Round 3

Crisis Step

Persistent Effects:  Barren Crater reduces temperature 1 step and flips 1 ocean.  Emergency Shelters reduce temperature and oxygen 1 step each.
Catestrophic Erosion is drawn.  Burstar draws Construction.  Magna, Inc. draws Development.  Interplanetary Cinematics draws Action.  Those corporations may not play those phase cards this round.  Three crisis markers are placed on Catestrophic Erosion.  They are removed by playing a green card.
The Dummy phase is Production.

Phase Selection

Burstar selects Development.

Interplanetary Cinematics spends 10MC for a Strip Mine, gaining 2 steel capability and 1 titanium capability, reducing its TR to 6, and removing a crisis marker each from Emergency Shelters and Catestrophic Erosion.

Emergency Shelters and Catestrophic Erosion are discarded.

Construction

Burstar spends 4MC for Power Infrastructure, removing a crisis marker from Barren Crater.
Magna, Inc. spends 11MC for Nitrite Reducing Bacteria, gaining 3 microbes on the card, discarding a crisis marker from Barren Crater, and gaining 2MC, then draws a card.
Interplanetary Cinematics passes.

Barren Crater is discarded.

Research

Burstar draws 2 cards and keeps 1.
Magna, Inc. draws 2 cards and keeps 1, then discards a card for 3MC.
Interplanetary Cinematics draws 5 cards and keeps 2.

Round 4

Crisis Step

Persistent Effects:  None.
Atmosphere Rupture is drawn.  Burstar loses 1 TR.  Magna, Inc. loses 1 TR.  Interplanetary Cinematics loses 1 TR.  Two crisis markers are placed on Atmosphere Rupture.  They are removed by playing a card with a space tag.
Dummy phase is Construction.

Phase Selection

Burstar selects Production.
Magna, Inc. selects Research.
Interplanetary Cinematics selects Development.

Development

Burstar passes.
