It has been some time since we assaulted a UFO. We'll see if the aliens have any new surprises for us.

Unfortuantely, our agents did not start out near a visible UFO entrance, so all squads were forced to run in search of one. Squad 2 reaches the front first, allowing Dave to easilty pick off an unshielded Skeletoid launching brainsucker pods.
They quickly run into a Skeletoid and a whole mess of poppers. Marcus tries to hit the poppers with frag grenades, but the poppers don't charge directly at his squad like he expects. With three squads firing, however, that group of aliens is quickly wiped out.
Scott spots and mind controls an Anthropod, forcing it to drop its gun and toss its shield.
Squad 6 continues to press in on the UFO. Unfortunately, a lucky boomeroid thrown at John causes a chain reaction with other dropped explosives, destroying most of the equipment at the UFO entrance. The remaining aliens in the UFO are spitters and panicking Anthropods, neither of which are a threat to our agents.
I had hoped to charge the entrance with a toxigun-heavy, psi-heavy squad, without using explosives, in order to capture more equipment to sell, but that boomeroid ruined my plans.
