"*Oh god, it's the quid pro crow - here with another deal.*"
― Laurie
## Notable moments

* No first rules or intro this time.
* We're straight into Tom's turn - he's moving around and avoiding the aliens. If Tom helps jettison the queen, she'll be pristine, but more importantly so will Adam's respect for him.
* Laurie's claiming we're going to Earth but Sullivan's such a liability he doesn't want him anywhere need the control panel to check. Nobody's trusting Laurie, though, and his repeated locking of doors isn't helping.
* Adam: "I don't trust that little ginger fuck, you know.... Laurie might not have selfish objectives, but Laurie has a mischievous streak."
* The Captain's now high as well as drunk. Which is not better. He's thinking of starting a vendetta with Tom. Tom's specifically told him not to worry about repercussions, it doesn't seem to have steadied his nerves at all.
* Sullivan's Adam impression is terrible.
* Tom's going to shoot the baby. It's hard to not hit it - as is true with all babies.
* Isaac's carrying the alien young - that will at least make them more friendly to him. Let's not think of the horrifying implications of that.
* Sullivan's acting selfishly, but not out of malice. He hoped to appeal to Tom's kind spirit - a radical misreading of the room.
* When the game is nice we don't trust it - there are trickle-down fuckanomics at play. Sullivan automatically gets off scott-free, the jammy little fuck.
* Isaac is infected, Tom is a little too pleased about that. Sullivan's not. Tom is little too displeased with *that*. No come-uppance for Tom though.
* The ScienceBro alliance may be fracturing.
* Isaac is a terrible soldier. Are any of our crew good at their jobs?
* We're wandering, we're making noise, we're attracting aliens, we're shooting them. There's a lot going on, none of it relaxing.
* Lots of people with lots of wounds now, and half the group have some contamination. We're still heading for Earth though. And Tom's still being cagey - he's got rid of all that unnecessary blood.
* Laurie kills an alien with a one shot. Noice. Isaac misses again.
* Adam when Sullivan concedes he's a bit shit: "Sully, that's stunning self-awareness at this late stage in the game."
* Singalonga NRB: "Let's all check the engines." "Let's do the magic bag of very fun things."
* Don't tell the dice what result you need to avoid, for the love of heaven.
* Plans are definitely falling apart now.
* Tom: "Everything's coming up ... science-house?" He's built himself a very *big* computer.
* Sullivan and Isaac are a pair of cretins - we have a captain who is high and drunk and forgot his objective, and a soldier with no bullets who can't hit anything anyway. Plus he's pregnant with alien spawn. But that's easily cleared up.
* Tom's juggling 3 things and one of them is an egg - which is he going to drop?
* Now everyone's heading for the hibernatorium. We seem to be co-operating again now, for as long as that lasts this time.
* Adam's contemplating just getting his friends - and Laurie - to safety at this point.
* Sullivan's going for historical glory - everyone except Adam thinks this is a great idea. The smart thing to do is to leave, but the cool thing to do is shoot. He's choosing ballads. Whoopsie.
* Adam's carrying a family of aliens now. Riddled, he is.
* Sullivan's doing something captain-like.
* Adam's dead. Oh, no he's not.
* Tom's dead. Oh, yes he is.
* Should Sullivan take the egg home? Laurie's furious, but it's what Tom would have wanted.
* A few moments of silence and introspection for the dearly departed Tom.
* Sullivan does a beautiful eulogy and blows a hand trumpet.
* We're all agreed - no more space missions.
