Elbrus: Sentence implied that you have to let the VIP die to gain bonus. (is => isn't) [If the VIP is successfully rescued...]

The Council has been monitoring unusual reports about a hijack attempt on an unauthorized French military convoy. Although the alleged perpetrators were human, our intel indicates the aliens may also have been in the area. If true, this raises a number of questions about the ''cargo'' being moved. We'll need a squad to investigate; Central should have our complete report momentarily.

A French military convoy was caught in an ambush. The convoy's current status is unknown. Be prepared for anything.
*Investigate the area of operations
*Locate and secure any survivors as well as the convoy's cargo
*Eliminate any remaining opposition

==Notes==
* Council Reward:
** §150
** 1 Scientist
** 1 Engineer

==Tactics==
* Essentially a "Locate/Rescue the VIP" [[Extraction (EU2012)|Extraction]] mission:
** Only [[Thin Man (EU2012)|Thin Men]] appear as seeded, and airdropped enemies.
** The VIP will be an unarmed, non-hostile, and (surprisingly) cooperative [[EXALT (EU2012)|EXALT ]]survivor. He'll verbally taunt you the whole trip back, though.
* After the VIP is rescued, enemies will drop in static locations and only as the VIP moves closer to excavation zone. Keep VIP back without moving forward, if you need a breather between reinforcements.
* If the VIP isn't successfully rescued you won't gain any bonus or research opportunities and you'll never hear about the VIP again.
