After "The Week Of Hell" comes a temporary respite - a whole day - in which a lot happens. Toxiguns are successfully researched and put into production, to be loaded with Toxin-B as that becomes available. The first alert of the week comes in the form of the first appearance by alien Destroyers - an essential UFO to research, and X-COM send out their finest in a do-or-die raid as two of these important alien vessels are shot down...

En route to target...	Squad 2 moves in...
The opposition...	...and our response!
Clearing up Brainsucker Pods	Here come the Skeletoids!

X-COM were to be made to pay for this, however, as the next UFO incursion had a critical target - STATION #1! The base was successfully defended, with much Toxin-B expended, and plenty of alien equipment was recovered, but this event marked a major change in alien tactics as their attention moved south. Things looked to be getting nasty...

UFOs are now carrying Disruption Shields, and the aliens now have access to Entropy Launchers and stealth devices. X-COM will be sure to catch up before long...

Greatest Victory : Recovering the Destroyer, thus ensuring continuity of research.

Score At End Of Week : 15364
