Redirecting an Unstoppable Force? 🤓☝ Well actual-💥🤛🤛🤛
The plate on the module is inscribed with coordinates representing Voided cells.
See Shared Appendix V O I D for more information.
Appendix MESAGOZA represents a city and its surroundings. An Unstoppable Force is on a trajectory to meet the Immovable Object found in the city’s museum.
Upon collision, the universe will locally get destroyed and rebooted to 3,400 B.C. due to laws of physics.
There will be no survivors.
Redirect Stations already have been scattered around the city to prevent such severe events, but the electromagnetic field of the Unstoppable Force is making them act up and has randomized their Redirect Directions!
Your mission is to determine if the city is in danger or not.
Using Edgework, create your Redirection String:
- Start by all Serial Number digits (modulo* 4), in order.
- Then the number of Batteries (modulo* 4).
- Then the number of Indicators (modulo* 4).
- Then the number of Ports (modulo* 4).
*To get a modulo 4, repeatedly subtract or add until the value is in the range [0;3].
Repeat the Redirection String indefinitely. Go through Appendix MESAGOZA in reading order and assign to each Redirection Station a Redirect Direction.
Redirection Stations on Voided Cells are skipped as they don’t exist.
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up | Down | Left | Right |
Redirection Stations will redirect the Unstoppable Force to move in their associated Redirect Direction.
However, they cannot make the Unstoppable Force do a u-turn, as it requires too much energy. In that case, the Unstoppable Force will just phase through them.
If the Unstoppable Force meets the Unmovable Object along its path, press the “EVACUATE” button. Otherwise, press the “SAFE” button.
Pressing the wrong button will result in a Strike.
The Unstoppable Force leaving Appendix MESAGOZA or being stuck in an infinite loop both count as “SAFE”.
