There they encounter a chamber with a dormant mechanical soldier prototype. The squad fights continuously spawning mechs while taking an elevator one soldier per turn to the second floor. Air defences activate, making extraction impossible, and the squad is forced further in to the facility to find a solution. After helping ADVENT to create mechs based on Raymond Shen's designs, it went insane and turned on its ADVENT controllers and took over the facility for itself. The AI was captured and corrupted by the aliens when humanity was defeated. As the squad enter the facility they're taunted by a presence that is revealed to be an artificial intelligence created by Raymond Shen, named JULIAN. The squad is dropped at the facility, where they quickly encounter derelict mechs which turn hostile upon activation. Her weapon can be selected, but she can't otherwise be given different items or armor. She is a specialist with high HP and Will and extremely high Hacking skill, with a range of specialist abilities from the Tech side of the tree, greatly empowered by her prototype ROV-R Gremlin. Lily is a required soldier in the squad that investigates the Lost Towers facility. Lily insists on going on the mission as well. The transmission is traced to a facility and, worried about the possibility of the Avenger's systems being compromised remotely, Bradford authorises a mission to investigate. At some point early in the campaign, Lily Shen's ROV-R Gremlin has its remote uplink activated, seemingly with her father's codes.
