Another unprotected emitter with converter artifacts present! A sitting duck!

I played it both ways.
Suggest all try the quickie - then play it straight.
It is a good rousing fight.

I put on my 'staring at the map' glasses and still don't see how you both exploited this map for the
low score.  Goodness...

Land only one CN and use it to get the converter artifact. As soon as you get it, drop the converter onto the left side of the inhibitor.

Then right after, drop your freeze artifact that you were given at game start on the same spot.

Now land both fresh CNs right on top of the spot and start building a nullifier. Sit back and relax. :)

You don't actually need the converter.  Simply land all three CNs and drop the freeze at the same time right on top of the inhibitor.  Unpause the game and immediately place a nullifier where it can take out the inhibitor.  If you place it right it won't be destroyed by the frozen creeper.  There is JUST enough time to build it before it is destroyed by the unfrozen creeper.  It's also a good idea to build a collector near the nullifier for something else to be stunned by the runners.

Nice map - thanks! I didn't go the fast way, just the long way, but it was quite fun. :D
