Yo-Yo won't rat you out if you can help him find some batteries!
Details
Quest: Battery Burden
You seem to have taken a wrong turn on your way back from your latest trip, and found yourself in the cargo bay of the port. You quickly spot a green Xero working on one of the ships, and approach him to ask for directions.
“Oh, what? I don’t really think you’re supposed to be here, but that’s not my problem. But hey, while you’re here - someone took the batteries out of my walkie-talkie and hid the box of extras. Do you think you could bring me some? I’ll share my snacks with you.”
Before you can even respond, he turns back to his work. Guess your only option is to look for batteries… or the exit.

Greenhouse Gifts
Draw or write about your Xero with a new trait and the fruit it comes from.
Details
Greenhouse gifts
Due to genetic engineering, Xeros can display a wide range of different mutations. They can even change these mutations at will: by eating tailor-made plants from the ARC Greenhouse, they are able to trigger their unique physiology to change in a controlled manner. This allows certain new traits to appear on any Xero. Does your Xero wish they could change any of their current mutations? Maybe they think they would look cooler with horns, or maybe they wish they had a prehensile tail to use like an extra hand! Any answer is valid, but what does your Xero think?

Finder's Keepers
Draw your Xero in the provided V-Pet base!
Details
As you pass by the Jackpot Planet, lost in thought about what to buy with your next Orbit, you notice a small brown backpack tossed in front of it. In fact - this isn’t the first time you’ve noticed that backpack, it’s been there for weeks. Curious about it, you reach down to pick it up, maybe a peek inside will reveal who it belongs to - or maybe finder’s keepers? As you pick it up you find a brand new V-Pet underneath, what awesome luck! I'd hate to be the fella who lost this...
Information
Draw your Xero on our V-Pet Template! You can do a full body, a bust, pixel art, a tiny scene... have fun with it and get creative! You may color the V-Pet Base "shell" any colors you wish!
★ Don't have your own Xero yet? You can draw Ziggy or Luca, our mascots! You can read all about them on their profiles. You may also ask permission to use another member's Xero in our Discord. However, if you do already own a Xero, you must use your own Xero and may not use mascots or another user's Xero.
