The way the actions were balanced within the Event maybe was a mistake. However, keep in mind that your decision may has affected your team's lore or your team's future tasks.
The Attack action was meant to be an irrational yet powerful choice... Keep in mind that IF a single team had taken the Attack action (according to my experience, not all people are rational, especially brawlers
) the Scan action would had been the best option and we would had a totally different discussion right now...
The Event worked as intended but still, I apologize for any inconvenience...
