(This is an attempt at a narrative.)
XCOM has suffered a major setback.

Base defense. The base was being attacked, and the only defenders were a panicky bunch of morons. A rookie managed to blow herself up with the Auto Cannon.

Susanna was the first one to ever use a Blaster Launcher.

Magdalena: "BLASTER LAUNCHER HEADED RIGHT FOR ME---"

Magdalena: "Susanna, why are you screwing around with the Blaster Launcher and aiming it for yourself? You going to make it spin around and blow them up or....?"
Susanna: "THAT IS NOT MY BLASTER---"

Jorge: "BETTER TO DIE THAN TO BE KILLED BY ALIENS!"      (Gunshots can be heard, along with further shouting. It is presumed that Jorge committed suicide.)
Soldier 2: "WHY ARE WE EVEN PLAYING ON SUPERHUMAN DIFFICUL---"      (It is at this point that Soldier 2 passed out from injuries.)

Sata: "CHRYSSALIDS!"
(Laser fire and a chryssalid death cry can be heard.)

Jarate Master 96: "Watch out for that thing! Its going to return fire!"
(The Snakeman returns fire and hits ZhangTehSniper. I wasn't able to screenshot that. ZhangTehSniper was carrying a zero primed high explosive which exploded on the next turn.)

Well, there is only one thing to say to Death's face: not today. I guess Death must have had trouble hearing your guys down there...

Seems to me wherever your crew is, mayham swiftly follows... ;)
