It would not be a peaceful Christmas for anyone. After analyzing the ethereal device, the eggheads came up with an idea about a chamber, much like the overseer UFO had. Someone, with strong enough will and specific psi powers would need to communicate through the ethereal device to the mothership if XCOM was to get even within hailing distance. That was the best - and only - plan we had while aliens kept on terrorizing India, shooting military research craft down in Russia and scouting Canada, again.
Hyperwave relay surely gave us the upper hand as we could plan the assaulting squad according to the opposition, but any of that did not help removing the mothership from the southern Atlantic coast of Brazil. Soldiers were tested in the psi labs in turns and to great disappointment no Harmony Lad, Snake Catcher or Branca had the gift of 44.
From the downed UFO in Canada, the squad even carried back a captured ethereal. To no avail. This robed, helmet-wearing mysterious entity gave us nothing new at all and frustrating was growing high. Gollop Chamber was ready to be used, but nobody dared to put 44 in there as long as even single projections to fry opponents' minds into meaningless pulp meant he would have bloodshot eyes and his nose bleeding for days afterwards.
