At [[BBC]] '''Radio 1's Big Weekend''', players found and matched symbols to try and stop [[Cyrus Quinton]] of the [[Third Power]] from launching the [[Neural Override device]].

==Symbols==
[[Image:Cork symbol.jpg|thumb]]
[[Cyrus Quinton]] placed symbols around the event to aid [[3P]] agents with the placement of the [[Neural Override device]] transmitters.

The symbols are actually cards in a large game of [[w:Set (game)|Set]], matching them and entering the code-words into the Silburn-Griggs website would provide a map piece, depending on the type of set made.

Morbus discovered that the dots (based on Paul's [http://pauldenchfield.typepad.com/paul_denchfield/2007/05/chasing_dots.html 'Chasing Dots'] blog post) create nearly perfect triangles. MasterCheese noticed that the dots are only used once in each triangle. Davermouse put together the following:

Theft Case Notes/OB

2007-01-23T07:27:16Z

Arkai: /* 46 ms route */ removed wrongness

++++ PERSONAL CASE NOTES - OPERATION BAYONET ++++

Lead investigator: Detective Helena Frye

Notes: This is a dark project.
Objectives

* Objective 1: Locate, neutralise and detain the Third Power
* Objective 2: Rescue any civilians being held
* Objective 3: Retrieve any information related to the Receda Cube's location

Current Status

* Attacking Third Power encryption (negligible chance of success)
* Locating the destination of messages sent from Earth via the CRR and Relaynet
* Attempting to discover the method the Third Power are using to transmit message from their base back to the CRR, and then Earth

Relaynet Intercepts

Last week, Signals Intelligence members from the Perplex City Police confirmed that the Third Power was using Relaynet to send unauthorised messages to an unknown location. While much is still unclear, the following is known:

1. Third Power hackers were accessing computer servers located at the subway stations throughout the city. Exactly which servers were compromised is still unknown (each subway station houses one server, and is connected to other servers in a network similar to that of the subway system itself).

2. It is known that all of the messages were first entering the network at KEY SQUARE station (SigInt believes that the messages are being transmitted from the nearby Centre for Reality Research). From there, the hackers were carefully choosing which servers through which to route the messages (trying to use as many compromised machines as possible to minimise the chance of detection).

3. While we are still trying to discover WHERE the messages were being sent (i.e. which station/server was the final destination), with the aid of Academy CRT member Kurt McAllister, we recovered the following information about five of the messages transmitted: the times (in milliseconds) that the following five messages were bouncing around the network servers before reaching the final destination.

* Intercept 1: 60 ms
* Intercept 2: 48 ms
* Intercept 3: 57 ms
* Intercept 4: 46 ms
* Intercept 5: 59 ms

4. Police also have a network map (see image below) which lists the transmission times between servers on the network.

5. A complication is that messages can loop between servers in any fashion, possibly visiting servers more than once. However, as with normal routing, once a message reaches the destination server, it stops (i.e. it would not have bounced away from the destination server).

6. Knowing that all five messages originated from KEY SQUARE, and the above transmission times from KEY SQUARE to the destination, each message, individually, may have ended up at several possible stations. However, we believe that whichever station is reachable by the most of the five messages is the destination server to which the hackers were sending their messages.

7. Along with discovering the destination server of the messages, we also need to know which of the other servers were compromised and used to relay the messages to the destination server - this information may help us decrypt the messages we have intercepted. It is vitally important that we find the correct destination; guesses will not do, as we cannot afford to mount simultaneous assaults on multiple targets in Perplex City.

Message to readers on Earth: All members of Operation Bayonet are at full capacity. We require your assistance to discover the destination of the Relaynet intercepts. Please liaise with Kurt McAllister.

However, we believe that whichever station is reachable by the most of the five messages is the destination server to which the hackers were sending their messages.

7. Along with discovering the destination server of the messages, we also need to know which of the other servers were compromised and used to relay the messages to the destination server - this information may help us decrypt the messages we have intercepted.

++++ PERSONAL CASE NOTES - OPERATION BAYONET ++++

Lead investigator: Detective Helena Frye

Notes: This is a dark project.
Objectives

* Objective 1: Locate, neutralise and detain the Third Power
* Objective 2: Rescue any civilians being held
* Objective 3: Retrieve any information related to the Receda Cube's location

Current Status

* Attacking Third Power encryption (negligible chance of success)
* Locating the destination of messages sent from Earth via the CRR and Relaynet
* Attempting to discover the method the Third Power are using to transmit message from their base back to the CRR, and then Earth

Relaynet Intercepts

Last week, Signals Intelligence members from the Perplex City Police confirmed that the Third Power was using Relaynet to send unauthorised messages to an unknown location. While much is still unclear, the following is known:

1. Third Power hackers were accessing computer servers located at the subway stations throughout the city. Exactly which servers were compromised is still unknown (each subway station houses one server, and is connected to other servers in a network similar to that of the subway system itself).

2. It is known that all of the messages were first entering the network at KEY SQUARE station (SigInt believes that the messages are being transmitted from the nearby Centre for Reality Research). From there, the hackers were carefully choosing which servers through which to route the messages (trying to use as many compromised machines as possible to minimise the chance of detection).

3. While we are still trying to discover WHERE the messages were being sent (i.e. which station/server was the final destination), with the aid of Academy CRT member Kurt McAllister, we recovered the following information about five of the messages transmitted: the times (in milliseconds) that the following five messages were bouncing around the network servers before reaching the final destination.

* Intercept 1: 60 ms
* Intercept 2: 48 ms
* Intercept 3: 57 ms
* Intercept 4: 46 ms
* Intercept 5: 59 ms

4. Police also have a network map (see image below) which lists the transmission times between servers on the network.

5. A complication is that messages can loop between servers in any fashion, possibly visiting servers more than once. However, as with normal routing, once a message reaches the destination server, it stops (i.e. it would not have bounced away from the destination server).

6. Knowing that all five messages originated from KEY SQUARE, and the above transmission times from KEY SQUARE to the destination, each message, individually, may have ended up at several possible stations. However, we believe that whichever station is reachable by the most of the five messages is the destination server to which the hackers were sending their messages.

Library of Babel

2007-01-12T19:37:16Z

Arkai: /* Extra Text */

==Discovery==
One of the [[Leaked E-mails#Internal_Security|Leaked E-mails]] hinted at a "library" subdirectory:

{{quote}}
From: Garnet Reed 
To: Henrik Tanner 
Subject: Internal Security 
Sent: 17 August 2006 06.54pm

Well, there's some 'library of something or other' subdirectory off the
main path, for example. I only saw it for a split second and I couldn't
get into it, but it clearly doesn't belong there, whatever it is.
|}

== Message 1: Waking ==
This led to a hidden page:

http://perplexcityacademy.com/libraryofbabel/

The page has an animated Flash file with an id of "Thunderclap". ("A Combed Thunderclap" is a reference to the [[Jorge Luis Borges]] story, "Library of Babel". For more information, see "[[Puzzle Card Symbols]]".)

An eye opens, and text slowly appears. A transcript follows. The strikethroughs indicate words that are erased in the animation.

===Text===

Waking. It was like waking into a new world
from a dream of all the old.
Or. No. Like opening my eyes
although I knew they were already open.

For a moment I thought I could see…
everything.

---

This is <s>not</s> important: I did not kill anyone.
I have not killed anyone.
Unless <s>by my silence</s> by remaining silent too long.
But I can’t.
I can’t.

---

I must continue in silence
because what would I say,
how would I convince anyone of what I tell you now?

That I did not kill anyone.

---

But someone did.

---

There are so many possibilities, numberless scenarios
and how do I know? How can I know which one is the
truth? Like the books in the Library of Babel, each
permutation may be the correct one, but is infinitely
more likely to be deceptive. A phantom. A dream.

---

I thought it was a dream. Or a beautiful simulation of a place I have
seen so many times before in photographs or video. I knew it at
once: the yellow cars driven along the streets, the steam rising up
from the sidewalk gratings. I thought: how marvellous. How real.
I stumbled and fell. I grazed my hand and the blood was real and
the pain was real and I began to understand.

---

I didn’t kill anyone. But someone did. And they’ll be looking for me.

===Image Analysis===
The two paragraphs before the last have some letters that display before the others. This may be simply a visual effect or it may be a clue.

[[:Image:Paragraph1.PNG|Image of first appearing paragraph]]

[[:Image:Paragraph2.PNG|Image of second appearing paragraph]]

There are also strange images above the eye, at first they were thought to be kanji. Later arkai discovered that they are just letters turned sideways. These letters seem to spell "Waking" (just like the first word of the animation).

[[:Image:Weirdeye.jpg|Image of the eye, negatived.]]

===Extra Text===

On 2007-01-12, various pieces of what appear to be 3P messages started cropping up in some of the LoB animations. In Waking, we have:

{{quote}}
08012070645 -
To all operatives: Project Visor status report. Have encountered radical diffculties.
|}

and:

{{quote}}
Hypothesise that these are caused by unpredictable meteorological differences. Several thousand readings have been taken of which:
|}

(For an collected, ordered set of messages, see [[Library of Babel: Project Visor Leaks]])

==Message 2: Realise==
On 01-SEP-06, the babel page was updated to show a series of book-ish images, in various forms of hiding. Clikcing the opened book image below the message section takes us to the old message section.

Firstly, the page showed a slew of leaves. 
[[:Image:Hidden-babel-1.JPG]]

Once cleared, text is plainly visible. There does not appear to be anything else of note at this point. 
[[:Image:Hidden-babel-2.JPG]]

Then comes the interesting part. After a certain amount of time (about a minute?) the leaves blow away, and the page turns blank. Moving the mouse over the page reveals a new much more hidden message. 
[[:Image:Hidden-babel-3.JPG]]

Finally, clicking in the upper left corner of the page reveals yet another message. Sometimes, this one is initially slightly obscured by leaves, but is plainly visible. 
[[:Image:Hidden-babel-4.JPG]]

I realise I should tell you what happened. So that you'll understand. Because I'm going to need your help. I only hope that you find this first. I know that there are others looking, that they may find what I have hidden. So, help?

{{quote}}
This is how it was, then. I stumbled onto it. I never intended to steal anything. In fact, it was more that it stole me. I touched it and we were gone. I didn't know that could happen. I didn't know anything. But I'm starting from the wrong place again. You'll have to excuse me. It's been a long time and I haven't known who I could tell, or if I could tell anyone.
|}

{{quote}}
Begin at the beginning, then. I am a person, a real
person, a single individual in Perplex City. I buried the
Cube on Earth. And I will try to tell you how, but the hows
are less apparent than the whys, and even they
are obscure. Remember this: don't look for me, I know
you're already trying. Because those other people?
They're looking for me too. And if you find me, I don't
know who will travel with you.

Fellow-travellers can be dangerous: I should know.
|}

== Message 3: Dissolution. Dissipating. Everything. ==
On 18-SEP-06, the main Library of Babel page was updated once again, this time with a much more exciting, dramatic, and artistic animation.

