An illustration of a young man wearing a pink "Hail Eris" T-shirt standing on stone stairs, holding a book, and pointing accusingly at a suspiciously familiar older, robed man standing at the top of the steps in front of an Illuminati pyramid. The young man shouts, "HEY, WAIT A MINUTE! YOU TRICKED ME!!! THEY'RE NOT THE CONSPIRACY.... YOU ARE!!!" The older man, smiling, replies, "NOT TO WORRY, MY CHILD.... YOU WON'T BE REGRETTING YOUR MISTAKE FOR VERY MUCH LONGER!!! MOOHOO HAHAHA HAHAHA!!!!!!" Surrounding the stairs are sinister figures in black robes, green tentacles, and two grey aliens watching from the bottom right. Green textured patterns fill the background.
