    I thought I could pick out a few words here and there. I think he said something about cake in the 3rd line from the bottom.

    The claw on his right thumb is pointing at the word "plot".

    I always knew he was up to no good.

    It's an assassination order written in code, it has been a long time waiting for this moment. He needs to strike soon before he realizes he is infatuated with the target, but the opportunity keeps slipping through his fingers.

    Looks like hastily signed signatures or initials...perhaps the dev team members?

    I've seen that before, but it's usually 1/10th the resolution, always wanted to see it clearly

    When interacted with while he's reading the signed contract:

    Isn't that a first draft of one of Maiq's vanishingly rare commentaries promising to fix the servers on pc:eu?

    I'm pretty sure that's a '108' half-obscured by the left hand digit six lines down. I may be mistaken but I think I can also make out "...crown store..." and possibly "we're killing it" towards the end.

    There was probably a lot of skooma-smoke in the air when it was drafted, judging by the brown colour of the parchment.

    Fascinating.

    M'aiq is actually the Godhead. This is him telling us that the Tribunal are false gods.
    "What a fool you are. I'm a god. How can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive? There is no escape. No Recall or Intervention can work in this place. Come. Lay down your weapons. It is not too late for my mercy" — Dagoth Ur

    Confirmed: M'aiq is a Doctor

    That piece of paper is the furnishing signed contract and not necessarily related to M'aiq
