Except I went “No it wouldn’t…”, clicked Restart… “yes, it did…”, then went out to the menu and deleted the save. I considered it a fair loss – I went in with no MC shielding etc – and didn’t want to a retry.

If you botch the final mission, even classic/ironman, it lets you restart the mission.

I got MC raped in the last room, the last couple turns were “well this is over dammit.” and the volunteer was the last to fall.

And then a popup window “The volunteer has been killed, retry mission?” came up. I literally yelled “I’M NOT A F–KING BABY YOU S–T GAME?”

And then after a minute I calmed down and restarted… it takes so many restarted games to get to that point, and so much time invested… i guess I am a baby.
