Limited Flight - Lieutenant Talbot is equipped with a full set of Marsec Power Armor. This armor's systems are powered by an Elerium microfusion generator, and allows it to generate an antigravity field that can be switched on and off at will. However, the field isn't very powerful, so he can't go zooming about like Superman - think of it as more like hovering, with movement speed roughly equivalent to a fast jog.
Marksman - Talbot's skilled at taking out enemy forces from long range; his preferred weapon is the LSR-15, a high-accuracy laser rifle with integrated telescopic sights.

"You're sure about this, Colonel? That's their main shipbuilding facility?" Talbot asked, looking at the map before him.
Colonel Sanchez nodded. "Looks like it, Lieutenant - though the boffins say that the ships aren't so much built as grown. Some weird organic tech or other, the like of which X-Com's never encountered until this latest incursion. It's completely unlike anything from the First or Second Alien Wars."
Talbot nodded, bringing up a schematic that the probes had put together during their recon sweeps through the Alien Dimension. "Well, it looks like they've got transport arrays on the main floors - here, here, and here. We'll need to take them out to keep them from bringing in backup - and with those down, we should be able to keep the exits clear of Eek troops."
The Lieutenant rotated the schematic, pointing out a few other areas of interest. "These things here, these . . . trunks, they look to be load-bearing. A vortex mine on each should destabilize the structure enough to bring it crashing down on their lumpy heads, though I'd want to seed more vortex mines and some explosive charges throughout the genesis chamber here as backup - if the mined supports don't bring the building down, we can sure wreck their shipbuilding that way too. Either way, I'd set the mines and HE for remote detonation - that way, we can blow them once the teams are in the transports and on their way back."
Colonel Sanchez nodded. "Pick your teams, Lieutenant. I want that factory gone for good!"
Talbot grinned. "You know me, sir - I'll get the job done!"
