Well, Commander… Strike-One is investigating an anomalous event in South Africa, there’s a conspiracy nut who thinks we’re allied with EXALT and the aliens, and an older gentleman seems to have demolished an EXALT facility in Chicago with a gasoline tanker that had an IED rigged to its airbags.

Intelligence indicates that this latter individual is known by at least two aliases: “Old Man Henderson” and “Eli Burning”.

…getting a report from Strike-One, sir. The Hover SHIV they were using as a forward recon element has just been destroyed by sustained conventional-weapons fire from the structure that seems to be the epicentre of the South Africa anomaly.

I understand. At least he's gone. We can't have his type of person here.

Good to hear that things have been quiet besides the one incident. You do know that you are the first and last line of security XCOM has besides any off-duty Strike Teams.

Nobody expects to see the Commander anywhere outside the Situation Room.

Mostly because of the twenty tons of paperwork I have to do every day. It’s boggling how, for an association so under-the-radar, paperwork is still second-nature.
