Hello again Sector!

Our Cache updates are out and Spring is in full swing! The mission control board has been reset and there are some new trinkets to pick up:

* (NEW Artifact!) Cosmpiercer Purchase Anywhere (cosmpiercer_purchase): This artifact allows you to COSMPIERCER PURCHASE and COSMPIERCER TRADEIN PURCHASE from anywhere.
* (NEW Promo Item!) A diamond-shaped kite with colorful ribbons (5 tradein credits): A cross-shaped frame of thin paristeel rods support the colorful, diamond-shaped swath of cloth that makes up the main body of this airbound kite. A flexible, corded tether allows someone on the ground to manipulate the kite's movements as it soars overhead with a collection of long, vibrantly colored ribbons fluttering off its base.
* (NEW Promo Item!) A colorfully patterned cup-hat (5 tradein credits): Truly the height of convenience and bereft of any fashion thought, this cup-hat allows the wearer to take their favorite drinks on the go! Two plastic cups are mounted on either side of a wide-brimmed, colorfully patterned sun hat with a long, transparent rubber hose which serves as a loopy straw for the wearer. A tiny generator inside the cups allows for a single restock of any beverage and 'guarantees' hot beverages will stay hot, and cold ones will remain icy chilled, though its too small to offer much else.
- (Returning Promo Item) A 'stargazer special' issue of Urbane (1 tradein credits): A popular 'Zine about fashion runways, airbrushed supermodels, and cosmetic tips all inspired by the beautiful vastness of space.
- (Returning Promo Item) A cyborg botanist's crate (1 tradein credits): These lightweight aluminum crates have been brought to us by the Dikamazi Cyborg Botanists and are packed with all a home or ship cyborg botanist needs to get started, including a circuit-laden formglass planter and a packet of seeds to start your own cybernetic garden. Includes SIX TYPES OF PLANT: rambling rosala, isochronia, abio ovum 'cupcake', shroudvine, carpetmoss and the tumbler tree, all of which have some surprising cybernetic enhancements in true Bushraki style!
* (NEW Artifact!) Cache Return (cache_return): Allows you to COSMPIERCER CACHE RETURN to teleport outside an open cache after a channel. 1 hour cooldown.
* (NEW Promo Item!) An ice-cold slushice machine (15 tradein credits): The double-walled glass chamber of this slushice machine encapsulates a pillar of ice-grinding blades with patented flavor-imbueing nozzles. Six rubberized suction-feet line the shiny red-painted base of the machine to secure it on whatever surface the user deems appropriate as it churns out the sector's favorite frosty refreshment. A wide nozzle extends from the main glass chamber over an insert at center of the base for quick distribution on-demand of the deliciousness within.
- (Returning Artifact) RoamTek FastMiner 3.0 (faster_crystals): Tired of mining your Ta-Deth crystals the old-fashioned way? RoamTek is here to help. With muscle-augmentation technology patented in the harshest alien wildernesses and penal colonies, you'll mine crystals faster than a Cleax prisoner on Gorwaith IV.
- (Returning Artifact) Heartbleed (heartbleed): This internal systems augment collects some of the lifeforce seeped while bleeding into a concentrated, nanite-infused canister (that also happens to be heartshaped). At any time, you may use the liquid stored here to heal yourself or another person in the room. Use the HEARTBLEED command to interact with this system. Only stores up to maximum of half your total life. The liquid does not persist through logins, death, or between arena matches.
- (Returning Artifact) WW regeneration +25% (ww_regen_1): Increases the efficacy of WW REGENERATE ticks by 25%

That's it, that's all! We'll be back in June with more! Thanks once again to the volunteer team for all their hard work, and in particular Argus!

Regards,
The Starmourn Team
