The Last Cargo Hold of the Polar Resupply Ship

2026NowDeadline · Within 10 days, until departure

Realistic synthesis

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

The polar resupply ship can take only one more of three items. Which should go on board: new observation equipment to seize this season's research opportunity, living supplies in case the resupply is delayed, or replacement parts to keep a long-term observation running when it would otherwise be cut off? The cost of leaving the other two behind must also be chosen at the same time.

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Load new observation equipment

    It uses a single research window but takes on the loss of living reserves and existing records.

  2. Option 2

    Load living reserves

    It leaves resources to endure a resupply delay but gives up the chance for new research and some observations.

  3. Option 3

    Load replacement for the existing equipment

    It continues the accumulated record but defers new questions and added room in daily life.

The situation as it stands

A fictional joint supply ship has space to carry only one of the three cargoes. Decision deadline: within 10 days, before the ship departs.

2026 synthetic case · Assigning the last cargo hold of a polar research supply ship. The people, organizations, figures, and events are fictional.

  1. Premise 1A fictional joint supply ship has space to carry only one of the three cargoes.
  2. Premise 2New observation equipment addresses questions possible only in this season, while living reserves prepare for a resupply delay.
  3. Premise 3If the broken equipment is not replaced, part of the existing long-term observation record is interrupted, but life on site can continue.

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1the basis and extent to which the next resupply will be delayed
  2. Unknown 2the possibility of temporarily repairing the existing equipment on site
  3. Unknown 3whether the new research window can be observed elsewhere

Signals to decide again

  • Determine what observation, person responsible, and confirmation window can establish "the basis and extent to which the next resupply will be delayed," and rejudge when new confirmation changes the tradeoffs of the options.
  • Determine what observation, person responsible, and confirmation window can establish "the possibility of temporarily repairing the existing equipment on site," and rejudge when new confirmation changes the tradeoffs of the options.
  • Determine what observation, person responsible, and confirmation window can establish "whether the new research window can be observed elsewhere," and rejudge when new confirmation changes the tradeoffs of the options.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

A site inspection turned up a clue that one part of the broken equipment can be reused.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

The cargo capacity of the scheduled next resupply shipment has decreased.
