Hopkapi: added a Q about the cube and how it got here/how we're going to send it back

This page contains a list of all our "known unknowns" - questions that we don't yet have answers to.

* What is at [[Viendenbourg]]? We know it's some kind of military installation, and they're possibly excavating the site - the sound of drilling eminates from the long, low industrial building. It's very heavily protected by a neurodisruptive field that renders intruders confused, and ultimately unconscious. It was implied that Sente knew about its existence, but the employee might have assumed this from Scarlett's presence at the facility.

* Who created the [[Djinn]] virus? This was a virus that destroyed or accessed data on people's keys, and was transmitted key-to-key. It was created by someone who accessed insider information at the Centrifuge labs - a company that manufactures keys. The answer to this question is also the answer to the silver Shuffled card.

* What is on the last page of the [[Anthony Granier|Granier Diary]]? It was in the custody of murdered librarian, Isaac Cymbalisty, at the time of his death. Violet insinuated that no harm would come to it - "The police confirmed... they'll release it back to the museum when their investigations are concluded." - but right now we don't know of its whereabouts. Also: what were the Granier Diaries specifically referring to?

* Who killed [[Isaac Cymbalisty]]? He was the fairly dislikable chief librarian at the PXC Academy Library and was working on restoring the Granier Diaries with Violet. He died shortly before the final entry could be transcribed - the police say suicide, but [[Anna Heath]] says murder.

* [[Theft|Who is C?]] We know that C is a woman, and that [[Monica Grand]] thought her surname begins with C. [[Claire Castille]] is our current best guess.

* Who are those [[Public Unrest|crazy anarchist vandals]]? They've been vandalising Perplex City up a storm with their funny symbols and references to leading Earth Anarchist thinkers. Do they have anything to do with anything, or are they simply easy press-scare fodder?

* The [http://wiki.incognitus.net/ppc/index.php/London_PCAG_event#The_London_Eye_and_Morse_Code|London Morse Code Message] - WTF? We have snippets that are possibly decoded, but no concrete solve for the full message. We were possibly meant to go to the Tate Gallery at some point, but clearly haven't. Chalk another one up to the 3P, y'all!

* Who, and where, is [[Cyrus Quinton]]? Cyrus Quinton was the operational mastermind of the Cube Theft Team (codename: V) and disappeared once he had murdered [[Monica Grand]]. His DNA records are not on the city databases, according to Helena Frye, which means he is either from outside the city, or has been able to hack into their records.

* Why build a Clean Room? Kurt stumbled across extremely well maintained tunnels beneath the Gillit Road Subway. In return for providing information on Quinton, Helena Frye revealed that the 3P were constructing a clean room for purposes unknown.

* [[Helena Frye]] - really as straight as all that? Helena Frye claims the Gillit Road fiasco was a legitimate secret Police operation gone wrong, no thanks to Kurt. But why did Kurt overhear the passing lackeys ask "why is Frye getting the police involved?" Was she a double-triple-something agent?

* What do you mean, "we never held it"? When Monica died, she told Sylvia that the original theft team "never held it" - meaning The Receda Cube. Was this part of the plan? Did the Cube autotransport itself to Earth? Or was their whole operation a botched mission, or indeed a decoy from the real setup?

* Who was above [[V]] in the chain of command? We know he has a Bigger Boss, possibly representative of an even bigger Conspiracy. Who are these people?

* Who's crooked at the Academy? We know that Cyrus Quinton called the Academy and had a heated discussion with someone on the day following the theft. (([[Alejo]]: "Even our best production guy, Cyrus, was a little off that day - I remember he was having this big argument, said he was talking to Helix about his contract, but when I redialed from the studio console a little later to talk to Helix, I got some office at the Academy.") Also, Kurt's friend [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2005/09/the_breakin.html speculated] (with an unknown level of actual information) that it would take at least two people to throughly circumvent the Academy's security systems, but said it was a "danger to say more." We know that one is "very senior" from the [[Leaked_E-mails#Super_Sneaky.21|leaked emails]]. V also refers to someone "more senior", who may or may not also reside at the Academy.

* Why steal the Cube? We currently can't ascribe a clear motive to the [[Third Power]] in their theft of the artefact.

* When will Violet & Kurt do the honourable thing and fall hopelessly in love with one another? Talking of which...

* Should we hate [[Miranda Katsoulis]]? Turned excessively paranoid, we've come to be highly suspicious of Kurt's new beau, Miranda, who appeared alongside another chap at the Library at the time the Granier Diaries were being restored. Which is not only suspicious, but there's also the fact that she isn't Violet, hence not good enough for Kurt. Obviously.

* What happened on the night of [[Leaked_E-mails#Sneaky.21|7th Jan, 2004]]? One of the conspirators nearly gave the game away to a female somebody. They said a "challenge" line, and the person they were talking to (by chance) completed the "third element", at which point the conspirator started blabbing. They quickly realised their mistake and said that "I barely gave anything away before realising the error. She didn't appear suspicious." Does anyone remember anything?

* [[Inari Ekeba]] is a Professor Of Natural Sciences and wanted to do Cube Research, but [[Sente Kiteway]] wouldn't let her. The [[Leaked_E-mails#Senior_Fellows_Meet_with_Sente|meeting ]]flared up and she rashly threatened to steal the Cube. Significant, or a red herring?

* If the cube is on Earth, how did it get here and how are we meant to get it back to Perplex City?
