The Avenger is already fully functional and the mission to recover the power core doesn't occur. If playing with tutorial off, the game will instead start in a 4-person mission to destroy an ADVENT monument, to provide a distraction from the recovery of the Commander. You will quickly be launched in to a second mission to obtain a power core for the Avenger to make it flight ready. You are then encouraged to browse the history database and then are introduced to Dr Tygan, the chief scientist, and Lily Shen, chief engineer and daughter of Raymond Shen. The Commander is taken to the Avenger, where Dr Tygan performs an operation to remove an implant from your brain to restore you to health.

As you leave the area, an electrical surge burns out the remaining equipment, and a Codex appears and notes your disappearance. The Commander of XCOM (you) had been captured within the first few months into the campaign of the war in 2015: having been in stasis for 20 years, the tutorial will guide you through with Bradford himself pulling you out of an ADVENT facility. Do note that tutorial makes The Untouchables achievement unattainable. It's recommended to play through your first time with it on, since it also contains plot exposition that you otherwise miss. There is no way to change the events, and you will always finish the mission with two casualties, and one soldier ( Jane Kelly) on your roster at Squaddie rank with the Ranger class. The tutorial mission is entirely scripted, designed to introduce you to various concepts.
