Your six calls
Role on file: redacted
FiledA UFO encounter drill with ten seconds a call.
One blackout night, six decisions, a clock on each. First contact readiness is what you do when there is no time to think.
Blackout night. Six calls.
Each scene gives you three moves and ten seconds. Pause whenever you need to, and the clock also stops if you leave the app or the tab. On a keyboard, Escape pauses and a second Escape resumes.
Ready room
Six scenes. Ten seconds each. Stay useful.
A normal night breaks in one second. Read the scene, make the call, keep people safe.
Nothing starts until you press start. You can pause the clock at any time.

The drill scores what you did. The ten questions find which job you reach for first, so you know what to train.
What first contact readiness means.
Readiness is behavior, not belief. You do not have to think contact is coming to see the point: the first minute of any strange, frightening event goes to whoever is standing there, and nobody official will arrive in time to run it for them.
Untrained people tend to fail in the same few ways. They freeze, rush toward it, film it badly, talk over each other, and invent details afterward. Readiness is the opposite: fewer moves, cleaner facts, and everyone safer at the end.
The drill above puts a clock on that. Ten seconds is not long enough to reason your way to the right answer, which is the point. What you choose under a clock is what you have already practiced.
The four axes.
What readiness is made of. The drill measures three of them. The fourth is found by the ten questions.
Composure

Found by the quiz
How the report is graded.
Every run starts at calm 54, safety 52 and evidence 46. Each call moves the meters, and running out of time costs all three. The score is the average of the three meters after the sixth scene. In every scene the call that holds is worth more than either costly one, so six held calls is the only way to the top score.
| Score | Grade | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 85 to 100 | Field ready | Steady, out of reach, and the record intact. |
| 70 to 84 | Useful under strain | A few risky calls, still functional. |
| 50 to 69 | A liability under pressure | Brave in places, sloppy in others. |
| 0 to 49 | Contact compromised | Too much noise, too little distance. |

Exhibit 12 · Field photograph
Panic is not a flaw. It is an untrained reflex.
The drill exists so the first time you feel the ten-second freeze is not the time it matters.
Released in partQuestions about readiness.
What is first contact readiness?
The ability to stay calm, keep your distance, keep a clean record and do one job during a strange event, before anyone official arrives. It is a set of habits, not a belief.
How do I improve my first contact readiness?
Rehearse. Run drills like this one, learn the six steps in the First Contact Briefing, and find the role you default to so you know what to train. The habits you have practiced are the ones that show up under stress.
What does the drill score mean?
It is the average of your calm, safety and evidence meters after six scenes. It is a training score for this drill only, not a measurement of you, and it changes every time you run it.
The drill found your habits. Now find your job.
Ten questions name the role you reach for first, and you leave with a card that carries it. The drill trains the reflex; the field tools handle the night itself.
