		+	* An account from Junzt’s visit to Russia regarding an incident where an Orthodox Bishop, who collected reliquaries, mysteriously disappeared from his study one evening: "The hermit spoke of hearing a rumor that the man had been sold the original Pandora’s Box and that it had accounted for him as it had so many others since its creation in ancient times. He had wished the device for himself to summon his foul god rather than use the Aklo scripts, despite his acknowledgment that the box seldom delivered what the opener desired. When I inquired as to the fate of the bishop and the box, the hermit said the bishop had been consumed by the box and that the box had been sold to a Turk." - [[Pandora's_Box_(scenario)\|Pandora's Box]] (scenario by [[Glyn White]])
