Round 4 deadline
For as far as I can remember, I have been on the Green Night. I used to have family here, though they told me they were not my real parents. But they died long ago. Luckily this ship is very easy to pilot. I seem to be doing everything right when I'm in here, and everything wrong when I'm outside. I want to stay on this ship forever. It will be the Green Night and I against the world.
Days, months, years have passed. I'm bored. Incredibly bored. But still would rather not go outside. Everybody is so strange outside. Countless wars, political debates, religious massacres, no matter the planet, the galaxy, the same mistakes are made everywhere over and over again. Do they never learn? Do they even want to learn? Why would I want to join them.
Last month, I found something weird in the library. Some sort of secret passage to another part of the ship where I had never been before. It has some weird instruments I do not know how to use. And there is one book, it is called ''The Ancestors''. I have tried to read it but I don't understand a thing. But I see pictures in it. Pictures that look a lot like me. Could those be in my family? I have to find out!
Sadly, I cannot do that alone. I know how to navigate the green night. But I'd get lost without a mapper. And what if i get attacked? I also need a Space Trooper on my crew. But I can't just let anyone on the Green Night. I need to find people I can trust. But how would I go around finding such people? I do not know.
What is this? An expedition? A call from the Ancestors? And adventurers making application to join crews? That's my chance! I need to build a crew and find those Ancestors. If it means I have to get out of the Green Night, then so be it. I have found my destiny. I will find those Ancestors, and they will tell me where I am from.
[Maybe add stuff here][Manuel from a weird terraformy planet, mathman from a swampy lab, and me from a, uuh... idk. Assuming we don't have to be human, me being a Tyrackon (draconic alien race) hybrid with no parents (aka, literally not born of any biological being)
For as far as I can remember, I have been on the Green Night. I now have a family here. We all come from different planets, they are not my real family, but we act like so. Together, travelling the galaxies seems like a breeze, and they bring power to me that I did not think I could have. Together, I feel like we can do everything, even when I'm outside my beloved Green Night. Who knows, when this is over, maybe I can even find myself a home. Not only for me, but for Green Night too. It's been working so hard for me all these years, it deserves a rest.
For as far as I can remember, the Green Night has been with me. And that's the way it's always going to be.

The Plan | BASIC TASK
As your ship speeds across the system, chasing the artifact, you start to think about exactly how to get it onboard the ship. You can't exactly stop nearby it, it doesn't seem to slow down at all. And most of your usual equipment for this will not work at such a high speed. And most importantly, if you slip up, you have basically given the artifact away to your rivals. You need to be creative! Write a short story about how exactly you bring the artifact onboard once you get close enough! If you saved the civilians in Round 3, they can appear in the story to help you out! This task is an Artifact Task! The team that wins this task will get the Artifact! Artifacts can give you special abilities or change future tasks!
42X, 12Y, 41Z, [aX+bY+cZ]=Artifact.
Those are my calculations so far. This seems to be the direction the artifact is taking. Sadly, I do not know the values of a b and c and therefore cannot get to the artifact even if I have a formula. So there goes that plan.
I look around. Many ships have disappeared along the way, not all the crews are still trying. In fact, I see only 3 ships still chasing after the artifact along with us : Paratus, the Battlestar Go Frak Yourself, and the Iron Manta.
We are not the most powerful. We are not the fastest. We are not the smartest. Hell we aren't even the prettiest. Our only way of actually getting this artifact is using the bond that brings us together.
*CASTS FERAL BOND*
No, not that bond, stupid narrator.
So here I am, thinking things in and out, walking around the ship, trying to come up with a plan. We have a spacetropper who can dig, a skill that is very useful in the middle of nowhere in space, obviously. We have a mapper who can make us a map towards the artifact, when it moves to a location we do not know. Also extremely useful. And then we have a deadweight who does nothing. Well, that's not true. Apparently, he brought a frog onboard from one of our trips...
As I am thinking, I hear a voice behind me.
''Sorry to disturb you kind lord.''
I turn around, and see one of the civilians we helped. ''You do not need to call me lord, Joey will do. And you aren't disturbing anything, I can't seem to find a good plan anyway. I may just be a failure at this.''
''That's exactly why I'm here, lord Joey.'' I facepalm.
'' I have talked with my people, and we owe you our lives. Which is why, we have decided to tell you the deep secret of our civilization. You see, we know Teleportation. We can teleport anything, of any Mass, but not to any location. One of us must be with the object, and the other must be at the location where the object must be transported, and act at the same time. Your ship goes to a certain speed, but if we can cannon out 1 member of my community, he can reach higher speed to get to the artifact, and teleport it back to this ship.''
''No way! I am not going to sacrifice one of you for a stupid artifact. It may give meaning to my life, but it is not worth another person's.''
''We knew you'd say that, and it's exactly why we're going to do it. We have 1 courageous man who wants to go on this expedition, don't worry, he'll find his way back, he's been through many an adventure like this one.''
''Ok, what is his name? So I can thank him personally and wish him the best?''
''Indiana Jaune''
So we now have a plan. As soon as the artifact is in range, we'll put it to action.
Will it work?
Will Indiana Jaune survive?
Do I know how to count to five?
Answers to those and more in the next episode!
(I've always wanted to say that)
Colored Vision | BASIC TASK (zyaplz) Yes
Due to its speed, you sensors seem to lose contact with the artifact sometimes, and for a few minutes at a time you cannot tell where it is. It's gonna be impossible to get to it unless you know where it is at all times! You suddenly notice the colored sphere you picked up in the ruined city. It's glowing! Before you can stop yourself, you reach towards it and pick it up. Your vision is immediately filled with an explosion of color! As the strong colors fade, your vision becomes clear. You can see the artifact in front of you, floating in space. Your clarity allows you to pinpoint its exact location relative to your ship! Using the artifact as a sensor, you guide your ship towards the artifact...
Draw an image of your vision of the artifact flying around in the solar system! The main color used must be the same as the color of the sphere you picked up in Round 2!
The color is green, in case that's forgotten.
https://i.imgur.com/1AbeHjP.png?1Fighter Ships! | BASIC TASK (Manuel?)
During the chase, your ship bumps into the other ships chasing the artifact, and it is very annoying. Actually, the fact that there are others chasing the artfifacts is very annoying. Much of your battery power and ammunition was used up in the fight against the pirates, but you have a few things left, as well as some cool things salvaged from the ruined city! You decide to build a couple of small fighter ships that you can deploy against your rivals. Build two decks.
You can use up to 2 upgraded cards in total per artifact you have won.
If you did not save the civilians, you can use a maximum of 10 creatures total in your decks.
Your decks must contain cards from exactly 4 elements.
If you do not choose to pick up some asteroids in the current Event, you can use a maximum of 1 weapon and 1 shield in your decks.
Note that the limitations applies to cards used in total, not for each deck. These decks will be used in a PvP Event! Build them carefully! (The PvP event will not award any points, however it might help you in other tasks, just like other Events)
It's not 2 quad decks it's 4 elements total, so can be 2 duos 1 trio and 1 mono etc. Can I help with this Sure. Espescially since Manuel seems afk. Technically, it could be a trio and a duo, if an element overlaps. I'm not good at this.

