10: Enlightenment Denied - October 9, 2023 (M)

Panel 1

[The Asterism is a pink sphere with three stars for eyes, floating above an enigmatic set of plinths.]

The Asterism: "Pilcrow, in the woven wefts of the wondrous, I have found the source of a cosmic signal — an emanation of eldritch enlightenment awaiting exploration!"

Panel 2

[Pilcrow comes and look, a giant eye with feathers stretching away from him.]

Pilcrow: "Could this be a pathway to hidden truths of the universe, unfathomed and unexplored? A mystery that's been echoing through the eternal silence of the abyss? We must investigate at once!"

Panel 3

[The scene shifts to The Black Manor’s peculiar living room, where Pilcrow and The Asterism, more human-like, attempt to connect to the "cosmic WiFi" with an ancient, enigmatic device.]

The Asterism: "Every pulse, a plethora of profound parables; each signal, a sonnet of the stars!"

Pilcrow: "And yet, like all grand enigmas, it demands a key—a password to part the veils of the vast void."

Panel 4

Device: "To recover password, prove you are not mortal by identifying all matrices that align with the forlorn passage to hidden Y'thill."

The Asterism: "A conundrum! Even amidst the mystique of the multiverse, the 'Forgot Password?' predicament pervades!"

Pilcrow: "Astounding, we dance amidst the eternal stars, yet are halted by digital doormen, not divine guardians."
