How could a xeno know what an APC does? You could argue that they figured it out in the initial stages of the outbreak but can you really? What if we gave an IC reason for the xenos to slash the APC, then discover what it does as a result. I do not mean you need to slash the APC to know what it does. But what if say it made a beep every now and then, that showed up in chat as a bold alert message alarming the xeno of the APC, probing an aggressive response.
