Operation Spectral Hydra

In Vernon, British Columbia, Canada another XCOM Cell was investigating multiple reports of strange behavior made by an eldery widower farmer named Marvin Wolf. Wolf was complaining that his neighbors were acting oddly and that a great many trucks were coming and going at nearby farms. Although he called the police to report this multiple times no actions were taken. XCOM agent Dermond Bass found evidence of coverup and deletion of these calls at the local police station and began investigating on his own. Eventually, he saw fit to redirect a satellite where bizarre energy emissions were spotted emanating from the vicinity of several Vernon farms. The local XCOM Cell went into action and dispatched a team.

Canadian XCOM Team
Rona Kim - South Korean psychologist and criminal profiler formerly working for the FBI.
Oleg Dmidov - Former Russian mafia cleaner called in to fix mistakes.
Abraham Wilson - Irish master (even a cunning) linguist and mathematics savant who worked as a translator for NATO.
Evie Langstrom-Cotter - American infiltrator and spy wit the CIA.
Dermond Bass - American communications and surveillance expert, worked with NASA.
Colin Peacock - American US Marshal worked with the DOJ.

Details of Operation Spectral Hydra are sketchy and the team almost withdrew for unknown reasons before going back into the town. Soon after, the nearby township of Coldstream suffered a catastrophic explosion at a local chemical plant forcing a widespread evacuation and government disaster declaration. The team was forced to abandon the mission and withdraw to a safehouse at Morton Lake to the northeast of Vernon. After two days at the safehouse all communications ceased. Your team is being sent in to find out what happened and resolve the situation.
