Soldiers equipped with Flush, Disabling Shot, Rifle Suppression, Shredder Rocket, Flashbangs, Ghost Grenades, Secondary Heart, Mimetic Skin and Neural Damping helps avoid the Sectoid Commander's Mind Control ability and capturing it significantly less difficult than it needs to. In addition, the research credit applies to a project involving the Hyperwave Beacon found at the base, which becomes available immediately after the assault.

The Sectoid Commander is isolated when encountered during this mission, simplifying the task of capturing it, whereas in future missions they are rarely encountered alone. It is imperative to capture the Sectoid Commander alive for interrogation in order to obtain the Psionics research credit. The mission culminates in an encounter with a single Sectoid Commander, which, regardless of the stage of alien invasion, is the first encounter with this enemy type. On the other hand, the numerous bulkheads and multi-level gangways also obscure vision making it possible for to run facefirst into alien patrols.

Both layouts consist mostly of pathways with guardrails that serve as cover. They can easily be distinguished by the loading graphic, as one features an L-shape (see photo, right) while the other does not (see photo, above).

We've only got one chance to make this work though, so let's make sure we do it right. Vahlen's research, and some clever developments down in Engineering, this 'Skeleton Key' should allow you to breach the alien compound. It can then be initiated at any time from Mission Control. This mission becomes available after crafting the Skeleton Key from the Outsider Shard.