Sometimes I asked myself if I planned it all. Of course I planned it 

I planned what had to be done, I planned how to do it. 

But I didn’t plan the end, only the beginning. The beginning is easy to explain, but dangerous. The end is harder, but safer. 

I’ll start with safe.

There was no flash or bang or choir of angels.

---

There was a sense of dissolution, of dissipating, a sense of everything.

---

And then there was hard stone under my feet and steam and yellow cars and an intense cold. And a sound of ringing in my ears.

---

I stood up.

---

Blood on my hand, but that was not important.

---

People walking, uninterested, barely looked in my direction. I thought: people. Just like us. No different at all, after everything that’s been said.

---

There was ringing again.

---

I looked around. There was me, and the Cube, and the planet Earth. So far away from home it can’t be counted. And where should I go, and what should I do? Shelter first. There were buildings all around. I knew enough, I’d done enough research. And you’re not so different. Somewhere there would be a hotel or a library, somewhere warm I could sit and think. 

I began to walk. There was the sound of ringing again.

[ringing sound]

{{quote}}
I looked around. A small cubicle, a device with a keypad and handle was ringing. Something my research had not prepared me for?

I walked past it.

[ringing sound]

{{quote}}
After a minute or two, another such device, ringing.

I walked on.
|}

[ringing sound]

{{quote}}
At the third ringing cubicle I wondered if I should do something. Was the ringing a warning? An elderly woman, smothered in a thick overcoat walked past without stopping and said:

---

Are you going to answer it?

---

I realised the meaning of the device.

---

I picked up the handset and put it to my ear.

---

On the other end a voice spoke.

---

It spoke my name.

== Message 4: The arrangements have been made. ==
On 11-OCT-06, the main Library of Babel page was updated yet again, this time with a 45x15 box of scrolling characters, sections of which formed themselves into words to form the below messages. The final message is left slowly fading in and out of focus. The background has the words "Receda's Revenge" upon it, very faintly - this update coincided with the updating of the [[Receda's Revenge]] site.

THE ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE

WHAT?

I SAID

THE ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE

I THOUGHT AGAIN OF THE INFINITE LIBRARY, OF THE WORDS ON WORDS ARRANGED ON OTHER WORDS.

OF THE WAY THAT WORDS PILE ON ONE ANOTHER, CREATING AND UNDWINDING MEANING.

OF THE PRECISE PATH LEADING FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE OPENED BY THE MEANINGS WE INFER.

---

"YOUR TICKETS," THE VOICE SAID, "HAVE BEEN BOOKED."

"YOUR ROOM HAS BEEN RESERVED."

"THE CAR WILL PICK YOU UP."

"YOUR ITEMS HAVE BEEN ORDERED."

"HAVE A PLEASANT JOURNEY."

"YES," I SAID, "OF COURSE, CERTAINLY."

---

NOTHING CAN DO THIS,
NOTHING AT ALL.
NOTHING CAN DO EVERYTHING,
NOTHING CAN BE EVERYWHERE.

I THOUGHT: I HAVE BEEN TRAPPED.
I THOUGHT: I AM AN INSTRUMENT.

---

"PLEASE WAIT WHERE YOU ARE, THE CAR WILL FOR YOU ARRIVE SHORTLY"

---

I STOOD ON THE CORNER, DIRTY-GREY SNOW
SLOPPING AT MY FEET, OBSERVING THE TIDEMARKS
OF SALT ON THE PAVING STONES.

I WAS COLD, I REALISED, VERY COLD.

I NEEDED A COAT. COULD I PURCHASE ONE?

WITH WHAT?

A THOUGHT OCCURRED.

I HAD BROUGHT ONE OR TWO ITEMS WITH ME -
NOTHING USEFUL, NOTHING CONSTRUCTIVE.

COULD I SELL SOMETHING? FOR MONEY?

---

A CAR PULLED UP AT THE CORNER OF THE
STREET, HONKED ITS HORN ONCE.

THE BLACK WINDOW PEELED DOWN.

INSIDE, THE DRIVER SPOKE MY NAME.
THIS COULD NOT BE NORMAL.
EVEN HERE. NOT USUAL.

I NODDED ASSENT. THE BACK DOOR OF THE CAR
OPENED. I STEPPED INSIDE.

WAITING FOR ME ON THE SEAT WAS A COAT.
IN MY SIZE.

---

FLYING 

FLYING 

LIKE A BIRD

ON THE WING 

AMAZING

== Message 5: To Begin. ==
On 30-OCT-06, the main Library of Babel page was updated once more. On this occasion, the screen is filled with seemingly random grey letters, which move together and turn white to form words, then separate and fade back to grey. Certain phrases remain on screen, these are marked in bold in the following transcript.

=== Text ===
{{quote}}
Things are over here, 
Over and ended except that, 
As you can see, 
Not quite over for me. 
Or for you. 

I wanted to do this slowly, 
Quietly, 

But when no 
One else 
Is speaking 
A pin-drop 
Is as 
Loud as cymbals 

When no one else is moving, creeping is running 

I think of books, 
Books within books, 
Words within words. 
A play within a play. 

-----

'''Hamlet, William Shakespeare''' 

-----

The play’s the thing, it seems. 

So again. I have things to tell you. 
Things you’ll need to know 
And I know that you’re running in circles, 
Around and around and around and 
When you’re in a circle 
You need to know 
Where it 
Starts. 

Unlike black, I do not despise the circle. 

-----

'''The wonderful O, James Thurber'''. 

-----

It starts where it ends, and where it 
Starts is by finding the secret location. 

[[Jorge Luis Borges|Borges]] is one place to begin. 

-----

'''The library of babel, Jorge Luis Borges'''. 

-----

The letters which are arranged and rearranged, 
in mathematical certainty, 
in search of meaning. 
Think of the names of the books: 

The plaster cramp, axaxaxas mlo. 

Of course, the books in that library have no author. 
But authorship is critical. 
Think of Pierre Menard or 
Of Johannes Valentinus Andrea, or 
Of Gunnar Erjfjord. 
Authors creare worlds, 
and worlds seep one to another. 

-----

'''History of the land called Uqbar, Silas Haslam'''. 

-----

Things have been closed here, closed up tightly, with 
No gaps, no room to breathe. We are all imprisoned, 
But our minds are free. '''Papillon, Henri Charriere''' 
And yet. It all begins with the arrangement of things, 
With asking a question and answering it. 

I’ve given you 
all you need to begin. Be simple. 
Start by answering the obvious questions. 

Everything leads on from the answers 
you already have. 

I don’t know how much I’ll be able to help you, 
But I’ll help you where I can. 

-----

'''Oh whistle and I’ll come to you my lad.''' 
'''Montague Rhodes James'''. 
|}

With the message done, the book titles and authors left behind form up into a grid, and a set of numbers appears. Dragging a letter in the message with the mouse reveals it's number.

===Solution===
The mention of a secret location is a reference to {{Card|223|Secret Location}}, or more specifically the [[Puzzle_card_symbols#Wave_4_Meta_Information|meta information on that card]]. Using the information given here by Combed Thunderclap, the hidden message on the card has been [[Secret_Location_Meta_Information_Solution|successfully decoded]].

===Extra Text===

On 2007-01-12, the following text was hidden in the animation:

== Message 6: Time Ticks On ==
On 11-NOV-06, the main Library of Babel page was updated yet again. This new animation was much more graphically advanced than the other three, and, rather than simply have text on the screen, the narration was red by two narrators at the same time. The message spoke more of CTs journey on earth with the cube, and contained some cryptic puzzles.

=== Text and Narration ===
At the bottom of the screen:
be patient, this may take a while

In the animation:
the time has come.
click.

{{quote}}
Time ticks on and on and on. The days have bled together and I am a different person now, quite different, to the one I was. It's been almost three years. 1,095 days. 26,297 hours. 1,577,846 minutes. And there are the deaths. Days not lived and hours not perceived. I wish this had been different.
|}

{{quote}}
There was a clock in the hotel lobby. The car dropped me off at the door. I wrapped the cube in the coat because I did not fully understand that no one here would know it, that no one would shout "stop! thief!" 

I spoke my name to the clerk behind the desk whose red nails clicked on the marble surface as the hands of the clock ticked round and round and I thought now. Certainly now I will be discovered. 

The red-nailed woman said: 

"Yes, the suite is booked for you, yes, the charges have been taken care of." She smiled as she said this. 

She said: 

"And your travel documents."
|}

{{quote}}
She handed me an envelope. I tipped the contents into my hand. There were tickets, there was a device the size of a deck of cards with a screen and a keypad, there was a small turquoise book with blank pages. On the front it said: Laissez Passer, Nations Unies. In the back of the book was a picture of me. I recognised the picture. It is a serious picture, I am in a business suit. It was taken in Perplex City. 

In my hotel room, the video-screen welcomed me by name, and the music playing on the sound system was my favourite Earth composer. I took little notice of any of this, lay on the bed and fell into a sleep as deep as the world.

{{quote}}
In my dreams, I wandered the streets of Perplex City. There was meaning in every street, in every turn, in every paving stone. I saw these numbers laid out before me: 

'''(7,8) + (6,6) + (7,8) - (6,6) - (-5,5) - (-5,5) + (7,5) + (6,5) - (6,5) + (7,5) - (6,4) - (6,4) + (8,4) + (8,4) - (8,3) - (-5,-2) - (8,3) + (6,-4) - (-5,-2) + (6,-4) + (7,-4) - (7,-4) + (8,-4) + (-4,-6) + (8,-4) - (6,-5) + (-4,-6) - (8,-5) + (6,-5) - (6,-2) + (8,-5) - (-4,-8) - (-4,-8) + (-2,-7) - (-3,-8) - (-3,-8) + (6,-7) - (6,-2) - (-2,-7) + (6,-7) + (7,-7) + (7,-7) - ''' 

and then I dreamed no more.

When plotted, the sequence creates this [http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r112/gulrad/ticks.jpg Pattern].

===Solution===
The code at the end was finally decoded by ilikepucks to reveal the proper order of the [[Puzzle_card_symbols#Wave_4_Meta_Information|Wave 4 number strings]]. [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17532]

== Message 7: A journey. ==

On December 11, 2006, the page was updated again. In this one, a set of 16 glowing blue keys spin and swirl seemingly at random around the black screen. One of the keys is a hotlink: a small two-toothed key with a perfectly round handle. When this key is clicked, the others fall away, and the message begins. This key begins in the middle of the bottom of the animation when it begins.

=== Text and lines ===

The round-handled key settles in the middle of the screen.

a journey, it transpires.

the whole thing has been about a journey

Four small four-pointed stars form a square around the key in the order upper left, upper right, lower right, lower left. The key moves to the lower right corner of the animation:

And the thing itself,

A line is drawn from the upper left star, one unit at a time: west, west, south, south, west.

The key moves to the lower left:

a maker of journeys,

A new line from the upper right star: east, north, north, east, east, east, north, west.

