High Priestess of UTC: [Bowing to the east, the west, the north, and the
south] "We, the UTC, do herewith cast UTF-7 into the depths of universal
nothingness from whence it came."

Congregation: "Make it so."

High Priestess: "For all time coming, let auld UTF-7 be forgot." [She
casts the symbolic pot-shards to the four winds]

Congregation: "So shall it reap." [Congregation salutes]

High Priestess & Congregation together: "Om."
