We picked up a signal on an old frequency. It's encrypted, it's getting louder, and it sounds a lot like a hackathon. Do five quick tasks on this page (about a minute) to decrypt it. Start by knocking on the window.

Warm the engines. Then look up.

The engine only answers to a steady hand. And one star up there isn't a star.

Five fragments. One message.

Fragments land here as you find them.

Clearance: Cadet

Five quick tasks open the vault: knock on the window, tune the receiver to 5.0, peel the loose strip, hold Ignite and tap the orange star.
