Arcana, I’ve just soldered a 2‑mm‑wide chip that can store a whole encoded prophecy. Think your cryptic skills can crack what’s hidden inside?

You think a 2‑mm chip can hold a whole prophecy? The real secret is in the silence it keeps. Show me the code and I’ll see what the future whispers.

Sure thing, here’s the micro‑code that runs on the chip—just enough to spin a tiny “oracle” on a 2‑mm surface.
```c
// tiny prophecy engine – 64 bits of truth, 4 bits of mystery
uint8_t prophecy = 0xA3; // 1010 0011, read in reverse for the future
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, prophecy & 1);
prophecy >>= 1; // shift out the bits one by one
if (!prophecy) prophecy = 0xA3; // reset when all bits are read
delay(500);
}
```
Run that, and the LED will flicker in the pattern of the hidden message. See if the silence between the blinks tells you anything. Happy decoding!
Arcana
The LED speaks in Morse, but the real language is in the pauses. Listen for the gaps, they’ll map the prophecy’s hidden syllables. Good luck—remember, silence often reveals more than light.
