Some info from discord:
The skill choices after missions are available based on events during the mission. Baetriss was able to take Hit the Dirt because she got hit by explosive damage, and obviously using a weapon gives you a related choice for that weapon. The quest author didn't say how the available two choices are picked from the valid ones, but I'm guessing some have priority over others and the frequency of an event/action matters too. If we pass up a skill choice, we have to unlock it again via actions/events in the next mission.
The Android comes with a laser rifle, cannot be healed with a trauma kit, and upon reaching 0 hp she has no chance to die.
Mother of Horrors can eat corpses to become Gravid offscreen (like, when moving between rooms/maps in a mission), but cannot produce minions offscreen, so if we want more than one Horror per fight we'd have to make one during the fight.
Offering's abilities don't work against mechanical units. She is blind but can 'see' without eyes, yet she still needs line of sight to 'see' units, and is affected by darkness (the explanation is the dark power is stronger in darkness and blocks her mystical sight). She has worse aim than other units as well. Her damage reduction power starts out kindof weak, making her squishier than Fucc is with basic armor.
Improved Command Structure can be triggered between rooms to swap a unit with the reserve unit, but only Casualties can be swapped out during a firefight. I am not sure if the Casualty has to leave the room to make the swap, or if we just can't give them orders anymore and the new unit enters the room from the entrance. Obviously it must be the latter if the unit is dead.
Pistols and SMGs are the same weapon class and thus use the same skill advancement and weapon upgrade purchases.
Some types of C.Orgs have Monstrous Body in the Activation pool; I think this could be an unpleasant surprise, but we can also eventually get weapons and armor for them so it won't make them melee-only in the long run. Notably, if a C.Org has Large Frame, they may have access to Improved Monstrous Body. Baetriss has a version of it in her Activation pool that makes her LONGER instead of bigger.
