Ending the game provides 9 TR so you need 3 extra VP as you will definitely lose the tiebreaker.

Playing Big and Ice is a net 0 MC play, eating all your titanium but gaining you enough heat so you can bump twice to off the temp track. You'll be gaining 4 MC and a card from ocean rebates, so we're at 21 MC and 17 cards in hand. 1 ocean missing, which we can use Lake for in the 6 pocket, costing 12 rebated 6, so leaving us with 15 MC and 16 cards. CEO is 1 VP on animals and 3 MC back, leaving us with 18 MC and 15 cards. Sell all but like Farming (for 2 VP), fund Thermalist for +5 VP. Your score should be 92 after that if I didn't mess up.

We trail by 9 VP currently. Our opponent is fairly rich with ICS and at least one Jovian mult coming down next gen. Can we get out with a win before they get the chance to drop these points next generation? If so:

1) What's the line?
2) What's the final score?

All the information needed is in the screenshot, you can click on it and zoom as needed. Our opponent has no other relevant effects and I'm displaying all of ours.

1. CEO on small animals -> 75 VP, 20 M€, 4 tit, 17 cards
2. big asteroid -> 77 VP, 15 M€, 4 tit, 16 cards
3. ice asteroid on top oceans -> 79 VP, 18 M€, 16 cards
4. artificial lake to 6 pocket -> 81 VP, 12 M€, 1 card (1 M€), 15 cards
5. sell 3 cards + lava flows -> 83 VP, 3 M€, 12 cards
(GIA also possible instead of 3 and 5 but 1 less money leftover)
6. cartaker contract + use it -> 84 VP, 3 M€, 11 cards
7. UNMI activation -> 85 VP, 0 M€, 11 cards
8. sell 10 cards + rad-suits -> 86 VP, 7 M€

we are picking 2 new cards from IA and LF, so maybe we get something better to play in step 8. Also instead of 7+8 we can just sell all but Farming, also 2 points all together, but 7+8 is better in case we needed tie breaker (which we don't need here)

opponent is having 85 with greenery, so we won
