-Let's say i take some time for myself and head to the beach. Upon arrival, i see a fair lass reading Kirkengaard and strike up a conversation. Then, her meathead boyfriend comes along and looks to be trouble. I can run at this point, but i decide to let this play out. He ridicules my small, pasty-white frame and questions my lineage and choice of breeding options that my ancestors may have had. Instead of retaliating or running, i again wait. Then he draws a line in the sand: cross this line and i'll deck ya. So, i am faced with either engaging the bully or running again; or i suppose some other less-good option.

When my opponent begins a There and Back mission (TNB), at what point(s) during the TNB can i legally react? I know i can generally react to his announcement and the firing up of the shuttle's engines. But can i react once he's landed on my ship? Can i react to a crew card performing an action on my ship, thereby reacting *while* the TNB is active and the opponent crew are still on my ship? Or do i have but the one chance of announce TNB, react, then nothign?

What say ye? At what point(s) can a player react to an opponent's TNB? If it's in one of the GF's i apologize i cannot access those here at work. Any thoughts appreciated have a good day.....Lobo

In that situation, I would lay down in the sand right next to the line and continue my conversation with the fair lass. He looks dumb because he's standing there, waiting, and you look like a smug bastard.

What are you trying to react to the TNB with? I would think you could react after announcement, after the crew does something, etc., but GE often depends on the cards you are playing and in what ways before those kind of interactions are allowed.

So, you would *lie down* in front of your opponent? Yeah, that sounds like a good plan, let him bury you in the sand.

I would erase his line in the sand and draw a new one.

This *IS* covered in GF #2 I believe. But, since Galactus is redesigning the site, these are currently unavailable.

I'm emailing you a copy.

You can react to pretty much any portion of the TNB mission. Slap down a Marine while he is on your ship and kill his crew, for example.

Of course, I might point out that the boyfriend did not, in fact, draw a line, but rather a segment.
