What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Note that if this check passes, it will increase Distance to 4 and trigger the Sleeper Phase.

Will it? It sounds like that only happens when we jump.

I can help a lot on this check, so let's do this.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yes, I thought so too; but page 15 of the rules states explicitly that the Distance is added immediately.

Administrative note: Destiny's play into this check has reduced the destiny deck to 6 cards. I've repleneished and reshuffled it. That in turn exhausted the Politics deck; I've reshuffled the discards.

That's weird. So we're going to hit Sleeper Phase in the middle of a jump cycle. That should be interesting.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

One crew member hasa confession to make - a confession of their seditious thoughts. I have dealt out the Mutineer card, and it has landed in the possession of The Chief. Chief draws a mutiny card, the choice of which to be determined by Citizen Zarek. Mutiny cards going out now.

Chief Tyrol draws a second loyalty card to replace the Mutineer card. Card is going out now.
