Hey you're all welcome, the more the merrier.

y'know it's hard to spread goodwill and dangerous experimental radioactive devices when i'm constantly busy being the star of the show


but i mean i'll be the life of the party if i need to, who wants in

Send 2 from E to aid the Tourists.

Both parties have invited everyone.

They both intend to party

We will be able to visit both.

And party our boo-tays off.

We will use our power and send 2 ships from B to aid the Tourist and 2 ships from D to aid the Reactor.

...What did you just say?

Just something we picked up elsewhere.

The Tourists seem much friendlier to us than the Reactors, and we will send 2 ships to aid them in their planetary liberation party.

Ships arrive to the par-tay!

It is time to select your party equipment such as the "punch".

Send me your cards, or yell in thread if you want to play any kind of interruptions.

Party mode unlocked!

Anyone wishes to reinforce or do a thing?

...

i swear they told us they were fireworks launchers

Such an impressive display! Shame that our viewing angle's a little wide.

The tourists divert power from shielding to communications and blast this video on all channels as they sail helplessly into the "fireworks display".

(I got nothing)

A spectacular fireworks of green, blue, orange and purple! You can barely see the escape pods heading into the warp from it.

Reactor doesn't active, because they were a main player.

REWARD TIME

1. Tourist gains two rewards, due to the Yin-yang's power of balance!
2. Yin-yang gains two rewards, due to sending two ships to help. Also please return your current ships to your colonies.

As rewards, I would like to return two ships from the warp to A and E, the expeditionary party force miraculously surviving the space battle and heading home after getting some good selfies of themselves backed by cosmic torpedo explosions.
They were just visiting the battle zone after all, not fighting, they're tourists!

I'll draw one card and return one ship from the warp to Planet D. Then the winning ships go to Planet B.

Ships return and a card is drawn.

Encounter #3 begins now. Next up: Voyager.
You may use your power of JOURNEY.

NOTE: if anyone happens to have ships on the Voyager's warp world and also other ships in the warp, during regroup please state which one you are taking ships from.

The inhabitants of E have spent a lifetime preparing their planet for its pilgrimage. Now that the path's been scouted, they embark on their historic journey into the warp.

[Journey Planet E. If nothing stops me, queue my Regroup Retrieval to Planet E as well.]

VoyagerE voyages into the warp! On of the lost ships in the warp detects a friendly signal, and lands on the planet as per the regroup phase.
Time for DESTINY. You drew Special(most cards in hand other than you). You will encounter the Yin-yang.

Unless I'm getting the order of players or events wrong, I'd like to move the cruise liner from purple to blue and then disembark to C.
This place seems chill enough to hang for a little while.

You are getting it correctly, sorry.

Unless anyone has Interjections (either at Moving or at Disembarking), the ships on the cruise liner will disembark.

I am glad that system is super symmetric.

The tourists pile on to the planet unopposed! A terrifying fate.

Now Voyager may launch.

Yin-Yang, what could I offer you in exchange for throwing this fight? Negotiation's not an option for me, but I'd prefer this be an amicable encounter between our species. (Also would you rather I aim for C or D?)

For us throwing this fight, you mean? We'd only want one of your planets in return at some point in the future, as well as a guaranteed Yin-Yang token given to you or another player of your choice (you'd have to convince them to not invite me). You can have Planet D.

Sounds agreeable to me, just let me know what card you're playing.

Voyager sends 2 ships from Voyager E at Yin-Yang D.

Queuing up an invitation to Reactor during Alliance Phase.

HYPERSPACE GATE
Offense: 2
Defense: Yin-yangD(3)

The Voyager invites the Reactor!

Who does the Yin-yang invite?
