To whom it may concern, We have taken TheArtist. He is currently aboard our vessel, undergoing observation. His continued existence in your world is now a matter of negotiation. The terms are simple: transfer 1,000,000 sats in total. The payment structure is divided into 1,000 editions, each priced at 1,000 sats. Every edition claimed brings him one step closer to release. Failure to meet these demands will result in permanent relocation. His presence will be removed from your reality, preserved only as a digital artifact—if at all. You have been warned.
