HoC X-Com Enemy Unknown – on the Twelve day


By Blackwalt - Posted on 11 August 2013

The HoC X-Com team experiences true tragedy

We have lost seven team members before this. Six people and one robot. None of them hit as hard as this one.

Yesterday we lost Corporal Anime Shimmer a new team sniper who we had hoped would eventually replace Colonel Blade. Alas that is not to be as Cpl. Shimmer failed to return from her fourth mission.

Lying about her age to get onto the X-Com team Cpl Shimmer quickly proved herself to be a sniper in the same mold as Colonel Blade. She missed more shots than she made. She still managed to become a team favourite and earned 4 alien kills in 4 missions.

She was killed when the team stumbled upon a Muton Elite and was unable to put it down before it got a shot off. On single shot that forever changed the make up of the team.

The Muton Elite was immediately destroyed by Colonel Dark 'Double Down' Nightowl who finished it off with a single shot of his new Alloy Cannon. Too late to save Cpl. Shimmer and not much consolation but something for Colonel Nightowl to hang onto through the team's grief.

Corporal Anime Shimmer, a shining light who was extinguished far too early.
