---We've still a plan to shrink them down into a more cuddly size.
---Sectoid Overminion, your typical pod master of the babies, these as well as the upgraded versions you'll see more often, they'll have surprises, I'll let you find that out on your own... it'll be "fun". >:]

-Weapons
--STAGE I preperation for new weapon integration, many of the weapon stats you are used to have been refined, the rest soon, new weapons planned soon.
