| This guide isn't designed to be comprehensive, and instead deals with pertinent incidents - although the scope seems to be expanding somewhat due to [[User:GuyP]]'s masochism.

| |
| 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.

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]].

| | Kurt meets [[Helena Frye]] in a cheap cafè on [[Alchemy Bay]] to hand over the evidence - read [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2006/02/exonerated.html here] and [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2006/02/the_clean_rooms.html here]. Not only is he exonerated (definitely better than being exsanguinated) but he discovers that the people at Gillit Road were "building something ''big''... that required a clean room." And that this all ties in to the technology that's been going missing from The [[Academy]]. (Remember: [[Bernardo Holyoke]], [[Five of Cups]], [[Reynolds Ionisers]], etc.)

| |[[Miranda]] has gone off "up north" teaching kids to run, so Kurt is [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2006/03/relationships.html feeling a bit lonely], bless him. More relevant to our inquiries: he's acknowledged that we'd like him to help with the Anna/Cymbalisty thing, and says he "might send a note to Anna" about it. Which, lets face it, is better than running off screaming.

| | Violet's back from a long absence of "not feeling like blogging much lately" what with her boss topping himself and everything. She's been "going for lunch" (which I'm starting to think is a euphenism) with Caine, and the verdict on him is ''funny but messy''. Regarding Jason, he's hot stuff, but there's no chemistry. (Also: he's obviously evil.) Most importantly, she misses Kurt. [http://www.quirkyacuity.com/archives/2006/03/the_past_month.html Awwwwwww].

| | Kurt and Anna have a [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2006/03/isaac_and_cymba.html blazing row] when Anna asks him to set up a phone-based comms link between Earth and the police hotline, and he tells her to "get over it and stop making up conspiracy theories." Kurt Hits For -10 HP!
| |
| Later that day, he posts a [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2006/03/counterpoint_1.html counterpoint]. Or at least that's what he says, but generally maintains that [[Anna]] is delusional and us Earthlings are just plain naive. To be fair, he might have a point. A glimmer of hope: he says he'll hear Anna out.

| | Ah, Kurt is managing to be [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2006/03/remapping_1.html spectacularly irate] while evidently slowly coming around to the idea of setting up the PXC-Earth phonelink. Nice bit of off-key sexism from a random player, you'll notice.

| | Kurt crumbles like a nice old bit of cheese, and agrees to set up the link, which is here. Then it's all go go go! We start calling in a massive crime-wave, even with some level of co-ordination, which must be a first for us. Some people get a bit overexcited and call in bomb threats, murders and the like, which is exactly what Kurt has asked us not to do, but never mind.

| | Kurt [http://thepathofleasttime.com/archives/2006/03/and_consequence.html explains] how he was convinced to help, but isn't best pleased with our antics. And if I may say so, rightfully so.
