MAINTAIN READINESS

You keep an eye on your surroundings, hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

Activity: You take up a sentry position, make regular patrols, and monitor your ship's scanners to watch for trouble.

Results: If this downtime activity is interrupted by combat (including Starship combat), you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to the initiative (or to the first piloting check to determine turn order, if you are serving as the captain or Pilot of a Starship) for that combat. This downtime activity doesn't provide any benefit if you or your allies intentionally seek out combat.
