Alien Origins X-COM UFO Defense

Alien Origins is a critical research component in X-COM UFO Defense. Preceded by Alien Research X-COM, Alien Origins is unlocked by researching a living, captured alien of any type or rank.

Alien Origins Research

It is clear that we are fighting a losing battle on earth. The alien hordes are overwhelming in number. The best we can do is slow down their progress. The only hope for humanity is to tackle the aliens at their source. Our research seems to indicate a nearby base of operations within our solar system. Aliens indicate this place to be the centre of an ancient civilisation that pre-dates Human history. We must locate this place as soon as possible. However we need to capture and interrogate an alien leader to gain more detailed information. The larger UFOs probably contain at least one Alien leader.
