Walking After Midnight (Entry 2)

[thehonorablebat]

Summary: Walking After Midnight is the first XCOM story I ever posted. I've edited it a little since I first put it up, but I mostly consider it 'non-canon'. At best, it's Weir lying in his journal.

My first op since waking up went smoothly.

I suppose.

If you don’t count Rookie Winters [addendum: Winters, Jay R.] panicking and nearly putting a few rounds into Squaddie Kelly’s back. Thankfully, he missed. Though, the ordeal has left him shaken. The Rookie has made himself scarce since he made it back to the ship. A quick glance at the surveillance cameras shows him hiding near the armory. I think for now it would be best if he remains out of active combat duty for the next few missions. Just until he can sort himself out.

Situations like this are why I prefer to personally evaluate my soldiers before sending them out into the field. My rotten luck was the only reason that didn’t happen. As Central was showing me how the new hologlobe worked we were hit with a prime opportunity to disrupt ADVENT operations. It was just too good to pass up just because I hadn’t met the crew yet.

At least everyone made it back in one piece.