The key moves to the upper left:

a joiner of points.

A third line from the lower right star: east, south, south, south, east, south, west.

The key moves to the upper right:

Travel, solidified.

The last star gets a line: west nine times, southwest

The stars are then labelled in the reverse order, lower left, S; lower right, D; upper right, R; and upper left, L. The animation screen splashes to white in a flurry of percent signs and monarch butterflies.

Motion, held fast.

A large, central, rectangular area of this last screen seems to be a link or hot spot, but it does nothing obvious when clicked on.

===Extra Text===

On 2007-01-12, an extra key appeared at the start of the animation. This key contains the following text:

{{quote}}
12012700533
To all operatives

Project Visor recommendation 2. We believe we are close to a breakthrough
Continue work on Visor. We shall keep you appraised
|}

== Message 8: Flying ==
Another update occured again, on the 3rd of January. This time it is split in three;
* The first section looks like rotation on a combination lock (no punctuation or capitals), with a percent sign rearranging itself to the letters "Mod", four dots and a Clavus key;
* the second has letters and puntuation marks in groups of three in a spiral shape;
* The third has words on a clock-face.
* The conclusion shows the last 3 words, alone in bolder, stark contrast.

and flying 
it was not 
as i expected 
i thought there 
would be wind 
a sense of motion 
exhilaration 
it was a box with 
blinking lights 
and plastic sealed food 
this is the moral 
i suppose 
if you travel 
fast enough 
it feels the same 
as standing still 
but nonetheless 
there were fluffy 
clouds like 
whipped dessert 
outside the 
window 
i wondered what 
it would be like 
to touch them 
-----
i had put the cube in the bag before my journey. 
a bag of the correct size was waiting for me in the hotel room, of course.. 
at the airport all bags had to be passed through a machine to examine the contents. 
i felt suddenly afraid, with that same fear. 
someone will see it, someone will know, someone will say 'the cube! stop thief!' 
i placed the bag on to the conveyor belt. 
there was no shout, no attack. 
i glimpsed the screen showing an image of my bag. 
it showed an assortment of objects within, just like everyone else's. 
-----
in a distant place i was met by another car 
the driver holding a board with my name written on it 
on the back seat there was an envelope with my name on
-----
     and 
    a 
   shovel.

| [[Violet]] famously speculates on an audio program that her [[Sente|dad]] was responsible for stealing the Cube, describing him as a "a power-hungry psychopathic megalomaniac." Exactly our kind of thinking, eh? ([http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/04/azkaban.html Link])
|-
| 6th May '05
| [[Monica Grand]], Cube Thief, first contacts [[Pietro Salk]], under the pseudonym [[The Advisor]]. She's shaken by the killing of one of her co-conspirators, fears she will be next, and wants to give her story to the police (via The Sentinel) in exchange for immunity. She provides Pietro, a leading investigative reporter at the [[Sentinel]], with insider information regarding the equipment hidden at the [[Five of Cups]], in order to prove her credentials as a source. ([[Salklogs.doc#The_Logs transcript]])
|-
| 10th May '05
| The police, acting on the tip-off, discover the hidden equipment. ([http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/05/holyoke_housed.html Sentinel article]) Pietro replies to Monica confirming that her information was accurate, and enquiring as to her story. She reveals the truth: that her and [[Bernardo Holyoke]] were both part of the [[Cube]] [[Theft]] gang.
|-
| 15th May '05
| [[Pietro]] and [[Monica]] meet, for precisely one minute, around 7am. She tells him that they were hired help in the raid, and that the [[Third Power]] were behind it.
|-
| 17th May '05
| [[Pietro]] tries to get into the [[Reconstructionist]] compound, but has no luck - they seem to recognise who he is.
|-
| 20th May '05
| Pietro notes that "I just bloody wish I could go to the police. This is too big, I just don't have the resources I need to figure this out on my own." For a journalist, this is quite a high-quality problem.
|-
| 24th May '05
| Pietro's investigations continue. It appears he's mainly having to work this out on his own, as he can't reach an agreement with "The Advisor" over immunity, etc. She mainly gets in touch to provide unhelpful pointers. He notes: "Memo: Makes no sense. Cubeheads want the Cube, of course. But then why would H have had to be *hired* to steal it? Can't have been hired by his wife, surely? By the Cubeheads? TA will not say. Says it is too dangerous." Violet, meanwhile, attends a PXC Historical Society meeting about local pre-history, mentioning the mysterious portal-archway-things in the [[Catbite]] region. ([http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/05/more_history.html Link]) Today (or shortly before) [[Jessica Holyoke]] is traced to the [[Reconstructionist]] compound. Due to the icy relations between the cult and the Perplex City authorities, police are unsure how to proceed -they want to interview Jessica, but don't want to risk a direct confrontation. ([http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/05/holyokes_wife_l_1.html Link])
|-
| 25th May '05
| Having seen the previous day's Sentinel article, [[Monica Grand]] contacts [[Pietro]] to tell him to abandon his [[Reconstructionist]] leads and concentrate on the [[Third Power]]. After some debtate, he agrees to start over and do more research at the [[Academy]].
|-
| 26th May '05
| Pietro finds someone at a Recon produce market who claims to know [[Jessica Holyoke]] and offers to put him in contact with her for 100 Lecks...
|-
| 27th May '05
| ...unfortunately, this doesn't turn out to be money well spent. No news.
|-
| 28th May '05
| [[Pietro]] and "The Advisor" (now better known to us as [[Monica Grand]]) continue to communicate. She shows him a record of a bank transfer showing she recieved a copious amount of money in return for her work on the [[Theft]].
|-
| 31st May '05
| [[Violet]] is livid that the Police are afraid of confronting the Recons! So, inquisitive scamp that she is, she actually visits the [[Reconstructionist]] compound. She just gets the standard guided tour, though, and doesn't get anywhere near [[Jessica Holyoke]].
|-
| 1st June '05
| [[Monica]] tells [[Pietro]] that [[V]] is most dangerous because he's "a true believer." Then she reveals he's been stalking him and his wife, [[Sylvia Salk]], to ensure he isn't double-crossing her. He is rather displeased to hear this.
|-
| 4th June '05
| Pietro and Monica make up. Psychosexual tension ratchets up another notch.
|-
| 7th June '05
| Pietro and Monica speculate on what the Cube actually ''does''. Monica speculates it's some kind of superweapon. Pietro neglects to let her steal his uberweapon, if you see what I'm saying.
|-
| 9th June '05
| 2.30am: Monica returns to her apartment, having been somewhere. We don't why she left or where she went.
|-
| 10th June '05
| [[Sanjean Adamek]] emails the Kiteway sisters inviting them over for tea. But [[Violet]] declines, saying she has a "big project" that she's working on. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].) By which she means: that day she's actually been back to the [[Reconstructionists]] with [[Kurt]], broken into their secret chamber, swapped one of their [[Key]]s with one of Kurt's older models and nicked it. Then in the evening she goes out to a poker bar, called [[Bullets]] and wins "six months worth of rent." (See [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/todays_adventur.html here] and [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/adventures_part.html here].) (By way of contrast, today ''I'' edited a wiki.)
|-
|
| Meanwhile, Monica is going a bit nuts with not leaving her apartment for quite some time, and rants to Pietro about it. She's lonely, Pietro, and a woman has ''needs''.
|-
| 11th June '05
| Monica starts really flipping out and asks Pietro to come and meet her in the bright light of day, to have a coffee in the [[Ascendancy Point]] atrium like "normal people." Pietro is like "yo, WTF?" She goes on about neuroinhibitors and never having a life she was really interested in, before seeing sense and going back to her apartment. That night, she sends him info about the backdoor hack into her apartment's heat sense system. "Just in case." Comforting words.
|-
| 12th June '05
| Monica and Pietro discuss alternative careers. Pietro would like to have worked on the [[Mimasan Maze]]. Monica had a thing for the [[Rudon]] forest and would liked to have worked with trees. It takes all sorts, eh?
|-
| 13th June '05
| [[Kurt]] manages to pull a file off the illicitly obtained Recon key, and [[Violet]] sends it to us (see [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/a_mysterious_fi.html here].) We [[Recon Encryption Puzzle|decrypt]] it, and as is traditional send the results to absolutely everybody we can think of, including [[Sente]]. Sneaky, we ain't. The decrypt reveals that several prominent city figures are [[Reconstructionists]], including Cube Retrieval team member [[Aiko Entrescore]].

Pietro tells Monica he's found some information about the [[Third Power]], only to say that "I don't think it can be them. It's not what they would do." Monica can't give him any substantive evidence by key, so Pietro suggests they meet.
|-
| 14th June '05
| [[Sente]] urgently contacts [[Anna Heath]], having just learnt that [[Aiko]] is a [[Reconstructionist]]. Despite Anna's protestations, he turns over the evidence to the cops. Anna turns to [[Roberto Solitano]] to discuss the matter. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)

Pietro and Monica have an apparently idle conversation about favourite trees, but are secretly arranging a meeting place. Monica spuriously declares she's going camping overnight, which is a bit odd. It seems things are all arranged though, because...
|-
| 15th June '05
| We learn that [[Aiko]] has been arrested as a suspect in the Cube [[Theft]]. ([http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/06/entrescore_arre.html Link]) Violet gets [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/some_things_i_d.html all pissy], but calms down a little [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/after_all_that.html two days later].
|-
| 16th June '05
| ...they meet! Apart from, they don't, because Monica spots a "dark-skinned man, knew how to handle himself, sitting in a leather armchair near to the cluster of birch trees" at the meeting point, assumes it's Pietro's minder and aborts the meetup. She rails on Pietro for this, but he denies knowing anything about it, and she seems to come around to the idea that it was all paranoia. Pietro comments to himself that this is starting to feel like an affair.
|-
| 17th June '05
| Pietro notes to himself: "It's got to be the Recons, it's got to be. How does Aiko Entrescore tie into all of this? Was she in on it, just not on the same team?"
|-
| 18th June '05
| Monica confides in Pietro that he's the only person in the whole city that she can talk to.
|-
| 19th June '05
| Pietro decides it's time to end the whole charade once and for all - he and Monica will go the [[Police]] together and tell them everything they know. In the end, Monica agrees to meet him at the [[Joya]]'s wedding at [[Ascendancy Point]] on the Solstice, 21st June.
|-
| 20th June '05
| [[Aiko]] is released from police custody without charge, after a judge, [[Erik Hornblair]], rules there is insufficient evidence to detain her for any longer. [[Police]] chief [[Eoin Morgan]] diplomatically calls the situation "ridiculously suspicious." Aiko does not return to work, but goes to chill out a bit at the Recon compound. Artists: so tempramental, eh?
|-
|
| [[Pietro]] is attacked with a neuroinhibitor and lapses into a coma before he has a chance to meet Monica as planned. His wife, [[Sylvia Salk]], finds him collapsed in his study.
|-

It is about 5 feet by 3 feet and thin like a painting. She mentions [[Cambden]] doesn't seem to trust her. (note: not sure who she is talking to at this point.)
|-
| 22nd July '05
| A young, weird guy comes to the library and proceeds to bug Violet about accessing [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/07/sigh.html 'ancient documents related to the Brotherhood']. Almost certainly [[Allain]].
|-
| 25th July '05
| [[Karen]] reports that the package she mentioned before is now gone. She mentions she has a lunch date with a tech guy the next day. Turns out it was Kurt. Audio from the [[Backdoor]] puzzle [http://perplexcitywiki.com/wiki/Backdoor#Audio:_Packing_case_gone here].
|-
| 26th July '05
| Kurt has a [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/07/planes_and_date.html lunch date] with a "girl from Crypto." Fancy! Guess what? The date was with [[Karen]] who Kurt almost a year [http://www.thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2006/07/a_voice_from_th.html identifies] as the girl on the audio files from the [[Backdoor]] puzzle.
|-
| 29th July '05
| [[Aiko]] stares down [[Violet]] when they [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/07/oh_no.html bump into each other] at the [[Academy]]. Ice cold! (Interesting to note that Aiko is not yet back working as a puzzle scribe.)
Kurt, meanwhile, is [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/07/violet_and_book.html amused] by the thought that we'd assume he was doing the humpty-bumpty with Violet.
|-

| [[PCAG]] season opening ceremony! Kurt writes about it [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/08/stars_in_the_sk.html here]. "Violet and I lay back on the grass and looked up at the stars..." You said it, dude, not me.

