Assuming bandwidth holds up, who wants an XCOM squaddie named after them?
(Probably won't be sent on the first mission of the night, though: we're starting out with the St. Johns bug hunt mission. Sending my first team out on that, if they're available. Of course it happened just before my lasers were finished...)
