Cosmic Encounter - PBP: Deep Space Water

to Yin-Yang E

Regrouped, and then destiny is drawn...... RED.

First, time for cruiseshipping.

Hey Gatr, since I decided to politely ignore those raspberries last turn instead of using my Quash card to screw you out of a free planet, I think it's only fair that you invite me to join you in attacking again rather than trying to negotiate with that other Laser and forcing me to use it this time.

Did we really only get as far as orange before all hands were lost to space hazards?
Well, back to green I guess, and let's load three hapless passengers from B, C, and D.
I hope they booked holiday insurance.

The tourists are loadin' up nicely.

Time for Yin-yang to Launch.

Launch, uhh. 2 from Yin-Yang A, 1 from Yin-Yang B, 1 from Yin-Yang C, towards Reactor A.

HYPERSPACE GATE
Offense:4
Defense:ReactorA(4)

Invite-time

i will invite only the Laser.

Who shall the Reactor invite?

Everybody come join my good times party of pretesting peace with my leftover fireworks launchers

Protecting rather. You understand. I don't protest peace. Except maybe enemy peace idk

Order of acceptance:

1. Laser (any side)
2. Tourist (defense)
3. Voyager (defense)

Lasers send 4 ships to join the Yin-Yang from planets A, B, C, and D.

The Tourists are happy to send emissaries from A and E.
It may only be two ships but it's basically all we can spare and we wouldn't want to miss a peace protest.

I will send no one I think.

Food for thought, the Tourist is operating under extremely limited mobility right now, if the Reactor were to lose this fight, the Tourist would be unable to join in any encounters until their next turn.

HYPERSPACE GATE
Offense:4 + Ally: 4 = 8
Defense:ReactorA(4) + Ally: 2 = 6

It is time for PLANNING

WHIRLIGIG FLARE ACTIVATED by the Reactor.

Wild: As a main player, during the planning phase, you may take one card at random from your opponent's hand and mix it with any one card from your own hand. Your opponent chooses which card to take back.
(Main Player Only) (Planning)

as both card zaps are gone i dont have to wait

Yoinking a card at random from the hand of the Yinyang.... adds a card... Yinyang picks a random card.

You may now continue.

Yin-yang reveals: 30!
Reactor reveals: 08!

Anyone to declare anything?

The tourists are very impressed by this completely unnecessary display of force but otherwise don't do anything.

okay okay so it turns out

those like, super deadly fireworks launchers from before? Those were actually assault weapons. These ones are the fireworks launchers I was looking for. It's an easy mistake to make, we can all agree.

Boom! Kapow! Zoop! The offense takes over the ReactorA....

Encounter #15 passes to the Laser!

Nice nice. We'll regroup to Laser D.

Let it be known that if you invite me on your next conquest, assuming it's not me, that I have a plan for victory that involves you.

like i suppose i shouldn't be saying out loud that i plan for us to win but like whatever if it's gonna get stopped it's gonna get stopped regardless of whether i say it out loud or not

Regrouping is performed

Destiny is drawn: Blue(hazard)

As nobody is stopping it, another ship is lost from the Tourist Cruise ship...

Launch time.