Then Violet delivers an arch Cube-related smackdown with her dad and a fierce row ensues, as Vi is yet to notice that SHE ISN'T EVEN THE ''TEENAGE'' DAUGHTER, DAMMIT.
|-

| Kurt has a rather [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/08/the_cube_1.html insightful] discussion with "Boardman" at the [[Cube]] research labs.
|-
| 2nd Sept '05
| Violet [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/09/the_book_the_cu.html apologises] to her dad, and magically, if somewhat implausibly, makes a big resolution to devoting all her efforts to finding the Cube. She continues to try and track down the [[Third Power]] book the Earthlings asked for - it's all water-damaged, but she's having it sent over anyway.
|-
| 7th Sept '05
| [[Violet]], [[Kurt]], [[Von]] and a couple of Violet's friends head out to [[Ascendancy Point]] for some classic movies and dinner. In the process of arranging it, Kurt is yet again forced to remind people that he isn't going out with Violet. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)
And yet interestingly, Kurt [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/09/the_breakin.html claims] that he was out running that evening, "forgot something", met up with his friend [[Leo]] and then got talking about the [[Academy]] security systems. Leo posits that to break through the protcols would require at least two "genuises" and that "THINK BOTH MUST HAVE HAD INSIDE INFO DANGER TO SAY MORE." Coward.
|-
| 8th Sept '05
| [[Garnett]] and [[Caine]], from the Cube Retrieval Team, go out for drinks. Lots and lots of drinks. We know this because... (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)
|-
| 9th Sept '05
| A very hungover Caine emails a smugly sober Garnet regarding their exploits from the night before. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].) It's Violet's birthday today too, we think. Naturally, she sees Kurt and then does some gambling. Not that she'll take a gamble on Kurt, if you know what I mean.
|-
| 16th Sept '05
| Madness ensues today. Shortly before 9am, [[V]] murders [[Monica Grand]] in her [[Ascendancy Point]] apartment. Almost as soon as he leaves, [[Sylvia Salk]] arrives to find her on the edge of death. "We never held it", says Monica, then dies.
[[Sylvia Salk]] is now totally freaked out, and unable to cope decides to take her own life, joing her late husband [[Pietro Salk]] in the great beyond.
Cassandra from Earth emails Violet about all this, who races round to [[Sylvia Salk]]'s place and finds her unconscious from an overdose. Fortunately, she calls the emergency services and Sylvia is saved, and quite glad she's not dead to boot. She says thanks, [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/09/last_friday.html by the way]. Violet spends quite a lot of the next week with her (see [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/09/sylvia.html here] and once again makes empty, hollow promises about getting The Book.).
Meanwhile, Kurt [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/09/chatter.html reveals] that analysis of the PXC-Earth datalink have shown increased activity, indicating that there are nefarious extra elements communicating between the two worlds.

Not much else other than a protest is happening at the Museum while she records [http://perplexcitywiki.com/wiki/Backdoor#Audio:_Encryption_themes this message].
|-
| 29th Sept '05
| [[Sente]] emails his assistant [[Patrick Azadian]], chasing a status report from the Centre for Reality Research, an agenda for a [[PCAG]] meeting that day and a budget proposal from [[Estelle Sedgewick]]. Azadian replies the first is forthcoming, the second is sorted, and reccommends contacting [[Robert Solitano]] regarding the budget. [[Sente]] asks to try and schedule a meeting with him that day, and also that he made need Patrick to stay late that day as "CS is looking for a financial report." Patrick cancels his raquetball appointment with [[Garnett]]. However, the CS financial report seems to be a ruse, because he then asks [[Lyssa Ling]] to attend a special meeting of the puzzle scribes. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)

Meanwhile, [[Tippy]] asks [[Garnett]] out for dinner and he abruptly turns her down. Then she asks everyone else on the puzzle scribe team out for a wild partying session instead. [[Von]] notices she didn't invite Garnett, Tippy disparages Garnett, and [[Aiko]] unleashes a deserved smackdown. She's loyal to Garnett because he looked after her when she was arrested.

|-
| 20th May '05
| Pietro notes that "I just bloody wish I could go to the police. This is too big, I just don't have the resources I need to figure this out on my own." For a journalist, this is quite a high-quality problem.
|-
| 24th May '05
| Pietro's investigations continue. It appears he's mainly having to work this out on his own, as he can't reach an agreement with "The Advisor" over immunity, etc. She mainly gets in touch to provide unhelpful pointers. He notes: "Memo: Makes no sense. Cubeheads want the Cube, of course. But then why would H have had to be *hired* to steal it? Can't have been hired by his wife, surely? By the Cubeheads? TA will not say. Says it is too dangerous."
|-
| Violet, meanwhile, attends a PXC Historical Society meeting about local pre-history, mentioning the mysterious portal-archway-things in the [[Catbite]] region. ([http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/05/more_history.html Link]) Today (or shortly before) [[Jessica Holyoke]] is traced to the [[Reconstructionist]] compound. Due to the icy relations between the cult and the Perplex City authorities, police are unsure how to proceed -they want to interview Jessica, but don't want to risk a direct confrontation. ([http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/05/holyokes_wife_l_1.html Link])
|-
| 25th May '05
| Having seen the previous day's Sentinel article, [[Monica Grand]] contacts [[Pietro]] to tell him to abandon his [[Reconstructionist]] leads and concentrate on the [[Third Power]]. After some debtate, he agrees to start over and do more research at the [[Academy]].
|-
| 26th May '05
| Pietro finds someone at a Recon produce market who claims to know [[Jessica Holyoke]] and offers to put him in contact with her for 100 Lecks...
|-
| 27th May '05
| ...unfortunately, this doesn't turn out to be money well spent. No news.
|-
| 28th May '05
| [[Pietro]] and "The Advisor" (now better known to us as [[Monica Grand]]) continue to communicate. She shows him a record of a bank transfer showing she recieved a copious amount of money in return for her work on the [[Theft]].
|-
| 31st May '05
| [[Violet]] is livid that the Police are afraid of confronting the Recons! So, inquisitive scamp that she is, she actually visits the [[Reconstructionist]] compound. She just gets the standard guided tour, though, and doesn't get anywhere near [[Jessica Holyoke]].
|-
| 1st June '05
| [[Monica]] tells [[Pietro]] that [[V]] is most dangerous because he's "a true believer." Then she reveals he's been stalking him and his wife, [[Sylvia Salk]], to ensure he isn't double-crossing her. He is rather displeased to hear this.
|-
| 4th June '05
| Pietro and Monica make up. Psychosexual tension ratchets up another notch.
|-
| 7th June '05
| Pietro and Monica speculate on what the Cube actually ''does''. Monica speculates it's some kind of superweapon. Pietro neglects to let her steal his uberweapon, if you see what I'm saying.
|-
| 9th June '05
| 2.30am: Monica returns to her apartment, having been somewhere. We don't why she left or where she went.
|-
| 10th June '05
| [[Sanjean Adamek]] emails the Kiteway sisters inviting them over for tea. But [[Violet]] declines, saying she has a "big project" that she's working on. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)
|-
| By which she means: that day she's actually been back to the [[Reconstructionists]] with [[Kurt]], broken into their secret chamber, swapped one of their [[Key]]s with one of Kurt's older models and nicked it. Then in the evening she goes out to a poker bar, called [[Bullets]] and wins "six months worth of rent." (See [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/todays_adventur.html here] and [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/adventures_part.html here].) (By way of contrast, today ''I'' edited a wiki.)
|-
|
| Meanwhile, Monica is going a bit nuts with not leaving her apartment for quite some time, and rants to Pietro about it. She's lonely, Pietro, and a woman has ''needs''.
|-
| 11th June '05
| Monica starts really flipping out and asks Pietro to come and meet her in the bright light of day, to have a coffee in the [[Ascendancy Point]] atrium like "normal people." Pietro is like "yo, WTF?" She goes on about neuroinhibitors and never having a life she was really interested in, before seeing sense and going back to her apartment. That night, she sends him info about the backdoor hack into her apartment's heat sense system. "Just in case." Comforting words.
|-
| 12th June '05
| Monica and Pietro discuss alternative careers. Pietro would like to have worked on the [[Mimasan Maze]]. Monica had a thing for the [[Rudon]] forest and would liked to have worked with trees. It takes all sorts, eh?
|-
| 13th June '05
| [[Kurt]] manages to pull a file off the illicitly obtained Recon key, and [[Violet]] sends it to us (see [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/a_mysterious_fi.html here].) We [[Recon Encryption Puzzle|decrypt]] it, and as is traditional send the results to absolutely everybody we can think of, including [[Sente]]. Sneaky, we ain't. The decrypt reveals that several prominent city figures are [[Reconstructionists]], including Cube Retrieval team member [[Aiko Entrescore]].

