"I am for them - Gates in this world" I copy-pasted this one. It is supposed to be a direct citation. I changed the and to be "and others." Also changed the last sentence.

Name: Grandmother Donka
Status: Blind mystic, clairvoyant and herbalist
Affiliation: Red Dawn
Details: Baba (grandmother) Donka had foretold the breakup of the Soviet block, the Chernobyl disaster, Stalin's death and others. She was frequently visited by Soviet and other Eastern European leaders including Brezhnev and Yeltsin. She claimed to contact the dead: “I am for them – GATES IN THIS WORLD”. Her recent death is suspicious.
Status: Unknown

@Solaris The real Baba Vanga claimed that she contacted the aliens and that they will show up in 2130, so yeah, she would easily fit in the mood. I have ideas for several others like that and one about an event. On a side note a Soothsayer/Prophet/Mystic would fit as a staff member of X-Com.

The Scooby Doo and Tatoo are jokes truly, I would think about making them staff inputs.

The Scooby Doo gave me an idea for a mission.

Mission: Cleanup of Mission Site
Description: The Salvage team is on vacation and we must clean up this place by ourselves. Stay away from civilian investigators, they will not recognize the agents at longer range (more than 9 tiles), and gather %NUMBER%l all artifacts to the extraction zone and leave. The civilians are not to be harmed at all costs.

The level has a few scattered alien artifacts. The opposition is shortsighted (9 tiles vision) civilians with Tasers and completely immune to all kinds of damage. X-Com's job is to gather the artifacts and leave. The artifact points should outweigh the negative points from mission failed. You start with no weapons, only medkits and flares. All MIA agents are arrested and later taken by the MiBs which explains why they cannot be recovered.

This is inspired by Baba Vanga. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Vanga
She (the real one) died in 1996 so the kidnapping above.

Name: Tatoo
Role: Russian lesbian pop duo
Affiliation: Church of Dagon
Details: This Duo's latest single "Nas nie DAGONyat" was a great hit with the Rookies. Well, until they went on a concert and noticed the hooded figure at the backstage. The whole affair turned into an ill-concealed Chucrh of Dagon recruitment drive.
Status: Interpol Notified

Name: Mystery Team
Role: Amateur mystery solvers
Affiliation: Concerned citizens
Details: This group frequently show up on mission sites hours after X-Com has cleared the area. They are frequently the target of the Salvage team's cruel practical jokes. The group's dog shows rudimentary intelligence and was once brought to base with its handler (by mistake) for study. No signs of intelligence were found in either.

Can you make an On\Off switch for the flashlight?

Well, apart from putting it in your pocket of course.  :)

Right now extra flashlights illuminate the starting position which is usually undesirable.

Great mod.

I found a Spikedboar trapped in a corner in a very weird labyrinthine farm map.

It doesn't look like a normal settlement to me.
