That should work.

The downside is someone might have a kill script to activate when the victim
re-emerges from SD or Terra.

but if the intended victim is on or near the bottom of the attack order, he
has a chance of surviving.

Still a chance to survive is better than no chance at all.

I'll work on a non-fedsafe extern script and should have both extern scripts
done by the end of the year for testing, send to some players, and fine tune
it in time for the USO.

Non-fedsafe blues as well as reds would have to find another  option.
