March 1, 1999: My first task as acting director was to build a new base in a region that sorely needed protection, Asia. Construction has begun on a new base in Turkey, who offered very cheap rates on labor and materiel.
March 7, 1999: A large UFO was detected over the mid-west and an Interceptor was dispatched, but the UFO outran the pilot over the pacific. Research has begun on heavy plasma.
March 15, 1999: We understand now how the heavy plasma gun operates, but the methods of storing the ammunition are still beyond us. Research is beginning to rectify this issue.
March 21, 1999: The heavy plasma gun is fully ready for use in the field, and the soldiers are being briefed on its use. The scientists' director, Lionel, plans to develop stronger armor and to further explore the possibilities of laser weapons.
March 27, 1999: Lionel's team has developed powered armor, a much-needed improvement over our previous armor which was mediocre at best and could barely hope to stop a plasma bolt.
March 30, 1999: Baghdad is under attack! Mr. Hussein called minutes ago to inform us and the base is a hive of activity. I can hear the skyranger's turbines warming up, they must be leaving shortly.
Baghdad, 11:06: In their haste, the rookies Barbara and Austin forgot their rifles on base. Luckily they still have their C4 charges, so they aren't entirely useless. The team takes losses to friendly fire, but comes out victorious in the end.
April 1, 1999: Small UFO over Texas, shot down over Mexico. Mission completed successfully with acceptable losses.
April 4, 1999: Finished interrogating sectoid engineer, has provided info on their large scout ship. Team has been assigned to discovering how the UFOs navigate.
April 7, 1999: Lionel has discovered the heavy laser gun, is now working on developing a craft-sized version of the weapon.
April 9, 1999: Large UFO appears in the midwest, loses pursuing interceptor over the Pacific.
April 10+: An explosion in the lab destroyed a large amount of equipment, including these logs. Events have been recreated as well as possible from memory.
Research: Lionel's teams developed a set of light personal armor, a heavy powered armor, and a flying version of the power armor. The flying suit is as of yet untested in the field, but powered armor has proved successful. Lionel was also able to reverse-engineer the alien's stun bomb launchers, but the weapon also remains untested in the field. He was also able to develop a craft-sized plasma beam, which deals massive damage to a great range.
Combat: Two UFOs were shot down over America, and two more over Mexico. One mission proved troublesome, a snakeman medium scout that was stuffed to the brim with the bastards. They managed to throw a grenade at the foot of the landing ramp moments after landing and we lost 6 soldiers in the blast.
Summary: Overall, the last two months went over well. I think Evoq is setup pretty dang well, especially with the Eurasia base all setup with radar.
