Dark Event sitreps are in addition to any base sitreps that are part of the mission. Strategic Dark Events have also changed and now instead of applying to all missions they all have a 40% chance to apply as a sitrep to any missions that spawn during its duration. These can be beneficial, neutral, or negative towards XCOM. And it leaves out perhaps the most painful truth: that the perpetrators of this atrocity have yet to answer for it.Sitreps are additional modifiers that affects the mission with a 30% chance to apply one. There’s also the severe psychological injury we’ve incurred, traceable through the staggering rise of psychiatric disorders over the past few years. It leaves out how, last summer, the rotting grain left in the destroyed silos was left to burn for a month, so that again the city had to witness the sight of smoke pouring from the port. Yet this litany sanitizes the extended horror, leaving out: the rescue and cleanup efforts left to ordinary citizens, the people with destroyed homes who couldn’t access their own money for repairs, the homeless who couldn’t afford to feed themselves, the hospitals that had too little medicine or electricity to treat the wounded, the people viciously beaten and detained during protests demanding justice. Now, three years since the port explosion, the losses are well known: some 220 dead more than 7,000 injured, many with long-term disabilities about 70,000 homes destroyed and 300,000 people left homeless. This was the country whose capital city exploded. Pharmacy shelves were bereft of goods, gas station queues were kilometers long, and, at night, streets and houses were pitch-black without electricity. Many Lebanese could no longer afford fuel, food or medicine, but all those things were in scarce supply anyway. This was an entirely illegal maneuver - a theft, in fact - but undertaken in collusion with the dons in government. To offset their losses, banks had frozen the money in depositors’ accounts and restricted withdrawals to an amount barely enough for daily necessities. Lebanon’s economy, designed to function as a giant Ponzi scheme among the banks, the central bank and the government, had finally failed - as many economists had warned it would. It was several months into the pandemic and about a year into a financial collapse that had already plunged most of the country into poverty and sent the currency into free fall. ![]()
