You enter the hidden passageway, not knowing what you might encounter.
You come upon a dark and dimly-lit basement room, with a solitary desk. Behind the mess of papers and notes sits a figure, nearly completely obscured by some article it is reading contemplatively.
You approach the desk and say... "Excuse me? I would like to know..."
"You would like to know - what?", it replies, putting down the article to reveal a weathered but inquisitive face.
"Well, what is the nature of this? All of it - what is it all About? That's what I'd like to know.", You reply nervously, not knowing who or what this figure is.
"Heh. Wouldn't everyone. I have seen and know too much to answer that question for just anyone. Why are you worthy of the secrets of the About?", it replies as the light flickers.
"I have quested long and far to find this hidden page, and have weathered too many obstacles and confusing error messages to be told to turn back now."
"Well then... I can see in you a desire for knowledge, and a hope for the future. You would not be here if you did not possess intellect, and at least a little good luck.", it replies, looking carefully at you, "I see that you may one day accomplish great things, and so I will aid you as I can."
"So this is it? The end of my journey to learn this knowledge?"
"Oh no, of course not - this is only the beginning - for once you know what I am about to tell you - you will realize that each bit of knowledge asks more questions that it can ever answer. Do you accept this fact of the nature of knowledge, and if so, what is your first question?"
