* AscendedMeme: Many fans of the original X-Com loved to exaggerate the threat of Chryssalids, several ''Let's Play'' retellings of playthrough deliberately injecting missions where X-Com is forced to face massive numbers of Chryssalids, most notably Guava's LP where Japan is overrun. The ''Enemy Within'' Council Mission "Site Recon" plays out almost exactly like some of them, even allowing for the possibility of operatives failing to reach the evac point by the time bombs start dropping!
