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.

Notes
- Council Reward:
- §150
- 1 Scientist
- 1 Engineer
Tactics
- Essentially a "Locate/Rescue the VIP" Extraction mission:
- Thin Men appear as seeded, and airdropped enemies, two immediately upon talking to the survivor, followed by several more Thin Men and one Sectoid as you move the survivor closer to the extraction point.
- The VIP will be an unarmed, non-hostile, and (surprisingly) cooperative 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.
