CRISIS ROOM

One order a round, tapped from the list. Get a call wrong and the crisis spreads — a front that falls to 25 or below starts doing damage on its own, every round, until you pull it back.

• SYSTEM BREACHSTANDARD

  Overnight, attackers encrypted core systems and may have taken customer data. Nobody yet knows how much. The board is on a call.

• FATALITY ON SITEHARD

  06:40 · northern facility

  A contractor has died overnight. The chair has convened the board within two hours. Facts are thin and the site is still running.

• THE SHORT REPORTSTANDARD

  The Meridian Aurora, a vehicle carrier operated by your subsidiary, has taken a severe list in heavy weather overnight. Twenty-three crew are in the water or in lifeboats. The vessel is afloat, listing hard, and drifting. Nobody has yet mentioned that this is the second time.

• THE RECALLHARD
