Jakey, the team has spoken. It’s time for you to go.

Well, well, well.

Logan, Katie, Josh.

Congratulations. You’ve made it the furthest you can go in this game, pushing yourself to the limit out here beyond the stars. You’ve done everything you can to cement your stories, and now the power shifts to the jury. These seven people, who you all had a hand in voting out, will decide which one of you deserves the title of Sole Survivor.

Your opening statements are due to me by tomorrow night, March 28th, 8PM EST. Good luck, and try to get some rest if you can.

Goodnight. <3

CAPTAIN’S LOG, DAY 31: Immunity Challenge #13

Come on in, y’all.

Well, here you are. The Final Five. It doesn’t get much closer to the end than this - except, of course, the end. But you’ve made it to the finale, so a sincere congratulations from all of us at Goddard who have been cheering you on!

(Or, you know, conspiring against you. Depends on your perspective, I guess.)

Anyway, you’ve only got a couple challenges ahead of you, so let’s not waste any more words. Welcome to your next immunity challenge.

As you all know and have undoubtedly been thinking about these last few days, one of the more important elements of this game is relationships. Your relationships with everyone are essential to your success, but especially with the jurors. If you’re going to win this game, you need to know how to appeal to the people you voted out in a way that will gain their respect. So this challenge is a little warmup for that: we’re going to test how well you’ve gotten to know the people sitting on the other side of that Space Council room.

Below, there are a few quotes which have been pulled from confessionals and PMs with these jurors. Your task is to identify who said which one. Pretty easy, right? Two things though - first, keep in mind that not everyone has the same number of quotes in this list. Some people have one quote, some people have two, maybe someone has three, who knows? One person doesn’t have any at all, and there’s a space at the end of this list for you to guess who that person is.

The second thing you need to know is that within this list is one impostor. That is, there is one quote here that isn’t from a jury member at all. So you’ll also need to identify the impostor.... and will get a bonus point if you figure out who actually said it.

You’ll get one point for each correct answer, and the person who wins will guarantee themself a spot in the final four of this game. So be careful. Think hard. And be quick about it, as I’m not giving you a full day for this challenge. You’re just writing out a list and we’ve gotta get a move on with all these tie votes that have been slowing us down. We’re coming up to the Red Line, folks - the point of no return.

The deadline for this is tonight (March 21) at 9PM EST. If you have any questions, let me know. Your list of quotes / questions to answer is below.

Which juror did not send in any confessionals this season?

Which juror said the following: "But for better or worse, I can't just kick my paranoia to the side when it's convenient. I'll just have to listen to my gut and act if something feels off."

Which juror said the following: "it looks like it's impossible for me to put the vote on [REDACTED] tonight which sucks for my game bc im going to be pissing off someone just who's it going to be??? idk bc we're less than 2 hours from tribal and no one is around!!!!!!"

Which juror said the following: "Dear Listeners, I don't like all this lying i am confused and I feel bad about it"

Which juror said the following: "And this isn't Minkowski vs. Lovelace anymore – now I'm a Cook in a world of Archuletas. Time to win this."

Which juror said the following: "Hopefully we dont swap anytime soon. Wouldn't that throw a WRENCH in the plan? Haha get it, because of the tools? I'm fucking hilarious, please clap."

Which juror said the following: "there’s this one cluster of stars i like that looks like a butt but i don’t think it’s official."

Which juror said the following: "i'm definitely doing too much and i'm going to draw attention to myself but i'm manifesting a [REDACTED] boot... im speaking it into existence and doing the work to make it happen"

Which juror said the following: "Why is it so hard to be a goat? I assumed it would be easy......."

Which juror said the following: "I am adorable, it's true, you just don't get to say that to me."

Which of the above quotes is an impostor?

Where did that quote really come from?

IMMUNITY #5: Music Video Showdown

Wow, look at those shiny new teams! So fresh and exciting :) I hope you’re all thrilled with your new crew members.

Now that you’re here, it’s time for a little team-building, don’t you think? This challenge is a simple and fun one, similar to your first challenge at the start of this game. As you know, we at Goddard encourage creativity and innovation at all times, so we’re asking you to create music videos for us which will be judged by a panel of experts.

