Cipher
- "None know if our temple, the Cradle, will prove powerful enough to contain this
- evil forever. How can we Chozo hope for it to remain intact when that which it
- guards writhes in the darkness, growing always stronger? The fate of this world
- rests with the gathering of Artifacts we call Cipher, but even it is not all-powerful.
- It is strong, yes: an enchanted whole made of twelve links.
- Still, it is finite in its reach, and we who guard it are slowly succumbing.
- When our vigilance crumbles away into madness, the Cipher will be exposed and
- the fate of Tallon IV will be beyond our influence."
- "The ice covering this opening can be melted with extreme heat."
