Description

Another holographic inscription appears on a Glittercity wall. Eight glyphs glow in neon — a different script this time, angular and aggressive.

Solution

Steps

1. Identify the writing system

The 8 glyphs on the wall belong to Klingon pIqaD — the fictional script from Star Trek used to write the Klingon language. Each glyph maps to a Latin letter.

2. Decode the glyphs

Reading the 8 pIqaD characters left to right and mapping each to its Latin equivalent:

B O L D L Y G O

3. Recognize the reference

“BOLDLY GO” is a direct reference to the iconic Star Trek phrase “to boldly go where no one has gone before” from the opening monologue of the series.

4. Read the flag

The decoded inscription is the flag itself.
