Cosmic Encounter - PBP: Deep Space Water

So uh, can't help but notice you're pointing a couple ships over here.
Don't suppose you've just come for a chat?

I would not be averse to a chat.

I'm also inviting the yin-yang because they just seem to get everywhere anyway, I'm sure I definitely don't need anyone else's help right now.

How will the Yin-yang decide?

there's no party like a yin-yang party because a yin-yang party is absolutely mandatory

1 from A to Reactor, 1 from E to Tourist.

HYPERSPACE GATE
Offense: 3+Allies:1
Defense: TouristE(2)+Allies:1

Time for the cardening!

The Reactor reveals a Negotiate!
The Tourist reveals an Attack04!

Looks like the Reactors crossed the hot tub's event horizon.

Unless anyone interferes, the following happens:
Tourist wins!
The Yin-yang ships on the offense and the three Reactor ships go to the warp.
The Reactor gains three cards as compensation from the Tourist.
Due to yin-yangery the Offense (Reactor) may gain a reward!
Yin-yang gains a Reward for defending.

Whoops, didn't see those flags there.

I'll take one of those ships back. To, uh, A, I guess.

Nobody interfered, so it is time for the resolvening.
The three reactors and one yin-yang fall into the pool warp, and three random cards are given to the Reactor.
Reactor cashes in the reward for a ship.

Yin-yang's turn to cash in rewards, and returning their ship.

card and ship to E pls

Hey actually before I head back home I'm gonna look at the future of warfare party tech.

[Tourist flare on Cosmic Deck]

Reactor gets to look at what is at the top of the deck, unless anyone objects.

I mean I don't object but I'm reasonably sure it should be the Reactor who gets to do that, not me ;)

He he, of course. As nobody tried to zap, he looks, and the game continues to the Encounter #10 of the Tourist (actual Tourist)

Tourist has no cards! He discards his hand (Reinforce+3) and draws 8 cards. Game continues to regroup.

Am I reading the power right or could Yin-Yang use their super to keep their losing ship from warping?

If they still have their super in their hand, they did not post that they wanted to do so.

Let's regroup a ship to C, got to maintain symmetry.
Oh and play my Wild Host flare, why not?

Ship returns!
Tourist draws three cards, and discards the Host flare (it is a nonmatching flare so reactor doesn't scoop it)

Destiny was Green(Hazard). Use it, or redraw?

I would like to redraw (although unfortunately I think the hazard still effects my poor cruise ship).

Yeah, a ship is lost from the ship, and the ship is stalled.

The new destiny is:
Special(fewest ship in warp) [other than you]
Defense determined: the Reactor!

Alliance time.

Oh uh, hello there.
No hard feelings right?

Although before we ally though, I should probably put some ships into the encounter, one from B and one from D.
And I will invite both the Yin-Yang and Voyager, assuming nothing interrupts me before we reach that phase.

Of course, lunchening, i forgot. ; -; But which planet do you aim it at?

Okay screw this, not getting invited to alliances ever is boring as hell.

I currently have an Ionic Gas card. (Which Jacquerel can confirm since he was the one who gave it to me.)

The next person who refuses to invite me to an alliance for any reason is going to get spite smited at whatever point in the future is most inconvenient for them.

Oh yeah I have to pick a target planet. How about C?

And I have nothing against Lasers, it's just that as an act of charity I'm planning on taking these two friends to join us on a sightseeing tour as consolation for having fewer colonies than everyone else.
Without convenient colonies it's harder to go abroad on holiday you know?
