Cyberweb would probably be pretty irritated if we trashed their HQ, though keeping them happy is not as important as keeping most other corporations friendly.

Since our agents start spread evenly across one side of the mission zone, I simply had them all start marching straight ahead. Squad 3 finds some stairs up into the main complex, so squad 6 flies over to join them.
We can certainly hear aliens in the area, but still none visible. Squads 1, 2, and 4 have pretty much covered the outdoor area. Lorien registers some non-XCom movemnt on her motion scanner, but there are civilians running around all over with no way to separate their signals from the aliens'. Squad 3 spreads out to cover the library until the other squads arrive, while squad 6 moves to the lift to check the upper level.
Metke gets shot as he enters the lift chamber, and a moment later sees the Anthropod firing from two levels up in the lift itself. A few toxin darts kills that one, though another hit to Metke's shield causes him to pull back to recharge. As he does so, he spots another Anthropod at the top of the lift coming towards them. This one throws an explosive of some kind, which causes an unfortunate amount of damage to the facility and drains the whole squad's shields significantly. They counter with some toxin darts, killing the Anthropod, and the one behind it, before they can cause any more harm.
Squad 1 arrives in the lobby and spreads out to assist squad 3 in watching all the doors while squad 6 continues to explore upstairs. Squads 2 and 4 are finished searching the outside and move towards the lobby as well.
Squad 6 opens a door on two poppers, and is unable to react fast enough to kill them before the first explodes.
No skeletoids or worms on this mission. Cyberweb is still neutral to us, so we haven't yet made them angry with facility damage.
