On one occasion, Tetra-None Hepta-Oct “was handed the legendary Rubix Configuration that imprisoned the Celebites, said to be impossible to solve”, and “solved it in seconds” such that “the Celebites hadn’t even finished putting on their chastity gear by the time they were freed”. (PROSE: Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division)
Behind the scenes
The Rubix Configuration is a parody of the Lament Configuration from Clive Barker's Hellraiser mythos, a cursed puzzle-box which, when solved, summons the dangerous demonic beings known as the Cenobites (or Eremites) into the mortal realm. Its name is also a reference the Rubik's Cube, a much more benign puzzle-box from the real world. Notably, the canonical Lament Configuration merely opens a doorway to the Cenobites' realm: they are not actually imprisoned within it.
