"This council wishes you the best of luck, commander. For the sake of our world, we hope you succeed in all of your endeavors."
"And remember; We will be watching."
With their solemn parting word, the members of the council and their stony representative disconnected, leaving the commander to contemplate the sheer impossibility of his task. With all of the resources of the world, the XCOM project would surely achieve great things, but the threat of invasion seemed insurmountable. He rubbed his temples in frustration.
A sharp rap on the door disturbed the commander from his musings, and before he could say a word of acknowledgement, the visitor pushed open the door and entered the office.
"Commander, the first batch of recruits have arrived, and are waiting to be briefed. Would you like us to postpone the briefing until you're more prepared?" Spoke a short, refined woman, in somewhat accented English.
"Absolutely not." Replied the commander, his voice curt with irritation. The woman seemed taken back by his reaction, but quickly regained her composure.
"Lead the way."
