Cosmic Encounter - PBP: Deep Space Water

I invite nobody. I happen to have a 00 attack card so I'll be using that.

Those boys on planet E have been so overworked lately, I think they could use a change in scenery. One ship of them will head over to assist the Voyager.

As the Reactor ship arrives, the Voyager is now bathed in Radiation. Could they be... evolving?

HYPERSPACE GATE
Offense: 2 Allies: 1

Time for the Cards, and/or any interrupts.

Voyager plays: Attack05
Yin-yang plays: Attack00

Unless anyone intervenes, Voyager will get a colony, and then Reactor gets a colony and uses their power to give the Voyager Flare to the Voyager.

Voyager gains the Voyager flare!
A few Yin-yang ships escape into the warp, as the Reactor ship and the Voyager ships settle down.

Will the Voyagers have a second encounter?

There are so many more places to go! We can't help but continue our adventures.

[Regroup to Voyager C]

Encounter #4 proceeding...

Moving the ship from the Warp to Planet C. Caution, on further regroups you have to move them out from PlanetE...

Destiny: Blue! Looks like visiting the Yin-yang once more.

Time for Cruise ship movements! Where will the ship move to?

Well the ship's empty now so obviously we need to head back towards home, taking a brief detour through the Voyager system to catch a glimpse of the scenic Place Where A Planet Used To Be.

granola, i will repel your next encounter. i recommend you just send one ship to Planet A and invite no allies.

There's a new video in your subscription feed. One of the Reactors is just... swimming in a pool of radioactive water. When did you even subscribe to them? And why did they put this up, it looks like they're normally a food review channel.

Er, Yin-Yang could you repeat that? The warp's scrambling communications but it sounded like you said "Send 4 ships from VoyagerE to YinYangE and invite everybody"...? That's a really weird request but since we're buddies we're willing to oblige you. We'll get those ships moving and let you know when the radio starts working again.

The cruise ships moves.

The ships from the warp fly off, aimed at Yin-yangE! Voyager loses a home and a foreign colony this way.

HYPERSPACE GATE
Offense: 4
Defense: Yin-yangE(3)

Voyager invites everyone.

Who does Yin-yang invite?

I will invite everybody as well.

Order of acceptance:

1. Laser
2. Reactor
3. Tourist

Lasers will send one ship to aid the offense.

Going to default that to be taken from LaserA.

Yeah somebody from B will hop on the defense and -- oh, what's this? They're bringing their Dangerous Barrel of Radioactive Material with them? Mom always said you should never go on an interplanetary voyage without bringing at least one Dangerous Barrel of Radioactive Material.

Two ships from yin-yang C will hitch-hike with the offence on their way to yin-yang E
It's a dangerous galaxy, got to travel with friends, even if it's just next door!

HYPERSPACE GATE
Offense: 4 Allies:1,2 Total: 7

Defense: Yin-yangE(3) Allies: 1 Total: 4

Time for cards of the encounter kind, and possible interrupts.

Yeesh, this hyperspace gate is covered in leeches that want the perks of a planetary invasion without actually committing to fighting for them. How does the Yin-Yang feel about ditching these freeloaders and opting for a diplomatic resolution?

nah you already lost your chance when you sent 4 ships to attack my weakest planet. no mercy.

What's that? Something must be chewing on the antennae. We're just gonna go ahead with the plan then. You guys don't happen to have a Radio Shack we can stop by do you?

Voyager plays: Negotiate!
Yin-yang plays: 40!

Unless no interruptions happens, the following are performed:

Offense sides goes to warp
Reactor hands out the Yin-yang flare to the Yin-yang.
Voyager takes four cards as compensation from the Yin-yang's hand.
Reactor gains a reward, and then returns their ship somewhere.

The Voyager's fleet, extending a flag with "HELLO FRIENDS" written on it, is rudely hit by the world's largest nuke. Space courts are outraged, so the Yin-yangs have to pay for this crime.

Meanwhile Yin-yang is evolving! Reactor hands over the Yin-yang flare.

Reactor is entitled for one reward! Will they draw a card, or retrieve a ship?

Nobody actually knows where this extra ship came from. All we know is that a ship left planet E to go fight in space, and two ships returned to planet E. None of the crew wants to talk about it.
