Though more on the complex side, I'm impressed it all still fits on one page. I like the asymmetric objectives & the way the Xenophytes can grow in strength. Good work!

The mission appears to be somewhat complex, and it doesn't seem to be specified who the security forces and the cooperation are. It would be nice to have it specified under the 'armies' section. I like the theme, though. I definitely would like to try it sometime.

Nice mission, I rate it a 3/5. With the Xenophytes being Tough 3 the game is extremely skewed towards the Corporation side. By turn 4 the eggs are waking up on a 2+ and if even only 4/6 of them wake up, that's 12 wounds you have to deal in 4 turns, which is not very feasible in Firefight, ignoring the fact that the opponent is still also shooting at you. We dropped them down to 1 wound and the game was much more fair and fun. 

We had one instance where the Security player had planted a bomb on an egg, which hatched on the Growth phase. When the Utility phase came around, we were confused as to whether or not it would kill the now hatched Xenophyte. The alien hadn't charged out of contact with the marker we used to represent the bomb, so we ruled the xeno corpse destroyed, but a line clarifying that would be nice.

Overall I loved the vibe, and with a very slight tweak, this resulted in a very fun and dynamic game.
