XCOM 2 - Propaganda Effort

[JollySam]

(Note: This is just something I thought up while messing around with XCOM 2: WOTC's 'photobooth' mode. As far as I can tell, this is the correct category for something like this. If it isn't, please feel free to move it, or let me know where else to post it. Thanks a lot.)

 

SHEN: Central, I really don't have the time to spend on things like this. I'm busy enough keeping the Avenger running.
CENTRAL: I understand how you feel, but we've all got to do our part, Lily.
SHEN: But... shouldn't we use actual soldiers for this kind of thing? For authenticity, I mean.
CENTRAL: We don't need authenticity; this is propaganda. Besides, with your face on the poster, I'm sure the recruits will come flooding in.
SHEN: Well... alright then. Just this once.
CENTRAL: Thanks Shen.

CENTRAL: Thanks, Shen. I appreciate it. Although... these aren't EXACTLY what I had in mind.
SHEN: Hmm?
CENTRAL: What do you say to... showing a little skin?
SHEN: I don't know... I don't feel comfortable doing that kind of thing.
CENTRAL: Before we win this war, we'll all need to do things that we might feel uncomfortable with. 
SHEN: Yeah... that's true.
 

SHEN: Oh my god, that was so embarrassing.
TYGAN: If it boosts morale, I suppose there is no harm in it.
SHEN: Wait, morale? I thought these were for...
CENTRAL: Anyway, these are excellent, Shen. I'm sure the recruits will come flooding in.
SHEN: I mean... anything for the cause, right?
CENTRAL: We still need a few more shots though. Lose the gun. And more skin.
SHEN: Wait, what...
 
 
 
SHEN: Central, I really don't think this is the best use of my abilities.
CENTRAL: Shen, these pictures really are going to help us in the long run.
SHEN: And did you really need to put that poster of me up in the bar? I feel like my reputation is starting to slip here.
TYGAN: I hope our propaganda efforts aren't coming out of my research budget.
SHEN: I mean... (Laugh) What next; going topless?
CENTRAL: ...
SHEN: Oh, god damn it.
 
 

CENTRAL: Um, Shen?
SHEN: (Sigh) What?
CENTRAL: We're thinking of making a calendar. You know, for recruitment.
SHEN: Uh huh. Well... fuck it.
CENTRAL: Thanks Shen, I know your father would be proud.
SHEN: I'm pretty sure he wouldn't.
