Ship Captain is given a word that they need to describe to the Air Controller (their ship’s destination through the gate)

***NOTE*** Because the screen is shared, we recommend the use of Post-It Notes or similar coverings for portions of the screen for each player. The Ship Captain should cover the upper right corner of the screen, and the Air Controller should cover the lower left corner of the screen.

There is Interference Generated through the audio from issues with the Babel Fish, and the Air Controller needs to choose the right Gate

Select Different Gate: Arrow Keys
Lock in Answer and Fire Ship: Space Bar
Request Clarification: Q

***If no option is locked in, when the ship reaches the gate, it goes through whichever destination it’s currently selecting.
