[X] Kill The Alien. Keep fighting but you'd prefer to get your Dreadnoughts back and produce a sustainable defensive line.
Another short one D: if you want MOAR of my Quests look for Dust and Vampire and the Unchosen One.
Religous was right. Dreadnought Squad was basically ripping apart the aliens with ease. Still you want them back into formation so with that you order them to find an opening and meet up with rest of Zhang's men and the drones.
By your will Commander!
Praise be to XCOM!
Withdraw for now Brothers!
Yeah...far to religous.
"Bradford."
"yes commander" he responds.
"How did we get these guys?"
"uh....I don't actually know....."
Meanwhile...
*BRIEHTWOIHOIRHOSIAAAAGEH*
FIRE! FIRE!
As your Dreadnoughts enthusiastically rendevous with the main group, Zhang's mercenaries are busy exchanging fire with a few aliens that are somehow able to shoot spikes from vaguely gun-shaped organs.
A few with scythe blades charge at them but are quickly blocked by your drones which proceed to engage CQC protocols, either using their enhanced strength to shatter bone and chitin or dismembering with machine arm powered machetes.
"COMMANDER! PSI-LEVELS INCREASING RAPIDLY!"
You snap to attention and notice a glowing green light beginning to pulsate from the dense jungle.
"REACHING CRITICAL LEVELS!"
HOLY SHIT THE FUCK IS-
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!*
PLAY THIS:
A massive block size crater exists where once stood ancient rain forest. From the dust emerges a creature very much like an Ethereal, only more...feral...more...dangerous....

@Pandora's_Folly there are certain...penalties.... for these actions just like how sending Dreadnoughts drew the Tyranids' ire.

(Male voice begins speaking)"....on yet? Finally really should get the Engineers to look at this thing for a tune up. For the record I am Dr. Jameson performing Test one-oh-one of human trials with the Psionic Nullifier prototype. With me is Psi-Operative Major Allen-"
(Female voice)"Yo"
Dr. J: Who will be attempting to psionically manipulate the test subject, who is on 'loan' to X-COM from federal Death Row.
Mjr. A: Just to be sure Doc, you guys fixed the bugs this N-field thing had during the animal trials right?
DR. J: Yes, yes. It's perfectly safe I've checked it my self.
Mjr. A: Good, because hearing about the first ten Guinea pigs exploding like fuzzy hand grenades, and the next one tripling in size while growing spikes, claws fangs and getting strong enough to leave cracks in the enclosure dome was not reassuring.
DR. J: True, though the events have apparently given Dr. Vahlen some interesting idea-
Mjr. A: ....Please don't, I like being able to sleep at night.
DR. J: Yes, well if you could go down to the booth we'll get this test started. Standard setup, you perform a psionic manipulation of the subject as is. At that point we will activate the field around him to see if there are any changes in difficulty.
Mjr. A: Got it. See you in a few.
DR. J: Major Allen has reached the test subject and is now apparently manifesting psi-terror.... Based on the subject's involuntary urination and panicked moments within enclosure dome it was a success. Activation Null Field....now. (A load click and then a low hum is heard as background noise) Note: it appears that the activation of the field has prematurely lifted the effect of Psi-terror on the subject. If the effect is reproducable it might have useful applications. I am now signaling Major Allen to move on to the second stage of this experiment.
DR. J: Based on the fact that the subject is now punching himself in the face and gut, it would appear that the field is currently not sufficient to prevent psionic powers from affecting individuals inside. Test one-oh-one is now at an end. My report including Major Allen's debrief on any changes in difficulty of manifesting psionic capabilities will follow in file One dash Two B. That is all.

What exactly are we talking about with the 'Overclock and upload Counter Psychic Warfare programming'?

As in basically removing their safeties and boosting performance to HIGH levels before breaking/tearing themselves a part and giving them data on how to fight psychics (read: make them smarter even if you don't want to).

Right new vote then.
[X] Deploy the prototype Psychic Nullifier via Ludicrous High Speed Firestorm
-[X] Have the drones focus fire on the new creature in an attempt to occupy it's attention until the Nullifier arrives. Also have them spread out in case it can do something like a Rift.
@Spktr Alpha
Is the Nullifier supposed to act like a bomb here or is it more a battlefield wide persistent effect?

battlefield wide albeit temporary (the kinks still need to be worked out).
hint: Anti-Psi Materials is a good choice.

"Psychics again...." you grumble, as you switch to the lab screen, "Miss Vahlen do you have a Nullifier ready?"
"Not quite." she answered, "It is still untested but Dr. Shen has already prepared in an impromptu delivery mechanism."
"and not soon enough" he cuts in with a grimace, "an ethereal with the viciousness of a chryssalid is something that makes me shudder. This device may not even work in the heat of battle."
"We do what we can." you answer, "like we always do."
In the hangar you see pit crews frantically prepping a Firestorm for lift off, as another crew of engineers haul a long boxy device encased in a pill shaped frame.
God you hope this works.
In the meantime two different battles are taking place, the Psychic blast has split Dreadnought squad from Zhang's men who are now being cornered by the aliens. Your drones are surprisingly sturdy enough and function as meat shields for both groups but are dropping under extensive numbers.
The situation is dire.
You also happen to find that -
Bursting from out of nowhere comes a horde of green muscle bound men with sharp teeth brandishing crude guns that belched uncontrolled stream of lead interspersed with equally crude vehicles that tore through the jungle with little abandon and not even once had safety considered in their construction.

TIME FO' SMASHIN!
Who the fuck are these guys?
WHO DARES INTERFERE IN THIS SACRED BATTLEFIELD!?
Jesus that gun is fucking loud!
MOAR DAKKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you see that!?
All across the map you see signatures literally bursting out of the woodworking now engaging the aliens in brutal up close combat.
"Commander we got a message from the unknown force." reports one of the communications expert.
"Open the Feed!" you answer.
O' hay Big Boss Kommanda howz ya bin doo'n?
Everyone turns to look at you.
"Frankly I don't even know who these people are."
You were telling the truth.
What do you do?

[X] You lot go help out the squishy humans and stomp those big bugs. Bonus points to who ever takes out the big glowy psychic bug. Don't shoot humans, don't shoot the metal humans, or humans n big metal boxes.
-[X] do not fire on the big green ones. They may be allies.
-[X] Dreadnoughts try to link up with Zhang's force. If nothing else shoot the bugs.
