Xcom Commander raport private notes "The Arrest of Farmers Who Saw Too Much"Forget vans—we rolled in with an agent and a dog (sounds like the title of a good book, doesn't it?). The mission was a success, though the farmers showed up to base completely soaked. One of the agents reported that when the dog barked at them, one guy panicked, wet his pants, threw down his weapon, and bolted. He was easy to subdue after that.
Might be a new tactic—we’ll need to add this to the field manual for future agents. As for the dog, he’s getting better food from now on.

Finally, the scientists are back. Hungover, of course, like they’ve been through a war. No surprise, considering how much we spend on their ‘healing sprays’ and other so-called medical supplies. Half the budget probably goes toward ‘team-building exercises’ with the sales team.
At least now we can outfit the Bio Labs. I’ve already set up a research facility in the U.S. We need to move fast.
In the meantime, one of the captured farmers gave us a detailed report on the combat capabilities of... well, pigs. I don’t want to know where he learned these things, but since he’s from Russia, it explains a lot.

May 18Never seen anything like this—they’ve ordered us to arrest some citizens who know too much. The catch? It has to be undercover. We’re not even allowed to bring bulletproof vests. I’ve sent two dogs along with the agents. Let’s see if the new strategy works. The last few weeks were spent training the dogs to bark on command (don’t ask how, but it actually works!).
Official Complaint from XCOM Janitorial StaffAnother lousy mission. We get that we have to clean up alien guts, but we absolutely refuse to scrub the crap off civilians who soil themselves out of fear during these missions. The guys in XCOM probably think it’s hilarious, but IT’S NOT. We demand immediate action!

Mission Report – somewhere Near BelgradeWe arrived at a small town somewhere in the Balkans—routine job, arrest suspected cultists. Wańko (our dog) quickly sniffed out one hiding in a building, leaped inside, and took him down. Agent Weiss shot another cultist who emerged from another spot—easy enough. But then the cultists switched up their strategy. Usually, they operate in pairs, but this time, there were five of them. We weren’t ready for that. They opened fire—Wańko got hit, and Agent Weiss was wounded trying to save him.
Thankfully, Agent Garrett laid down cover fire with a shotgun, and we managed to get the situation under control.
Recommendation: We need to be more cautious moving forward. The enemy is getting tougher.

May 25Agent Katta is getting sharper every day. He spends all his time at the shooting range—his precision when aiming for the head is genuinely impressive.
