Everything I've seen ever makes it seem like brainsuckers either can't see androids or just disregard them as targets (but not enemies) and try to path to someone else. In all fairness I've never set up an android blocking access to a real target and let it run up and try to do its thing. Maybe I'll load up a test mission.

Q: How many sectoids does it take to change a lightbulb? A: No conclusive results were able to be recorded. All test subjects in the Alien Containment Facility died of injuries sustained during their capture by XCOM tactical squad. Project Lightbulb requires more test subjects.

The city is quiet.  Energy egg technology is analyzed, and we begin drawing up plans for the advanced physics lab, we're going to need it to get the control systems figured out in any kind of reasonable timeframe. Probably we'll have to build another base around it. Alien infiltration remains at zero. But not everyone is friendly. Cyberweb, Transtellar, Sanctuary Clinic, and Energen are all unfriendly and could decide XCom is more trouble than it's worth.     None of these groups are outright heavy hitters, usually. If they go hostile we may well end up with corporate hit squads rolling in. The bigger problem is that transtellar is the corp that controls transport and shipping, so if we hire anyone or buy anything we'll have to go pick it up manually which is a pain in the rear end. Cyberweb is the producer for targeting computers which we need to be able to shot ufo good. Sanctuary Clinic and Energen don't directly provide anything we can use, but they do own a bunch of buildings and if they go hostile they will deploy security whenever we're around. It doesn't seem like these guys have any enemies that are glad we're not on great terms, or at least for now they're staying neutral with us and waiting to see how things play out. ...

TACTICAL NAPPING ACTION anyway things are starting to boil over, it must not have been as quiet as I first assumed. https://i.imgur.com/af7l5a2.gifv Psyke is attacking Diablo. Somehow they blow up a huge part of a police station and this doesn't cause a cop rampage.  Intel is indicating a problem in the sanctuary clinic. Seems we failed to take out all the aliens in the last mission, and some escaped into the city.  Next to the school is a hospital, it's possible they slunk thru the sewers or something and made it north. We can investigate for life forms, but the clinic is already unfriendly to us and if it's a false alarm then they might go outright hostile. Investigate Nightingale Tower? y/n

Then spots some loving worms but doesn't have enough TUs to detonate them. They don't seem to notice us and we're able to vaporize some expensive looking medical equipment. Two goons walk directly past a dangerous life form before HWC realizes what's up and electroshocks it. https://i.imgur.com/iaWswdf.gifv  Small mission. Dunno if this is all the aliens or if more spread out while we were loving around, only time will tell. Biology pulls through:  Fuckin sick

 Finally, now we can really get cracking. In order to build the new lab we need A poo poo Ton of Money.
Meanwhile I bought some lovely interceptors to replace the blown up ones, and Psyke raided the cops. There's another issue:  That last mission did very little to stem the tide of aliens in the city. There are 3 or 4 different buildings and it seems like some aliens escaped back into that school. They're also reproducing in the hospital or in one of the nearby apartments or the procreation park. In the same neighborhood is a Cult compound. e: to make things even more complicated these charts are always slightly out of date. The aliens in the school could have died off without hitting the critical mass they need to keep growing, for example. 
Because of the difficulty level and some other stuff they may actually try and attack our bases with mercs. If they don't get aggressive for as long as they are hostile whenever we try to investigate they will use their security teams to try and kill our guys -- even if there are aliens. If you want I can post the data dumps for what each kind of building supposedly does. The lab requires more than an entire week to build, so if it's at all possible we should figure out a way to pay for it right now. We get paid in a day or two, it's 17:00 Friday and i forget if payday is midnight now or at the beginning of Sunday or what. We need at minimum $25,000 if we build this lab in the same base as the big biolab, so in order to fund this we need perhaps 5 illegal cyberdrugs from a raid, and most raids have given 3-4 iirc. If we could somehow swing 10 we could potentially get the new lab in a new base focused on physics research. Cramming all this stuff into one or two bases is asking for an insane setback if someone gets pissy and blows up the building. It's all tradeoffs.
