After charging a 1 or more enemy operatives those models receive 1MW each.

How to capture infiltrate and strike from shadows without being too powerful? For reference Stealer cult can inflitrate one and change orders on everyone for 1CP each. How to do something similar for scorpions?
Infiltrate
During the Set Up Operatives step of the mission sequence this operative can be set up after all enemy operatives have set up. Place the operative with a Conceal order anywhere on the killzone in cover that outside the enemy drop zone AND more than 6 from enemy operatives.
