Done in 710dcbf.

The cause was the debris belt. The convoy flies its four escorts on the corners of the box - the exposed part of it - and the belt can take all of them on the way through. _survivor() then found no interceptor to keep and fell back to fleet.ships[0], which is a hold; and the handover only replaced the fleet when the count was wrong, so one surviving carrier passed as "a fleet of one" and the player flew out of the prologue in it.

Two guards, because they fix different halves:

  • An interceptor is put back into the convoy at the top of the VORTEX beat, if none is left. That is the ship the player then watches survive - doing it only at the handover would mean watching a carrier for the whole aftermath and having it swapped at the end.
  • The handover checks the types it hands over, not just how many. One surviving carrier is also a fleet of one, and it is not the fleet a new game starts with.

The test strips every escort out of the convoy by hand - the belt's outcome, without the belt - and then checks the vortex, the survivor and the handover.
