1. Hear the council's concerns and discussion.

Fear and anxiety grip everyone as the council room erupts in chaos. Everyone is shouting.

"We need to mount an attack against it and stop it before it gets here. It won't stand a chance against our full fleet if we work together."

"We've been working on technology to shield the planet with a forcefield. If we can finish it, the abomination may never get through."

"We can't risk sitting here and letting this thing destroy us all. We need to evacuate while we still have a chance. Save as many as possible!"

A voice in the crowd manages to silence the others with reason:

"All the plans have merit. However, we won't overcome this threat if we're narrowminded and approach this with only one objective. We may not stop this creature even if we had every ship in the galaxy. We stand the best chance of saving lives if we evacuate. But our shield could slow it down to help us evacuate even more. If it stops the creature entirely, then it will likely move on to consume another planet. Our fleet would still be needed."

Due to the versatility of the Karnack's crew and ship, you have a chance to help with one of the legs of the plan. But what will you focus on?

B. Evacuate the planet.
Note that for future use.

Pick pocket attempt: 4. We'll pass on this since Virtue isn't maxed.