Pietro tells Monica he's found some information about the [[Third Power]], only to say that "I don't think it can be them. It's not what they would do." Monica can't give him any substantive evidence by key, so Pietro suggests they meet.
|-
| 14th June '05
| [[Sente]] urgently contacts [[Anna Heath]], having just learnt that [[Aiko]] is a [[Reconstructionist]]. Despite Anna's protestations, he turns over the evidence to the cops. Anna turns to [[Roberto Solitano]] to discuss the matter. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)

Pietro and Monica have an apparently idle conversation about favourite trees, but are secretly arranging a meeting place. Monica spuriously declares she's going camping overnight, which is a bit odd. It seems things are all arranged though, because...
|-
| 15th June '05
| We learn that [[Aiko]] has been arrested as a suspect in the Cube [[Theft]]. ([http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/06/entrescore_arre.html Link]) Violet gets [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/some_things_i_d.html all pissy], but calms down a little [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/after_all_that.html two days later].
|-
| 16th June '05
| ...they meet! Apart from, they don't, because Monica spots a "dark-skinned man, knew how to handle himself, sitting in a leather armchair near to the cluster of birch trees" at the meeting point, assumes it's Pietro's minder and aborts the meetup. She rails on Pietro for this, but he denies knowing anything about it, and she seems to come around to the idea that it was all paranoia. Pietro comments to himself that this is starting to feel like an affair.
|-
| 17th June '05
| Pietro notes to himself: "It's got to be the Recons, it's got to be. How does Aiko Entrescore tie into all of this? Was she in on it, just not on the same team?"
|-
| 18th June '05
| Monica confides in Pietro that he's the only person in the whole city that she can talk to.
|-
| 19th June '05
| Pietro decides it's time to end the whole charade once and for all - he and Monica will go the [[Police]] together and tell them everything they know. In the end, Monica agrees to meet him at the [[Joya]]'s wedding at [[Ascendancy Point]] on the Solstice, 21st June.
|-
| 20th June '05
| [[Aiko]] is released from police custody without charge, after a judge, [[Erik Hornblair]], rules there is insufficient evidence to detain her for any longer. [[Police]] chief [[Eoin Morgan]] diplomatically calls the situation "ridiculously suspicious." Aiko does not return to work, but goes to chill out a bit at the Recon compound. Artists: so tempramental, eh?
|-
|
| [[Pietro]] is attacked with a neuroinhibitor and lapses into a coma before he has a chance to meet Monica as planned. His wife, [[Sylvia Salk]], finds him collapsed in his study.
|-
| 22nd June '05

| [[Aiko]] stares down [[Violet]] when they [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/07/oh_no.html bump into each other] at the [[Academy]]. Ice cold! (Interesting to note that Aiko is not yet back working as a puzzle scribe.)
Kurt, meanwhile, is [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/07/violet_and_book.html amused] by the thought that we'd assume he was doing the humpty-bumpty with Violet.
|-

| [[PCAG]] season opening ceremony! Kurt writes about it [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/08/stars_in_the_sk.html here]. "Violet and I lay back on the grass and looked up at the stars..." You said it, dude, not me.

| Kurt has a rather [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/08/the_cube_1.html insightful] discussion with "Boardman" at the [[Cube]] research labs.
|-
| 2nd Sept '05
| Violet [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/09/the_book_the_cu.html apologises] to her dad, and magically, if somewhat implausibly, makes a big resolution to devoting all her efforts to finding the Cube. She continues to try and track down the [[Third Power]] book the Earthlings asked for - it's all water-damaged, but she's having it sent over anyway.
|-
| 7th Sept '05
| [[Violet]], [[Kurt]], [[Von]] and a couple of Violet's friends head out to [[Ascendancy Point]] for some classic movies and dinner. In the process of arranging it, Kurt is yet again forced to remind people that he isn't going out with Violet. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)
And yet interestingly, Kurt [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/09/the_breakin.html claims] that he was out running that evening, "forgot something", met up with his friend [[Leo]] and then got talking about the [[Academy]] security systems. Leo posits that to break through the protcols would require at least two "genuises" and that "THINK BOTH MUST HAVE HAD INSIDE INFO DANGER TO SAY MORE." Coward.
|-

| [[Garnett]] and [[Caine]], from the Cube Retrieval Team, go out for drinks. Lots and lots of drinks. We know this because... (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)
|-
| 9th Sept '05
| A very hungover Caine emails a smugly sober Garnet regarding their exploits from the night before. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].) It's Violet's birthday today too, we think. Naturally, she sees Kurt and then does some gambling. Not that she'll take a gamble on Kurt, if you know what I mean.
|-
| 16th Sept '05
| Madness ensues today. Shortly before 9am, [[V]] murders [[Monica Grand]] in her [[Ascendancy Point]] apartment. Almost as soon as he leaves, [[Sylvia Salk]] arrives to find her on the edge of death. "We never held it", says Monica, then dies.
[[Sylvia Salk]] is now totally freaked out, and unable to cope decides to take her own life, joing her late husband [[Pietro Salk]] in the great beyond.
Cassandra from Earth emails Violet about all this, who races round to [[Sylvia Salk]]'s place and finds her unconscious from an overdose. Fortunately, she calls the emergency services and Sylvia is saved, and quite glad she's not dead to boot. She says thanks, [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/09/last_friday.html by the way]. Violet spends quite a lot of the next week with her (see [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/09/sylvia.html here] and once again makes empty, hollow promises about getting The Book.).
Meanwhile, Kurt [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/09/chatter.html reveals] that analysis of the PXC-Earth datalink have shown increased activity, indicating that there are nefarious extra elements communicating between the two worlds.

Not much else other than a protest is happening at the Museum while she records [http://perplexcitywiki.com/wiki/Backdoor#Audio:_Encryption_themes this message].
|-
| 29th Sept '05
| [[Sente]] emails his assistant [[Patrick Azadian]], chasing a status report from the Centre for Reality Research, an agenda for a [[PCAG]] meeting that day and a budget proposal from [[Estelle Sedgewick]]. Azadian replies the first is forthcoming, the second is sorted, and reccommends contacting [[Robert Solitano]] regarding the budget. [[Sente]] asks to try and schedule a meeting with him that day, and also that he made need Patrick to stay late that day as "CS is looking for a financial report." Patrick cancels his raquetball appointment with [[Garnett]]. However, the CS financial report seems to be a ruse, because he then asks [[Lyssa Ling]] to attend a special meeting of the puzzle scribes. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)

Meanwhile, [[Tippy]] asks [[Garnett]] out for dinner and he abruptly turns her down. Then she asks everyone else on the puzzle scribe team out for a wild partying session instead. [[Von]] notices she didn't invite Garnett, Tippy disparages Garnett, and [[Aiko]] unleashes a deserved smackdown. She's loyal to Garnett because he looked after her when she was arrested.

Note that 02 questions leaving the fourth member of the Cube theft team - which we later find out is [[Claire Castille]]- alive.

| [[Bernardo Holyoke]], owner of the [[Five of Cups]] bar and one of the Cube [[Theft|Thieves]], is murdered by [[V]] (leader of the conspiracy) in a violent struggle. Holyoke had been tasked with stealing and/or hiding high-tech equipment (including [[Klebold Plate]]s and [[Reynolds Ionizer]]s stolen from the [[Academy]], but had been selling some of it off on the side to make a profit.

|-
| 6th May '05
| [[Monica Grand]], Cube Thief, first contacts [[Pietro Salk]], under the pseudonym [[The Advisor]]. She's shaken by the killing of one of her co-conspirators, fears she will be next, and wants to give her story to the police (via The Sentinel) in exchange for immunity. She provides Pietro, a leading investigative reporter at the [[Sentinel]], with insider information regarding the equipment hidden at the [[Five of Cups]], in order to prove her credentials as a source. ([[Salklogs.doc#The_Logs transcript]])
|-
| 10th May '05
| The police, acting on the tip-off, discover the hidden equipment. ([http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/05/holyoke_housed.html Sentinel article]) Pietro replies to Monica confirming that her information was accurate, and enquiring as to her story. She reveals the truth: that her and [[Bernardo Holyoke]] were both part of the [[Cube]] [[Theft]] gang.

| Pietro's investigations continue. It appears he's mainly having to work this out on his own, as he can't reach an agreement with "The Advisor" over immunity, etc. She mainly gets in touch to provide unhelpful pointers. He notes: "Memo: Makes no sense. Cubeheads want the Cube, of course. But then why would H have had to be *hired* to steal it? Can't have been hired by his wife, surely? By the Cubeheads?

| 25th May '05
| Having seen the previous day's Sentinel article, [[Monica Grand]] contacts [[Pietro]] to tell him to abandon his [[Reconstructionist]] leads and concentrate on the [[Third Power]]. After some debtate, he agrees to start over and do more research at the [[Academy]].
|-
| 26th May '05
| Pietro finds someone at a Recon produce market who claims to know [[Jessica Holyoke]] and offers to put him in contact with her for 100 Lecks...
|-
| 27th May '05
| ...unfortunately, this doesn't turn out to be money well spent. No news.
|-
| 28th May '05
| [[Pietro]] and "The Advisor" (now better known to us as [[Monica Grand]]) continue to communicate. She shows him a record of a bank transfer showing she recieved a copious amount of money in return for her work on the [[Theft]].
|-
| 31st May '05
| [[Violet]] is livid that the Police are afraid of confronting the Recons! So, inquisitive scamp that she is, she actually visits the [[Reconstructionist]] compound. She just gets the standard guided tour, though, and doesn't get anywhere near [[Jessica Holyoke]].
|-
| 1st June '05
| [[Monica]] tells [[Pietro]] that [[V]] is most dangerous because he's "a true believer." Then she reveals he's been stalking him and his wife, [[Sylvia Salk]], to ensure he isn't double-crossing her. He is rather displeased to hear this.
|-
| 4th June '05
| Pietro and Monica make up. Psychosexual tension ratchets up another notch.
|-
| 7th June '05
| Pietro and Monica speculate on what the Cube actually ''does''. Monica speculates it's some kind of superweapon. Pietro neglects to let her steal his uberweapon, if you see what I'm saying.
|-
| 9th June '05
| 2.30am: Monica returns to her apartment, having been somewhere. We don't why she left or where she went.
|-
| 10th June '05
| [[Sanjean Adamek]] emails the Kiteway sisters inviting them over for tea. But [[Violet]] declines, saying she has a "big project" that she's working on. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)
|-
|
| By which she means: that day she's actually been back to the [[Reconstructionists]] with [[Kurt]], broken into their secret chamber, swapped one of their [[Key]]s with one of Kurt's older models and nicked it. Then in the evening she goes out to a poker bar, called [[Bullets]] and wins "six months worth of rent." (See [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/todays_adventur.html here] and [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/adventures_part.html here].) (By way of contrast, today ''I'' edited a wiki.)
|-
|
| Meanwhile, Monica is going a bit nuts with not leaving her apartment for quite some time, and rants to Pietro about it. She's lonely, Pietro, and a woman has ''needs''.
|-
| 11th June '05
| Monica starts really flipping out and asks Pietro to come and meet her in the bright light of day, to have a coffee in the [[Ascendancy Point]] atrium like "normal people." Pietro is like "yo, WTF?" She goes on about neuroinhibitors and never having a life she was really interested in, before seeing sense and going back to her apartment. That night, she sends him info about the backdoor hack into her apartment's heat sense system. "Just in case." Comforting words.
|-
| 12th June '05
| Monica and Pietro discuss alternative careers. Pietro would like to have worked on the [[Mimasan Maze]]. Monica had a thing for the [[Rudon]] forest and would liked to have worked with trees. It takes all sorts, eh?
|-
| 13th June '05
| [[Kurt]] manages to pull a file off the illicitly obtained Recon key, and [[Violet]] sends it to us (see [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/a_mysterious_fi.html here].) We [[Recon Encryption Puzzle|decrypt]] it, and as is traditional send the results to absolutely everybody we can think of, including [[Sente]]. Sneaky, we ain't. The decrypt reveals that several prominent city figures are [[Reconstructionists]], including Cube Retrieval team member [[Aiko Entrescore]].

