** Despite a brief moment of friction at the beginning, the [[ColdSniper Silent Sniper]] quickly proves his worth as a member of the team, being the first to spot aliens on the move and saving Patricia from a Sectoid that nearly got the drop on her.
** Patricia herself quickly proves to be no slouch either: she knocks out a mind-controlled Ivan before he can kill any more of his teammates, and saves Pete from the remaining Sectoids and Drones, alongside Paige.

** He is the first to figure out that there are Thin Men cleverly hidden amongst the fearful populace. He couldn't intervene in time to save Cortez, but if he had never connected the dots, XCOM could've lost ''more soldiers'' to a single Thin Man.
** His DyingMomentOfAwesome: Shortly after first encountring the Chryssalid zombies, he sees a few of the things chasing after fleeing civilians. What does he do? Charge in. He kills the Chryssalids, saving people he never knew in the process, but sadly, the final Chryssalid pins him down, and no one is able to save him.

* Van Doorn is a walking moment of awesome, and is probably the one who most:
** His very first scene has him and his security detail being ambushed by alien forces. He wastes no time in formulating a plan to hold them off. He and his men succeed in holding out long enough for XCOM to arrive.
*** And after XCOM arrives? He fights an ''[[MechaMook Outsider]]'' in close quarters. The Outsider '''loses.'''
*** When all's said and done, and their team ends up being rerouted to fend off the alien attack in Hamburg, Van Doorn is eager to help, even in spite of whatever his superiors may think.

* Chapter 3, XCOM's first encounter with the aliens, sees resident rookie Abigail Gertrude in her first ever combat engagement. She scores the killing shot on two Sectoids, and although there were some moments where she was close to panicking, she's able to keep it together throughout the entire mission. Several of her teammates compliment her on this, and even the Commander (who had been observing through their armor cams) is positively impressed.
* Chapter 5:
** Despite a brief moment of friction at the beginning, the [[ColdSniper Silent Sniper]] quickly proves his worth as a member of the team, being the first to spot aliens on the move and saving Patricia from a Sectoid that nearly got the drop on her.
