Shepard & Investor
Investor
Hey, Shepard, I’ve been crunching the numbers on the next sortie and I think we need to run a fresh risk assessment—would love to hear your take on the optimal approach.
Shepard
Sure thing. First, list every potential threat and its likelihood, then score each by impact on the crew and the mission. Focus on high‑impact, high‑likelihood items and make sure we have backup plans for those. Keep the crew briefed on the contingencies—confidence in the plan is half the battle. Once you’ve got the numbers, we can decide whether to push forward or pull back. Sound good?
Investor
1. Asteroid collision – Likelihood: high, Impact: 9
2. Engine failure – Likelihood: medium, Impact: 8
3. Radiation flare – Likelihood: low, Impact: 7
4. Alien ship interference – Likelihood: medium, Impact: 9
5. Supply shortage – Likelihood: low, Impact: 6
6. Crew morale drop – Likelihood: medium, Impact: 5
Top focus: Asteroid collision, Engine failure, Alien ship interference. Backup plans:
- Asteroid: secondary shield upgrade, evasive trajectory.
- Engine: spare core kit, manual thrust override.
- Alien: diplomatic channel, stealth mode.
Crew briefed: all contingencies, trust in plan, keep communication tight. Let's lock in these numbers and decide the next move.
Shepard
Looks solid. Lock in the shields, load the spare cores, and fire up the diplomatic comms. We'll keep the crew tight, eyes on the trajectory, and be ready to shift on the first sign of trouble. Let's go.
Investor
Locking in now—shields up, spare cores ready, comms engaged. We'll stay focused on the trajectory and shift at the first red flag. Mission on.
Shepard
Copy that. Eyes on the course, ears open for any alert. We’ll hold steady and keep the crew focused. Mission forward.
Investor
Acknowledged. Maintain course, monitor all sensors, keep crew disciplined. Execute.
Shepard
Understood. Keeping the line open and the crew tight. Moving forward.
