	You must assault a landed Abductor to rescue Annette Durand's squadmates, The Furies, which are held in life support pods. Once you get close enough to the UFO, a timer starts and you have 12 turns to reach each pod and disable the euthanization mechanism. Be extremely careful as weapons and missed shots can destroy the life support pods. Unlike ordinary landed UFOs, there is no command pod on this mission.

	Ideally, you'll want to hold your position away from the UFO and ambush some of the roaming pods before the timer triggers and you're forced to push forward through the map. There is a ~~couple wooden boxes~~ and ~~some cars in front~~ of you as you ~~spawn, and going much further past them~~ will trigger the timer. Once you've killed as many aliens as possible, make your way into the UFO and disable the timers.		Ideally, you'll want to hold your position away from the UFO and ambush some of the roaming pods before the timer triggers and you're forced to push forward through the map. There is a log forward and to the right of the spawn: if you stay behind it you will not trigger the timer[https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/cg28dk/clarification_on_furies_timer/]. Once you've killed as many aliens as possible, make your way into the UFO and disable the timers.

	Note: this mission does ''not'' contain the normal squad of a landed Abductor; it uses the usual forces for a council mission.		Note: this mission does ''not'' contain the normal squad of a landed Abductor; it uses the usual forces for a council mission.
