Another issue is *buzz* whether Dave (or anyone else) has an
up-to-*buzz*-date gamestate, or can get one, or can regenerate it.

I think the upstanding *crackle* citizen requirement takes precedence
over the seniority rule, so you will have to regain some dimensions
before you can win.  The upstanding rule doesn't seem to be in the
preserved ruleset, so I can't be sure.  However, we do know that *buzz*
Iain won, and thus the circuit breaker is in *crackle* effect.

All of this can be dealt with in normal play. *buzz* Let's not abuse
the SOE to make sweeping changes that have nothing to do with the
current *crackle* crisis.
