"LEAD: ARCHISTRATEGOS
In aeons past, I dined (with Sectoids) on Boggot Globules in Zeta Reticuli. Such corpulent quantum exuberance! But now the miasmic hyperphage of Trilthiax has fallen upon the disparate worlds of the XIIX-4b extragalactic rim dimension. A missive to the 3 celestial wizards of the ancient Thyraxian council is imperative. And this very millennium, the femto-clarion did reverberate with a transmission not heard since the dawn of the last quasilinear multiverse: THE EPIMETHEAN TRIUMVIRATE IS ASCENDANT!
Beyond constellations known to man
A type III spectral asteroid
Ancient worlds where all life began
Conjured by beings from beyond the void
Quantum black distortion fields
Imperial might now doomed to fall
When gleams the eldritch mystic seal
The great filter comes for us all
Power! Now mine to claim
I shall reap this planet's grave
Within the timeless sands
Elucidation now at hand
A path of luminescent sigils guide me to the crater
What mystery of the desert lies before me?!
In the anteboreal wasteland
An onyx gate appears
Non-euclidean mystic portal
With a message from the spheres
If seek ye ancient wisdom
Cast off thy mortal shell
And traverse the forbidden gateway
Into the unknown astral realm
Thanatos! I yield to thee
The price that I must pay
For the infinite omnispatial knowledge of the cosmos
Across the threshold of the void
Between the boundless dimensions
Under the spell of night
Endless fractal recursions
Quantum convergence in sight
Ensorcelled tendrils
Entwine my dying flesh
With nano-particles
The nexus interface
Merging with my brain
From death's cold embrace
I SHALL RISE!
Forbidden equations
Reveal their truths to me
Behold omnipotence synchronised
Between the boundless dimensions
Under the spell of night
Endless fractal recursions
Quantum convergence in sight
In the depths of the Epimethean wasteland
I have ascended
Beyond this plane
I wield the secrets of the stars
