XCOM PR-2

Rule 6: XCOM is here to help others, but the Nigerian Prince thing is a scam

To the esteemed Jennifer Trill,

Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I got your contact from the International web site directory. I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to its esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable and trust worthy person I can do business with and by the recommendations I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business.

I am Wumi Abdul; the only Daughter of late Mr. and Mrs. George Abdul. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business deal. When my mother died on the 1st October 2019, my father took me and my younger brother HASSAN special because we are motherless. Before the death of my father on 30th June 2023 in a private hospital here in Abidjan he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of $12.500.000 (Twelve Million, five hundred thousand dollars) left in a suspense account in a local Bank here in Abidjan, that he used my name as his first Daughter for the next of kin in deposit of the fund.

He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth and some huge amount of money his business associates supposed to balance his from the deal they had that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose, (such as real estate management). Sir, we are honorably seeking your assistance in the following ways.

1) To provide a Bank account where this money would be transferred to.
2) To serve as the guardian of this since I am a girl of 26 years.

Moreover Sir, we are willing to offer you 15% of the sum as compensation for effort input after the successful transfer of this fund to your designate account overseas.

Greatest Regards,

Wumi Abdul

Rule 7: Help operatives in need, don't try to entice the enemy to intercourse

My name is Rookie Bridget Chen, and I have nearly died during the course of multiple missions when I was constricted by a "Viper" alien, and my squad mates failed to help me. On my first mission, when we encountered a Viper I was unaware of just what they could do. Needless to say, I didn't question my orders to move into melee range, but I very quickly found myself trapped by the alien, and rather than help me my squad mates began to play "Let's get it on" by Marvin Gaye. To this day that song haunts me. On subsequent missions I became skeptical, but I had no choice but to obey orders. Among my squad it became a running joke. Sometimes they'd play "I'll get you what you want". At other times it would be "I can't feel my face." Sometimes they wouldn't even play music. They'd just stand there and wolf whistle or talking about 'the hot action'. However, since my marriage to Subject V-8801, she's been administering constriction therapy to me in my off time with the aid of our resident psychologist. While I'm still mostly healed I still have nightmares about those sensual sax notes. There are some nights when I wake up and I feel her coils on me and my muscles lock up and my heart starts racing. I hope none of you have to fear your spouses just because of the reckless actions of your superior officers. This is why I'm pressing the Rookie Respect Initiative and I firmly believe in equal treatment regardless of rank. If you're interested we meet in the mission control room near the Hologlobe the first day of every month.

Rule 8: Throwing anything other than grenades in combat is forbidden

From the desk of Dr. R. Shen,

Commander, I'm unsure of if that recent MEC recruit's actions could be considered to break code, so I've detailed them for your consideration on this matter.

Recently MEC troopers have been reported as throwing SHIV units and even other operatives at X-Rays and around base. While the operatives normally survive completely uninjured, I fear this may be a problem. I've asked them to stop throwing operatives for the time being, and I thought that put an end to it. Then another MEC trooper was throw into the door of my office, severely denting it and surprising me but otherwise causing no harm. Apparently our operatives have been volunteering for what they call 'fastball duty'. I informed them of the dangers of such action and that even volunteering is unwise. The primary perpetrator (who shall remain unnamed) has told me that SHIV units have volunteered. I've asked him to report to Medical and banned the use of MEC suits on the base until you order otherwise.
