Martha Azikiwe's Diary, 18th March 2015

It's been three hellish weeks.

However, I feel like I cannot rest. I can only do that for a few hours before I wake up, ready to kill some buggers even if there is no alert about a landing happening.

I want to get revenge for what they did to my sister. I swore to Mother that I would make them pay in blood, and I won't break that promise.

Ever since I became a Corporal, it is getting nicer. I've been to four missions and killed three buggers in the last three weeks. I've even been assigned the role of Mission Commander twice. Have to be careful then to not let my feelings overwhelm me: the buggers could trap us, and then kill us, if I am not careful.

Either way, it is fun. Seeing those buggers die feels like a small step in taking revenge for their abducting Amy. I don't know what they did to her, but I hope she died painlessly.

I just hope they don't ask me to capture them: I want to kill them all, kill them all.

Karl Bauer's Diary, 18th March, 2015

Dear diary,

Mood: Apathetic. I had oatmeal for breakfast this morning. It was... disappointing.

I had my first mission yesterday. It was in London. I hate London. Too rainy. It was under Corporal Azikiwe. I shot an alien. It was satisfying. God I hate aliens. They are worse than oatmeal.

I feel that I have discovered an aptitude for heavy weaponry. Good. The boom a rocket makes is far more satisfying to me.

I have to go eat dinner. It will most likely be meatloaf. I hate meatloaf.

Much lulz were had with Karl's first diary entry.

Entry 2 - No Action in London

Dear Man-Journal,
OK, maybe the title of this entry is misleading, I did get an awesome new sniper rifle and then killed an alien with it. But that's besides the point. First of all, while I was wounded, apparently they replaced my position as the squad leader with someone named Martha Azikiwe. Although I am now her same rank, she is still listed as "Squad Leader". But, that's just the first of my problems... Did you know that British women aren't hot? Sure, some of them were OK, but American and Japanese women are so much better. Someday I'll sleep with someone on shore leave... Someday...

Apparently, this is less than 5 characters.

Operation Name: Operation Final Paramour
Time and Date: 6:48 AM, March 20, 2015
Location: Kolkata, India
Commanding Officer: Cpl. Moreepic Thanyou (WIA, 8 Days Recovery; Promoted to Sergeant)
Squad Members Status
Sq. Karl Bauer (Promoted to Corporal)
Sq. Lord Iggy (Promoted to Corporal)
Sq. Cornelius Leonsmerle (Promoted to Corporal)
Objectives
Secure the escort of the engineer to the Skyranger so that he may deliver his report upon alien attacks on water supplies.

Mission Report

Location is the end of the pier where the engineer, Patrick Carlock, was cornered, team deployed to escort across pier to the waiting Skyranger. Thanyou and Leonsmerle provided cover outside of the pier buildings, scouting ahead, while Iggy and Bauer covered subject Carlock in the interior of the first building. Thanyou detected first ET, this one appears to be mostly human, and has been termed by the troops as the Thin Man. The Thin Man poisoned Cpl. Thanyou through unknown means, but was eliminated by the Cpl.'s return fire. While escorting subject Carlock, Bauer identified and eliminated a Sectoid near his position. Scouting ahead, Leonsmerle identified another Sectoid further up the pier. Bauer outflanked and eliminated the Sectoid. Another Sectoid emerged from a building ahead, while a second Thin Man dropped down from unknown perch onto the top of a storage container, threatening to ambush the squad. A vicious firefight was engaged, in which Bauer eliminated the Thin Man and Iggy eliminated the Sectoid. While moving through the closest pier building to our LZ, another Thin Man attempted an ambush, and Iggy neutralized it with rifle fire. With the elimination of this hostile, we made a dash to the LZ, and Carlock and all team members were safely extracted.

Journal of Sarah Isra, Entry One:

This pain is nothing. It doesn't matter - I'm finally making a difference! I can finally stand up and say that I've done something in this war to benefit humanity. Mom and Dad would be so proud of me.

Took some plasma in the arm on that OP in Louisiana. Never thought an X-ray could get the jump on me that easily, but combat's fast and fluid.

More ops been going on while I recover. Feeling a tad useless, except for the way some of the guys keep hitting on me. What am I, moral support? I do think about a few of them a lot. Usually while I'm practicing my aim in the firing range.

Got to go now. Another briefing run on some mission. I don't know if I'm going to be called up for it or not, but if I am and I die, there's an entry at the back of this journal. Feel free to read it if I'm dead. But if I'm not and you read it, YOU soon will be.

Signing off,
-Sarah Isra

Diary of Karl Bauer, March 21st, 2015

Dear Diary,

Mood: Disappointed.

I killed something new today. Cpl. Iggy calls it a 'Thinman.' I don't like that name. It isn't nearly ironic enough. They don't explode nearly as nicely as Sectoids. I am disappointed.

Cpl. Thanyou wanted us to rescue an engineer. I didn't like the engineer. He thinks he is interesting. But he isn't.

I am now a corporal. This entitles me to a new uniform. I saw the uniform this morning. It looks the same as the old one. Cpl. Thanyou almost died on the mission yesterday. If only.

Had eggs and toast for dinner today, because I was feeling whimsical.

Anyone alive in here, or did the Chrissalids getcha?
