Yeah, the Chosen weren't involved in mine either, but for the opposite reason: the RNG never rolled the "UFO hunts the Avenger" Dark Event until after the Chosen were all dead, which meant luckily I'd had the Defense Matrix for some time by then. Long enough that I had started to feel a little silly about it—I suspected that the devs might have removed the original vanilla shootdown mission from the game when they added the "Chosen hunt for the ship" mechanic.
