So, i captured the doctor X in a rather obscure way (graveityball mission) because I expected a super complicated mission to capture her, but what is done is done. What do I do with her now? There are 5 options, and I have no idea what to choose.
Short answer: do whatever you want, none of the choices is very essential for playing and winning the game.
Medium sized answer: Trick her and make her as Knight. Looks like this path currently is the most developed one.
Long answer: Read this

90% of frustration comes from misleading briefing text.
... but I did add something about reinforcements.
Thanks for that extremely vague text: "Merc reinforcements are in hot pursuit after the main group". Better than nothing, I guess.
But what about other issues? Number one problem is the title: "Mars: The
Final Assault" , that was taken directly from the base game, where this really was The Final.
Next, "and now he is locked up in his bunker like a spider in a jar!". Such confidence! As if you already can see this bunker.
"Nevermind, Cap'n! Victory or death!" -- another false clue, that this is THE FINAL.
I very, very strongly recommend you to add "serach for exit tiles" into the briefing text. This stage is hard enough even without additional tricking of the player.
