I’m struggling to tie the theme into where to begin with this meta and I think I’m starting to overthink it. Anyone able to start a spark that’ll get this brain train moving? TIA

Editing to add: I only have today to work on this so I’m rushing myself. I’m not just giving up already lol

I've beamed up. Unlike my usual luck, Matt updated the board right after I submitted, so I didn't have to wait for confirmation.

I had a bit of deja vu with this one, but looking back, I see why I felt that way, but this is a different approach.

You weren't the only one.
But I can't remember where or when. Was the title the same? the mechanism?

Yes, it seemed familiar to me. Probably a different title but the mechanism was similar.

Answering that here could be a spoiler, but I'll tell you via PM if you wish.
