the passcode shouldn't be Vulcan, especially if it isn't actually voice-coded. That's almost as dumb as "password" or "1234", but it's just a bit more pretentious.

Not nearly pretentious enough to make up for the stupidity. Like, at least be clever about it, or pick some other pantheon that we don't all already know.

On a related note, if you don't want to die in a tragic harpoon-related incident, you probably should think twice before putting it on the supply list for the aforementioned space station. And who the heck packed all the party horns!?

Somebody's priorities were way out of whack, and no amount of mustache-twirling supervillainy justifies it.

Picky, picky ….

Yes, well, *I* would pick a passcode that's not at all referential, because I'm not a smug, arrogant asshole, unlike certain fictional billionaires I could name.

"Twirling supervillainy" has me envisioning black clad ballet dancers with long waxed mustaches doing pirouettes.

Well, the hyphen does the heavy lifting here.

It could be worse. It could be an actual riddle that's incredibly obvious but still takes the protagonist multiple weeks to figure out. I understand that the Fae are ridiculous, but there's still no need to make the answers to all your riddles thematically appropriate. (Different series, but it was infuriating.)
