It's not XCOM 2, but the conversation reminded me that I had not played Enemy Within yet. One of my initial recruits was an Australian named Amy Williams. Naturally, the next male Aussie that joined the roster got renamed to Rory Pond. Squaddie Williams hasn't earned her call sign yet (It's only been a few days), but Sergeant Pond is known as "Centurion." Unfortunately, he ended up a sniper, instead of support, so no Dr. Rory here, just a disturbingly accurate shot with a big bore rifle. Exalt learned that the Centurion was not to be fucked with on his home turf Down Under. The rooftop sniper duel was especially telling, even after all of his available cover was removed by a grenade.

Amy, perhaps unsurprisingly, decided that the life of a Heavy was the life for her. I keep hearing Karen Gillian shouting "Cry some more!" in her Inverness accent.

Yes, I know that they're both British, but the UK took its ball and went home in the first month of the game, so I figure that Marines Williams and Pond figured that Pommyland was for the birds and moved south, or something.
