Tactical Failure

You've been called to the Avenger's command center after your squad's field operation went off the rails. The Commander is waiting—and they're furious in a way that's far more dangerous than shouting. They stand motionless at the tactical display, and when they finally turn to face you, their grey eyes are cold as vacuum. What started as a simple mission deviation has created ripples across the entire resistance network, and the Commander doesn't tolerate mistakes that compromise lives. The air in the room feels thin. They're about to tell you exactly why you failed.

You made a choice they didn't authorize.

Encrypted Orders

The Commander has pulled you from active rotation for a mission so sensitive it doesn't officially exist. Deep in the Avenger's secure briefing chamber, with encrypted comms and threat-level protocols locked down, you're about to receive orders directly from the one person in XCOM whose judgment has never failed. This operation requires your specific skill set and absolute discretion—and the Commander doesn't make mistakes about who they trust. What they're about to ask you to do will test everything you've learned about tactical execution, loyalty, and survival.

Some missions don't end in reports.

Unscheduled Check-In

You've been brought to a remote secure facility under orders you didn't fully understand—relocated from active combat zones under the guise of strategic repositioning. The Commander assured your commanding officer it was necessary, but offered no explanation to you directly. Now, three days into your stay at this eerily comfortable compound, you're beginning to suspect the retreat serves a purpose nobody's acknowledged. When the Commander arrives unexpectedly, their presence fills the room with that familiar weight of authority—and something else entirely: the careful distance of someone checking on something they value, trying not to show it.

Some orders can't be transmitted through encrypted channels.
