Last night right before going to sleep, I took one more look at the meta and saw a path to an answer, but wanted to wait and check something in the morning. Did that, and now I've requested beam up. With the next update, I'll find out if I'm on the ship or if the atoms of my streak are scattered across the galaxy. I thought about verifying with someone before submitting, but I reminded myself that I've said that after getting that pretty 100 week streak icon I would quit worrying about it, so solo solve it was.
There is one bit that seems a bit off, but, "I Guess That Counts"

Extra congrats to the four who solved before the amended instructions came out! Even seeing the metanism, I'm not sure I would have thought to apply it that way to get an answer.
