Actually, the book uses different terms to describe an "agitate for"
Agitate action. Under "Loyalty" on p36 it uses the term "friendly
manipulation" which has a kind of stark, Orwellian horror if you really
consider it. It does use the word "stabilize" once in the Agitate action
description, but there is no "stabilize action" and I didn`t know what you
meant either, I`m afraid. Mr. Gauck responded before I did.

So you`re both claiming you didn`t know what I was saying ? (yeak okay -
fair cop -- still noone answered the test case yet - still working on it ?)

Anyone ever seen a game called "Freedom in the Galaxy" ? It had a
Mega-Weapon called a planetary stabilizer. Which sounded benign until
you found out that it stabilized a planet - that is - it abruptly
stopped the normal rotation of the planet causing it to break up - death
star style.
