This god damn 'Distant Friends' achievement

I can't with it. I've gotten every other achievement so all I'm doing is replaying the game over and over waiting for some tiny yellow light I rarely ever see, and when I do I can never get to it.
An example, and the incident that inspired this post: I was just doing a four island run and on the last island (which happened to be Pinnacle) suddenly with two turns left I saw the yellow light. I fired a shot at it and with one turn left I could just grab it, but there were so many vek attacking every single building that just wasting one mech by sending it to stand on some light would destroy the grid. I prayed that this was actually the point of the light, and that I'd walk on it and the secret squad would come down and kill all the vek, but nah. I send my last guy over there and a pod drops. And then the vek destroy the grid. And the pod.
So I guess I've just got to keep replaying. See my problem?
