• Set ship to Battle Stations if not already set
• Shields Up!!! Order Weapons to activate forward shields immediately
• Order Weapons to destroy large debris that is too close to evade
• Order Pilot to take evasive action and bring Musketeer to a full stop
• Order Comms to silence the ship-wide alarm once the crew has heard the emergency cue
• Monitor crew response and keep the ship coordinated through the emergency

• shooting-meteors.png should show the ship in an asteroid field with shields on and debris being cleared by weapons fire.
• If the ship is already at Battle Stations from the high-G retardation sequence, this is a confirmation rather than a new state change.
• MGC/Unity owns the authored ship-full-stop condition for ending this immediate evasive phase.

• Atlas's welcome message does not match Earth Planetary Defense orders
• Reply directly to the Atlas hail with Musketeer's mission orders and intent
• Discuss with Comms, Recon and other crew

• Captain is acting from Earth Planetary Defense orders; live CommsIntel analysis becomes urgent after Atlas reacts with threats.

CaptainWhisperer

• Try to make sense of Atlas communication
• Atlas response conflicts with Earth Planetary Defense orders and visible damage. Get evidence.
• For now, just acknowledge the message, do not reply or you may make things worse
• Order Comms-Intel and Recon to gather more information on the Atlas fleet to see if it matches Atlas messages
• Order Scientist to assist in the analysis and reasoning

• Use the Intelligence Analysis interface to analyze the current state of Atlas and escorts.
• Recon is tagging and collecting images and data for the Intelligence Analysis interface
• Use the Intelligence Analysis to make a plan to get warhead from Atlas and complete the mission

• Penetrating-radar results should not magically become a finished route map.
• Atlas damage prevents it from naming the Cartel explicitly.
• The tone should feel unstable, grandiose, and messianic rather than coolly tactical.

ReconWhisperer

• Focus on the Atlas using the periscope
• Scan Atlas from standoff distance
• Tag the Atlas and surviving escorts
• Take pictures using thermal, energy signature, visible, and radiation sensing
• Take pictures with penetrating radar where possible to trace interior continuity and likely rover routes
• When you are done tagging and taking pictures, assist Comms-Intel with analysis

• Recon tagging should create object identifiers that MGC can route into Comms-Intel Tag, Science analysis, and the Captain shared analysis surface.
• Mocked-up Atlas images are needed for Comms-Intel analysis.

• Identify what kind of damage disabled Atlas
• Evaluate whether any docking approach remains survivable once Atlas damage and escort threat are considered
• Flag any evidence that Atlas was disabled by weapons fire rather than accident
• Report clearly whether Atlas's mission claims are technically plausible

• Science analysis should surface why the crew knows Atlas propulsion is dead and why the damage pattern points to weapons fire.
• Ship AI should estimate that docking success is approximately 0.1% once the damaged primary dock, exposed fallback dock, and escort threat are combined.
