The jinsul starship concentrates on escaping, moving as far from the PCs’ ship as possible each turn. The engineer and science officer prioritize their shields, focusing their attention on engines after that (including targeting the PCs’ engines). The ship’s computer prioritizes the pilot’s and engineer’s actions, then the gunners.

King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well, I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.

Harold Ross: “I asked Ring Lardner the other day how he writes his short stories, and he said he wrote a few widely separated words or phrases on a piece of paper and then went back and filled in the spaces.”
