__NOTOC__

On Wednesday 16th November 2005, Perplex City players who had completed the set of four blue hex cards were sent an e-mail congratulating them from the Academy.

However, it seems that the Academy's e-mail system managed to ''leak'' some internal e-mails at the bottom of these e-mails sent out to players. Each player so far has received a different e-mail fragment. They are arranged below in date order.

The top portion of the e-mail reads:

<div style="background-color: #d6d6d6; border: thin grey solid; padding: 10px;">"Dear [player name],

Congratulations, you've solved a set of four Perplex City cards. We've rewarded you by [[Leaderboard|doubling your points]] for each of the cards in the set.

Your Perplex Point total is now ''[total]''. You have solved ''[x]'' cards.
We in Perplex City would like to thank you for your continued dedication to our cause. With your help, we are certain that the Receda Cube will be found and returned safely.

Sincerely, 
The Puzzle Scribe Team 
Perplex City Academy"</div>

Then follows an error code:

<div style="background-color: #d6d6d6; border: thin grey solid; padding: 10px;">
"f8080:xx95034 
internal error academail 
criticalerror 420 
error-authconflict 
error-redirect 
error-handover 
error-output 
fatal-close"</div>

From 20th December 2005 it appears as if some of these emails have been sent again, although at this time they don't appear to be related to the actual solving of a set (i.e. although the email refers to solving a set, no card was solved at the time the email was sent). The resent email has an additional header at the start of the mail as follows.

<div style'"background-color: #d6d6d6; border: thin grey solid; padding: 10px;">
Failure in Centre for Reality Research Sandbox Mail Transport Daemon (daemon 
subprocess 3ea5). Mind Candy unavailable. Final resend attempt follows. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>

Wave 4 cards appear to have new e-mails associated with solving a set of cards. These e-mails start with an error message like the following.

<div style="background-color: #d6d6d6; border: thin grey solid; padding: 10px;">f90fmvvc9m239v-2;23f-000112academail

This page has become very ''very'' long. To help curb that, we are now sorting by year. Please see the appropriate page, linked below for older emails. This page will contain only emails from the current year. It would appear newer emails are being recieved in progression with waves of cards and major events, so (in theory) the newest emails should be chronologically sorted, to the bottom of this page.

Some of these messages have become extremely important. Those should be listed below......

Violet told us a story, after sherevealed she stole the cube, about her visiting the [[Five of Cups]] bar, and being approached by [[Q]]. Here is [[Q]] apologizing to his boss:

It's not my fault. I simply mistook the contact. The contact gave the
appropriate response to the feeder line and correctly completed the
third element. I barely gave anything away before realising the error. She
didn't appear suspicious. Contact correctly identified within two
hours. I don't think this need go further up the line. Please do not refer
to [[V]].

After being led to suspicions of ill-will, Violet thought maybe it would be best to camp out in the Museum and see what happens. This meant sneaking in, which meant having a reason not to be at the ball:

Hiya - sorry, you know I said I was coming down with something? Well, it's
turned into definite flu: headache, achey joints etc. I don't think I can make
it tonight. Scarlett's coming, though, isn't she? I'm sure it'll be a great
success as usual.

After stealing the Cube, Violet was left holding the bag. Literally. An embroidered "I <3 NY" bag, a shovel, and a jacket were the only physical evidence Violet had ever been to Earth. And Scarlett managed to make a mess of the bag.

[[Sente Kiteway|Dad]].... would you let [[Violet Kiteway|Violet]] know that I borrowed her embroidered bag and, well, kind of spilled juice on it.... I promise I'll get her a new one, honest, but I know she'll be cross and it'd be so better coming from you... Pleeease?

[[Q]] (Bernardo Holyoke) got a bit full of himself. He hid some stolen academy [[parts]], which were later discovered by police (after a tip from [[Pietro Salk]], who got a tip from [[Monica Grand]]). Holyoke's penalty for disobedience was swift execution.

And Q? Do we wish to take any other retributive measures? As a message to anyone else who might be tempted to try to steal from us?

I think not. We always knew that we might have to eliminate members of your team. Q was foolish in trying to keep some of these items from us, and he has paid the price. I think the matter ends here.

Very well. I shall continue to monitor the other members of the team, as agreed.

In the middle of endless confusion, it was revealed that [[Aiko]] was a reconstructionist. She had already come under suspicion for her involvement in the Academy ball, but not discernible connection could be made. [[Violet]]'s discovery at the recon compound, and a certain [[Recon Encryption Puzzle]] put all eyes on her.

[[Aiko Entrescore|Aiko's]] personnel file is attached. As you can see we've always been aware that
she was strongly religious. I do not see that this has the slightest implication
for her work.

I disagree. This information is certainly evidence in the theft of the Cube. I'm turning it over to the proper authorities now.

[[Caine]] is a man of many hidden secrets. Most of them quite incriminating.

That today would be a good day to go back home and call in sick a bit later.
Fortunately for you, only Von and I are in the office so far to see your
telltale fingernails. My advice is, cut them as short as you can and use
McWhirter's Reliable Remover. Old fashioned but it works. It was a nice piece of performance theatre, though.

[[Lara Feldenbrandt]], manager of [[Viendenbourg]] mining operations, reported directly to Sente. You see, Sente was secretly building a new Cube. This required a great deal of unstable materials, and experimental technological procedures. [[Scarlett]] and [[Violet]] would stumble upon these things later.

Good news to report, sir. We've finally achieved a good accretion rate for the material, and we should be able to amass the desired concentration by sometime toward the end of the month. If all goes well, this means we should be able to begin trials of the device by mid-June. Provided, of course, that we get those last bits of gear you keep promising.
