The defecting CEO had realized that something was not right and enacted her escape plan with the Alphaguard special forces team. During her escape from the compound, she was killed.

Rule:

Place face down in Round Effect. Reveal after the opponent chooses their next Starting card. Change all cards on the board to Corporation (grey) during this turn. At the start of your next turn, change all Community (colors) on your side and in the neutral area back to their default color. At the end of your turn, change opponent cards back to their default color.
