Pos. Scientists in missions: Should only spawn 1 type of minion / LT?

As far as I can tell, the type of possessed scientists are set when the arc is given, and won't change however many times it's reset.
On the bright side, the ship map is mission 2 in a brief arc, and you can see what type of scientists you'll be facing in mission 1, so it's something that's workable through Ouroboros if your "live" version doesn't give you what you want.

Aye, I just got testing and noticed it was same through the entire arc, on two characters. I'm just wondering if this is a bug that can be fixed or an unfortunate circumstance of the Scientists being part of CoT and not their own VG. Which Dev would be the best one to ask about this?|

My Mercs/Traps has Ice minions and Mind/Emp Lt.s in the live version. Easy enough. Icers don't toggle on armor before engagement like Earthers so I can trip mine them all the more easily :3
Edit: O.o with i17's ability to drop missions, maybe you can refresh the arc... gonna go test it.

I do know that if you use Abandon Mission on Radios/Newspapers, you'll get a fresh list of Three Choices...

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
Abandoning did not change the spawns at mission one.
I noticed that in the Code Merlin arc, each mission only spawns One type of minion and One type of lieutenant no matter how much you reset the mission, but the types vary when you pick up the arc from Ouro. I was told in VU2010 that this was a limitation of Pos. Scientists not being in normal spawn tables. Is that true or is this bugged?
