The Triton returns with two less than thrilled soldiers. To boost morale I promote them both
to the rank of 'Able Seaman' and give them a bottle of beer to share. But more importantly,
the Triton has a bay full of goodies! I would sell the whole load, but to keep the eggheads
off my back I leave some toys for them to research. All in all, I make almost $370k, unfortunately,
much of that will be spent on new recruits. I am told I should hire more labrats too, but I'll
have to wait for a better financial situation for that or my accountant kills me.
Another landed USO is spotted to the south. Wonder why they like that area so much?
In any case, the new recruits haven't arrived yet, so all I can do is wait.
The USO takes off just as the recruits check in, but as a good commander I was prepared for
that and my two Barracudas are on it's tail in no time. The chase leads them all the way to
the Galapagos and back. To prevent the USO from taking off again, I order it to be torpedoed.

Gregs is first out the door and manages to kill his first Aquatoid behind the Triton.
ColonelCJ gets ambushed, but the Aquatoid is every bit as incompetent as I am, missing with both shots. ColonelCJ kills the alien from point-blank range.
Gregs spots an alien to the north, judging by the door opening sound that accompinied the sighting, the USO is there. I move Fincuan and one of the rookies
who's name escapes me to help Gregs.
And then it goes X-COM. Grenade kills the trio outside, gclarkso goes berserk and thinks the inside of the door is a dirty alien and blasts it with his torpedo
launcher killing everyone inside the Triton.
ColonelCJ returns to the Triton and back to base we go.
