I was inspired by https://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4868&p=195756#p195702 to experiment with connecting both outputs of Lx65 to HNW conduits, which gives two crossing gliders. I think the results belong here, because the process of searching for Lx65 compatible conduits in the right...

Correction: it's a stable spaceship reflector in the [R]Investigator extension, rather than in the original 2-state CA. Still interesting, because the entire device is just a single state-4 cell.
