	The final translation either translates to "Succeed" or "Suffeed" due to the letters C and F looking nearly the same at such low resolutions. Most believe it to read "Succeed" since "Suffeed" is not a word in the English language.		The final translation either translates to "Succeed" or "Suffeed" due to the letters C and F looking nearly the same at such low resolutions. Most believe it to read "Succeed" since "Suffeed" is not a word in the English language.

			An alternative, though far less common, interpretation is that the final translation is a typographical error of the word 'suffered.' If true, this would suggest that the five individuals referenced on the rift gate experienced some form of suffering.
