Mission Intro, Brief & Objectives
Portent (EU2012).png

The Council has been monitoring unusual reports about a hijack attempt on an unauthorized French military convoy. Although the alleged perpetrators were human, our intel indicates the aliens may also have been in the area. If true, this raises a number of questions about the cargo being moved. We'll need a squad to investigate; Central should have our complete report momentarily.

A French military convoy was caught in an ambush. The convoy's current status is unknown. Be prepared for anything.

  • Investigate the area of operations
  • Locate and secure any survivors as well as the convoy's cargo
  • Eliminate any remaining opposition

Notes

  • Council Reward:
    • §150
    • 1 Scientist
    • 1 Engineer

Tactics

  • Essentially a "Locate/Rescue the VIP" Extraction mission:
    • Only Thin Men appear as seeded, and airdropped enemies.
    • The VIP will be an unarmed, non-hostile, and (surprisingly) cooperative EXALT survivor. He'll verbally taunt you the whole trip back, though.
  • After the VIP is rescued, enemies will drop in static locations and only as the VIP moves closer to excavation zone. Keep VIP back without moving forward, if you need a breather between reinforcements.
  • If the VIP isn't successfully rescued you won't gain any bonus or research opportunities and you'll never hear about the VIP again.
