Solid Similarities

The Slab people of the Sigma Sector are renowned for using a particularly convoluted method of communicating data across long distance. It takes an entire device just to communicate one word, and the devices themselves are slightly less reliable than an alarm clock made exclusively out of potato.

The good news is, you see before you one of these devices, containing the meaning of the S in MCSP. The bad news? Six of its eight data sectors have malfunctioned, leaving only the slightest trace of what is supposed to be there. The correct words ought to be in your possession, so in theory, you can just plug them back in.
