For those who have never heard of/ played this game before: You run an organization funded by world governments to try to protect the Earth from hostile Aliens all of which have better weapons and equipment than you. The goal is to study their stuff (including them) and reverse engineer it which will hopefully let you have fewer casualties in the field.

I've never played the games but I know some people are fans, so there is likely interest. Plus, well, half the forum will read practically any LP that's tossed at them. -------------------- Live and learn - or die and teach by example.

They just don't always respond.

In any case, if you can rename dudes, obviously you need to name your people after forum members. Easy way to get readers invested is to put them in it. --------------------
