What are Horizon Signal sacrifices?

[Monkbel]

I wonder, how many scientists and admirals and whoever else I'd need to sacrifice to get to the end of Horizon Signal event chain?

thanks!

Spoilered for those that want to find out for themselves.

You don't need to sacrifice an admiral, just an alternate future version of him/her, and nothing special happens when the real admiral dies. For the scientists, that's only in the beginning, and would be three I believe. You do get a ship back though.

There is one sidechain which can result in sacrificing an entire new colony, but you may or may not have to sacrifice it, not sure what the variables are, ethics maybe.

For what it's worth, if you don't have a leader of the appropriate type it seems happy to ask for another.