Scoring categories include originality, effort, thematic relevance, and overall experience. You can approach this challenge however you see fit - nobody is obligated to film themselves, for instance, or even to contribute if you’d rather not. Just remember, we want to be blown away!

Any questions, just let Ari know. Since this is a more involved challenge, I’m giving you 48 hours, meaning one finished video will be due from each team at 8PM EST on March 1st. (Hey, new beginnings!)

Play nice and have fun <3 We can’t wait to see your work.

Survivors ready? GO!

CAPTAIN’S LOG, DAY 10: Announcement

Come on in, guys. 

Lovelace, get your first look at the new Minkowski team - Stevie voted out at tonight’s Space Council.

So how’s it going, everyone? How are the stars looking today? It seems pretty peaceful out there...

.

.

Wait a second. Do you see that shape out there?

.

.

Oh wow.

It’s another ship.

There’s an incoming signal from the USS Urania. Oh, you’ve heard of this one; it’s one of Goddard’s best crafts, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, adjustable infrastructure, and a VX5 engine. This is one bad boy you don’t want to mess with. 

But it doesn’t look like you have a choice, because they’re heading straight for both of your ships, right on a collision course with your teams.

It looks like it’s time to mix up the crew.

The new Minkowski team is....

Richie, Karter, Josh, and Carson.

The new Lovelace team is...

Drew, Pat, Owen, and Lydia.

.

.

.

And out of the dust, there rises a new commander...

Named after Goddard’s own Colonel Warren Kepler, this team consists of...

Katie, Renee, Jakey, and Logan.

So, welcome to your new teams. I hope everyone can settle down after that massive crash! Before we get to your next challenge, a couple of housekeeping items:

You will be added to these team chats momentarily. At that point, you will no longer be allowed to communicate with members from the other teams, as per the game rules.

Minkowski and Lovelace, you’ll keep the rooms you put on your spaceships already, meaning that the greenhouse twist is still in effect. I’ll send you that info again for new members who may have gained or lost certain privileges. Kepler, you will have twelve (12) hours to decide together which three rooms you want to include on your fancy new ship, from the list in this original post.

The star charts for your idol guesses may or may not have changed.

Other than that, have fun socializing and getting to know your crew! Your immunity challenge will be posted shortly.

#survivorhephaestus

[survivorhephaestus]

Welcome back to Space Council, Minkowski. Long time no see.

Renee: What's your biggest worry going into this vote?

Stevie: At this point in the game, have you pretty much figured out where your loyalties lie?

“I know where my loyalties lie, just not everyone else's“

Patrick: Has there been any idol talk around the ship? Any ideas about those constellations?

Josh: How space life?

“I got food poisoning 2 days ago so there’s that“

Jakey: After that blowout challenge victory by Minkowski, do you have a grudging respect for the other team or are they officially sworn enemies?

“i don't think i have any grudging respect for anyone who can score well on papa louise cause that game is TRASH!!! but they aren't officially sworn enemies for beating me in a flash game.......... yet“

Richie: What's something you know that others on this team don't?

Okay, let’s get to those votes.

.

.

If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so.

.

.

[no one stands]

.

.

Once the votes are read, the decision is final; the person voted off will be asked to leave Space Council immediately. I’ll read the votes.

.

.

First vote: Stevie. :(

.

.

Second vote: Josh.

.

.

Third vote: Stevie. I could’ve dropped my croissant!

That’s two votes Stevie, one vote Josh.

.

.

Fourth vote: Stevie. i’m sorry babe i think ur great; unfortunately, i told u the first round who was voting who and u still chose to vote for me in minority so... 

.

.

Fifth vote..... and the fourth person voted off Survivor Hephaestus:

Stevie.

Stevie, the team has spoken.

Minkowski, you’ve got your second unanimous vote under your belt. It seems like you’ve figured out how to work effectively as a team, but how long will that last? We’ll have to wait and see.

Grab your space suits and head back to the bridge. Goodnight.

Immunity #4 Results

Well, let’s not beat around the bush here. Minkowski, you chose the 15% decrease for not fighting your plant monster; Lovelace chose to have Karley fight and keep their scores.

So here’s where we’re at.

Good effort from both teams, but by a landslide, Lovelace wins immunity!

Congratulations - you’ve got another night off. Minkowski, on the other hand, has a date at Space Council tomorrow at 8pm EST.
