We need a replacement for Nekro in our game. From their perspective, they had a deal not honored and have thus lost interest in the game, despite being in a decent scoring position relative to the rest of the board. They've said they don't want to go full spoiler, but also don't feel motivated enough to negotiate their way through the game.
They have 2 unscored secrets in hand with another possible to come once imperial pops, they are likely able to score a public objective this round while at least 2 maybe 3 other players cannot. They have politics, so they can most likely get imperial next round if they want it. They have 4 techs - grav drive, sling relay, sarween, and daxcive. Their plastic situation is probably 2nd or 3rd best. It's their turn currently and they have to decide whether to follow warfare. They have their whole drafted slice as well as 1 planet in another slice, which includes Primor.

Let me know if you want screenshots of the disagreement that led to them not feeling like they wanted to continue the game.
The vibes at the table feel pretty good to me... not a lot of conflict despite difficult objectives. But I'll let others at the table attest on that front. The pace was originally set at very fast pace and has probably been closer to decently fast pace.
