Meanwhile on Sol 1 over in Oasis Springs as the Brain is killed on Cydonia a Supply Ship is flying overhead. As before the loss of Psionic link causes the Sectoids on board to lose consciousness. The ship crashes killing all on board except a female Engineer. As she comes to she is sitting in the control room. She isn't sure what is going on or who she is but she reaches forward and touches an object in front of her. Its a similar to the object that the first Sectoid touched in the first part of the story. As before it seems to download something into her. Its as if her mind has been rebooted with instructions. It tells her that she is an Engineer and that the ship is malfunctioning. She then goes into action and powers down the ship. As she heads down to the power supply floor she sees that two of the three units are exploded and on fire. She manages to extinguish the flames and then collapses outside the craft after breathing in too much smoke.
Also in Oasis Springs...
On the morning of Sol 1 a group of Sectoids in a Large Scout Ship had landed in another area of the world. A team of XCom soldiers had assaulted their landing site and had killed all but one of the Sectoids. But they also were taking heavy casualties and had to abort the mission. The lone Sectoid, a male Navigator was able to take off and was on his way back to base when he was flying over Oasis Springs at the time the Brain was defeated. As before he too lost consciousness and his ship plummeted towards the ground. But since he was at a higher altitude he had time to come to and like the Engineer was close to an alien computer and after regaining his memory instructions was able to gain control of his craft and land safely in Oasis Springs.
So to recap as Sol 1 ends...
We have a Navigator and an Engineer in separate locations of Oasis Springs at sites of Alien craft.
In Willow Creek the Leader and Medic are in the park resting after their failed abduction of Bob Pancakes. The Leader has a broken leg and a gunshot wound to the arm.
In Newcrest the other Medic has assumed the identity of Clair Huron and has brainwashed her. But the alien has not regained her memory yet.
And the Alien from the beginning of the story as it turns out has found the site of an Alien Base and Battleship that had begun to be recovered and dismantled by someone. Possibly XCom? But at this time no humans were on site. Stairs had been added allowing access to upper levels of the ship and access to the underground base. When he touched the computer object it downloaded his instructions. He is a Sectoid Commander. An Elder aged Commander with several missions completed in his lifetime. When he touched the computer it turned back on partial power to the base and sent out a homing signal. But at this time its only able to reach short range. But it has linked up with the other still operational computers. This means that eventually the others can find the base if things go well....
