Emergence call center (Beirut or Jerusalem): For being bombed by Israel, Syria, USA, Russia, Turkey or any other bomb related issues, please clear the line for real emergencies. For real emergencies press 1!
...: (Click.) Presses 1.
Emergence call center: Hello, how may I help you?
...: Hello, uhm, there is some red sceletal animal that looks at my cows funny.
Emergence call center: *Sigh* Does it look alien?
...: If I say YES, will you send somebody? It started salivating!
Emergence call center: Sure! Do you say yes?
...: YESSSSS! AHHHHH!
Emergence call center: Wait a moment while I connect you to some super secret agency you and I never heard about, but we have their number for any random wacko that sees an alien.
<Elavator music.>
...: Hello there? Hmmm? It just ate the cat! Oh, wait, it just returned it! I shouldn't try pesticides on cats anymore.
<some more elavator music.>
X-COM Call Center: Hello there citizen, this is X-COMmmmm, Alien Watch Team, yeah, I definately didn't say X-COM in public didn't I?
...: Yes, there is a large red thing that is salivating near my cows. It just raized a sign - "Send X-COM agents pliyz! We want agent-meatz".
X-COM Call Center: How large it is?
...: About a German Shepard!
X-COM Call Center: Pfffff, do you call that large? It sounds like one of these extra small alien creatures. We will send the helicopter immediately.

A strange creature hunt between Beirut and Jerusalem.

Can we hire cows in next version? With Kowvlar Vests and Armored Cow gear, too?

This one took like 3-4 Chupacabra hits to go down. Nice meatshield.

Last one. Like shooting fish. In a barrel.
Except that the fish can get out of the barrel and chomp your head off.

Outcome.

Only 2 Cow Corpses, but there are 3 civilians killed. Either the third one was Clint Eastwood, or the Chupacabras swallowed the third cow in one go.

Another risky undercover mission. This is the only one I can't smuggle a gun yet.

Another Strange Creature. It is barely in Helicopter range. I should send the Humvee as a backup in case we come at night.

A look at our finances.

Russia is first at 180000+, I guess the 1990s crisis haven't kicked them yet. Or may be super secret UFO stuff has priority over hospitals and pensions as it should be.
Followed by France at 152000 and Turkey? at 151000.
Poland is 4th at 127000 and the USA is barely coughing up more than China at 123000 and 122000 disrespectfully.

Turn 1 seems pretty nice.
