THE List
THE List is a document which is exclusively printable by the Tracker, once per game (even with multiple trackers), using the 
Tabulatrix. It lists a number of character names - alive or dead - one of which is guaranteed to be 1 of the two original (alpha) Mush. The other names on the list are picked at random and may also contain other Mush and 
Chun (despite her 
Immunized trait).
The number of names printed on THE List begins at 8 when the first person joins a new ship. The number goes down by 1 every 8 cycles, until there's only the guaranteed alpha Mush name left. Once THE List has been printed, it is final and the number of names does not retroactively shrink. The current number of printed names is displayed on the printing button on the Tabulatrix.
Note: In general, subtract the current day from 9 to receive the current number of listed names, i.e. Day 1 - 8 names, Day 2 - 7 names, etc. This won't be exact, however, because the number ticks down on the same cycle the ship started, not the first cycle of the day.
THE List cannot be printed when there are no Mush (alpha or converted) are left on the Daedalus. This is a great way to confirm that a ship is ready to embark for Sol or Eden ...if you can trust your Tracker to tell the truth!
If you print THE List, it is advisable to keep the results secret and only share them with Chun due to her confirmed humanity. Revealing THE List to the crew may put other members at risk, as the Mush may rush to infect someone who is not on the list and less likely to gather suspicion, or convert another listed character in order to immediately accuse and murder them to shift attention from the other listed personnel.
