I have 2 hive infestations: one in the far north (about 30 hives), let's call it hive A, and one east from my base (5 hives), let's call it hive B. Both hives are safely contained behind stone walls and doors. I pay them a visit daily to keep their numbers in check, and to help myself to their valuable jelly.

A mechanoid cluster just dropped to the south, so I've sent my wizard grenadier to deal with it. He has a pretty high psy sensitivity, so he managed to maintain his invisibility until all of the mechanoid buildings and turrets were destroyed. The remaining mechas rushed towards the south base entrance (which is a killbox).

That's when a group of friendly outlanders dropped by (counting 16, equipped with firearms). Instead of engaging the mechas they decided to attack the hive B. They've lost 4 men, but they successfully destroyed the hive. That would barely affect my jelly supply, so I didn't mind. In retrospect, however, I realize now I should never have let them anywhere near that hive, I should have sealed the hive entrance doors shut with walls in front of them. Once the hive B was destroyed the insects from hive A went nuts and broke their enclosure, and proceeded on their killing spree.

At the same time my shooters (counting 6) were wrapping things up with the mechas at the south base entrance. Once the mechas were dealt with, I've managed to take a good defensive position at the west entrance, before the insects broke in (3 melee in front of a 1-tile entrance, with 6 shooters behind them). Looks good, I thought, I've successfully dealt with 100-insect crowds with this exact setup, and there is only like 15 insects right now.

And that's where the friendlies step in. They take positions at some distance behind and start firing away. One of them is equipped with a smoke launcher, it fires a smoke cloud right into my group of shooters, rendering them useless. One of my shooters gets downed, another one, one of my essential colonists, receives a heavy SMG burst to the back of her had. She dies on the spot.

The friendlies somehow managed to either kill, down, or injure each of my colonists, before I have dealt with the insects that they've brought on us. They've turned my impregnable defensive position into a slaughterhouse. And now I'm about to fail a huge quest that I've been working on for 17 days, because one of the guests is gravely injured, while another one is on fire. No enemy raid has dealt my colony this much damage so far. I'm going to pay them a visit and bring the two unstable power cells from the mech cluster with me. And then detonate them in the middle of their fucking colony.
