Post 1.0.2.3 patch, a random selection of players are taken into the future/past in the final fight with Atheon. Getting the Relic picked-up quickly is pretty important, so how about this:

• Assign everyone call-signs from Alpha to Foxtrot based on their proficiency/preference for holding the Relic.
  • Alpha - Best with the Relic, will always take it if they are teleported
    
  • Bravo, Charlie, Delta - can take the Relic if necessary, in order of preference
    
  • Echo, Foxtrot - will never take the Relic, unless everyone else is dead
• When the teleport happens, those that got teleported say their own call-sign over voice-comm.
  • Only Alpha, Bravo & Charlie will say their call-sign
    
  • Delta, Echo and Foxtrot will stay silent until the Relic holder is established to reduce radio noise.
• Whoever has the highest priority (closest to Alpha) takes the Relic after the call-out.
  
  • Alpha will always go straight for the Relic regardless.
    
  • Bravo is listening only for Alpha's call out - otherwise they assume they're it
    
  • Charlie listens for any callsigns being said besides their own. If they hear one, they're not it. If they're the only one talking, they grab the Relic.
    
  • Delta listens for any call-sign. If they hear one, they're not it. If they don't hear any, they grab the Relic.
    
  • Echo and Foxtrot ignore the Relic and start killing - assuming one of the top 4 are there.

Even when said close together, and overlapping, I think it should be possible to distinguish who is the highest priority. Players will also have the benefit of the sound of people's voice over modern game chat.

If the selection is now truly random (and I worked this out right) then when selecting 3 players from a pool of 6, there is:

• 50% chance for Alpha being Relic Holder
  
• 30% chance for Bravo,
  
• 15% chance of Charlie,
  
• 5% chance for Delta,
  
• 0% chance for Echo,
  
• 0% chance for Foxtrot.

It should totally be possible to get a string of teleports that all include Alpha. So that simplifies the Relic Holding part. Everyone else just needs to be more flexible about whether they're killing Supplicants or Oracles.

Any feedback? I'm far from an expert on this stuff.
