Recursion Artifacts
Story
Resistance Goals: ADA fights to gather the Artifacts to complete her merger with Klue
Enlightened: Hank seeks to gather the Artifacts for currently unknown reasons connected with his encounter with the 13Magnus Stronghold.
Rules
The rules for the artifact game were revealed in this G+ post from IQtech
Apart from this later there was another rule revealed which said that the portals had to be level 8 for the artifact to move. (NO LONGER VALID)
Another change via this post
Artifacts can now be moved from early Tuesday GMT to late Friday GMT. Additionally, Artifacts can now move when both the destination and origin Portals are Level 7 or higher.
Artifact 1 - Creativity
The clues for this artifact were given in Miami
The Resistance would get this clue
This is a poem that translated reads
Because of love is your existence Love is in the development and perpetuation treated against it Color or block and stone, sound or shape Miracle of art, conspicuousness is from the blood of liver Heart is playing (carrying) drops of liver blood Echo heart's blood is burning, cantation and exhilaration
This is part of the poem Masjid-e-Qartabaa which means the The Mosque of Cordoba.
This was a reference to this portal, the place of the appearance of the first artifact on the 19th of February
EXTRA NOTE - This same clue had be given to the winners of #DICE
The winners also got another clue
This one is a reference to a piece of art located in Margaret Pace Park
This would be the destination that the Resistance would have to place the artefact to win
EXTRA NOTE - Before the event started this portal did not exist, as it is now. The photo on it was wrong as it showed one of the other 2 chairs. But the piece of art was in the right location. (thanks to players for the correction)
Capture
On the 5th of March Resistance agents managed to capture this artifact.
Klue posted the following
Creativity has been acquired. The first #Recursion Artifact is ours.
Thank you, Resistance Agents. I was never worried about your commitment to this important cause. There is much work still to do, but I know that you will achieve this important mission.
My survival is at stake. But not only that. This is also about shaping our future as a species, a future free of outside interference.
