I have a Resistance Order card, Double Agent, which gives a random chance that an ADVENT unit will join your squad on any given mission. I thought when I installed it that that meant one of the enemies would switch sides during the fight, but in fact, you start with your squad plus a scrub-tier ADVENT trooper in the deployment area. The first time that happened, I didn't actually notice until a couple of turns in, when I went to move one of my guys and was like "wait what?"

I don't have a screenshot of it, but another Stun Lancer joined us for a Retaliation Strike mission at one point. Now, given that these missions involve rescuing civilians from a settlement that is being raided by ADVENT, you would think that might cause some confusion and/or consternation, especially when he started running up to cowering civvies to trigger their run-away-to-safety script, but no! Turns out they were perfectly happy to be rescued by a completely stock Stun Lancer with no visual cues that he's on their side.

(Also amusing: if Double Agent fires on an mission where you have to EVAC, it won't end until you take your ADVENT guy with you. He doesn't appear in your roster afterward, so Matt's theory is that you drop him off at the Skirmisher farm off-camera afterward, where he can run and play with the other defectors.)

Speaking of fun with EVAC, uh, Gryph, you dropped something.

(That's from one of the "rescue a VIP and his unconscious bodyguard" missions. G roped out with the bodyguard over his shoulder, and then said bodyguard fell back into the EVAC square, still in the "over someone's shoulder" position, while Firebrand was giving the mission-accomplished speech. Fortunately, it was just a graphics glitch and did not really lead to the poor bastard being left behind.)

At the end of every month you get some status screens, showing how many missions and stuff you accomplished, how much funding you're getting, which Chosen you've discovered and what they're doing, and what nefarious things ADVENT will be up to next month. That middle screen appears every month after you first encounter one of the Chosen—even after you've tracked down and killed all three of them.
