Welcome, once again, residents of the great observatory of the many universes who, by now, are all clamoring for the chance to be my technician!!! Do not fret, my potential partners, for becoming my technician is not hard at all. To become my technician, all you must do is successfully complete the one thousand tasks I have listed here!

{Motions to the book under his feet}
