Crossing the T

Draw 2, then scrap 2 cards from your hand.

Choose a crew or a base on board, or either mothership, when you deploy it. It takes the damage after the rest of the card has happened, plating first for a crew; the damage stays, and a crew or base left with no hull is destroyed at once. A mothership left with no hull loses the game. If the target has left the board by the time this resolves, nothing happens (705.7b).