Pietro tells Monica he's found some information about the [[Third Power]], only to say that "I don't think it can be them. It's not what they would do." Monica can't give him any substantive evidence by key, so Pietro suggests they meet.
|-
| 14th June '05
| [[Sente]] urgently contacts [[Anna Heath]], having just learnt that [[Aiko]] is a [[Reconstructionist]]. Despite Anna's protestations, he turns over the evidence to the cops. Anna turns to [[Roberto Solitano]] to discuss the matter. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)

Pietro and Monica have an apparently idle conversation about favourite trees, but are secretly arranging a meeting place. Monica spuriously declares she's going camping overnight, which is a bit odd. It seems things are all arranged though, because...
|-
| 15th June '05
| We learn that [[Aiko]] has been arrested as a suspect in the Cube [[Theft]]. ([http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2005/06/entrescore_arre.html Link]) Violet gets [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/some_things_i_d.html all pissy], but calms down a little [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/after_all_that.html two days later].
|-
| 16th June '05
| ...they meet! Apart from, they don't, because Monica spots a "dark-skinned man, knew how to handle himself, sitting in a leather armchair near to the cluster of birch trees" at the meeting point, assumes it's Pietro's minder and aborts the meetup. She rails on Pietro for this, but he denies knowing anything about it, and she seems to come around to the idea that it was all paranoia. Pietro comments to himself that this is starting to feel like an affair.
|-
| 17th June '05
| Pietro notes to himself: "It's got to be the Recons, it's got to be. How does Aiko Entrescore tie into all of this? Was she in on it, just not on the same team?"
|-
| 18th June '05
| Monica confides in Pietro that he's the only person in the whole city that she can talk to.
|-
| 19th June '05
| Pietro decides it's time to end the whole charade once and for all - he and Monica will go the [[Police]] together and tell them everything they know. In the end, Monica agrees to meet him at the [[Joya]]'s wedding at [[Ascendancy Point]] on the Solstice, 21st June.
|-
| 20th June '05
| [[Aiko]] is released from police custody without charge, after a judge, [[Erik Hornblair]], rules there is insufficient evidence to detain her for any longer. [[Police]] chief [[Eoin Morgan]] diplomatically calls the situation "ridiculously suspicious." Aiko does not return to work, but goes to chill out a bit at the Recon compound. Artists: so tempramental, eh?
|-
|
| [[Pietro]] is attacked with a neuroinhibitor and lapses into a coma before he has a chance to meet Monica as planned. His wife, [[Sylvia Salk]], finds him collapsed in his study.
|-
| 22nd June '05
| [[Pietro Salk]] emerges briefly from his coma to create an elaborate and convoluted [[Pietros maze|maze]].
|-
| 26th June '05
| [[Pietro]] finally dies in hospital.
|-
| 28th June '05
| [[Pietro]]'s funeral / memorial is held.
|-
| 29th June '05
| [[Violet]] returns from a [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/a_vacation_on_t.html camping holiday] on the plains, but we've no idea how long she was there for (potentially as early as the 17th.)
|-
| 6th July '05
| [[Violet]] is moody and, on the walk home, felt like someone was [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/07/blue_day.html watching her].
|-
| 8th July '05
| [[Kurt]] launches his Earth-eyes-only weblog, [http://www.thepathofleasttime.com/ The Path Of Least Time].
|-
| 14th July '05 (assumed)
|Audio recording from the [[Backdoor]] puzzle. [[Karen]] is talking about a package that was delivered but wasn't on the manifest that she signed. It is about 5 feet by 3 feet and thin like a painting. She mentions [[Cambden]] doesn't seem to trust her. (note: not sure who she is talking to at this point.)
|-
| 22nd July '05
| A young, weird guy comes to the library and proceeds to bug Violet about accessing [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/07/sigh.html 'ancient documents related to the Brotherhood']. Almost certainly [[Allain]].
|-
| 25th July '05
| [[Karen]] reports that the package she mentioned before is now gone. She mentions she has a lunch date with a tech guy the next day. Turns out it was Kurt. Audio from the [[Backdoor]] puzzle [http://perplexcitywiki.com/wiki/Backdoor#Audio:_Packing_case_gone here].
|-
| 26th July '05
| Kurt has a [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/07/planes_and_date.html lunch date] with a "girl from Crypto." Fancy! Guess what? The date was with [[Karen]] who Kurt almost a year [http://www.thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2006/07/a_voice_from_th.html identifies] as the girl on the audio files from the [[Backdoor]] puzzle.
|-
| 29th July '05
| [[Aiko]] stares down [[Violet]] when they [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/07/oh_no.html bump into each other] at the [[Academy]]. Ice cold! (Interesting to note that Aiko is not yet back working as a puzzle scribe.)
Kurt, meanwhile, is [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/07/violet_and_book.html amused] by the thought that we'd assume he was doing the humpty-bumpty with Violet.
|-
| 2nd Aug '05
| [[PCAG]] season opening ceremony! Kurt writes about it [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/08/stars_in_the_sk.html here]. "Violet and I lay back on the grass and looked up at the stars..." You said it, dude, not me.
|-
| 23rd Aug '05
| [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/07/oh_no.html Dinner!] [[Sente]], [[Scarlett]] & [[Brede]] and [[Violet]] & [[Kurt]] have a nice friendly meal as Scarlett is about to leave on her hiking trip for [[Tanagra]]. Then Violet delivers an arch Cube-related smackdown with her dad and a fierce row ensues, as Vi is yet to notice that SHE ISN'T EVEN THE ''TEENAGE'' DAUGHTER, DAMMIT.
|-
| 31st Aug '05
| Kurt has a rather [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/08/the_cube_1.html insightful] discussion with "Boardman" at the [[Cube]] research labs.
|-
| 2nd Sept '05
| Violet [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/09/the_book_the_cu.html apologises] to her dad, and magically, if somewhat implausibly, makes a big resolution to devoting all her efforts to finding the Cube. She continues to try and track down the [[Third Power]] book the Earthlings asked for - it's all water-damaged, but she's having it sent over anyway.
|-
| 7th Sept '05
| [[Violet]], [[Kurt]], [[Von]] and a couple of Violet's friends head out to [[Ascendancy Point]] for some classic movies and dinner. In the process of arranging it, Kurt is yet again forced to remind people that he isn't going out with Violet. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)
And yet interestingly, Kurt [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/09/the_breakin.html claims] that he was out running that evening, "forgot something", met up with his friend [[Leo]] and then got talking about the [[Academy]] security systems. Leo posits that to break through the protcols would require at least two "genuises" and that "THINK BOTH MUST HAVE HAD INSIDE INFO DANGER TO SAY MORE." Coward.
|-
| 8th Sept '05
| [[Garnett]] and [[Caine]], from the Cube Retrieval Team, go out for drinks. Lots and lots of drinks. We know this because... (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)
|-
| 9th Sept '05
| A very hungover Caine emails a smugly sober Garnet regarding their exploits from the night before. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].) It's Violet's birthday today too, we think. Naturally, she sees Kurt and then does some gambling. Not that she'll take a gamble on Kurt, if you know what I mean.
|-
| 16th Sept '05
| Madness ensues today. Shortly before 9am, [[V]] murders [[Monica Grand]] in her [[Ascendancy Point]] apartment. Almost as soon as he leaves, [[Sylvia Salk]] arrives to find her on the edge of death. "We never held it", says Monica, then dies.
[[Sylvia Salk]] is now totally freaked out, and unable to cope decides to take her own life, joing her late husband [[Pietro Salk]] in the great beyond.
Cassandra from Earth emails Violet about all this, who races round to [[Sylvia Salk]]'s place and finds her unconscious from an overdose. Fortunately, she calls the emergency services and Sylvia is saved, and quite glad she's not dead to boot. She says thanks, [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/09/last_friday.html by the way]. Violet spends quite a lot of the next week with her (see [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/09/sylvia.html here] and once again makes empty, hollow promises about getting The Book.).
Meanwhile, Kurt [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/09/chatter.html reveals] that analysis of the PXC-Earth datalink have shown increased activity, indicating that there are nefarious extra elements communicating between the two worlds.

| 02 the 3P agent for london checks in with 01. [http://perplexcitywiki.com/wiki/Emails_To_and_From_O2]
|-
| 21st Sept '05
| [[Scarlett]] checks in from her [[Tanagra]] hike, describing it as beautiful and tiring to her [[Sente|dad]] and [[Violet|sister]]. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)
|-
| 23rd Sept '05
| [[Caine]] paints the statues in the [[Founder's Gallery]] yellow. [[Von]] is most amused, and [[Aiko]] has to remind him to go home and get the paint off his fingers. Meanwhile [[Tippy]] is busy manipulating [[Von] to go out and buy her coffee, to [[Anna]]'s chagrin. She tries to get [[Kurt]] to get the boy to stand up for himself. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)
|-
| 24th/25 Sept. '05 (or possibly 01 Oct. '05)
| Through the crypto [[Backdoor]] recordings, [[Karen]] has more to say about the deliveries to her department, she hasn't noticed anything odd lately but she has noticed hush-hush correspondance with quantum encryption using the word "Viendenbourg" and references to the "material." Not much else other than a protest is happening at the Museum while she records [http://perplexcitywiki.com/wiki/Backdoor#Audio:_Encryption_themes this message].
|-
| 29th Sept '05
| [[Sente]] emails his assistant [[Patrick Azadian]], chasing a status report from the Centre for Reality Research, an agenda for a [[PCAG]] meeting that day and a budget proposal from [[Estelle Sedgewick]]. Azadian replies the first is forthcoming, the second is sorted, and reccommends contacting [[Robert Solitano]] regarding the budget. [[Sente]] asks to try and schedule a meeting with him that day, and also that he made need Patrick to stay late that day as "CS is looking for a financial report." Patrick cancels his raquetball appointment with [[Garnett]]. However, the CS financial report seems to be a ruse, because he then asks [[Lyssa Ling]] to attend a special meeting of the puzzle scribes. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)
|-
| 3rd Oct '05
| [[Caine]] steals [[Tippy]]'s stapler, the utter bastard. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)
|-
| 6th Oct '05
| Violet ''finally'' heads over over to the central archives to meet her friend [[Cumber]] and gets her hands on The Book! Sadly, it's been nearly ruined, but she's confident that Kurt will be able to get something out of it and promises to swing by tommorrow.
|-
| 7th Oct '05
| And that's exactly [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/10/trip_to_the_lib.html what happens]. Ah, they're such a great team...

