[ EU ] A squad of new XCOM recruits are about to embark on their first mission .

Sergeant Moore led the four rookies onto the Skyranger. `` A hit and run mission'' he said, `` Command needs some more experienced soldiers'' Rookies Tolentino, Cameron, Keller and Zoe sat in the seats, with Sarge at the front. Lieutenant Sampson, aka `` The Cat'' and the new `` Psi Operative'' Hartmann, who utilized the alien's technology against them, waved them off. Sarge started the briefing. 
 
 `` We're going to a market district to secure a hostage. We're getting in and getting out.'' 
 
 Zoe shook. `` I hope we do n't run into those big monsters.'' 
 
 `` Ah, they should n't be too bad,'' Keller chuckled. `` They're dumb and ugly.'' 
 
 `` Recruits! Listen up!'' Sarge furrowed his brow at the chatting soldiers. `` The enemy we are fighting will not be easy to beat.'' You will be exposed to grenades, mind control, poison, laser beams et cetera. There's no room for goofing around here. When we land, take it slow getting to the hostage, then run as fast as you can to the extraction point.'' 
 
 Zoe shook even more. `` Mind control!? Oh god...'' 
 
 `` I've been mind controlled.'' Said Sarge. `` Was n't pretty. But, if it does happen, shoot the alien that is using the control.'' 
 
 Keller looked astonished. `` You survived mind control? Wow!'' 
 
 Sarge heaved his grenade launcher. `` Yeah.'' He closed his eyes. `` My friend did n't'' 
 
 > Moore! Moore! What are you doing? AAAAAGH!! 
 
 Sarge shook the memories off. Thank god the commander backed him up, otherwise he would have been exiled. War is hell. But this war is worth the blood. A few dead humans, or all of humanity extinct? 
 
 Cameron ate it up. He had been waiting for this day ever since he joined XCOM. He spent most of his days in the bar, on sanitation duty or in the command center. This was his day. He nudged Tolentino. `` I'm going to get at least five aliens. How about you?'' Tolentino, while not as hardcore as Cameron, was still very excited for today. `` Four. I want to blow up one of those mechs.'' 
 
 The Skyranger lowered its ropes onto a building. The five soldiers rappelled onto the roof. They took position by the balcony. `` Alright, four hostiles, two troopers, an officer, and a sectoid.'' Cameron grinned. `` I got this.'' 
 
 He dropped a grenade in the middle of the group of enemies. It exploded, killing all of them. 
 
 `` Ha! Four out of five!'' He then moved to the right a bit, to get a better angle of the enemies. 
 
 `` What now Sarge?'' 
 
 `` Sarge?'' 
 
 He turned to the left and saw the exploded corpses of his friends. 
 
 How? Was he tripping? 
 
 His mind spoke to him... or was it? 
 
 `` Four out of five indeed.'' 
 
 A sectoid, hand outstretched, with a purple mass protruding from it, appeared in front of Cameron. 
 
 His hands motioned his pistol to his chin. 
 
 He spoke out loud this time, but did n't remember wanting to speak. 
 
 `` Now, five.'' 
 
 Black. 
 
 Edit: This did happen on one of my missions in XCOM 2. Within the first few turns a rookie who was mind controlled with a frag grenade killed my whole squad. I got pissed.
