Dear diary,
Today an alien raided my house and for some reason tied itself up in my basement. It might have done this to get me arrested, but I already got an alibi. Why do these types of things only happen to me!?

Dear diary,
Today the alien started to make strange gasping noises so I poured more water down its breathing apparatus so its gills could take in oxygen. The gills looked strange, and after I poured water down the 2 nostril like holes it began gurgling, must be hungry. The alien spit out all the food I put in its mouth, [small][small]or at least I think that's its mouth[/small][/small]

Dear diary,
Today the Alien stopped being annoying and started to stink. I let it out but instead of standing, it fell into the puddle of rain near the drain on the street. It swam slowly but surely, also today my neighbor gave me a coupon for a "Mental Institution", I think that I was so smart that I got into an institute without applying! I'm such a genius!

You dang Ninja! You ruined my comedy gold!
I appreciate the effort. But now the shoe's on the other foot...
Journal Entry 1:
The pyro's back... still unsure why there is a basement on this ship, but ehh... I'll run with it. Anyway, pyro's back, and before tying itself up, it was kind enough to set its flamethrower and fuel tank to the side with a convenient manual for how to use it. Hmm...
Journal Entry 2:
After verifying the proper use of a pyro's flamethrower on Wikipedia, I have begun testing the flame-resistance of the pyro's suit. This flamethrower is different from the ones that the Terran's "firebats" use... it is held more like a rifle, rather than being mounted on the subject's arms... hmm... an older design obviously... but somehow more effective... and... more entertaining. Unlike the "firbat" flamers, the pyro's flamethrower does not focus into an almost beam-like state, instead the pyro's flamethrower hurls randomized tongues of fire at its foes... better for larger groups and possibly very effective at revealing cloaked units (though this has yet to be tested).
Journal Entry 3:
While testing the flamethrower on the pyro again, I noticed that something that was invisible a moment before being revealed by the flame behind the pyro. The new subject began screaming in an unknown Terran language. The new subject, which the pyro identified as "hmpph mmmmphhh henna henna mmmph" (translates as: "Don't stab me bro, don't stab me!"), the new subject wore a strange cloth, skin-tight helmet on its head and a cloth suit... a "cigarette" fell out of its mouth at death.
Journal Entry 4:
Regardless of how the pyro got here, its flamethrower is far too primitive to be integrated into our technology or tactics. Pity... it would have been nice to have a second option when I will have to deal with the Overmind.