A Story from the Past| BASIC TASK
As you behold the emptyness of the space, you remember the ancient beliefs of your culture about how the universe was created. Write down those beliefs in detail. Using images is NOT allowed in this writing task.
If you won the artifact task in round 2, you can use it to project images from the long forgotten history of your race. You are allowed to use max 1 image in this task.
I remember when I was young. The Green Night was my home. Mother and Father, as i called them, would tell me why I can't go outside the ship unless we land.
Space as we know it has been hostile. It has been so ever since the whispers have taken control of it. A long long time ago, there was a conflict between 5 groups of people. Team Divine Light, The Cuckoo's Nest, Silver Ferns, Death Dost Dominate and Whispers In the Dark. For years and years they battled it out, but rather than fight and suffer losses, they decided to have a contest. Over a few rounds, with multiple tasks asked, and only one winner at the end. Brawl, as it was called, creates such movement in the whole universe, that it causes it to collapse and start anew. The universe you see now has not been the one existing since the beginning of time, far from it my son. But before that brawl, space was a fine place to live...
This brawl was particularly fierce. The competition was rough and the race was tight. In the end, it was won by none other than Team Divine Light, who decided : This was a fair fight, we all had fun. Let's all go to heaven as this universe is collapsing and stay together in peace for eternity. But one team was not happy with that. One team was not happy with the results. One team thought it deserved to win : Whispers In the Dark. Whispers tried to gather up some more points left in the universe as it was collapsing, and ended up in a loophole. They stayed in the universe, they stay in every universe since then. They have no home so they live in space, and take up all the oxygen just to survive. When you're alone in the night and hear a sound, you turn around, and nothing is there. You think you might have imagined it but you didn't. The whispers are here, they have never left, and they never will.
''And they
Will Never you alone
They'll always be there
Make your last prayers.''

Low on Resources... | BASIC TASK (Everybody?)
During your travel to the barren planet you overused some of your spaceship materials; the battery of your scanning device, the fuel of your engine or the ammunition of your weapons. Now, as you simultaneously scan the deep space for the artifact, flying at max speed and preparing your weapon systems for any possible threat, the shortage in your resources is beginning to show.
If you took the SCAN action in Round 1, create a card that represents low battery.
If you took the LAND action in Round 1, create a card that represents low fuel.
If you took the ATTACK action in Round 1, create a card that represents low ammunition.
How about a card that says something like : This permanent is played on your opponent's side of the field. When they spend 10 quanta, this permanent is destroyed and they are silenced.
If we think of quanta as fuel, and when they ''spend the remaining fuel'' they cannot play anymore. Problem with this : Silence already exists, having 12 silences may be a bit much. I like the idea of something happening after X quanta is spent but Silence may be drastic. What about : For every 20 quanta you spend, you lose 5 hp.
That sounds good to me, though may I negotiate a change of every 15 quanta? Got to make sure to balance the card. Imagine the enemy has 6 on their face, and they lose 30 hp, gotta be for a lot of quanta spending.
Pit Stop | Event (Everybody?)
The asteroid field you just left had some useful metals and minerals, you realize too late. They could have been used to power your weapons, or maybe to build new ones. As the artifact passes the asteroid field during the chase you are left with a choice:
Make short stop to collect some useful asteroids. This will give you 3 less voting points on your Boss task! However, the extra materials could be very useful.
Ignore the asteroids! You must focus on the artifact!
My Vote : we don't need more weapons. hmm, I guess?