Meanwhile, [[Tippy]] asks [[Garnett]] out for dinner and he abruptly turns her down. Then she asks everyone else on the puzzle scribe team out for a wild partying session instead. [[Von]] notices she didn't invite Garnett, Tippy disparages Garnett, and [[Aiko]] unleashes a deserved smackdown. She's loyal to Garnett because he looked after her when she was arrested. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)
|-
| 10th Oct. '05
3P Agents 02, 05 and 07 talk about [[V]] and his bad mood stemming from his boss at work, which we later find out is [[Hesh Records]] where he is a recording engineer.
|-
| 11th Oct '05
| Violet observes that the pages of The Book which mention the [[Third Power]] are a lot more water-damaged than the ones that don't. "[http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/10/going_crosseyed.html Creepy, huh?]" We're inclined to agree.
|-
| 12 Oct.'05
| Mass emails sent to the 3P agents from V announces that both unstable links ([[Bernard Holyoake and [[Monica Grand]]) have been eliminated. These emails were found through the [[3PGroupWareManager]] found during the live event. An example of the mass email is[http://perplexcitywiki.com/wiki/Emails_To_and_From_O2#Successful_Completion_.28mass.29 here] in the email exchange between V and 02. Note that 02 questions leaving the fourth member of the Cube theft team - which we later find out is [[Claire Castille]]- alive. V replies: "I am unconvinced that the risk of exposure would be worth the gain in security. " but she will be eliminated when he thinks the time is right.

|-
| 19th Oct '05
| Violet delivers some [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/10/see_i_deliver.html first quotes] from The Book, and not a moment too soon. The [[Third Power]] is described as one of the [[Cube]]'s "guardian cults" in the period immediately following the war.
|-
| 27th Oct '05
| Violet [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/10/symbols.html posts some symbols] from The Book. Stirring stuff, eh?
|-
| 1st Nov '05
| Finally, Violet has some more [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/11/more_from_lenci.html dirt] from The Book on The [[Third Power]], suggesting it has deep roots at the [[Academy]]. She's also working hard on the [[War Exhibit]].
|-
| 7th Nov '05
| Kurt [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/11/that_pesky_book.html chimes in] with his take on restoring information from The Book: "all my copious spare time is being consumed by Violet's latest crazy project." Only because you love her, Kurty-boy.
|-
| 9th Nov '05
| Violet posts the [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/11/some_news.html final instalment] from The Book, a list of implausibly famous characters from PXC history who the author claims were members of the [[Third Power]]. But [[Aiko]] remembers she's seen the 3P Symbol somewhere - specifically, in [[Sanjean Adamek]]'s house...
|-
| 12th (or 13th) Nov '05
| Kurt visits the [[War Exhbit]] with his current crush, Sarah. She goes "all quiet" when he mentions his investigations with Violet and then is decidedly non-committal about seeing him again. Lesson: Talking a lot about your totally great not-girlfriend is a losing tactic.
|-
| 22nd Nov '05
| [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/11/my_visit_to_unc.html Long time no see, Violet]! She's been pokering about again, visited her uncle [[Sanjean Adamek]] and confirmed that the [[Third Power]] symbol is definitely in his house, and that it was put there by the original builder, [[Anthony Granier]] and that [[Aiko]] had, in fact, turned up at some point previously to take photos of it. Fortunately Granier is famous and prolific diarist, and she tried to get access to the rarest original ones. No deal - you need to be a published researcher to access them.
|-
| 28th Nov '05
| Six days later, Violet loses patience and hits us over the head by telling us to [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/11/a_brainwave.html WRITE A DAMN BOOK, ALREADY].
|-
| 29th Nov '05
| [[Violet]] is totally grossed by Cymbalisty's slimyness (she needed him to sign forms regarding her [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/11/my_visit_to_unc.html accreditation re: the Granier business) and tells [[Kurt]] about it, asking him out for a drink before dinner. (via [[Leaked E-mails]].)
|-
| 1st Dec '05
| Kurt [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/12/ceremonies.html says] he's been getting a lot of mail about subway stations and ceremonies. He sends us eager Cube Hunters to the [[Brotherhood Of The Six]] for the information we need...
|-
| 6th Dec '05
| Violet [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/12/book_update.html reports] that Jason & Miranda, aka The Ominous Librarians, have started working at the [[Library]]. She fails to notice that they should probably be pushed under the nearest subway train ASAP, for everyone's safety. Kurt [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/12/random_musings.html muses] randomly, and also notes having spotted a rogue reporter from The [[Sentinel]] over by the Cube Research labs that day. Huh?
|-
| 14th Dec '05
| Violet [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/12/developments.html briefs us] on the latest happenings: [[Isaac Cymbalisty]] is all over [[Miranda]] like a rash, but she's still dating [[Kurt]] and it's going very well, and she's mulling over making a move on [[Jason]], despite the fact that he just so happens to be "really interested" in the "manuscript stuff", OMFG RUN, VIOLET, RUN!
|-
| 16th Dec '05
| Our "trust no-one" attitude doesn't seem to have much traction in Perplex City - Kurt writes about taking [[Miranda]] out to the Finnegan/Johnson [[PCAG]] match, with a nasty headcold.

Arkai: logcal to logical

==General==
After following [[The Receda Trail]], PXC players realized that they must gather together to intercept a secret [[Third Power]] rendezvous. So on October 22, 30-40 people gathered in Clapham Common - from forum regulars to people whose interest had been roused by an ad in the Oct. 20 Metro:

A simple cipher reveals the message to be:

==The puzzles==
[[Image:I need your help 126.jpg|thumb|Map Back Text]]

Armed with maps from [http://weneedtofindthem.com our anonymous friend] and organized by [http://www.fneh.net/guy/thelastkeyword/ GuyP], players arrived in Clapham Common wearing the requisite purple.

After groups began to congregate, a motorbike dropped off a package containing folders with maps and instructions, and the basic treasure trail, with five tasks in five locations (plus one virtual).

{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff; background: #f3f3ff"
|
The Third Power will be holding a rendezvous today, not long from now, less than a mile away from here. I wasn't able to find out exactly where, but I do know how you can figure it out. They've set up five puzzles in order to tell their agent the rendezvous location. I've marked where these tests are on the map on the back of this sheet.

Between them, these puzzles will give you a codebook and four keywords. You can use them together to figure out a password. There's also some kind of online puzzle that will reveal a page where you can type in this password. Once you've done that, it should give you the final pieces of information you need to get to the rendezvous.
|}

So, the PXC players divided themselves into five groups, and commenced solving.

===Online: 3P.html, the rapidly winding trail===
''The reader should understand how crazy this all was! Every 5 minutes, new pages were cropping up all over! -Scott''

Our trail of the day began at:
*http://secure.recedaresorts.com/3p.html

''3p.html'' kept a running update of changes. Immediately, this was noted:
*''Updated Receda Approach is now active and ready''
Which led us to look at this page:
*http://www.therecedaapproach.com/interview.html

This immediately made the astute think of other sites:
*http://www.therecedasign.com/stills.html

Carefully, it was noted the logical connection would be the song, mentioned in the "approach" interview.
*http://www.therecedasign.com/sculptor/

Once again, wise hands referred to past trail efforts, and dialed up the somnatherapy line. The sculptor page had a series of numbers, which gave clues about what to dial in what order.

The ''3p.html'' page was once again updated to say:
*'' /mirror music puzzle confirmed to lead on to private dir on Receda's Revenge''
This led us to look here:
*http://www.recedaschoolofmusic.com/mirror/

However, the song being played is ''The Moonlight Sonata''
*http://www.re-cedasrevenge.com/moonlightsonata/

The long and very interesting path you are led on leads you here:
*http://www.re-cedasrevenge.com/moonlightsonata/jakldf.html

Carrying on from above we got:
*http://www.recedaresorts.com/luminary/

Caps on the page give you bookitnow:
*http://www.recedaresorts.com/bookitnow

Which redirects to:

===Cast Adrift===
''courtesy brat-sampson on UF''
Coordinates: X7

Upon reaching the small lake marked on the map, the group discovered three objects floating around in it. After much discussion and debating over how to retrieve them, including some poor souls almost willing to sacrifice their dryness for the cause, an individual pointed out handy strings which could be used to withdraw the objects from the water.

Inside were square pieces of paper each devided into a 3x3 grid. There were 18 pieces altogether, 2 identical sets of nine. These were all maps of a wide expanse of water with named islands and boats in certain squares. The boats all had directions underneath to denote the paths they travelled from island to island (e.g. N SE W E S) with the goal being to use this info to arrange the grid correctly and find out which island was visited by all boats (assuming that the boat continues in said direction until an island is reached before changing direction to the next one, etc without going off the side) This puzzle got very close to being solved in the time limit but unfortunately the final answer was not deduced in the given time. Looks like it would've been GREEN though. CORRECTION: Actual answer to solved puzzle was GAUGE island.

*<uneasyjd> just spoke to guy (lake team)
*<uneasyjd> they found 9 map pieces (simple grid system) - boats and islands on the map
*<uneasyjd> need to assemble complete map based on instructions on each of the boats
*<badger_burrow2005> my brother and his mate have retrieved a map
*<badger_burrow2005> and a clue saying "the boats weigh anchor and move from island to island. Which islands do the boats dock in?"

*<uneasyjd> ok - i've got detailed descriptions from guy
*<uneasyjd> 9 map pieces - each a 3x3 grid
*<uneasyjd> 1 - top row center - 'WEIGH ISLAND'
*<uneasyjd> 2 - top row left - 'GREEN ISLAND', middle row center - boat 'GILLIGAN'S FOLLY'
*<uneasyjd> 3 - top row center - 'TIME ISLAND'
*<uneasyjd> 4 - middle row center - boat 'CLOUDMAKER', middle row right 'BENCH ISLAND'
*<uneasyjd> 5 - middle row center - 'RIGHT ISLAND'
*<uneasyjd> 6 - top row center - boat 'BLACK PEARL', middle row left 'OLIVE ISLAND', middle row center 'GAGE ISLANDS'
*<uneasyjd> 7 - bottom row left - 'POWER ISLAND'
*<uneasyjd> 8 - top row rightt - 'LEVEL ISLAND'
*<uneasyjd> 9 - middle row right - 'NEVER ISLAND', bottom row left - 'TOOTH ISLAND'
*<uneasyjd> each number represents a different map piece
*<uneasyjd> ok - each boat has a list of directions - the travels from it's starting point in the 1st given direction until it hits an island, then turns in the 2nd direction until it hits another island, etc.
*<uneasyjd> GILLIGANS FOLLY - s-se-n-n-s-w-w
*<uneasyjd> CLOUDMAKER - nw-e-sw-n-n
*<uneasyjd> BLACK PEARL - n-e-s-e-nw-w-s
*<uneasyjd> there is only one island that all 3 boats will visit, and that's the answer
*<uneasyjd> we've just got to assemble the map and sort it all out

===Buried Secrets===
====Summary====
The team that headed out here was included brat-sampson, and Jeb, who was in contact with Jakeo by phone. Upon arriving at a patch of gravel, they discovered 3 aluminium suitcases, two of which were padlocked.

