Final answer:

This is a PowerShell script that decodes a secret message from a text file.

Step-by-step explanation:

The script provided is a PowerShell script that decodes a secret message from a text file. The script first assigns the encoded message to the variable $MYTEXT.

Next, it uses the [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetString() method and [System.Convert]::FromBase64String() method to decode the message.

The decoded message is then stored in the variable $DECODED, and finally, the decoded message is displayed using the Write-Output cmdlet.
