Brent the Rookie can't catch a break...
XCOM-ic #11 – “Damsel in Distress”
(Click on the image to see the full-size version)
The alien here is referred to as a "Faceless", shapeshifters that masquerade as human civilians in the XCOM 2 missions. Just about everyone who's played XCOM 2 has experienced the scenario here, where a certain percentage of the time a given civilian is a Faceless that assumes it's real form when you get close (and have little or no action points left to react). So I tend to have my most expendable unit performing the "civilian rescue" role. Have gone through more than a couple "Brents" this way... 😏
