Exz, no need to constantly remind Aru about his slowness.
;DD
Okay, enough.

I'm serious! I think he would make an excellent surgeon. A kind of "musical" doctor ;)
Exz, I can imagine you, after the operation, reaching out from the couch to the doctor, tearfully thanking him for removing the "rose" from your chest, and he slowly takes off his mask and grins:)
and says with a sly grin, "No problem, mate."
...
Probably, from happiness that you were saved by a clanmate and a great forum friend, you will fall into a coma.
...and then you will still have to give him a hundred gold coins xD

Exz, if the distance from the suspicious areas to your operatives is large enough, the Chrysalid won't have time to bite.
Besides, you shouldn't shoot at them with a heavy cannon if you have plasma or laser guns.
...are you stingy with explosives? They aren't so expensive that you would spend half your funds on one terror mission... 1-2 for each soldier is more than enough.
Besides, a rocket launcher with large rockets hits just as well.
...are you worried about the civilians? But what can you do if there is no other way? You will get much less benefit for a missed terror mission or killed soldiers.
And in the end, the mission score will still be positive.
And finally, the most important thing. You must personally finish off any civilian who is in an uncleared area of the battlefield. Otherwise, a much worse fate awaits him. He will serve the same Chrysalids. He will become a zombie. And that is extra trouble for you, and the same losses... so, believe me, you don't need to worry about the people who might be affected by the explosions.
