All civilians encountered during a mission will be of the same type (though this can be changed in ''OpenXcom''). You will not be able to find men and women together in the same locale. All civilians are unarmed and have the same stats. We don't know where they parked their cars or why only the members of the opposite sex sought fit to flee by themselves.