====First briefcase====
The first contained two jigsaw puzzles that appeared to have braille on it in the form of orange and purple fish. Referencing the braille page on wikipedia ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille]) The page as translated into a sequence of numbers:

*<Scott> talk to me jakeo
*<Jakeo> was on phone
*<Jakeo> ok
*<Jakeo> I'll convert each number given to me into a 6 digit binary
*<Jakeo> 12
*<Jakeo> 34
*<Jakeo> 56
*<Jakeo> does that make sense?
*<Scott> thats fFine
*<Jakeo> 110000
*<Jakeo> 110100
*<Jakeo> 100100
*<Jakeo> 100100
*<Jakeo> 101100
*<Jakeo> 011000
*<Jakeo> 100000
*<Jakeo> 110100
*<Jakeo> 110100
*<Jakeo> 101000
*<Jakeo> 110000
*<Jakeo> 110000
*<Scott> 345589144833
*<Scott> i'm rechecking it now.
*<step> new on the secure page | · Braille number puzzle was confirmed to be in locked briefcases prior to start
*<step> in green text
*<Jakeo> they broke it open
*<Jakeo> :)
*<Scott> heh
*<Scott> well
*<Scott> ok
*<Scott> 345589144233 is right .. so you know. :)

345589144233

The team on the ground solved this sequence to be:

34+55=89
89+144=233
144+233=377

377 was the combination to the padlocked suitcase.

====Second briefcase====
This case was initially opened by brute force methods, but the combination was 377. Inside the padlocked suitcase was another two jigsaw puzzles with coconuts and palm trees spelling out the number sequence 641 643 647 653. This is a prime number sequence, with the next being 659. This was the combination the the third suitcase.

====Third briefcase====
The third case (rumoured on irc to contain sudoku, see Boxes of Delight) contained another two jigsaw puzzles.

{|
|[[Image:jigsaw3i.jpg|thumb|Maple Leaves]]
|[[Image:jigsaw3ii.jpg|thumb|Maple Leaves]]
|}

This has maple brown and orange maple leaves which spell out MATCH 1 5 7 13 23. Match is presumed to be the keyword, the number sequence remains a mystery.

'''Comedy Moment'''
While on the phone with Jakeo describing the puzzle Jeb says 'Oh, okay. We've just smashed open one of the suitcases and are working on the next puzzle'

===Boxes of Delight===

There was a fifth group on the ground who went to the location marked on the map by 'Boxes of Delight' but came past the 'Buried Secrets' group saying that they couldn't find anything (hence the confusion online as to where the sudokus came from - they were not in a 'Buried Secrets' briefcase). Fortunately a member of the group went and found sudokus in plastic cases attached to the trees. One box was ringed in red on each puzzle, and there were musical notes on the back of each. It was theorised that putting each puzzle in order of the length of the note on the back would have lead to a 33 digit number that could be used to find the keyword, but there was not enough time to solve all of them and the puzzle remains unsolved.

===Radio Play===

[[Image:Map 425.jpg|thumb|Map]]

The handouts specified a telephone number, which instructed people to go to:
*http://secure.recedaresorts.com/radiofeed.html

The radio play team had to ring in the radio show, take pictures of themselves doing specific things:

*Two goals in one
*King of the Hill
*Stand and Deliver
*Banned Bands
*Railing Against Nature
*West Side Massive
*Parliament of Trees
*Windmill

Then send them to the 'online team', who put them up for us to see as a link off the [http://secure.recedaresorts.com/radiofeed.html radiofeed]. When they'd done them all it gave us the codeword '''ether''' which then let us get through the authenticate page.

==They took pity on us...==
The goal, at length, was to get 4 keywords, which was then fed to a codebook, and placed in a webpage:

http://secure.recedaresorts.com/trackaccess/index.php

However as the last minutes ticked down, we only needed one keyword. The security protocols had changed.

'''http://secure.recedaresorts.com/locationtracker.html'''

This led us (them, really) on a wild and crazy run around london!!

*<MasterCheese> get to jedburgh street people!
*<MasterCheese> NOW

What took place then was a string of wild chases, running through the streets of London!! To cut through the enthusiasm a bit, when Chippy finally reached the end of the run, the ''3p.html'' page was reporting all sorts of cataclysm!

==Or did they have us in a large complex snare all along?==

We'll let Brat-sampson fill in what happened next:

{| border="0" cellpadding="10" width="70%" style="border: 2px solid #ddddff;" bgcolor="#f3f3ff"
| At this point it becomes a tad confusing as the next step consisted of a rather long walk/run following directions given to Ollie via the online people. This eventually terminated in an alley next to a heliport where there were a series of posters in around 4 different designs with bizzarre symbols on them and writing telling us to remain where we were and stay vigilant.

Somebody standing on a bench then spotted that some people were walking out of the center towards the main doors and by the time I got back around to the main gates I was informed that two shady looking men had escorted one of us (or so i thought) onto the helicopter. After realising that he was in fact the mole sent by the 3P to keep tabs on our progress there was much booing, jeering and unspeakable hand gesturing towards him as he escaped in his shiney black helicopter (Yes it was really cool, despite being mildly irritating that the guy we'd spent the day with had played us all for fools)

As a finale it was discovered that the mole had left behind his backpack, which he'd been carrying around all day and which contained many many packs of cards, [[leitmark]]s for all and a 'thanks for coming along' notice from MC along with a promise that the first round of drinks was on them.

''The note dropped by O8, which reads "From O1: Watch"''

At that moment, the ''3p.html'' page was updated to link to:
*http://secure.recedaresorts.com/monitoring/index.html

It suddenly became apparent: The unidentified person beckoning us to help them was in fact an operative with [[The Third Power]]. The whole trail had been a lengthy drawn out procecss to see how tenacious we really were.

All was not lost. a discussion between 08 and 01 was observed, and linked to here:
*'''http://therecedaapproach.com/remembrance/'''

In 48 hours, the trail picked up here; See: [[3PGroupwareManager]]

2006-08-29T23:35:51Z

Arkai: Added more cards.

[[Image:Sente_full.jpg]]

==General==

*He supports [[Anja Marlowe]]'s [[Museum]] exhibit on [[The War]];
**Made the surprising move of addressing the assembled with a statement of care.

*On 14-JUN-05, when he discovered [[Aiko]] was a member of the [[Reconstructionists]], he [[Leaked_E-mails#Sente_Calls_Anna.2C_Urgently|contacted Anna Heath]] urgently informing her as well.
**He then sent the information on to the police, who swiftly arrested [[Aiko]].

*In 252 he became Senior Fellow in [[Cryptology]]. In this role, he oversaw the growth of the department, securing over PCL 60 million in corporate funding and sponsorship as well as building strong ties for the department with the government and military.

*Professor Kiteway is well known for his research into autonomously-evolving cipher streams; the ubiquitous SNT coding device is only one of his creations.

*He has worked as a consultant to defence intelligence and in the financial sector.

*He has been a leader of several professional organisations, both in the private sector and in academia.

*He serves as Executive Director of the Games' Schools Programme, which encourages young people to participate in the annual [[PCAG|Games]] and coaches them in problem-solving skills.

*Since 261 he has been Chairman of the Carrick Foundation, a charitable trust which awards grants to support technological innovation by small businesses and individuals.

''"He's very intelligent, and he believes in something. He believe so much that he'd do anything in its service, and that makes him more dangerous, because he's willing to sacrifice anything. . .Maybe that makes him insane. Although I imagine others in his organisation might consider him a hero."''

-''Police Detective [[Helena Frye]]''

==General==
*For the trail of discovery, see [[Cyrus Quinton]].
*It is believed that "V" stands for the roman numeral 5, as in Quint. Quinton.
*[[Claire Castille]] informed us that she has heard him be called "Vadik" before.
*It is possible he was responsible for the [[Theft]] of [[The Receda Cube]]
**This is the subject of some disute (Reason: [http://thescarlettkite.com/archives/2006/03/coming_home.html])
*Seems to be the person in charge of the 4-man mission, with codenames:
**"Vadik" - "[[Cyrus Quinton]]"
**"Quercus" - [[Bernardo Holyoke]]
**"Kilo" - [[Monica Grand]]
**"C" - [[Claire Castille]]

*Was directly responsible for Monica Grand's death.
*Was probably also responsible for the deaths of [[Pietro Salk]], Bernardo Holyoke, & [[Fran Mendling]].
*Should at all times be considered very very dangerous.

"He's in his mid-30s, with dark hair. He looks like a thousand other guys you might meet. As for the name, 'V'. Once I heard someone else - someone who's dead now - call him 'Vadik'. Like the shadow-wizard in the story. It's appropriate for him. And as for what you should do if you ever meet him: run. Just run."
--Claire Castille's description - ([http://www.thescarlettkite.com/archives/2006/03/coming_home.html link])
|}

*Has direct ties to [[The Third Power]]
*Communicates with the [[3PDossier|Third Power on Earth]]

*Monica Grand knew him before the Theft.
*Claire Castille met him 3 times ever.
**Apparently he knew the entire theft crew, somehow, though they did not know each other.

*He had a day-job, at [[Hesh Records]], which was a sort of cover.
*He also has a boss within the Third Power, "The Big-Boss".
**It is quite likely this boss works at [[The Academy]].

When I read the [[VFE#VFE|View from Earth]] column '[[Benjaminbrum|Sexual Politics]]' last week, I was horrified at the Earth-centric base assumptions the author made. Unlike on Earth, where artificial categories of people are by turn oppressed and defended, we have no such bizarre subdividing in [[Perplex City]]. We have many notable men in the city who love men, and many notable women who love women, as well; but why is this placing of affection something that needs to be separated and defended? I know that I have never been attacked or snubbed because of my own relationships with women. What next, will we be scolded for not vigilantly defending the rights of people who have green eyes?

I actually meant it as a [[Special:Lonelypages]] to tell the truth, but made a bad description and didn't know that existed. Should I delete all references to this on pages? [[User:Arkai|Arkai]] 21:11, 22 August 2006 (PDT)

Arkai:

so the question begs to be asked: Do we need a category which only does what [[Special:Deadendpages]] already accomplishes? I appreciate the spirit of what you're doing, [[User:Arkai|Arkai]], but I'm not sure it's exactly, you know, needed. Could you perhaps elaborate your intentions here?

==Keep an eye on...==
To keep this as a feature, or develop some kind of community category for things that people should bookmark and check constantly? Thoughts? -[[User:Lhall|Lhall]] 13:16, 21 August 2006 (PDT)

Hmm. Interesting. Well, I suppose as it becomes useful, sure. catchy theme. But I'm not sure it will be in need constantly. In theory, one should keep an eye on a whole bunch of stuff. but yeah, it's catchy. so we can remember to toss it in whenever something comes up. [[User:Scott|Scott]] 13:48, 21 August 2006 (PDT)
