+  \subsection{Stress Level}
+  Your stress level starts at zero and increases during play:
+  \begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
+    \item You \textbf{push} a skill roll.
+    \item You or a nearby PC suffers certain stress/panic responses.
+    \item A nearby NPC panics.
+    \item You fire a 2nd or 3rd burst of full auto fire.
+    \item You become fatigued.
+    \item A crew member attacks you.
+    \item Someone nearby is revealed to be an android.
+    \item Any unnerving encounter (GM discretion).
+  \end{itemize}
+
+  \subsection{Panic Roll}
+  Make a panic roll when:
+  \begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
+    \item You witness a PC become \textbf{broken}.
+    \item You see a Xenomorph \textbf{for the first time}.
+    \item A Xenomorph comes within \textbf{Adjacent range}.
+    \item You witness a PC suffer certain \textbf{panic responses}.
+    \item A \textbf{truly horrifying event} occurs (GM discretion).
+  \end{itemize}
+
+  \textbf{Roll:} D6 + Stress Level -- Resolve. Consult the table on the right.
+
+  \subsubsection{More Panic}
+  If you're already suffering a panic response and must make another panic roll, you suffer \textbf{both responses} if possible. If incompatible, the higher result takes precedence. Same result = use next higher response.
+
+  \vspace{10pt}
+  \subsection{Stopping Panic}
+  Ongoing panic responses end when:
+  \begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
+    \item Another character in speaking range makes a \textbf{COMMAND roll} (full action in combat).
+    \item You become \textbf{broken}.
+    \item \textbf{One stretch} passes.
+  \end{itemize}
+
+  \vspace{10pt}
+  \subsection{Relieving Stress}
+  For every \textbf{stretch} spent resting in a \textbf{safe area}:
+  \begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
+    \item Stress level \textbf{--1}.
+    \item Remove one \textbf{stress response} of your choice.
+  \end{itemize}
+  You cannot make skill rolls while resting.
