==General==
*'''Website:''' http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/futures/
*Futures are a section in the [[Perplex City Sentinel]], much like Horoscopes on Earth.
*As on Earth, each sign has an association with a certain portion of the [[Calendar]]
*Also as on Earth, The signs appear to have mythological significance.
*Many people believe the futures are all stuff and nonesense.

==The Signs==
===The Hand===
*January 11 - February 10
*[[Gyvann]] referred to hands often, and it has been speculated that he may have been using a play on phrase referring to literal and skyward hands at once.

===The Baby===
*February 11 - March 10

===The Eagle===
*March 11 - April 10

===The Spider===
*April 11 - May 10

===The Wave===
*May 11 - June 10

===The Archer===
*June 11 - July 10
*Famous Archers:
**[[Scarlett Kiteway]]
*May be in reference, maybe, to an ancient cult in Perplex City known as [[The Archers of Dawn]]

===The Half-filled Jug===
*July 11 - August 10
*Refers to one of [[Five Tasks of Madna]]
**Madna was to fill the [[Mazy River]] using a jug.

===The Dragon===
*August 11 - September 10
*Famous Dragons:
**[[Violet Kiteway]]

===The Three Balls===
*September 11 - October 10

===The Dice===
*October 11 - November 10

===The Maze===
*November 11 - December 10
*Refers to one of [[Five Tasks of Madna]]
**Madna was to navigate the [[Maze of Stars]]
*Famous Mazes:
**[[Alejo Jackson]]

===The Apple-Thief===
*December 11 - January 10
*Refers to one of [[Five Tasks of Madna]]
**Madna was to steal the apple from the jaws of a giant crocodile.
*This sign is always delivered in prose of some sort.
*in a mythical sense, according to [[Gyvann]], The Apple-Thief is the bringer of justice. He makes right all that is askew, though the righting may often be painful.
*Famous Apple Thieves:
**[[Cyrus Quinton]]

===And Remember, ...===
The futures, as presented by [[Madame Bianca]], always includes a more general statement. This advice always begins with '''And Remember,'''. It is unknown if this is a traditional means of telling futures, or simply one of Madame Bianca's hallmarks.

==References==
*The [[Reconstructionists]] have a security system which uses a knowledge and awareness of the futures.

**blog, 03-JUN-05 "Success" {{WaybackS1|www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2005/06/success.html}}

*[[Cyrus Quinton]] left a very subtle puzzle, which required us to find his sign.

"The Apolyton Institute is one of the more mysterious organisations in the city. There are always rumours flying around about the things they do: when the Cube went missing quite a few people thought it was an Apolyton stunt. There's quite a bit of cross-pollination in staff between Apolyton and the Academy, but the Apolyton ex-staffers are always so firmly NDAed that they'd get sued if they even muttered 'Apolyton' in their sleep. Looks like someone's interested in penetrating that impregnable fortress."<p>

"..practical research projects"
The Apolyton Institute is the city's foremost facility for practical research projects.
While a great deal of our work begins with theory, we always aim to produce concrete products for use in the real world.

At the Institute, our projects bridge both the public and private sectors, and are funded by a variety of sources. Clients can be assured of absolute discretion and exclusivity, and our commissioned products are all developed by discrete teams under water-tight contracts. The research and its products can then be bought with infinite copyright, ensuring no competitor will ever have access to the same tools or data.

Should you wish to initiate a project or discuss our terms, point your key to:

projects at apolytoninstitute dot com

The Apolyton attracts some of the brightest minds in the city, but we are not currently recruiting. If you are of interest to the Institute, we will contact you directly.
