Spot the blanks in the Contract where the current names of the Being and its latest Master are filled-in.
For this block of text, I Absolutely Did Not take an entire passage of Hebrew (even a random passage unrelated to golems or contracts) and laboriously replace each character with its Malachim equivalent.
I didn't find an English-language contract, change the font, and let the Roman letters be displayed as the Malachim characters that are sorta-randomly assigned to them, either.
It's in English, but it's just a bunch of random stuff I was thinking about at the time.
Anyone want to go through and un-cipher it? I don't have the original text anymore. All I remember is, there was a lot about Orphan Black.
Miranda: Let’s get it dark in here. I’ll hit the lights. Drop all those shades . . . get the projector running . . . and forget the screen. We’ll use the wall. HUMMMMMMMMMM Bianca: Is that . . . ? Miranda: This is the Contract. This is the source code for a Being.

Gosh this reminds me of the time I stayed up way too late years ago trying to translate everything we had of the language at the time…. it being tagged on the pages was so helpful, such a wonderful archive system. Anyway, that was several computers & moves ago so I have no idea where those files would be anymore….

I’m one or two days late, but here’s a translation.
Some of the letters are behind or on top of things. Also, some data was lost… ‘PEVER’ is ‘power’, etc. ‘vowel fun’ would become ‘VEVEL VVN’.

Incredible effort, well done!
I had totally forgotten that I also complained about “Homestuck fandom is better at making an effort to translate weird background puzzle stuff.” (To say nothing of Madoka Magica fandom…)

I definitely needed the hint that this page was english. After the others weren’t, and when looking at it closely made things like ‘STVVV’ and ‘EV’ and had just way too many squares, even for E… I would have concluded it was some language I didn’t know and quit.
But I’m always up for background puzzle stuff!
