Spoiler note: First chapter where Thomas can be permanently lost.
Step-by-step path
- STEP 1Med-bay triage
Pick the patient order Naomi → Riley → Akin to keep all three trust scores positive.
- STEP 2Thomas confession
If Brianna ↔ Thomas ≥ +2 a unique cut-scene unlocks; otherwise the scene plays cold.
- STEP 3Power surge
Three-stage QTE; failing stage 2 kills Thomas.
- STEP 4Mutiny seed
Optional: stand with Akin or with the crew. This locks the Episode 7 mutiny vote.
