XCOM Enemy Unknown: Playthrough Part 6

June didn't go so well but we'll make up for it in July! 

Last Time, we fought our way through June, we had to let a few UFOs escape which got us a low score on our Council report but at least Panic is relatively low. We start out July with an Alien Abduction mission!
