The Chosen Warrior Wields the Sword of Legacy Code Maintainance
Description
A four-panel sepia-toned comic by @louizralph (imgflip.com watermark bottom-left) in a retro pulp-fantasy style. Panel one: a muscular hand grips a sword hilt embedded in stone with the exclamation 'HNNG!'. Panel two: a barbarian triumphantly raises the freed sword skyward as lightning strikes it. Panel three: two hooded, grim-faced elders proclaim 'FINALLY, A WARRIOR WITH THE STRENGTH TO WIELD THE SWORD OF LEGACY CODE MAINTAINANCE'. Panel four: the barbarian, now bespectacled and visibly dismayed, inspects the blade and asks 'The sword of what?'. The meme frames legacy code maintenance as a cursed destiny bestowed on whoever proves strong enough - the classic fate of the competent engineer who gets rewarded with the codebase nobody else can handle

The sword chooses its bearer the same way the legacy system does: whoever was last seen successfully touching it
The sword grants +10 strength and permanent ownership on first checkout.
