Quote:Pincers jammed through the blast door, slowly prying open a hole. The same story repeated itself at two other places along the door. Vita could barely see anything back there but flame. She could feel the heat from here.(EDIT: For some reason the link was going back to this page; I fixed it.)
Hallaoun dropped his hand. "Resume fire!"
They were not rewarded for the effort, as shooter bolts and X-Com's explosive projectiles roared in at, and sometimes through, the gaps.
If the shooters slipped up for a second, they were dead in droves, and everyone here knew it.
The X-Commers presumably knew the song, because a few carried up the chant on the next line. "Sound the horn and call the cry, how many of them can we make die?"
It was around there, as Vita was swinging a set of four Schwalbe Fliegen through the holes the chryssalids were trying to tear - the iron balls melted as they entered the room - that Vita decided she liked this planet.
And not just because it was the place where Hayate hung her (truly impressive) hat.
