Whatever you do, do not open the codex.
You will feel like something dark and mystical is pulling you to flick open the delicate pages, but it's just a trick.
Don't you understand, it wants you to open it.
You must resist its dark song, you must not, under any circumstances give in.
For if you do, we are as good as dead.
"to the moon, and never back."
