8th: OC/N3X, 3+, 6.5f (DD)

Confusing, short field does modest P6 players no good as consortiums will "buy" the race and the rest of us have to choose carefully. No definitive scenario to use as a premise, while unreliable Contessa and dubious R. Rodriguez add extra burden to your decision-making process. Tough call..
