- | In part thanks to your brilliant work with the lightbulbs and JPL, the Artemis 13 Spacecraft was able to have a successful launch. While on the way to the moon, disaster strikes. Among other things, the air filtration system seems to be malfunctioning. Team leader Melissa Lewis decides Artemis 13 needs to go home ASAP. Just as she gives the order to rotate boosters in order to send the ship home, the crew feels the spacecraft rock violently and warning lights start going off everywhere. The command ship starts to lose all of its power (maybe it had something to do with not being able to get the special tape from the STICKYSTUFF corporation at Lakeview).

+ | The new intern, Solomon Tobb, proposes a risky but possibly brilliant solution: to dump the hawkion beam into an absorber rather than slowing the particles down gradually. | ||

+ | From the accelerator schematics you find the following resistances for different components that need to be powered in order to dump the beam safely: | ||
