• "Negative, that equipment should be passed on directly to the science team."
• "You tell those guys we can't have them bringing back alien body parts as souvenirs...it's a breach of protocol!"

XCOM 2

Bradford survived the fall of XCOM and was the driving force behind establishing the resistance along with Raymond and Lily Shen. After organising and personally rescuing the Commander from the alien laboratory, Bradford again took up his role as Central Officer under the Commander's leadership.
