Boons

Boons are beneficial upgrades that the player can obtain after presenting certain tributes to the Judges such as exotic crew, weapons or upgraded systems. The boon given directly depends on the tribute and it will only persist for the very next run, even if it is turned down at the start. If the player dies at any point, all Boons are reset and lost. Boons can be accepted or turned down right before the Equipment Grab, where a blue option (The Hangar operators hail you.) will appear.

All of the crew-related values mentioned work as multipliers (gain 20% damage boost = 1.2x damage multiplier for example) unless specifically mentioned otherwise (like flat +15 HP)

## The hangar operators hail you

* *It seems a gift awaits you. From uncertain origins it's labeled, in strange penmanship, "A gift from the observers, on behalf of the last challenger to find us. We sincerely await meeting you. See you soon, perhaps?"*
	1. Accept the gift.
		+ Receive either Thest's Boon, Corby's Grant or Wakeson's Blessing you obtained in the previous run. Afterwards proceed to the Equipment Grab.
	2. Turn down the gift.
		+ Proceed to the Equipment Grab.
