We survived because that wasn't liquid courage in a bottle, it was liquid luck.

I have agreed with all of those points up to now- the game chamger was that it [i]moved[/i], with no direct provocation or interaction. I also take that to mean that it won't passively wait for us to figure out how to kill it.

I was fairly sure that while Mist has a broad range of fire, it still only fires the wave in one direction when activated. (Say, three sectors east, west, diahnol, etc. But not all at once.) Is this true?

^With that in mind, my thought was to provoke it to fire away from the PDF base, which would stall for a turn. It is risky and possibly unnecessary,- (We dont KNOW that Mist will independantly fire on the PDF base.) But there Iis a lot riding on that.
