Caveats
  • The action does more than announce. The mission is over as soon as it runs, and no further action is needed to end it.
  • The trigger's own house has no bearing on which side loses. The player at this machine is the one flagged, whoever owns the trigger.
  • A pending win is cancelled whatever else happens, even where the rest of the action is passed over because a loss or a destruction was already flagged.
  • The pause a mission normally leaves before the result is carried out is skipped, so the loss is settled on that player's very next update rather than after the savour delay.
  • In a campaign game the player's input is locked and the mission-failed caption and EVA line play. In any other session the defeat caption and line play instead.
