Devil's Bargain

Life in space can make your character short-tempered, shortsighted, and callous. Crews often crash through peaceful and remote settlements like a storm, causing as much trouble as they solve.
One of the clearest examples of this is the Devil's Bargain. When a crewmate is about to make a roll, the GM or a fellow player can offer them +1d or 1 Tension cleared in exchange for a complication. For example:

• The action causes unintended harm or collateral damage
• Barter or an item is sacrificed
• A friendly NPC is betrayed or a hostile NPC is enraged
• A worrisome clock is started or ticked
• The crewmate suffers some Harm
• The ship suffers some Wear
