Who are the absolute monster you send to... * Spoilers*

So when transporting the machine to Habitat, you are confronted by 3 monks. Azrael, Tau-Six and Delta Nine. They sent my team of ~12 people to character selection screen quick, fast and in a hurry twice - before i decided to throw money at the fight(energy weapons+grenades).
But before the fight you can send 2 nameless absolute legends to scout ahead. You hear sound of gunfight. After the dust settles Azrael is left with 50% hp, his colleagues at 15% hp each. I m sure if they actually focused fire on one of the cyborgs at a time - they would win the fight with no difficulty. In my head lore - they didnt die but just left after getting bored. And yes, even with no hp left cyborgs made short work of my team of ~12 ppl.
Who are those 2 guys? You cant tell me they were random mercs.

This might get a bit reworked in the future, but my current headcannon is that they released an Indiana Jones-style boulder on the railway.

Mine is that during the long transit and the Mutiny and chaos that followed - the ship was boarded by a small group of skinchanging aliens who integrated themselfs into the spciety for unknown reasons. Maybe they were fugitives who were hiding from something - we dont know. They went into the fight, obviously their abilities were way above monks. But physical contraints of mercs bodies didnt allow them to show off in full. Besides it would be too suspicious if they managed the monks on their own. So after their current husks "died" they left. They ll find another.

Considering all the blood splatter but no corpses, i would say they blew themselves up in their face...

It's even better when you send FROGS at the monks and they still end up with similar amounts of hp. Maybe a little more compared to when you send gunmen. It's hilarious.

Quick query: does sending the men/frogs change the amount of combat rep obtained from the fight?
