moments as the poison affected her. For a moment it might seem that she was about to resist the poison and stand up, but eventually she fell down, smashing the object before her as it did. Two odd fluids began to flow from the device... and a fluid began to flow from the rock as well. The Triarian began to rise again, only to find herself staring at a strange tentacle which had protruded from a newly opened hole in the rock. She saw it, but was sluggish as she recovered from the poison, and began to stand and turn away but the tongue grabbed at her. The Civilis Protectione officer arrived on scene a few moments later, and his eyes lit up as the the Triarian flew a few meters back from the tentacle. The Civilis Protectione unit took a few steps back, before his eyes intensified once more and several blasts of energy smashed upon the tongue, before finally severing it, the same odd liquid flowing out of it as the stump protruded back inside the rock

Unknown Discovery

The Spectre Squads brought their weapons to bear, and the eyes of the Deuscidium began to glow dully as the units proceeded through the chamber. One of them called outloud "Define." He stated coldly, as his dully glowing eyes scanned the chambers

Contact

The Triarian Overseer tilted it's head "I would be honoured, but your biological form will likely not suit my environment, and vice versa. We would have to meet through a client race or through my use of a PER body"

GSF Spec Op

Being on the border of the City, Civilis Protectione officers and a handful of workers were the only ones in such an area. As such, they were more isolated and easier to find alone. As such, a single worker was easy enough to find. She was knelt next to a rock on the ground, having placed an odd looking device into it. Green and purple lines ran along it, and it was hooked onto a small data pad that was latched to her wrist, displaying an odd hologram and symbols. She tapped a few commands on it as she ran her hands along the device, resulting it a small chamber popping out, containing an odd solution, which she proceeded to place into a vial beside her. A single Civilis Protectione officer was knelt down behind her, tapping her on the shoulder and speaking to her
"Donec eget consequat. autem" He said, and she nodded to him, speaking back
"A pauci minutis" The officer nodded again and stood, turning and walking away, leaving her alone to work on the device amongst the heat

Unknown discovery

The Deuscidium performed the Psionic method on the door, purple energies swirling around the air before disappearing into nothingness and reappearing as if from invisible hands. Eventually, the stone door cracked open, and the Squad of Deuscidium proceeded within, backed by two Spectre Squads

It won't, I've got an easy solution

Colonial Powers NRP (Reboot/New Thread)

Colonial conflicts

The soldiers had already been prepared for this, and their response is quite simple. They were sent as a peace keeping force, and a peacekeeping force they shall be. They have several colonists search for other suitable lands away from the territory of the Lance, while secretly attempting to strike an agreement with the Lance soldiers that allows half and half of the contested lands to be used by either side. Meanwhile, the fighting citizens are ordered to cease their fighting and broken up by a single gunshot fired into the air whenever a conflict arises, though for the time being the soldiers have no orders to actually shoot any colonists, but merely grab their attention and order them to break it up.
A frigate and Barque set sail from the Colony of New Vivia to the nearby cove to assist their ally in the United Vanjanan Empire should conflict erupt again, though they wish for a slightly less explosive solution

The Mighty Hammer

Grand Admiral Thorn himself takes his ship of the line and five of the newly repaired galleys to await the mighty hammer. They are ready to intercept and hopefully determine whether it is hostile or not

XCOM Roleplay - An Open Discussion on How It Should Work

I disagree, they soak up enough damage, and once you've upgraded the kinetic strike, 18 damage 0.0

I think the best squad: Squadsight sniper with plasma and double tap, along with mec trooper, a hover shiv (great for spotting, and once it's in the air it gets a fair defensive bonus). Heavy (blaster launcher = >:D 13 Crit damage wooo!) a support and an assualt, preferably ALL psionic (Mind Controlling an enemy unit who is flanking an enemy group will cause the enemy to prioritise him, useful waste of their turn if you succeed. One with telekinetic field is useful, 40% off all their hit chances >:D). There you go, a spotter for the sniper, damage dealer of doom, a doomsday sniper and a team of badasses. What could go wrong?

Oh shit, an xcom bullshit moment! Retreat, retreat
