"The work on fortifying the outer perimeter is almost complete. We are now well protected against surprise raids, and no wandering demon will ever disturb us again. Unfortunately, Master Hundred-Face tasked me with routine checks to keep the mechanisms in working condition. And I hate leaving the Device maintenance area! These damned gates are driving me insane, I can never remember the right access code! Why couldn't they just stick to numbers? They just had to use this geometric Numerian nonsense! I keep forgetting the sequence does not end with a 'cycle,' it ends with a 'base.' The symbols are basically the same, the 'cycle' is a circle, the 'base' is a circle with a dot. But I keep mixing them up, and I just end up standing in front of the gates like an idiot. So I'll just write it on this and keep reading it over and over, every day, until I get it. The third symbol in the code is a 'base,' a circle with a dot. Not a 'cycle!'"
