Rally Point: What's it like to be in charge of the Xenonauts? Um. Two?
Thank you for agreeing to meet me, Commander. Have you met the head scientist? I hate him. I... haven't met him yet. Should I? Don't, he's an arsehole. They call me "Commander" but won't let me fire him. "He's a genius", they keep saying. I don't believe in geniuses. I believe in good teams. He insults the engineers in every report. It's not even funny! I want to lock him in the workshop and tell them he's a strikebreaker. ...Because they're Soviets? Your organisation is unusual. It’s 2009, the seventh decade of the Cold War, yet you're working with both powers to stop the alien menace. Yeah, Xenonauts 2 is a modern UFO.
