Well here's the return portal. The sheer size of the continuous synthesis is kind of awkward though, so I'll post it in its own RLE.

Making all these guns burns through raw materials so fast! As such, I've decided to move the two orange blocks out of the way so that we can reuse the orange gliders if needed, and I've even found some new raw materials including a phoenix!

This and the (7,1)c/8 look so...different from other relativistic oblique spaceships. What was the search methodology used to find it?

Holy hell. I've learned with CA that if it isn't obviously impossible, then it's almost definitely possible. The fact that this impossibility proof exists at all shocks me.

Green gun is up! Some glider rerouting, and hopefully this will be the last of the mist objects.

Almost there! We fix the cyan gun and destroy everything except for the loaf...but the only safe angle of attack for the loaf will require everything else to be removed first.

I have been using Golly for I believe over a decade now, and it is only today that I learned that you can press F2 through F7 to draw/pick color/select/move/zoom in/zoom out. In the past, I would just spam "c" until it cycled to the right tool, or click the button. :skull:

I tried running c6k-2 searches off of Sir Sprayer's giant spark, hoping for a tagalong. These were a combination of WAO at a given depth to force a change from Sir Sprayer and also this forbid_grid to discourage being disconnected from the spark:

I think that that gives another 7 cell form for acorn:
