I just finished a strange illogical mission. The office of the league representatives.

The mission is espionage, without weapons and armor. All enemies are armed with firearms. I killed everyone, got a +400 rating. For the fact that there were corpses, I received a -1000 rating. Did the corpses have to be dismembered right in the middle of the mission? Something is wrong here.

No, you were supposed to arrest them! You are the police, for God's sake! XD

If we are the police, why are we not allowed to have SWAT level gear? These guys see us (in what is considered "infiltration gear") and start shooting at us. This implies that they would also start shooting at regular police.

A low-tech melee weapon could be excused, but the League on the League Node mission includes a bunch of guys with pistols (with a low chance of SMG and a very low chance of just Crowbar), and one guy with a hight chance of assault rifle and small chance of small shotgun.

Note that this also implies that the council would rather have us dead and the secrets revealed, than some crazies killed. Crazies that start shooting when they see a group of people in suits. Such as a bunch of wedding attendies.

XCF in a nutshell. :P

Although if I'm the police, I want arrest powers over extraterrestrials. Illegal alien scum, come along quietly or there will be police UN black helmet brutality!
