The game alternates between Player Phases and Enemy Phases. In each Enemy Phase, the following things happen, in this order:
1. If the Elder One Arises effect is triggered, that happens first.
2. If the Elder One is in play, it activates next.
3. If there are any Storms on the Game Board, roll the Fate Die for each Storm to determine how it moves. On 0-4, the Storm moves one step towards the player with the First Player token; on 5-9, the Storm moves one step in any direction the players choose.
4. On Deck enemies activate. If there are multiple such enemies, the players choose the order in which they activate, except that when one enemy on a player's ship has activated, the other enemies on that player's ship must activate before activating enemies on other ships.
5. Enemy ship activation. Activate each enemy ship once. If there are multiple enemy ships in play, the players choose the order in which they activate.
6. Advance the Enemy Agenda two steps, plus one more step for each player. If the Enemy Agenda advances beyond the end of its track, it wraps around to the first position, and causes the Enemy Discovery token to advance on the Discovery Track.
7. Pass the First Player token clockwise.
Then, the next Player Phase begins.
