Is there a good player 2 opening for Foundry that scouts and prepares for the common Foundry rushes?

Owned in a wicked flash...

That opener is really really tough to defend against. I had a match recently where I spotted it as fast as possible and thought hard on doing a good response, but while I fended off the initial onslaught I still lost in the long run. I think I could've done a few things different to have had a better chance at a win, but the key that helped was to forgo taking my own distant wit space with my soldier, giving me more wits to spend on mounting a defense to the rush.

The alternate opening soldier deployment we're due in the next patch will be most welcome, though.
