    So, the Jol-Nar double negative means they are Sabotaging, right?

    Or Maybe they are double-not acting?!

    This means WAR!
    This does not necessarily mean war.

    Re-iterating for clarity? I think that's what we'll go with.

    Alright, whatever.

    I din't really like that Space Dock anyway.

    Professor Finsworth's "What-If Machine" showed each of us the horrifying world that awaited us if we did not issue no sabotage orders. Obviously, we were left with only one choice.

    Back to Naalu, who is still a threat where he could activate his home system to shoot down at least a cruiser and possibly the flagship too.

    Let's hope he doesn't do that to my buddies Jol and Nar!

    Round 5: Action Phase Update 5

    Universities of Jol-Nar: Pass turn.
    The Embers of Muaat: Activate The Lucky Lady system (CP 2 --> 1).
    Move in Flagship, 1 Destroyer, and 4 Fighters.
    Jol-Nar utilizes PDS Fire, destroying 4 Muaat Fighters.
    Before battle, Muaat plays Action Card "Flanking Tactic" to prevent Yin from retreating (AC 6 --> 5).
    In the space battle, Yin loses 1 Destroyer while Muaat takes no casualties; combat resolves in favor of Muaat.
    The Ghosts of Creuss: Play Action Card "Local Unrest" on Vega Major, destroying the L1z1x Space Dock there and returning the planet to neutral control (AC 3 --> 2).
    The Yin Brotherhood: Swap Resource and Influence values of Rarron.
    The Naalu Collective: Activate Naalu Home System (CP 1 --> 0).
    Naalu PDS Fire misses.
    Exhaust Druaa (3R) and Abaddon (1R) to build 1 Mechanized Unit (2R) and 4 Ground Forces (2R) on Druaa.

    I don't know the exact context of the image, but it comes from a larger panel where the centrally placed character, Kitsu Chiri, has just done a number on a bus full of people. She comes from the satirical series Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, where most of the characters have one defining quirk: in the case of Chiri, she's got a penchant for precision. Things not done properly can lead her to annoyance or even violence, the latter being on display in the image.
