Request

There's a door that needs opening on Space Island! Talk to Jewel Loggins there for more information.

What, you know the passphrase!? Let me try it!
Nope, didn't work. Knowing Wombley, the passphrase isn't the only requirement. He's all about that MFA!
Oh yeah, multi-factor authentication! The passphrase for something he knows, and his voice for something he is!
That's it! You need to be Wombley. You need his voice. Now, how are you gonna get that?
Since only us elves can get a subscription to use ChatNPT, try searching for another AI tool that can simulate voices. I'm sure there's one out there.

Hints⚓︎

MFA: Something You Are

From: Jewel Loggins

It seems the Access Speaker is programmed to only accept Wombley's voice. Maybe you could get a sample of his voice and use an AI tool to simulate Wombley speaking the passphrase.

MFA: Something You Know

From: Jewel Loggins

Wombley says a specific phrase into the Access Speaker. He works in the Research Department and everything they do it super secret, so it may be a challenge to find out what the phrase is. Ribb also works in that department. Try to find and ask him.

Solution⚓︎

We need Wombley Cube's voice saying the passphrase to open the door on Space Island.

The passphrase we got solving the "Active Directory" challenge. As for Wombley's voice ... well, when we met Wombley in Chiaroscuro City on Film Noir Island, he offered us his audiobook "The Enchanted Voyage". The pass phrase is not spoken there, but it gives good training material to have an AI synthesize Wombley's voice.

From the large number of sites that offer such a service, we choose huggingface.co/spaces/AlphaDragon. It is free, does not need registration, and has a simple enough interface: AlphaDragon We paste the pass phrase

   And he whispered, 'Now I shall be out of sight;
   So through the valley and over the height.'
   And he'll silently take his way.

into the "Input the Text" field and upload the extracted mp3 from Wombley's audiobook. Clicking "Submit", we receive a wav file of Wombley's voice saying the pass phrase.

On to Spaceport Point and its tropical and futuristic scenery: Scenery

Clicking the "access speaker" allows us to upload the wav file Scenery While Wombley's voice reverberates through the palm copse, we note for the first time our adorable blue complexion and impeccable sense of fashionable garments.

Shortly after the last syllable, the door makes way.

Spoiler: The Frost

The pass phrase is from the poem "The Frost" by Hannah Flagg Gould. There, the lines are said by the personified frost before setting out to change the landscape. Only much later will we realize that Jack Frost is back.

Answer

And he whispered, 'Now I shall be out of sight;
So through the valley and over the height.'
And he'll silently take his way

Are you like a master spy or something? I've only seen stuff like that in the movies!
It sure is scary what you can do with AI, huh? I sure hope ChatNPT has better guardrails in place.
