Mission Objectives
I've noticed that mission objectives may include things like "Investigate a lead" or "Get Advents Attention" that can be attached to some of the mission types. Most likely the "relay" "hacking" "Looting" and "VIP" missions.
I believe these may correspond to strategic layer events, such as leading to new missions, or causing the AI to reprioritize advent troop distributions
I first noticed this with a mission that I elected not to complete, while I cannot exactly recall the text, seemed to imply it was related to a base raid that occurred immediately following the missions expiration.
It may be a good idea to collect mission objective text in this article as well.
I've decided it would be best to not edit the article to include this stub of information.

- I noticed when I completed a mission with the Find a Lead objective, it completed that objective in the strategic layer (I now have "grow the resistance" instead). I assume they correspond to strategic objectives (and I just haven't seen the Get Advent's Attention objective yet).
- The alternative is that Get Advent's Attention might signify that this mission will generate more threat than usual.

I think that leads are things that direct you to interesting things? I think that after I do one of them, I often get another scan site. For instance, I got some that directed me to scan sites with a MEC, intel, supplies, etc. Possibly also to "storylines" (for lack of a better descriptor), for instance the liberation "storyline".

More missions
There is also a mission to root out the advent spies. The one I did tonight had 5 advent and the faceless spy. Also, does anyone know what is up with the formatting?
