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.
