The XCOM Rookie's Uplifting Primer
![FOREWORD By Lord Central officer Bradford You are a soldier in the X-Com project You stand with billions of others in the great est army that has ever existed, bathed by the brilliant light of the hologlobe with a chance of immortality that is the gift of a glorious death. It is the highest honour to fight in these same illustrious ranks which have produced some of the most exulted heroes the Earth has ever known. Your responsibility, and that of your comrades, is to help ensure that our magnificent Earth is defended from its enemies. You will smite our foes wherever you find them, with the fervent passion and fury of these heroes of the past This book has been produced to instruct you in your difficult transition from your previous life to one serving in the X-Com. The life of a soldier is harsh and unforgiv ing. You will labour hard and find yourself pushed to your limits. You will be trained in mind, body and soul to be the warrior that the immortal Commander expects you to be. You might think you are sacrificing much by doing this. But consider the sacrifices which have been made for you! Our Immortal Commander forfeited more, renounced more and surrendered more than is possible for you to under stand, all to ensure mankind's continuing and ennobled existence. It is the highest privilege for you to be able to repay that debt by fighting for Him in His illustrious X-Com project Wherever you are sent, be assured that the Commander Holy work will be waiting for you. You will see things that few will be asked to bear witness to, and you will have to face your worst fears. But face them you must, with strength, fortitude and valour; for it is on these qualities that the X-Com rookie is built. But rest assured, there will be a colonel behind you to ensure your faith remains constant Put your trust in the Immortal Commander and He will watch over you. You will find in this book guidance when you are in health, comfort when you are in sickness and strength when you are in adversity Go forth and ensure our prosperity. Fight with pride and fervour, for it is better to die for a purpose than live without reason. The Immortal Commander watches over you. He will judge you with unflinching eyes.

![CHIEF ENGINEER SHEN RON-R AREAS OF EXPERTISE: Mechanical Engineerin Robotics, Älien tec The only second-generation member of XCOM, Lily Shen followed in the footsteps of her father, renowned engineer Dr. Raymond Shen. Serving as Chief Engineer aboard the Avenger, Shen is naturally gifted when it comes to dealing with the diverse collection of human and alien technology XCOM now relies on for survival. She notably pioneered the development of remote "Gremlin" drones to support XCOM's field operations. Rumor has it her personnel Gremlin, ROV-R, is uniquely modified PSYCH PROFILE NOTES Although one would expect this patient to be deeply troubled by the events of her childhood, having lived through the invasion at age eight, Lily is surprisingly well-adjusted. Under the guidance of her father, she apparently spent much of this time after the war on the move, leaving her distrustful and prone to impatience. With the initial recovery of the Avenger, Shen was educated by her father until his passing, an event she took particularly hard. Her close attachment to the Avenger, as well as her aggression towards the aliens, can be attributed directly to this loss 2 ©1994-2015 Take-Two Interactive Software and its subsidiaries.
